Unlocking Fast Travel in Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition
FN Sites vs. Landmarks
Fast-Travel unlocks after completingChapter 2. You can fast travel by tapping the(+) buttonon your Nintendo Switch controller and selectingMap. This will bring up a map of the area marked with Landmarks, FrontierNet Sites (FN Sites), and available quests (indicated by an exclamation point).Any FN Site or Landmarkthat appears on your map can be warped to simply by hovering over it and pressing A-button.
While you’ll automatically unlock Landmark travel points when you discover them, FN Sites (indicated by golden light) require aData Probeto acquire data from the area. Data Probes are unique in that they are reusable and can removed and placed on new FN Sites.
There are different types of Data Probes, but rare/special ones can only be earned from missions and treasure boxes. In the FrontierNav tab, look at thepop up menu(Data Probe Details) to view its abilities.
You won’t be able to swap Data Probes until you’ve completed Chapter 2. Also keep in mind that swapping Data Probes costs money.
There are 104 FN Sitesand 150 Landmarks throughout Mira, and they’re all divided among its five regions:Primordio, Noctilum, Oblivia, Syvalum,andCauldros. Unlike FN Sites, there’s no indicator of Landmarks on your map, so you’ll just need to explore the area.
Can You Fast Travel within New Los Angeles?
Fast Travel: Indoors vs. Outside
Fast Traveling around the New Los Angeles building is the same as fast-traveling anywhere else in Mira. The only difference is you’ll want tozoom in on the buildingto identify the landmarks that you’ve discovered within New Los Angeles. You can zoom in on the map by pushing forward on theright analog stick.
Unlike the outdoors, you won’t find anyFN Sites within New Los Angeles, so you won’t have to worry about reusing Data Probes.
