It is time to dive into all that Xenoblade Chronicles: Future Connected has to offer and this time, we’re going all-in on the Side Quests and to avoid any confusion, we will be splitting up the Bionis’ Shoulder’s 40 side quests from the singular Alcamoth side quest:
*A number of side quests are story locked, so as you advance through the story of Future Connected, more side quests will become available, with some even requiring players to have a certain character set as the Party Leader, when talking to the NPC who requires your aid.
