If I'm planning on getting 100% in pic-related, should I save all the side-quests for NG+ or do them in my first playthrough?

If you want to get 100% completion and also enjoy the game then do them in your first playthrough.
If you want to get 100% as quickly as possible and don't really care about the fact that you'll obliterate most sidequests with no effort then do them in NG+.

As far as I'm aware NG+ doesn't change anything apart from being able to unlevel, and being able to pull the Torna blades
Juan Russell
Do whatever
I finished almost all by the time I ended the game. Then shortly after finished the post game ones.

No need to care about side quests man, this game doesn't lock out anything. You can quick travel out during story dungeons, no problem. Just play it at your own pace.

Why not plan a suicide instead?

The part which takes the longest is getting Ursula to S+. And while you do it, you can do most of everything else.

Monolith's games are notoriously completionists nightmares, user. I wouldn't advise to do it, because you'll end up in a psychiatric hospital.
Also newdrivers pasta for our newbros:
-Screencap tutorials because there isn't a reasonable way to view them again.
-Rex automatically gets fantastic blades so you don't need to give him much Blades from the gacha (but give him 2 or 3 good Blades)
-Use Pouch Items as much as possible, especially the ones that lets you recharge your Arts faster. Makes the flow of the battle better.
-On skill trees, you will see an ability unlock "Cancel a driver art with another driver art". It's imperative that you unlock this ASAP because it boosts the flow of battle tremendously.
-Also get the 3 skills that lets you start a battle with the Art already charged on the X, Y and B buttons
-Understand the Attack Cancelling mechanic, as it makes the flow of the battle better by recharging Arts quickly
-Swapping blades refills their arts palette.
-You can combo into and out of swapping blades.
-Most enemies will aggro you if you aren't 8 levels above them. And look at your environment before taking a step in the wild, or you could get your ass raped by a Gorilla 80 levels over you. But the game don't punish you for exploring, so don't be afraid to do it.
-Don't use too much bonus XP at inns unless you really need to because it can completely trivialize the game.
-Focus on the Driver Combo of Break > Topple > Launch > Smash when they will be introduced. The sooner you can understand this set up, the better.
-Besides battles and h2h, you can raise trust between a Driver and their Blade by repeatedly using pouch items over and over again.
-Raising trust with your Blade is needed to unlock the Blade's skill tree in most cases.
-Don't waste protocol overdrives on common blades. The game only gives you a few.
-DON'T kill the little Arduran in Torigoth until you feed it to Lv.99. He'll become the best Legendary Cores farming spot.

Not again this shitty game
