Xenoblade Chronicles Massive Stacks of Scripts Give Glimpse of How Much Content There Was

A recent social media post from Monolith Soft, the creators of Xenoblade Chronicles, showcased the game's staggering amount of script materials. The sheer volume of documents offers a striking visual representation of the immense effort involved in developing the game. Let's delve into the details.

The Scale of Xenoblade Chronicles

A Mountain of Scripts

Monolith Soft's X (formerly Twitter) post featured towering stacks of scripts—a testament to the game's expansive narrative. Importantly, the image only depicts the scripts for the main storyline; side quests require additional, separate scripts. This highlights the truly massive undertaking that goes into creating a Xenoblade Chronicles game.

The Xenoblade Chronicles series is renowned for its substantial scope, encompassing a sprawling plot, extensive dialogue, a vast world, and considerable playtime. Completing a single game typically takes at least 70 hours, excluding side quests and optional content. Dedicated players have even reported playthroughs exceeding 150 hours to achieve 100% completion.

The post sparked enthusiastic reactions from fans, many expressing astonishment at the sheer number of script books. Comments ranged from expressions of awe ("so awesome!") to humorous requests to purchase the scripts for personal collections.

Looking Ahead

While Monolith Soft hasn't yet revealed details about the next installment in the series, a significant development is the upcoming release of Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition on March 20th, 2025, for Nintendo Switch. Available for pre-order now on the Nintendo eShop (digital or physical), this definitive edition is priced at $59.99 USD.
