Heart-to-Heart (XCX)

Heart-to-Hearts are short dialogues between the protagonist's avatar, Cross, and another playable party member in Xenoblade Chronicles X. Viewing them grants a large amount of, and doing so can help complete segment recon for the Mira survey.

Usually, party members can be found in a specific spot in New Los Angeles, where talking to them will recruit them to the main party. However, if the right conditions are met at the right time of day, the character may be absent or somewhere else. This indicates that they are likely somewhere where they can participate in a Heart-to-Heart. Often, one of the city inhabitants can help locate Heart-to-Hearts by mentioning both the character and the action they're doing.

To view a Heart-to-Heart, the participating character needs to be outside of the active party with a certain level of affinity at the right time of day: the first talk requires an affinity of 1 Heart, the second 2 hearts, and so on. When this happens, they will be away from their normal place, and finding them and talking to them will start the Heart-to-Heart conversation.

In some cases, the Heart-to-Heart will involve a dog or a cat. Changing the pet in the BLADE Barracks is sometimes required to satisfy the Heart-to-Heart conditions, since the talk will sometimes involve that pet.

Each Heart-to-Heart has multiple different paths in total; Cross will often get one to three chances throughout the conversation to respond, with certain choices increasing Affinity for the characters in their team, including the Heart-to-Heart partner.
