FAQ (WIP)
• "Do I need to play the other Xenoblade Chronicles games to play Xenoblade Chronicles X?"
Xenoblade Chronicles X is largely standalone in the Xenoblade Universe. However, there is new content exclusive to the definitive edition that will only be understood by people who have played the other games in the series.
• "How many chapters are there in total?"
There are thirteen chapters total.
• "What division should I choose?"
In Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition, BLADE level mechanics have been removed, so which division you choose has no significant impact on gameplay or progression. Pick whichever one you want!
• "Which class should I pick?"
Striker, Samurai Gunner, and Duelist wield the Assault Rifle and Longsword. This is a straightforward combination of weapons and is recommended to new players, with the longsword having high damage and the assault rifle being a versatile weapon with high utility.
Shield Trooper and Bastion Warrior use the Gattling Gun, a high damage ranged weapon specialized at handling multiple enemies at once, and the shield, a great weapon for survivability but with low damage for the main story.
Commando, Winged Viper, and Full Metal Jaguar use Dual Guns and Dual Swords. This class is considered the fastest way to really take advantage of the game's mechanics, with dual guns being a self-sufficient weapon with high survivability while dual swords have a good mix of damage and utility arts and a focus on positional gameplay, much like Shulk in Xenoblade 1.
Partisan Eagle and Astral Crusader wield the Sniper Rifle, a very high damage weapon, and Javelin, a unique weapon with good options for survivability and a focus on electric damage.
Enforcer, Psycorruptor, and Mastermind wield the Raygun and Knife, both weapons with strong support options but with few strong damage options during the main story.
Blast Fencer and Galactic Knight wield Psycho Launchers, a weapon with strong options for utility and survivability but low damage, and the Photon Saber, a weapon that focuses on chaining multiple successive melee attacks together.
Once you've mastered the end of a class line you can use its weapons on any other class, meaning that after mastering all classes you can match any ranged weapon with any melee weapon. Experiment to find the combination that works best for you!
• "Why are there some arts I can't unlock by leveling up my class?"
Each recruitable party member has two arts exclusive only to them, but by completing their affinity missions, you can unlock those arts for yourself.
• "How do I get a Skell?"
Once you complete Chapter 6, the quest "The Skell License" will become available, which will give you the ability to get Skells for you and other members of your party.
• "How come my skell doesn't have any arts?"
The arts a skell has are determined by the weapons it has equipped in each of its Shoulder, Back, Arm, and Spare weapon slots. You can purchase these weapons in the shop or obtain them by defeating certain enemies.

Why does he kind of have malos’s hair
Also, am I the only one who thinks he would have styled his hair after malos or vandham or is that just me or would you guys have preferred? He have a long hair in style after either. Pyra mythra or pneuma cause I feel like which ever one he still would’ve looked cool

Xenoblade 2 Affinity chart pouch item requirements
To recap, does the pouch item/category in question explicitly need to be given to that blade's driver for it to count? Or does that blade only need to be present while it's given to anyone in the active party? Mostly asking for Boreas while in the process of filling his nodes.

Xenoblade 2 Tiger Tiger prize pools
Going for the Tank Mod III chip for the DLC quest, and aiming to complete this before Chapter 4, whose region contains the manual to just manufacture this thing manually. I remember that the final stage in Tiger Tiger is the only means of obtaining the rare endgame parts like the Light element chip, but in terms of obtaining this chip, does it only appear as the main prize for the first stage? Or would I have better chances doing the second?

Xenoblade Genesis SPOILERS Is Aionios and Anshar the same World type? Spoiler
So it's still a mystery what Aionions truly is. We know that it acts as a world created between the merging of the worlds, presumambly pulling data recorded in Origin cores to extrapolate the landmasses. When asked about this in a dev interview, Takahashi didn't want to comment on what Aionios was yet, and that we would have to wait to find out, and maybe we will with Anshar?
The biggest dot connecting the two is that both games uses some sort of ritual to direct motes of light toward the sky. A solid theory right now is that the lightmotes from XC3 acted as data that was collected by Origin, which is why objects could emit motes. Maybe it's a similar mechanism we see at display in Genesis, where there is some sort of data collection happening, with the primary sun acts as a collection point.
Another similarity that might come to play is that both worlds power structures seems to be pretty oppresive. We don't know this for sure yet in Genesis, but the way "Cain?" talked about the Vesselai seemed like he was trying to frame the role itself as morally gray, sort of like Noah questions the system in the start of 3. I'm guesing the "victims" he talked about had a bigger reason for opposing them, and may actually end up being more justifiable in their cause, leading to the party leaving the school to oppose the system.
But just the fact that they also have a ritual with motes makes me believe that world might be something similar in nature to Aionios, maybe something existing in the rift world or a memory realm since we learned how important those Motes are from XCX. Would be interested in hearing other peoples theories!

Xenoblade Genesis SPOILERS Xenoblade Genesis will probably be connected but I don’t think its gonna be as connected as people think Spoiler
galleryI think the hardcore community obsession with connection has really frustrated me and while I do get that when the last two new pieces of content were future redeemed and Chapter 13.Idk why people think Takahashi or Nintendo is lying.The one time Takahashi lied was lying by omission, the fact they are pretty direct with saying this a new starting point and a brand new saga has me believe it way more.I also think Takahashi has proven that he is more interested in mainstream appeal 3 plus Xde sold less than 1, 2 showing that the connective tissue isn’t really that big of a selling point. i think the way to get back to that is for this game to be of the level of xenoblade 1 connection rather than 2 or 3.At most I do believe the game could be set in the same universe as Klaus but would follow off the radio and spaceships thats left the planet.Dmitri Yuriev could be the main villain or something lmao.Maybe Logos could appear but I mean that would probably be a more Zohar function than actually being Malos again lol.The way I see it there is no way Genesis will be as overtly connected just from a business standpoint and how they left things off I think the best comparison I would have is I think the games will move more to an Shin megami Tensei level of connection or even persona with references maybe some through-line but nothing really integral for peoples enjoyment.

The original names sound so much better than the English version but that’s doesn’t mean I don’t like the English name very much either the Japanese names rolls off the tongue easier to say and feel like they impact the story more than the English ones don’t get me wrong. The English names are cool, but. They don’t sound nice intimidated.
Just my opinion I wanna know yours
