Starter tips:

Do the Mercedes escort quest as soon as it shows up, it will enable 5 successive quests with a good story and reward you with a great mid-late game shield. This quest is easily missed as it disappears as soon as you finish the everfall exploration upon arriving in Gran Soran.

All the chests have a specific loot table most which it has been documented since. Loot is not decided till the very moment you open a chest so saving just before looting can save you a few return trips.
