Today’s Xenoblade Chronicles X Twitter update introduces another two designers working on the Wii U RPG.
First up is Yoko Tsukamoto. Director Tetsuya Takahashi, who published the tweets, says that by mentioning Tsukamoto’s name, fans will understand that the world isn’t just made up of sci-fi elements. That’s because Tsukamoto is a well-known fantasy illustrator.
Takahashi additionally introduces Takashi Kojo, an enemy designer. The highlight of Kojo’s designs will be huge enemies. He’s also working on designing the strongest unique enemy in the game and the Growth Soldiers.
