Xenoblade Chronicles X director Koh Kojima has once again taken to the game’s Japanese Twitter account to share additional information. Kojima shared a few more details regarding Squads and Unions.
Here’s the latest:
Two more bits of information relating to the ‘Doll/Network’ video presentation. You can join Squads once you’ve reached a certain point in the game. You can choose from Solo Play and Multi-Play. You can also join Squads that your friends are in.
While online, the Player can change the Union they belong to by paying a set fee (using in-game currency). You can be calculating and switch to a Union with good results or you can help raise the rank of the Union you’re already in.
The Union you belong to affects the contents of the Union Salary, which you receive once per day, (which can include repair tickets [possible that they mean ‘coupons’] for Dolls that have exceed their insurance limit) so it’s a good idea to try various ones out.
Xenoblade Chronicles X launches in Japan on April 29. It should be out later this year in North America and Europe.

Last week, Pokémon Shuffle players were given a challenge to take on Mega Blastoise in a special one minute event to compete for a spot on the rank list for their region for a chance at a Blastoisinite that can’t be acquired by normal means, similar to what was done with Lucario a few weeks before that.
Now when you check in, if you were one of 10,000 in Europe, 20,000 in North America, or 50,000 in Japan, you will be awarded your Blastoisinite!
For those that didn’t rank but still partook in the challenge, you’ll be given a Jewel as a reward for trying.
Did you happen to be one of the top players in your region to receive a Mega Stone for Blastoise? Lets us know!
