Xenoblade Chronicles 2 patch eliminates major headaches

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 received a big update on March 1. Developer Monolith Soft added a New Game+ feature, an Easy difficulty mode, and fixed some bugs. But those weren’t the best parts.

The patch brought about some major quality-of-life updates that I had wanted since I started playing the Japanese role-playing game in December. First off, quest objectives and other icons now show up on the game’s minimap. Yeah, that seems like an obvious feature — but before, you had to go into your menus and look at the map in there if you wanted to see exactly where things were.
