During the "timed event" in the festival early game, you can rescue people all over the town BEFORE the timer starts.
MAKE SURE TO RESCUE EVERYONE.
The first time I played I forgot the woman in the church and always had to save elsewhere.

Grinding up money to upgrade your ARMS is pretty time consuming. Choose a weapon, upgrade it, move on, and if things start getting too strong, then upgrade again.

The keys that can unlock those odd doors called replicators, are fairly limited in number. Choose wisely.

There are a fuck ton of bonus bosses and bonus stuff in general. If you really want to find everything, get a walkthrough. Cause there are some stuff that can end up lost forever.
