Xenoblade Chronicles 2 takes place in the world of Alrest, where the population has taken refuge on giant beings known as Titans. Now, the sequel is looking to go back to its roots and channel some of what made the series great in the first place. Its follow-up, Xenoblade Chronicles X, while still a good game, went in a more offline MMO-like direction, losing a lot of the heart and soul of the original along the way. It was a massive RPG whose scope rivalled that of other popular games of the time. The original Xenoblade Chronicles was a game that came out on the Nintendo Wii and defied all expectations of what that little system could handle.
