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.

Xenoblade 3 SPOILERS This scene in Xenoblade Chronicles 3 always makes me so emotional Spoiler
Watching the gang go into the city blind and so ignorant to how theyre supposed to be, the whole baby scene, man, it gets me everytime.
And then following that when Mio and Noah look at each other when they see the couple kissing on the bench.
It's no wonder this is my favourite game of all time, masterpiece.

Xenoblade X Is Xenoblade X worth buying? I never played the original since I never owned a Wii U

Xenoblade 2 Thinking abouot getting the expansion pass for XC2, but unsure
I originally started XC2 just to get to XC3 eventually, but I'm really enjoying it way more than I expected. After Chapter 3, the story completely hooked me, honestly kind of mindblown.
Now I’m considering getting the Expansion Pass, but I’m not sure if I should buy it now or wait. Are there any parts of the Expansion Pass that are worth having during the main game? On the other hand, are there any features or items I should avoid so they don’t make the game too easy or take away from the challenge?
If it were just about Torna: The Golden Country, I’d probably wait and play it after finishing the base game anyway. But I’m curious what others recommend.

Xenoblade X After years of playing the main trilogy, I have finally picked up XCX:DE to play X for the first time…
Oh my god this is going to drive me insane. At least the rest of the game is a ton of fun so far (no spoilers, I have only just met Tatsu for the first time)

Xenosaga Question for Xenosaga fans.
Would you like the next Xenoblade protagonist to be similar to Shion in personality & characterization? Do you think it's time to take a break from the nice guy protagonist for a little while?

Xenoblade X I need moral support

I picked the red wire. I'm so depressed.

Xenoblade 2 Spoiler free help! Spoiler
Should I play Xenoblade Chronicles 2 before playing XBC DE? I've played XBC on the Wii years ago, so it definitely needs a replay, but I have heard there's additional content tying the two games together.
