Xenoblade Chronicles Heart-To Heart Answers and Locations Guide
What are Heart-to-Heart Events?
Heart-to-heart moments provide insight into your characters and how they interact with one another. By finding them, you’ll be gifted with dialogue exchanges between party members, provided you already have the party members in question).
Each pair of characters has three heart-to-heart moments shared between them, making 63 in total. These conversations are easily recognizable on your map with a symbol of shaking hands, indicating where they are.
Some heart-to-hearts only appear at certain times of the day, and they may require a prerequisite affinity level before being able to use them.
To gain the most out of these moments, you’ll need to ensure you respond with the correct dialogue choices. By doing this, you’ll be able to use more skill links between characters, resulting in more devastating attacks and combos you can put forward to your enemies.
