The Frontier Net made up of Data Probes will automatically mine for things like Miranium, an all-purpose ore, and other ores and crystals called 'Rare Resources'. By finding Treasure Chests and completing quests, you will be able to upgrade the Data Probes functions.
Mining Probe: Increases production, gathers more 'Miranium'.
Research Probe: If you've found a hidden area or beautiful view in the areas surrounding this probe, you can gather tourism money.
Battle Probe: Battling within the region surrounding this probe will give you various effects during battle.
Storage Probe: Increases the amount of Miranium you can store.
Strength Probe: Increases the effects of surrounding data probes.

Thanks streets, you know your work is always appreciated
I just realized that regular monsters don't leave those treasure chests anymore. Now treasure chests contain rare items with a special icon for the map. I think that was one of the issues with the current Xenoblade Chronicles with areas littered with treasure chests all over the place after battling lots of monsters and they actually stayed there (until it reached a limit) or you opened them. I think that change streamlines the process even further than Xenoblade Chronicles. That and faster action battles seem to be the major improvements to me.

Sawano and his weird track names... why I'm not surprised lol
EDIT: only 47 tracks? hopefully that's not all
There are around 90 tracks according to Takahashi.

being from Sawano I wonder if the titles will have any hints at all to the content of the game
I would love hints
- thanks as always Streets
But is it just me or the sound effect when you stop moving the cameria is just soo annoying? In fact I don't even know why they put in it. It just doesn't seem necessary.
I forget if it's the case, but didn't one of the staff mention the areas would have two forms? The author of that blog mentions "X to Z" being in some of the song titles.

As in... Heart-to-Heart? Awesome!
I love stuff like that. Hopefully there are plenty of them.

heart-to-heart was for the core party
affinity was quests given by NPCs who were too lazy or too shy to get their own relationships moving lol
I think we will have so much that people around here will moan endlessly about where can I find what's his name at 19:00hrs
minus that hideous squeaking sound. I sure hope you can toggle that off. I couldn't handle it even in that short clip, let alone trying to use it in game.

Oh, I thought heart-to-hearts were classified as an affinity quest too =X
Damn it...
Oh well, I at least hope they are still in the game in some form...
I decided to watch some Treehouse footage, and notice they still are getting treasure from enemies. It may be auto-pickup? http://youtu.be/byajRMoh6BQ?t=22m16s
But the result screen does say "treasure box." I don't know what this means for quests or farming, but monster drops are still there.

in the first game heat to hearts where locations on the map were cut-scene would happen between party members a conversation would take place where you had a few options correct answers would raise affinity/closeness of friendship as they all mean the same it impacted how well you fought together in some ways I guess
anyway heart to heart is just core party affinity done as a cut-scene test with responses you chose you could also raise affinity by giving correct gifts as well to raise just like the wrong answers would drop levels the wrong gift to a party member would also drop the status
NPC affinity was quests based which was more like doing long string of things for them making deliveries or killing monsters, getting items
heart to heart was just finding the many cutscene locations and hope you responded correctly to everything at that spot

Melia and Emma Amiibo pls.
Man, I hope there won't ever be a Xenoblade Amiibo line. Whether they are Melia, Fiora or naked Dunban or X's Dolls, Nintendo would hurt my wallet very badly.
Thanks a lot! Gonna add to the OP in a minute.
Also, JP boxart for XC3D (from Amazon):

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
please, I want a face nemesis amiibo.
Same. I've got a Toon Link, Shulk arriving tomorrow and a pre-ordered Ness and have made a solemn vow to buy no more, but if there's any chance of I'll be able to recreate the "can't make a rainbow without Reyn" exchange in amiibo form that'll be right out the window.
Whole party amiibo. Xord amiibo. Metal Face amiibo. Believe.

Something I still don't understand about this game are the playable characters.. at first I thought every character presented at the official site was in the party, but I don't think Van Damme or Nagi are, and at this point neither Ru. Would love to see more of the battle system, and the playable characters.
