The Xenoblade series has been ambitious since the release of the first game in the series in 2010. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Review: The Switch is a Great Strength and Weakness You never get stuck in one place too long to get bored, and there’s enough side quests and opportunities for exploration that you get a break from the plot when you need it. I never found the journey of Rex the Scavenger and main protagonist, and the Aegis Blade Pyra to get old.
The story manages to avoid many JRPG cliches while embracing others. Her quest is to return to the birthplace of Titans, Blade, and humanity: the land of Elysium that legend says is at the top of the mysterious World Tree. One of these, the Aegis, is a core component in the story. While Blades are numerous, there are a specific rare few that have enough power to wipe out a Titan or even the whole world. Called Blades, these sentient living weapons are used by humans called Drivers to enhance natural human strength. The weapons humanity uses to fight are mysteriously connected with the Titans. This is starting to cause competition for resources, and a series of wars have been fought in the decades proceeding the game over this. As more large Titans die, the less land there is for humans to live on. When the game opens, something is causing the Titans to die out slowly. Without the Titans, humanity is doomed to extinction.
As for the smaller Titans are used primarily as transportation and many human conveyances are built around the bodies of Titans.
These massive creatures are so big they have their own flora and fauna, so mountain ranges, trees, and grass are all part of the makeup of the Titan’s physiology.
Titans can be as small as a bus or as large as a continent, and humanity lives both on and inside of the larger ones in a type of symbiotic relationship. The entirety of the planet is covered in a dense cloud sea in which dwell creatures called Titans. The way you fight is heavily integrated into the plot as well. Instead, it takes the core gameplay systems from those two games and adds some exciting new features that make the whole thing feel fresh and familiar at the same time. This game isn’t a continuation of either Xenoblade Chronicles or Xenoblade Chronicles X.
