Audio shouldn’t be an issue when playing through Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Those with early access to the game have confirmed that Monolith Soft has included a plethora of volume options. Players can modify the volume for cut-scene voices, game background music, game sound effects, game voices, battle narration, environment volume, and system volume.

It’s worth pointing out these options since the audio in Xenoblade Chronicles X was a common complaint. The Wii U RPG didn’t offer much in the way of tuning volume to your liking. This was an issue throughout the game. As one example, music during cut-scenes sometimes made it difficult to hear what characters were saying.

Nintendo and Monolith Soft has kicked off a new “Production Notes” series of features for Xenoblade Chronicles 2. The first entry published in English today is dedicated to the story.

Takeda also says that Xenoblade Chronicles 2’s story has Takahashi’s most flair to date.

Below is the full piece from Takeda:
