Ah thanks forgot all about dat. So they have indeed improved sidequest a bit then.

More than that. It never used to show you icons for the random items you need to collect. You'd just have to wander around every area hoping to bump into them.

It was more rewarding when you did find one, but it could also take you an eternity, and you were never totally sure you were in the right part of the map.

Not unless you had a guide, which I used via the Xenoblade Wiki page, but I also considered that cheating. But I was too frustrated and fed up to care, I just wanted to finish the damn quests and get the EXP and affinity. 

I didn't find myself doing that NEARLY as much with the Definitive Edition, which was a big plus in my book.
