The Epic Scale of Xenoblade Chronicles

A Mountain of Scripts

Monolith Soft's X (formerly Twitter) post revealed towering stacks of script books—and these only represent the main storyline! Separate scripts exist for side quests, highlighting the sheer volume of work invested in each Xenoblade Chronicles title.

The JRPG series is renowned for its expansive scope, encompassing intricate plots, extensive dialogue, vast worlds, and considerable playtime. Completing a single game often demands 70+ hours, excluding optional content. Dedicated players have even reported exceeding 150 hours to achieve full completion.

The post's comments section erupted with fan reactions, ranging from awe at the sheer number of scripts to humorous inquiries about potential script book sales.
