Topic: Xenoblade Chronicles 2

Dude how have you finished already, no sleep since Friday? 🤣
This is my first Xenoblade game, so I’m going to finish it before playing the first one, but I’m going to go back and play the others, kinda like Star Wars aren’t released in order.

@Knighty_IX Congratulations! I'm really enjoying it so far. I'm in Chapter 5.

I do have a few questions for you, including one regarding a huge, massive, earth-shattering spoiler I, to my dismay, discovered while hunting for general information on the interwebs. What's the deal with Nia being a Blade? Can you elaborate on what happens after she is bonded to Rex? I'm referring to how the Blades bonded to her are handled. Anything else in terms of gameplay elements you think worth sharing would be greatly appreciated. I don't want story details, though if you can list the chapter it happens in I could plan around it, especially if there's a chance you lose the Blades bonded to her. Finally, is there a NG+ mode? If you made it this far, thanks for your time.

Is Xenoblade Chronicles 2 a safe entry point for new comers? Not played the first game or XCX.

@Fight_Teza_Fight: Yes

@Knighty_IX That's a wonderful mechanic. I was worried I'd lose a valued party member. Zeke and Morag don't really appeal to me. The lack of a NG+ mode is disappointing, though. Thanks again.

@Chandlero Thanks. Will be my next Switch purchase, once I'm done with Zelda. Hopefully they bring the first game over.
I want to keep my Switch well fed with games.

This is what I'm saying for the last 9 months Therefore, new games have still to wait

@Chandlero you bought a switch at release and have been playing nothing but zelda ever since? LOLL

@Inertiacreep: To be honest, I personally don't have a Switch but that is point: I will buy one when I finished my WiiU backlog. And Zelda pushed this way into the future...

I will probably pick this up over Christmas/New Year at some point, but was just wondering how much memory the physical version takes up?

Now that I have L. A Noire I only have 9GB of Switch memory left.

Thank you in advance

@GuruOfGreatness We have a great thread for this questions: https://www.nintendolife.com/forums/nintendo-switch/nintendo_s...

The game size is about 13GB (not including DLC). So you need an SD card, if you go digitally.

@Fight_Teza_Fight Yep, first Xenoblade game I’ve played and loving it😆

@Chandlero He said physical, not digital. Physical is on just the cart no download necessary, not including patches and DLC obviously.

I'm so glad Nintendo released this game and not EA. Imagine if they tried charging real money for core crystals... I mean, the mechanic has lootbox written all over it. Micro-transactions would have ruined this game.

For anyone done with chapter 5 I was hoping for some advice The fight against Zeke in chapter 5, I cant seem to beat him. Rex, Nia and Tora are all a couple levels above him. but I cant seem to beat him. im even using a blade he is weak against with no luck. this is the first boss ive really had an issue with. any help would be very appreciated.

@Hughesy You are right. Sorry, I misread this since he asked about the memory space.. But of course, LA Noire is the problem in such questions..

@Chandlero Haha indeed it is.

@Ralizah Oh man just thinking about that is painful😰

This is one game I would have dropped another $60 on trying to get all the rare blades. I never spend money on micro transactions (well, almost never) but this game would've sucked my wallet dry for sure. And it would've pissed me off dropping $10 and not getting KOS-MOS, dropping another $20 and still not getting KOS-MOS.

@JaxonH
"And it would've pissed me off dropping $10 and not getting KOS-MOS, dropping another $20 and still not getting KOS-MOS."
What was that about ?
Was that about getting KOSMOS ?
$10 , $20 Real Money ?

You guys are straight from hell embracing microtransactions. Access to an abundance of money is really burning a hole into brains. I advise you to visit an exorcist priest.
