Following its appearance in the Nintendo Spotlight presentation at E3, the official Japanese Xenoblade Chronicles 2 website opened. Even if you don’t know a lick of Japanese, it’s worth visiting since it contains four pieces of music from the game.
The page also introduces the world’s concept, some of the terms and characters used in the game. You can find a full translation of that below.
‘Arst’, world concealed by an ocean of clouds
There are numerous creatures living within the cloud ocean, this especially enormous creature is called a “Titan”
(Ars).
Humans have created a settlement on top of Ars.* Note: Nintendo Treehouse used the term “Titan” for the giant creatures in the game.
‘Blade’
A variant life-form born when a human touches a core crystal.
Blade are born along with a weapon, dedicating their existence to the human that created them and growing alongside them. They’re cleaving a path through the conflict.
