Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition

Xenoblade X arranged Skell flight music Don't worry [2XDv]

February 28: Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition fans are in for another treat today as they can now listen to the new arranged version that was made for the Skell flight music, Don’t worry [2XDv].

A few days ago, we heard that you’ll be able to choose the song that plays when flying your mech. We now know what that means. Along with the original version from Wii U, there’ll be this new arranged version. Additionally, you’ll be able to listen to the arranged version without lyrics. Essentially you’re getting three options here.

One of the most appealing points of Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition for those who played it on Wii U is the inclusion of a brand new new story. It went under the radar this week, but Nintendo actually gave a bit of information about what this will cover.

We’ll be posting the overview of what Nintendo shared below. Just keep in mind that you’ll probably want to avoid reading it unless you’ve already beaten the game previously.

Hiroyuki Sawano is back on board to create new music for Xenoblade Chronicle X: Definitive Edition. That news was confirmed on social media, and more specifically, the series’ official X account.

Previews for Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition went online today, revealing new details – including support for dual audio.

That feature was not included for the original release on Wii U. However, for Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition on Nintendo Switch, Monolith Soft is including dual audio. That means English and Japanese will both be supported. Since players can switch between them via the game’s settings (as shared by HobbyConsolas), it’s something that can be easily changed.

Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition is more than just a graphical update over the Wii U version. As was previously confirmed, new content will be included – plus there are other elements like an updated UI. We even found out this week that a brand new floating continent will be available.

Nintendo has shared more details on Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition details – specifically Quick Recast, Hraesvelg, and Neil Nail (official English name TBA). These are new elements that were not included in the Wii U original. 

As for Quick Recast, this reduces the cooldown timer for Arts and can be performed with the Y button.
