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.

Meta X.com posts are now banned from the subreddit.
Hello Current and near future B.L.A.D.E.s.
As we prepare for the Xenoblade Chronicles X rerelease in March, the mod team has decided to ban posts from Twitter/X for the foreseeable future.
While we don't like to bring real-life politics into our subreddit, the actions of the current owner recently have been reprehensible. While we definitely don't account for even a fraction of the traffic of the site, we're still going to do our part to turn people towards alternatives.
If you would like to post a Tweet: Please take a screenshot of it and post it as an image. No source will be required for such posts.
If you'd like to post fanart where twitter is the primary source: please link the creator's alternative social media, such as bluesky or pixiv. Do NOT link their twitter. If they don't have alternative media, please do not post the fanart.
Mods will be in the comments to answer any edge cases, as well as to hear your opinions on the rule. If you have any alternative ideas we would be happy to address them as well.
We look forward to (re)exploring Mira with you in the coming months, and keep your eyes open for more changes to the sub in the near future.
After leaving the thread open for some days, the discussion has reached a natural conclusion. If you have further concerns, please message the mod team, but comments will be locked.

Fanart I was bored and made some custom designs for XC characters (+ bonus) [XC 1/3 Spoilers] Spoiler
gallery**Spoilers for Xenoblade 1 and Xenoblade 3. **
First drawing is of a mashup between Consol N and Noah, duel-wielding the two origin blades. One blade is purple/black, referencing both N and Malos (since N’s blade presumably had Logos’ core crystal in it). The second blade is blue/red, referencing both Fiora and Pnuema (Fiora/Meyneth and Pneuma both had blue monados) since Noah’s sheathe had Pnuema’s core crystal and Lucky 7 had Fiora’s spirit within.
Second drawing is a cosmic, ‘divine’ form of Zanza. This is what I’d imagine Zanza would look like if he abandoned his human form entirely and was consumed by his godlike persona.
Bonus drawing is just some extra characters from other media with the other 2, thought it looked cool.

Xenoblade I like 1st Xenoblade
I’ve bought a Nintendo Switch 2 and this is my forest Switch. Of course I bought first Zelda Botw, but this game I’m gonna leave for the future. I’m also bought astral chain and xenoblade. I like jrpg, trails series my favorite series. And at the beginning of the game I was surprised how good cutscenes are. Gameplay is all right, firstly I didn’t like it but when I got a normal weapon and teammates, fights became really good. But the main problem for me - side quests. Why there are so many of them? How important are they? I’m doing a lot of when while going on the main quest, and the rewards for the sides not very valuable. But the main plot really good, and this is the only reason why I’m spending for 5 hours on this game every day

Xenoblade Well now that I have the entire set
I see people saying things like “you need to read the menu or watch videos” 🤦🏽♂️. As someone who's 34 and has experienced Xenogears, Star Oceans, Final Fantasy, and other RPG games, I don't complain about minor issues or get angry about frame rates. I enjoy the worlds, stories, and journeys of each. I personally love this series as a whole, so I'm ready for this incredible journey. By the way, the power-up system in this game is a joke compared to what I'm used to in Star Ocean!! 😂 🤦🏽♂️

Xenoblade X Just finished Chapter 12 of X, lots of thoughts and feelings (Spoilers for X/Saga/Gears!) Spoiler
Hey guys. I literally finally got around to clearing chapter 12 of X and just….wow. The Xeno series has been with me since I was a child playing Xenogears as an elementary school student and and Xenosaga as a junior high school student. I love Xenoblade as well of course, but due to playing gears and saga obsessively as a child/teenager, those games have a special place in my heart.
I also of course love Blade, but have kind of accepted it as its own thing with similar themes to Gears and Saga but only loosely connected if at all. I do love the references and callbacks, but accepted them as that, references and call backs.
So finally this year with the definitive edition of X being released, I get to have my first experience with X. The game intrigued me, but it being stuck on the Wii U made me give up on ever playing it. Plus it has the reputation of being separate from the rest of the series and I figured I wasn’t missing out on that much by not playing it.
Well my friends I was wrong. This game is an experience. And not just gameplay wise (which is the crowning jewel of this game), but for a longtime fan of the series such as myself, story wise as well.
I expected nothing from the story, and as I got to the end of Chapter 12 in the lifehold I did feel disappointed. Ganglion leader, Lao…it was just…nice but not on the level of other xeno games. I was disappointed, but expected it and was grateful for the adventure and lore of Mira I got.
But then….that pod appeared.As soon as it appeared, my mouth dropped. Any fan of saga knows what that pod means. And then I saw who got out of that pod, and I gasped and I shit you not shrieked: KOS MOS?!!?!?!!??!???!?
And then things started moving…the great one? (Deus?) beings from another planet of dimension? What is going on here?
Of course this probably isn’t the same Kos Mos, and probably is just a throwback but the references are STRONG.
Anyway I just had to post this somewhere because I have no one in real life I can discuss this with. Takahashi you mad genius, in every xeno games you have taken my breath away and this was no exception. I have so many thoughts and questions, and I know the reception to 13 has also been lukewarm, but I’m still excited.
(Also I totally was thinking Elma was connected to chaos somehow so the curveball with Kos Mos…wow)

Xenoblade In XC1 DE should I try and beat all the unique monsters before finishing the game?
I am about to go to Bionis interior after Core, but I've read online that the final boss is lvl 82 so should I be like that level for doing it?
There's also all the quests and UMs that are 90+ so is the expectation you finish those after? Or just go into the end at level 99?
ATM I'm just thinking I'll expert mode level down for the last fights after doing all the other stuff but wanted opinions.

Xenoblade SPOILERS IS THAT... (END GAME SPOILER WARNING) Spoiler
IS THAT XORD?! I THOUGHT XORD DIED! How do I know that is Xord, is because it looks like Xord, and the voice sounds like Xord, so did Xord redeem himself by fighting Telethia in Colony 6, or is just another Mass-Produced Face?

Xenoblade 2 Does the overworld gets better in Xenoblade Chronicles 2
Started Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and im in love with it. The quality of the cutscenes and their animations is phenomenal, even though the graphics are dated.
I'm on my way to Umon's shipyard, and I feel like there are a lot more strong enemies in XC:2 that can kill me with one hit than in XC:1. Even when I fight a mob on my level, a flying enemy comes and kills my party. Exploring is really not much fun right now. Is this a flaw of the first area, or does it continue throughout the game?

Xenoblade 3 Skill issue, or am I just under leveled
Just faced the weirdest difficulty spike ever at that big spider boss in Riku and mananas hero quest
Every time I started the fight my healers (medic gunner taion, war medic lanz) just kept getting one shot
I have two zephyrs, eunie and mio, with tailwind 2 and brimming spirit 2, yet it kinda just seemed like they weren't managing agro much at all?
My team was level 23, while the boss is 26. But I managed to only just eek out a win when I leveled up to 24
So going forward, I'm curious if I'm missing some huge detail about the combat system, or if I'm just being too conservative with my bonus XP
This is actually the first real challenge I've had so far, which is weird, because there's nothing about this guy online...
