Is there a simple and easy list of all questions for reference somewhere online? I don't want to bother with not maximizing my points as I play through the game
You're going to be constantly looking at a guide if you really want to max out your points in your first playthrough. I'm saving myself the headache and not bothering.

The thing is, I absolutely love Trails and I love that there's so much hidden content for people to stumble across and make for varied playthroughs, but if you're the kind of person that can't stand that you might have missed something somewhere and need to use a guide, this series is really going to test your mettle on some things.
There are god damned hidden sidequests that only trigger if you talk to certain NPCs multiple times and extremely short hidden sidequest/item time windows between missions all over the place. I save that shit for subsequent playthroughs and just enjoy the game as best I can along with the story for my first time.
You'd be surprised how much similar the older Trails are to Cold Steel combat wise. It's basically the same thing except without ARCUS links and with unskippable attack animations.
Yeah, and not only that, but to talk to folks twice just in case. I don't want a repeat of the thing that caused me to miss out on that single volume of Gambler Jack again.
No idea how some of you guys can finish the game, about ~28 hours in and only in chapter 3. Maybe I am just slow haha
BTW random thought, does anyone else wish to see the party members following around in a dungeon for example? Kinda wish I could physical see them, but O well. Just me perhaps.

Yeah, i'm surprised at the speed of some players myself. Then again, I had other stuff to deal with too. Can't play games all the time!
As for the second point, after getting used to that in SC, I was hoping to see that as well. I can see why Falcom opted that out for CS though as monsters would attack almost always or something as they can initiate a battle if they run into one of your party members à la SC.
Is there some trick to making money that I've been missing? I'm pretty dirt poor most of the time and can't really afford both weapon and armor upgrades. Should I be abusing septith vein more or something? I'm up to Chapter 4 and gear hasn't felt like a huge issue so far but it's a bit concerning.

I'm really enjoying the character interaction in this game. Another touch that appeals to me is that all the NPCs are actually different people with names and individual character models. It's a lot less lazy compared to other JRPGs.
Thanks Dio for talking me into getting this game.
P.S. To those who need to make some money... one thing I've noticed is that you can abuse cooking. If you buy a bunch of eggs and rock salt you can have Elliot craft a ton of Simple Omelets and sell them. Repeat. Make sure it's Elliot btw. He makes the best ones.
I honestly did not know who Carrie Keranen was before, but between her work as Lailah and now Sara, she's becoming one of my favorites. It helps that I love those 2 characters.
Another tip, don't ignore breakable objects. They may not always drop items, but there were a lot of times it dropped something similar or slightly better than even the chests in that area.
Chapter 3 is a pain. I hope this is the only area that has this scale, it just takes too long to get around and exacerbates the fact that I'm mostly doing fetch quests.
I'm not done with the chapter, and Plot Stuff finally happened though, so things are looking up.

Hmm, I'm only in the first chapter and I've already found three book chapters, and they're so much longer than the chapters from previous games are. I guess this book is a lot more involved.
Currently in chapter 4 and all I can say so far is that.....I feel like I am missing so much from the bigger picture.
Having not had a chance to play TC, Ao, and Zero every time a special person's name comes up, or we are introduced to a new mysterious person I keep thinking to myself, "Were they in TC/Zero/Ao? What am I missing here. There is probably oodles of hidden meanings to the scene." For example the
bracer in chapter 2 just had me almost throwing shit at the TV. I know he had to have shown up before this game. Then he makes reference to a couple from a foreign land which one could only assume was either Estelle and Joshua or maybe the main character couple from TC.
I just fucking hate it. Really wish I hadn't opened this game now but am committed to play until the end just in the hopes that maybe one day before I die we get the other three prequels.

You know what? I completely agree with you. I played FC in 2011 and that was my last experience with the franchise until now, I get the feeling that all these characters must've showed up at some point in the past games. They'll even stress over an event that supposedly took place during TC (I didn't play that one, so it might be SC or even Zero), but you miss the context.
In the middle of Chapter 2 now an Machias went from dude I'd figure would later betray the party to full tsundere
I'm not feeling the lack of money since I grind plenty of battles but instead feel like I have way more quartz than I know what ta do with. Opening slots is expensive! It also sucks that the party members not with the current group ran off with the quartz they had equipped. No Forte for me unless I buy a new one an thats so not happening!
