Xenoblade Chronicles X director talks more about navigating the world
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 2 Comments
The world in Xenoblade Chronicles X is huge. However, there are several ways that navigation can be made easier in the game.
We’ve already seen elements like the Hopper Camera and Navigation Ball. On the Xenoblade Chronicles X Twitter account, director Koh Kojima mentioned that there’s also an auto-run feature as well as skip travel.
He said:
It appears that the Hopper Camera and Navigation Ball have been well received. For straight movement, there’s an auto-run feature and of course, there’s also the skip travel. As a developer, however, I feel conflicted because I want you to travel leisurely and enjoy the various views and the enemy placement…This is a tricky point, isn’t it.
