WHAT IS AN ACHIEVEMENT?
=============================================================================
An Achievement is a 'Play Award', if you will, in Xenoblade Chronicles. You
get these by completing various side tasks and you get a varying amount of EXP
for each one. Some Achievements in the game give as much as 50,000 EXP.
