Xenoblade Chronicles X Welcome Back, Conner side quest guide
Posted on 2 weeks ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
For those playing Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition, we have a new guide up for the Welcome Back, Conner side quest.
In the game, the story progress is tied to your survey rate, which you can increase by placing probes and completing side quests. The Welcome Back, Conner side quest is for the most part just as straightforward as the other early-game side quests. You’ll find an NPC in Primordia (we finished this quest in Chapter 3) who asks you to find a missing BLADE team member. By this point, you may have the Follow Ball item that clearly shows you where to go, so you’ll want to follow that trail for the most part until you find the missing member on a cliff. Where this quest gets a bit tricky is the next part – you need to retrieve a comms device that’s surrounded by very high-level enemies.

Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition has a hidden 60 FPS mode, not fully functional
Posted on 2 weeks ago by Cristopher Peralta in News, Switch | 0 comments
Modder Masagratordev on X has noticed that in Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition, the game’s executable has a hidden mode allowing it to reach 60 frames per second. However, it seems that it doesn’t seem to work in full. Players are not able to access it currently – whether Monolith Soft abandoned it during development or plans to revisit it later remains to be seen.
Masagratordev dug through the code, which is where the discovery was made. Apparently having it enabled “causes weird issues”.
