Summary
- Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition introduces unique elements like Monado hairclips and unconventional Blade interpretations.
- The game maintains combat fundamentals from the original Xenoblade, along with real-time Arts cooldown and distinctive Skell designs.
- The addition of new character options like hairstyles from other Xenoblade games enhances customization, along with familiar voice options.
While Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition may be the most unheard of entry in the series, it is also tꦍhe most experimental by a long shot. It is packed with new ideas that you would rarely see elsewhere, let alone in the rest of the Xenoblade series. This makes it like no other game out there, but it hasn't forgotten where it comes from, either.
Xenoblade Chron﷽icles X: Definitive Edition - How To Get A Skell
Here's how to get a ಌSkeওll in Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition!
In this massive open world, there are countless little details that you can easily miss, from lines of dialogue referencing other games, to mechanics directly lifted and rep🍨urposed. It's great to find all these for yourself, but here are some of the best that we could find for you to admire.
8 Lin's Monado Hairclip
Xenoblade Chronicles X is, for the most🗹 part, disconnected from the rest of the series. It has references here and there, but nothing so connective as the three numbered entries. Which means when you see something directly from those other games, you can see it🌸 as a humourous addition rather than some grand hint.
And Lin having Monado hairclips is one of the funniest. It is never mentioned, nor does an explicit 'xenoblade' exist in this entry at all. She just has a Monado hairclip, a fashion accessory with 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:no fate-alteဣring properties whatsoever. And it is very fashionable.
In the original Xenoblade Chronicles X🧸, Lin actually had two Monado hairclips. She must have lost onꩵe.
7 The Meaning Of Blade ♛
Coming from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 back to X might give you whiplash, with Blades existing here as well, but in a dramatically different sense. Their very existence could be s💝een as a reference to Xenoblade Chronicles 2, or vice versa in reality. Of course, the references within Blade d♚on't stop there. It is an acronym, after all.
When speaking with Nagi, he explains that Blade stands for 'Builders of a Legacy After the Destruction of Earth'. Nice 🔴and direct. Except in Japanese, it is entirely different. 'Beyond the Logos Artificial Destiny Emancipator'. Much less direct, but one that references the themes of the greater series, such as literally defying god.
Did you know ♔the b♛iblical Jesus appears in the Xenosaga games? Beyond the Logos, indeed.
6 ꦯ Xenobl🍌ade Arts
Every Xenoblade game changes 😼some fundamentals of the combat system, though X has more in common with the original Xenoblade's combat system than i💝t does with any of its successors. This includes real-time Arts cooldown, attacking while moving, and plenty more. However, many of the Arts themselves are directly from the original as well.
It is hard not to hear Reyn's voice every time a character uses Wild Down, or to channel Dunban each time Blossom Dance is used. Many of these Arts even carry over their exact effects, such as WIld Down inflicting Topple and being useꦜd with a ⛦Shield.
5 🌸 🤪 Gundam Mech Designer
Of the many aspects that Make Xenoblade Chronicles X stand out from the rest of the series, its mechs are some of the most notable. Known as Skells, they uti🍒lise an entirely unique combat system that is much more free-form but costly than combat on foot. And while they may already seem like a strong reference to the Mechon, their design influence goes even deeper.

Many of tജhe important Skells are created by specific designers, but the general Skells are designed by Takayuki Yanase, who is most well-known for their work on Gundam. So if you ever thought the Skells had more than a passing resemblance to Gundams, now you know wh🔯y.
4 Neilnail's Original Appearance
Xenoblade Chronicles X has 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:quite a la𝐆rge cast of playable characters, far more than any other entry in the series. That works for the more individual stories the game focuses on, and also means it is very easy to expand that roster. And so it does with four brand-new playable characters, with Neilnail as one of the m🐠ost notable.
But why is Neilnail so notable? Because this isn't actually her first appearance in the game. Back in the original game, there were two myster💃ious Skells that had the name 'Neilnail' attached to them. Even more, concept art of Neilnail appeared in the original game's artbook. Her appearance in the Definitive Edition is just the firts time she's actually been in the game itself.
3 ♓ 🀅 New Hairstyles
Where every other game in the series has a pre-set character through which it tells its story, Xenoblade Chronicles X puts a greater emphasis on your companions than your own place in the story, and 🍷so you become somewhat supplmentary, giving you the freedom to make your character look and act however you want.
10♋ Video Game Series We Wish Had A Character Creator 🧜
Move🐼 over, Link. Hylia said it's our turn with the💟 triforce.
In the Definitive Edition, a🐷 few more options were added to the character creator to introduce some iconic looks that didn't exist at the time. This includes Pyra, Mythra and Nia's hairstyles, and even Malos' if you want to give ไyour character a touch of villainy.
Unusually though, Xenoblade Chronicles X ties the hairstyle op🌞tions to the face preset you choose, so make sure to look through them all to find the h🍒airstyles you like.
2 Shulk And Fiora's Voices
Your own character has a fairly small role in the story, which is why you can make them look however you want. However, despite them being silent in every cutscene in the game, you can still choose a voice for them for when they call out their Soul Voices and variou💜s other combat barks.
There are ꦰa few options to choose fro♒m, though the Classic options might sounds a bit familiar. Adam Howden and Carina Reeves are the respective voice actors for Shulk and Fiora. So if you wanted a little bit of the very first Xenoblade in this game, this is how.
1 ꦕ Another Territorial Monster
There are many things you can count on in a Xenoblade game. Compe🃏lling characters, a story centered around philosophical themes and acceptance, combat system that refuse to fully explain themselves, and enemies that are hilariously overlevelled in early areas. This tradi♉tion continues in Xenoblade Chronicles X in more ways than one.
Every game in the series has 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:a giant monkey for you to battle that appears near the earliest areas of the game, and is an obscenely high level. X doesn't share enemies with the other games, though when you see a gian🌃t Simius Tyrant strolling the 🦂beaches of Primordia, it's a bit obvious just who exactly it's referencing.
