Spoiler alert

The future doesn't belong to you!

For those who have not completed games in the Xenoblade Chronicles series, this page contains spoilers regarding the plot. Discretion is advised.

Surprise quests are quests in Xenoblade Chronicles that appear automatically when certain conditions are met. There are twelve surprise quests in the game; nine (ten in Definitive Edition) are Timed Quests. Some surprise quests are triggered by entering an area at the right time, while others activate as part of a larger quest chain. Note that although Gather Information will later disappear, the game does not identify it as a timed quest (except in Definitive Edition).

There are two surprise quests in Future Connected.
