A small update on equipment in Xenoblade Chronicles X
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 2 Comments
Yet another Twitter update has landed on the Japanese Xenoblade Chronicles X Twitter account. This time around, we get to hear a tiny bit more about equipment.
Director Koh Kojima says that equipping things is mostly the same as in the original Xenoblade Chronicles – head, torso, legs, and feet. However, there is now separate equipment for your left and right arms. Kojima ends his messages by saying there’s more reflected in cut-scenes compared to the first Xenoblade Chronicles, and that’s great for players.

Monolith Soft shared a bit more about off-TV play in Xenoblade Chronicles X in a series of posts shared on Twitter today.
Off-TV play came about, at least partially, because of requests from overseas fans. Director Koh Kojima was initially uncertain whether or not off-TV play would work as intended due to the sheer amount of information displayed on the screen during battles. Thankfully, things turned out okay, so the feature was implemented.
