    Xenoblade Chronicles X DE Wishlist

    What improvements are you most looking forward to?

    Personally, I'd love for them to fix the music. My god, once you unlock flying and infinite overdrive the whole game's soundtrack devolves into two tracks over and over and over again. It's awful.

    So that's my #1 most requested change.

    What about you guys?

    [Spoilers] Everybody please hear me out.

    Please let me cook. The green light glowing on Elma’s chest in her suit is the Pneuma crystal. The Black Knight at the end of the trailer is Malos/the Logos crystal.

    I refuse to further elaborate.

    Now that Xenoblade X is finally getting a switch port, more people can appreciate the amazing ost composed by the goat himself Hiroyuki Sawano.

    Questions about XCX

    Like many people in this sub I guess, I heard about the recent announcement of XCX DE and I am planning to buy it. However, I never played the original title and had some questions related to it, for people who ideally played all titles 1,2,3,X

    1. The first very crucial question: among yourselves, do you call it "Xenoblade Chronicles Cross" like in Japanese, or "X"??
    2. The first serious question: I heard the game was multiplayer, but I probably won't have the possibility to play multi. Is the solo adventure still fun? Do you miss a lot of content? (Like, multi exclusive bosses?)
    3. How would you compare the battle systems of X VS 1,2,3? I'm not talking in terms of good or bad since it's subjective, more like in terms of depth, time you can spend polishing strategies, frustration potential if relevant, or any vaguely objective criterion you can think of. But subjective opinions like "I enjoyed this part" are also welcome.
    4. I watched the trailer and the last sequence confused me. I guess it's a hint to the potential "Future connected" of this title. Without spoiling the story too much, do XCX players know these two people on the beach?
    5. Final question. When I played XC3 with friends, we had a lot of fun digging all the connections with XC1-2, and thought that there was visibily nothing for X. But at the last seconds of the final cutscene, there is this unexplained light coming to earth (I believe it doesn't deserve a spoiler mark). At the time we were confused, and thought it was either a foreshadowing of the story of future title, or something related to X (I don't know, maybe a spaceship coming back to earth or something). Does anyone know about (Reddit?) posts about theories about this particular thing, and more generally about connections between X and the rest of the franchise? The only point I understood was clear (but is it?), is that the premise of XCX is people leaving Earth after a big destructive war that was likely the one at the root of the Klaus events.

    Thanks a lot for your help and see you in March! (Or earlier if they decide again to randomly drop it earlier)

    Xenoblade Has Found It's Home

    With the announcement of Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition, I can't help but be excited for its release next year. It's the only Xenoblade game I have yet to play, so it will be a whole new experience for me, from the gameplay and the world of Mira. I never thought XCX would come to the switch, but here it is. I'm glad cause this is an excellent opportunity for newcomers to come to the series.

    We've come a long way, and now, Xenoblade as a whole will continue to receive the love and attention it deserves. To think, we got here because of XC2, which is also why I hope it will receive a definitive edition. It started Xenoblade Chronicles' journey on the switch, but we'll have to wait and see. Until then, I can't wait to begin my XCX journey.

    What changes do you hope are made in XCXDE?

    If XC2 gets a definitive edition, what changes/additions would you like to see?

    XCX has been my stickerstar and I hope DE changes that.

    It was not a short time between the original announcement of XCX and the time it was released a decade ago or maybe it just felt like a long time to a 15 year old, regardless I let my expectations run completely wild to a degree that no game or product could ever hope to reach. All I could see was what the game wasn't and how upset that made me rather than what the game actually was. Flash forward to now and I'm realizing I remember almost nothing about XCX other than my negative feelings towards it, in a few months I will be going back in with unreasonable expectations but in the complete opposite direction.

    Do you think we’ll be seeing major qol changes to the game like the positioning arrow from 3 in the battle system?

    I only played the rom on emulator, but i really hope they incorporate the positioning arrow at least instead of text saying “right” or “left.” X has too much text clutter in general in the UI, it needs to be simplified for the definitive release. They could keep the arts scroll (even though button shortcuts are way better) but at least give me the positioning arrow. Also hope they make the camera feel better to control as i remember controlling the camera in x felt just bad/unsmooth.

    Just getting into Xenoblade. Where do I start?

    I don't know this community well, so I don't know what you'll think of this, but I only heard about Xenoblade from Super Smash Bros Ultimate with Pyra and Mythra in the DLC. Funny enough Pyra and Mythra are now my mains in the game, and I enjoy their designs and gimmicks. I did some research about Xenoblade and am interested in getting into the series. I'm a Switch only gamer, so when I went onto the EShop I was a little overwhelmed. I would assume I should start at Xenoblade Chronicles- the base game. But are they in order? Do I need to play the previous games before starting the next ones? And what's Xenoblade Chronicles X? Should I preorder that? I'm really confused at where to start and was hoping to get some advice from real players. Thanks!

    In Light of the Xenoblade X DE Announcement…

    … Could someone please explain exactly what happened in the opening fleet battle over Earth?

    Like, was it JUST the Ganglion fighting the… I think they’re called Ghosts? Or were the Ganglion part of a larger force?

    Does anyone have an affinity chart guide for Xenoblade X?

    With the release of Xenoblade X Definitive Edition it made me curious if anyone has made an affinity chart guide for X. I know we have the wonderful guides for 1 and 3 from Stargleam and Kedoya (I believe) so I was curious if there was one I could use for my first playthrough of X.

    So, as we seem to be getting a remaster of Xenoblade games 10 years after release. (Grain of salt must be taken ofc)

    What do you hope for in a Xenoblade 2 Definitive Edition? Better tutorials? More Blade variety? Noah and Mio as Blades? New extra side story?

    Can we finally end the debate whether X is connected to main Xenoblade series

    There are some of you who still think Xenoblade X is a standalone series. It is clear that they are adding new story content especially end story content to soft retcon and fully connect the series. Future redeemed radio scene should've already proven this yet you still wont believe it. What will it take for you to change your mind? Guess we will find out this March, better meet me back here, I wanna see yall admit it.

    X has always been in desperate need of some quality of life improvements, so I made a XCXDE QoL features bingo card. Let’s see if Monolith gives us a bingo in 5 months.
