Monolith Soft, the creative force behind the acclaimed Xenoblade Chronicles series, recently unveiled a staggering visual testament to the sheer scale of their work: a mountain of scripts. This impressive display, shared on X (formerly Twitter), showcases only the main storyline scripts—a separate mountain of scripts exists for the game's extensive side quests.
The Immense Scope of Xenoblade Chronicles
A Sea of Scripts
The image speaks volumes about the dedication poured into the Xenoblade Chronicles games. Known for their expansive narratives, richly detailed worlds, and substantial gameplay, these JRPGs demand a significant time commitment. Players routinely report playthroughs exceeding 70 hours, a figure that easily balloons to 150 hours or more for completionists tackling all side content.
The social media post sparked a flurry of reactions from fans, many expressing astonishment at the sheer volume of scripts. While some lauded the impressive feat, others playfully inquired about the possibility of purchasing these script books for their personal collections.
Looking Ahead to the Future of Xenoblade Chronicles
While Monolith Soft remains tight-lipped about the next installment in the franchise, excitement is building for the upcoming release of Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition, slated for March 20th, 2025, on Nintendo Switch. Pre-orders are open now on the Nintendo eShop, offering both digital and physical copies at $59.99 USD.
