The latest Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Twitter update is about the “Button Challenge” system. When a Blade performs a special move, pressing the correct buttons shown on screen will increase the power of that move. There’s also a narrator who gives comments based on the success of your button presses. Check out the video in the tweet below that shows the system in action:

ブレイドが必殺技を繰り出すと、「ボタンチャレンジ」が発生しますも。タイミング良くボタンを押せばダメージがアップ！
しかも成功すると、どこかから聞こえるナゾのナレーション（ボイス：利根健太朗さん）に、めちゃくちゃほめてもらえますも。悪い気はしないはずですも。 pic.twitter.com/1caaPMyOxc
