Frequently Asked Questions

What is it about?

This game is Xenoblade 2's prequel. It takes place "500 years in the past." There are quotes around that last statement because the game technically takes place 1500+ years in the future if you think about it. The game focuses on Lora and the gang in their battles against Malos, whose goal is to destroy the world.

So this is a prequel to Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Does the order in which you play the games matter?

It doesn't really matter, but some of the events in this game will probably have a greater impact on you if you play Xenoblade 2 first.

Do you know why Malos wants to destroy the world?

Yeah, but if I talk about it now it would be too spoilery.

Will this game make me cry?

Maybe. If you're a sissy like me then definitely.

What are Drivers and Blades?

Blades are basically sentient weapons. They are linked to a Driver who creates and summons them by resonating with a Core Crystal. Blades grant weapons and power to their Driver. Each Blade plays a different role, owning different stats and an elemental type. There are also special Blades known as Aegises. All you need to know about them is that they're more powerful than normal Blades. And that they're special, obviously.
