The Xenoblade universe is one that’s known for its huge worlds and colossal sense of scale. Images of titanic figures and weapons as tall as skyscrapers have plastered pieces of box art and captured our imaginations, and the premise of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is no less lofty.
Xeno fans rejoice! The six-part saga has finally been told!
Xenogears was originally supposed to be a six part series, but Squaresoft cut the budget for the first game and canceled future plans. Xenosaga, published by Bandai Namco, was its spritual successor, and it too was supposed to be a six part series but was cut to a trilogy after subpar sales for Xenosaga 2.
Future Redeemed is by far the best DLC of the Xenoblade series, achieving its lofty goals of introducing new characters, reconnecting with older ones, and closing a narrative that Monolith Soft’s main man Tetsuya Takahashi has been trying to tell since 1998.
DualShockers Writes "Xenoblade Chronicles 2 features a wide range of characters. Amid the cast of Rex, his allies, and even his enemies, you'll find many interesting personalities throughout your playthrough. However, among all these endearing heroes and villains, few come close to being as interesting or compelling as Poppi."
