Xenoblade Chronicles X website update: DLC & online
Posted on 9 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Wii U | 23 Comments
A new update was published on the official Japanese website for Xenoblade Chronicles X, which details some of the game’s downloadable content and online features.
The main draw of the DLC are the new characters – “HB”, “Boze”, “Ierv” and “Aksena”. They each come with their own DLC pack priced at 500 yen, containing the character and three missions. Finishing those missions allows you to add that character, who comes with two unique Artes, to your party. Three of those DLC packs award you with a blueprint for a new Skell, while the other one gives you a blueprint for a new type of weapon.
In addition, there are three more DLC packs containing missions that make it easier to level your characters, earn money and improve their relationships. These are priced at 300 yen each.
Finally, you can buy all of those DLC packs together for 2,000 yen instead of buying them all individually for 2,900 yen.
Check out screenshots of the DLC characters and more in the gallery below!

Xenoblade Chronicles X executive director on HD development and more
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 4 Comments
Xenoblade Chronicles X is finally coming to Japan next week. With the game’s release so close, Joshin Web was able to ask director Tetsuya Takahashi about the Wii U game. We’ve now translated a few notable quotes.
One question has Takahashi being asked about Xenoblade Chronicles X’s development. In turn, he discusses the challenges working on an HD title for the first time.
He said:
An open world is a single phrase, but it wasn’t a simple thing to realize. As you know, it was our first HD title. The environment for development was drastically different compared to anything we had done before when it comes to distributing resources or formulating workloads. You can’t expect things to get done in a day and it finally took form as a result of many adjustments. There were many hardships, but it was worth the trouble as the gameplay turned out to be pleasant, even if I say so myself!
