There’s a neat little reward waiting for those who complete Xenoblade Chronicles X. In today’s Japanese Twitter update, director Koh Kojima reveals that players will unlock a “fashion equipment” option in the equipment menu. This allows for the customization of your character’s visual equipment without changing stats. It’s a separate thing that isn’t tied into combat.

Kojima also mentioned in another tweet: “Also, it appears that there are users that are concerned about creating their avatar, but you’ll be fine even if you just create one quickly and begin playing, probably.” It’s thought that Kojima is indicating that a character’s look can be customized once the game begins.

We’ve known for some time that Xenoblade Chronicles X would be receiving DLC quests. With the game’s download card having surfaced in Japan, it’s been made clear that players will need to pay for at least some of these.

Nintendo and Monolith Soft haven’t said much about Xenoblade Chronicles X’s online features, but that should change later this week. A new live stream taking place on Friday will explain network features in-depth.
