There are a whole bunch of Sightseeing Spots to find across Planet Mira and, what Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition perhaps doesn't quite make clear enough, unlocking them adds bonuses to your FrontierNav output. So they have a function, other than looking good!
We thought it doubly important to put together this quick-look guide to the locations of every Sightseeing Spot in the game, each with a map.
Let's go sightseeing!
