Xenoblade Chronicles 3 content

The developers of Xenoblade Chronicles 3 have weighed in on the huge amount of content that the RPG offers. Monolith Soft’s Tetsuya Takahashi and Koh Kojima, along with Nintendo’s Genki Yokota, weighed in on the topic.

Yokota said at one point that “the amount of content exceeds that of the first and second titles.” Additionally, Kojima mentioned that “the total walkable area in this game is over five times larger than in the second title.”
