* There's a sidequest where you have to retrieve some dice for someone. It's recommended to have 6100 gold on you before you attempt to complete this sidequest, as one of the characters you'll speak to during this quest is a merchant who sells two items that are used for exploration. The items aren't missable, it's just that the merchant moves around after you complete the quest, traveling to random positions across the entire game world (including places you've not gotten to yet). She isn't marked on the map, so it's very annoying if you need to track her down.

* Shortly after you get to the Hidden City, you'll encounter a new enemy and will be given a shotgun. The shotgun takes 2 or 3 shots to kill them. Instead of this, get the combat skill that lets you dodge counter. It's easy to do, way faster, and honestly easier.

* The game is surprisingly light on combat - you might want to focus on non-combat skills because of this. Unlike previous games, there's no random human combat, and no way to have fights in the postgame.
