So, definitive edition for Xenolade 2. So, definitive edition for Xenolade 2. So, let me know down below what you think let me know down below what you think let me know down below what you think and how what you feel an upgrade for and how what you feel an upgrade for and how what you feel an upgrade for Xenolade 2 would look like in this Xenolade 2 would look like in this Xenolade 2 would look like in this coming Nintendo Switch 2 generation. So, coming Nintendo Switch 2 generation. So, coming Nintendo Switch 2 generation. So, before we continue, I just want to kind before we continue, I just want to kind before we continue, I just want to kind of elaborate and kind of remind you guys of elaborate and kind of remind you guys of elaborate and kind of remind you guys what Switch 2 editions are because what Switch 2 editions are because what Switch 2 editions are because they're not exactly the same as what they're not exactly the same as what they're not exactly the same as what other companies have been doing for other companies have been doing for other companies have been doing for crossgenerational titles and games. So, crossgenerational titles and games. So, crossgenerational titles and games. So, Switch 2 editions are sort of like Switch 2 editions are sort of like Switch 2 editions are sort of like crossgen versions of games, but they crossgen versions of games, but they crossgen versions of games, but they have significant improvements on the have significant improvements on the have significant improvements on the Nintendo Switch 2, and they're also Nintendo Switch 2, and they're also Nintendo Switch 2, and they're also going to be available on the Nintendo going to be available on the Nintendo going to be available on the Nintendo Switch one. And usually, these Switch 2 Switch one. And usually, these Switch 2 Switch one. And usually, these Switch 2 editions are for games that are

editions are for games that are editions are for games that are primarily Switch One games, like Breath primarily Switch One games, like Breath primarily Switch One games, like Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom were already released on Switch One. were already released on Switch One. were already released on Switch One. Metroid Prime 4 is primarily a Switch Metroid Prime 4 is primarily a Switch Metroid Prime 4 is primarily a Switch One game. It was always marketed as a One game. It was always marketed as a One game. It was always marketed as a Switch One game. And even now, I think Switch One game. And even now, I think Switch One game. And even now, I think in the trailers, it's still going to in the trailers, it's still going to in the trailers, it's still going to have that Nintendo Switch one snap have that Nintendo Switch one snap have that Nintendo Switch one snap instead of the Switch 2 snap. Even instead of the Switch 2 snap. Even instead of the Switch 2 snap. Even Pokemon Legends Z8, like it was Pokemon Legends Z8, like it was Pokemon Legends Z8, like it was originally marketed as a Switch One originally marketed as a Switch One originally marketed as a Switch One game. These Switch 2 editions are just game. These Switch 2 editions are just game. These Switch 2 editions are just like upgrades that you can get for your like upgrades that you can get for your like upgrades that you can get for your Switch 2 to make them run better. Uh Switch 2 to make them run better. Uh Switch 2 to make them run better. Uh adding more DLC or additional new adding more DLC or additional new adding more DLC or additional new content. As we see in games like Mario content. As we see in games like Mario content. As we see in games like Mario Party Jamberee or Kirby in the Forgotten Party Jamberee or Kirby in the Forgotten Party Jamberee or Kirby in the Forgotten Land, we're getting significantly new Land, we're getting significantly new Land, we're getting significantly new add-ons to these games. not only just add-ons to these games. not only just add-ons to these games. not only just the frame rate and resolution bump and the frame rate and resolution bump and the frame rate and resolution bump and we see that even with Breath of the Wild we see that even with Breath of the Wild we see that even with Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom with the Zelda and Tears of the Kingdom with the Zelda and Tears of the Kingdom with the Zelda notes which you can do with the mobile notes which you can do with the mobile notes which you can do with the mobile app. So, I'm kind of envisioning in my app. So, I'm kind of envisioning in my app. So, I'm kind of envisioning in my mind if Xenolade Chronicles 2 gets mind if Xenolade Chronicles 2 gets mind if Xenolade Chronicles 2 gets something like this, it's probably not something like this, it's probably not something like this, it's probably not going to be as simple as a frame rate going to be as simple as a frame rate going to be as simple as a frame rate and resolution bump because the only and resolution bump because the only and resolution bump because the only Nintendo Switch 2 edition we've seen so Nintendo Switch 2 edition we've seen so Nintendo Switch 2 edition we've seen so far, which is just a simple resolution far, which is just a simple resolution far, which is just a simple resolution and frame rate bump, is Pokemon Legends and frame rate bump, is Pokemon Legends and frame rate bump, is Pokemon Legends ZA. and we'll see how good that even is ZA. and we'll see how good that even is ZA. and we'll see how good that even is judging by the track record of the judging by the track record of the judging by the track record of the Pokémon Company but and Game Freak. But Pokémon Company but and Game Freak. But Pokémon Company but and Game Freak. But we shall see. But back to what I was we shall see. But back to what I was we shall see. But back to what I was saying, Xenolade 2 could get a lot more saying, Xenolade 2 could get a lot more saying, Xenolade 2 could get a lot more done to it than just a resolution and done to it than just a resolution and done to it than just a resolution and frame rate boost. And you might be like, frame rate boost. And you might be like, frame rate boost. And you might be like, "Hey, well, Nishquake, well that's where "Hey, well, Nishquake, well that's where "Hey, well, Nishquake, well that's where a definitive edition comes in. they can a definitive edition comes in. they can a definitive edition comes in. they can come in, change a bunch of stuff to the

come in, change a bunch of stuff to the come in, change a bunch of stuff to the game, and sell it to us once again as a game, and sell it to us once again as a game, and sell it to us once again as a definitive edition like what they did definitive edition like what they did definitive edition like what they did with Xenolade 1 and Xenolade X. But I with Xenolade 1 and Xenolade X. But I with Xenolade 1 and Xenolade X. But I don't really want that. And the whole don't really want that. And the whole don't really want that. And the whole idea of me not wanting a definitive idea of me not wanting a definitive idea of me not wanting a definitive edition is because a definitive edition edition is because a definitive edition edition is because a definitive edition feels like a full-on remaster of the feels like a full-on remaster of the feels like a full-on remaster of the game. And it's not the same as a game. And it's not the same as a game. And it's not the same as a crossgenerational in between patch. And crossgenerational in between patch. And crossgenerational in between patch. And I remember back in like 2023 and 24 when I remember back in like 2023 and 24 when I remember back in like 2023 and 24 when there was rumors of that Horizon Zero there was rumors of that Horizon Zero there was rumors of that Horizon Zero Dawn remaster remake coming out. A lot Dawn remaster remake coming out. A lot Dawn remaster remake coming out. A lot of us were saying like why do we need of us were saying like why do we need of us were saying like why do we need something like this? Why do we need a something like this? Why do we need a something like this? Why do we need a remaster or remake of something that was remaster or remake of something that was remaster or remake of something that was literally just at that time I think it literally just at that time I think it literally just at that time I think it was like 5 6 7 years old. It it wasn't was like 5 6 7 years old. It it wasn't was like 5 6 7 years old. It it wasn't very old at all. And when it was very old at all. And when it was very old at all. And when it was announced, a lot of people were still announced, a lot of people were still announced, a lot of people were still saying, "Why do we need a remaster of saying, "Why do we need a remaster of saying, "Why do we need a remaster of this game? It already looked good on the this game? It already looked good on the this game? It already looked good on the PS4. Why do we need it again on the PS4. Why do we need it again on the PS4. Why do we need it again on the PS5?" And it was a simple upgrade and PS5?" And it was a simple upgrade and PS5?" And it was a simple upgrade and everything, but it just felt a little everything, but it just felt a little everything, but it just felt a little unnecessary. One other example I can unnecessary. One other example I can unnecessary. One other example I can think of that felt a little more think of that felt a little more think of that felt a little more egregious and vastly more unnecessary egregious and vastly more unnecessary egregious and vastly more unnecessary was The Last of Us Part One. This is was The Last of Us Part One. This is was The Last of Us Part One. This is nothing against those games or anything, nothing against those games or anything, nothing against those games or anything, but it just felt weird that a game which but it just felt weird that a game which but it just felt weird that a game which was easily playable on the PS4 was was easily playable on the PS4 was was easily playable on the PS4 was getting a full-on remake for the PS5 getting a full-on remake for the PS5 getting a full-on remake for the PS5 with very minimal slight upgrades and with very minimal slight upgrades and with very minimal slight upgrades and the visuals and all that. And the whole the visuals and all that. And the whole the visuals and all that. And the whole point I'm bringing up for these kinds of point I'm bringing up for these kinds of point I'm bringing up for these kinds of games is I don't want to have to

games is I don't want to have to games is I don't want to have to repurchase Xenolade 2. And the main repurchase Xenolade 2. And the main repurchase Xenolade 2. And the main reason is is because whenever I get my reason is is because whenever I get my reason is is because whenever I get my Switch 2, hopefully on June 5th, cuz I Switch 2, hopefully on June 5th, cuz I Switch 2, hopefully on June 5th, cuz I got it pre-ordered. Exciting. I know I got it pre-ordered. Exciting. I know I got it pre-ordered. Exciting. I know I got a pre-order, but my thing is got a pre-order, but my thing is got a pre-order, but my thing is whenever I get my Switch 2, I should be whenever I get my Switch 2, I should be whenever I get my Switch 2, I should be able to get my Xenolade 2 copy off my able to get my Xenolade 2 copy off my able to get my Xenolade 2 copy off my shelf, take out the cartridge, and put shelf, take out the cartridge, and put shelf, take out the cartridge, and put it into my Switch 2 and be able to play it into my Switch 2 and be able to play it into my Switch 2 and be able to play it. I don't want to have to get the game it. I don't want to have to get the game it. I don't want to have to get the game again, even if it's a definitive again, even if it's a definitive again, even if it's a definitive edition. It it just feels weird to have edition. It it just feels weird to have edition. It it just feels weird to have to make a completely separate version of to make a completely separate version of to make a completely separate version of a game and resell it again on literally a game and resell it again on literally a game and resell it again on literally just the next console generation just the next console generation just the next console generation following the previous one when following the previous one when following the previous one when backwards compatibility is a thing. So backwards compatibility is a thing. So backwards compatibility is a thing. So that's why I think a Switch 2 edition that's why I think a Switch 2 edition that's why I think a Switch 2 edition would be a much better alternative. Many would be a much better alternative. Many would be a much better alternative. Many of us Xenolade fans have the game of us Xenolade fans have the game of us Xenolade fans have the game already. Why should we need to reby the already. Why should we need to reby the already. Why should we need to reby the game once again? A lot of these game once again? A lot of these game once again? A lot of these definitive edition upgrades, maybe not definitive edition upgrades, maybe not definitive edition upgrades, maybe not all of them, but a good bit of them all of them, but a good bit of them all of them, but a good bit of them could be included in a Switch 2 edition. could be included in a Switch 2 edition. could be included in a Switch 2 edition. And in a Switch 2 edition, we've seen And in a Switch 2 edition, we've seen And in a Switch 2 edition, we've seen that some of these are priced at maybe that some of these are priced at maybe that some of these are priced at maybe like a range between $10 to $20. I don't like a range between $10 to $20. I don't like a range between $10 to $20. I don't don't quote me on this. I don't really don't quote me on this. I don't really don't quote me on this. I don't really remember. If I'm wrong, I'm sorry.

remember. If I'm wrong, I'm sorry. remember. If I'm wrong, I'm sorry. There's a lot of like up in the air There's a lot of like up in the air There's a lot of like up in the air stuff about Switch 2, so if I'm wrong stuff about Switch 2, so if I'm wrong stuff about Switch 2, so if I'm wrong about that, I apologize. But my point about that, I apologize. But my point about that, I apologize. But my point still stands that I would want to pay still stands that I would want to pay still stands that I would want to pay probably a smaller fee versus a full-on probably a smaller fee versus a full-on probably a smaller fee versus a full-on $70 price for a full-on new version of $70 price for a full-on new version of $70 price for a full-on new version of Xenolade 2. I don't know if you guys Xenolade 2. I don't know if you guys Xenolade 2. I don't know if you guys feel the same, but that's just how I feel the same, but that's just how I feel the same, but that's just how I personally feel. So, that covers why I personally feel. So, that covers why I personally feel. So, that covers why I don't really want a definitive edition, don't really want a definitive edition, don't really want a definitive edition, why I think a Switch 2 edition is a why I think a Switch 2 edition is a why I think a Switch 2 edition is a better alternative. But, what could they better alternative. But, what could they better alternative. But, what could they add to a Switch 2 edition of Xenolade 2? add to a Switch 2 edition of Xenolade 2? add to a Switch 2 edition of Xenolade 2? because a lot of us are like talking because a lot of us are like talking because a lot of us are like talking about what could be improved. Xenolade 2 about what could be improved. Xenolade 2 about what could be improved. Xenolade 2 is a very messy game. It was kind of is a very messy game. It was kind of is a very messy game. It was kind of rushed in many ways as we might know rushed in many ways as we might know rushed in many ways as we might know from the development history of the from the development history of the from the development history of the game. And despite it still being a game. And despite it still being a game. And despite it still being a phenomenal game, it's one of my favorite phenomenal game, it's one of my favorite phenomenal game, it's one of my favorite games of all time. There is a lot of games of all time. There is a lot of games of all time. There is a lot of room for improvement. There's a lot of room for improvement. There's a lot of room for improvement. There's a lot of things that I forgave the game because things that I forgave the game because things that I forgave the game because they were very big detrimental they were very big detrimental they were very big detrimental experiences for me. But looking back at experiences for me. But looking back at experiences for me. But looking back at it, I still love the game all in all.

it, I still love the game all in all. it, I still love the game all in all. So, what could they improve in a Switch So, what could they improve in a Switch So, what could they improve in a Switch 2 edition, which maybe may not be as big 2 edition, which maybe may not be as big 2 edition, which maybe may not be as big of a overhaul as a definitive edition? of a overhaul as a definitive edition? of a overhaul as a definitive edition? Well, like I said, Nintendo seems to be Well, like I said, Nintendo seems to be Well, like I said, Nintendo seems to be going above and beyond with some of going above and beyond with some of going above and beyond with some of these Switch 2 editions. They're not these Switch 2 editions. They're not these Switch 2 editions. They're not just simple upscale and performance just simple upscale and performance just simple upscale and performance patches, like with the Zelda notes and patches, like with the Zelda notes and patches, like with the Zelda notes and the DLC's and all that stuff. So, I the DLC's and all that stuff. So, I the DLC's and all that stuff. So, I totally think that at least cleaning up totally think that at least cleaning up totally think that at least cleaning up the UI and making sure a lot of the the UI and making sure a lot of the the UI and making sure a lot of the information is displayed a lot better. I information is displayed a lot better. I information is displayed a lot better. I think that could definitely be something think that could definitely be something think that could definitely be something that they add to a patch for the game. I that they add to a patch for the game. I that they add to a patch for the game. I don't know how crazy of an overhaul that don't know how crazy of an overhaul that don't know how crazy of an overhaul that could be, but I feel like if they are could be, but I feel like if they are could be, but I feel like if they are going above and beyond and adding like going above and beyond and adding like going above and beyond and adding like mobile device integration, I feel like mobile device integration, I feel like mobile device integration, I feel like they can go in and like just clean up they can go in and like just clean up they can go in and like just clean up the UI a lot more, especially with some the UI a lot more, especially with some the UI a lot more, especially with some of the menus. make the affinity chart a of the menus. make the affinity chart a of the menus. make the affinity chart a little less little less little less convoluted, make the battle UI a little convoluted, make the battle UI a little convoluted, make the battle UI a little more organized, and just simple things more organized, and just simple things more organized, and just simple things like that. And I do want to give a quick like that. And I do want to give a quick like that. And I do want to give a quick shout out and plug to our other channel, shout out and plug to our other channel, shout out and plug to our other channel, me and my buddy Kevin the Protagonist.

But in one of our episodes last year, we brought on of our episodes last year, we brought on of our episodes last year, we brought on our other friend Idrasil to talk about our other friend Idrasil to talk about our other friend Idrasil to talk about what could be in a Xenolade Chronicles 2 what could be in a Xenolade Chronicles 2 what could be in a Xenolade Chronicles 2 Definitive Edition. And I did mention a Definitive Edition. And I did mention a Definitive Edition. And I did mention a lot of the issues with the UI that could lot of the issues with the UI that could lot of the issues with the UI that could be cleaned up and retouched and be cleaned up and retouched and be cleaned up and retouched and redesigned for a eventual definitive redesigned for a eventual definitive redesigned for a eventual definitive edition. And I still feel like that is edition. And I still feel like that is edition. And I still feel like that is applicable and still feel like that applicable and still feel like that applicable and still feel like that could be done with a Switch 2 edition. could be done with a Switch 2 edition. could be done with a Switch 2 edition. So I'm giving a shout out to that video. So I'm giving a shout out to that video. So I'm giving a shout out to that video. I'll have it linked down in the I'll have it linked down in the I'll have it linked down in the description and you guys should description and you guys should description and you guys should definitely check that out because it's definitely check that out because it's definitely check that out because it's now relevant more than ever. And of now relevant more than ever. And of now relevant more than ever. And of course, this goes without saying, but course, this goes without saying, but course, this goes without saying, but for Switch to Edition, visuals, for Switch to Edition, visuals, for Switch to Edition, visuals, performance, that will definitely be performance, that will definitely be performance, that will definitely be significantly improved. If Monolisoft significantly improved. If Monolisoft significantly improved. If Monolisoft could pull off a game like Xenolade could pull off a game like Xenolade could pull off a game like Xenolade Chronicles 2 on Switch One hardware, I Chronicles 2 on Switch One hardware, I Chronicles 2 on Switch One hardware, I can definitely see them going 4K 60fps can definitely see them going 4K 60fps can definitely see them going 4K 60fps on the Switch 2. Breath of the Wild and on the Switch 2. Breath of the Wild and on the Switch 2. Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom seem to be running Tears of the Kingdom seem to be running Tears of the Kingdom seem to be running at 4K 60fps. So, I would hope to see at 4K 60fps. So, I would hope to see at 4K 60fps. So, I would hope to see something like that for Xenolade something like that for Xenolade something like that for Xenolade Chronicles 2 as well. I don't think Chronicles 2 as well. I don't think Chronicles 2 as well. I don't think we'll have like redone textures and new we'll have like redone textures and new we'll have like redone textures and new assets or anything like that. I think a assets or anything like that. I think a assets or anything like that. I think a nice just simple resolution increase, nice just simple resolution increase, nice just simple resolution increase, nice frame rate increase would be good nice frame rate increase would be good nice frame rate increase would be good enough. And I think with the powerful enough. And I think with the powerful enough. And I think with the powerful talent they have at Monoloft, I think talent they have at Monoloft, I think talent they have at Monoloft, I think that's definitely something that is very

that's definitely something that is very that's definitely something that is very doable. Here is something that is a doable. Here is something that is a doable. Here is something that is a little more controversial. I don't think little more controversial. I don't think little more controversial. I don't think everyone will agree with me on this and everyone will agree with me on this and everyone will agree with me on this and I am sort of iffy on it as well, but I am sort of iffy on it as well, but I am sort of iffy on it as well, but remixed tracks. I know this is very iffy remixed tracks. I know this is very iffy remixed tracks. I know this is very iffy for some people, especially me. Xenolade for some people, especially me.

If them to lay a fingernail on the OST. If them to lay a fingernail on the OST. If you look at Xenolade X Definitive you look at Xenolade X Definitive you look at Xenolade X Definitive Edition, they didn't lay a fingernail on Edition, they didn't lay a fingernail on Edition, they didn't lay a fingernail on the OST. They didn't change anything, the OST. They didn't change anything, the OST. They didn't change anything, but they added in some new remixes. Two but they added in some new remixes.

In the instance of a Xenolade 2 definitive edition, I would Xenolade 2 definitive edition, I would Xenolade 2 definitive edition, I would want them to kind of go in the direction want them to kind of go in the direction want them to kind of go in the direction of Xenolade X Definitive Edition. Maybe of Xenolade X Definitive Edition. Maybe of Xenolade X Definitive Edition. Maybe take some of the most iconic songs from take some of the most iconic songs from take some of the most iconic songs from the game and do some remixes. Don't the game and do some remixes.

You can just play around with them a You can just play around with them a You can just play around with them a little bit, but don't do a massive little bit, but don't do a massive little bit, but don't do a massive overhaul to the OST like what you guys overhaul to the OST like what you guys overhaul to the OST like what you guys did with Xenolade 1. Even though the did with Xenolade 1. Even though the did with Xenolade 1. Even though the attention to detail on the Xenolade 1 attention to detail on the Xenolade 1 attention to detail on the Xenolade 1 OS2 is very good. I will give them that. OS2 is very good. I will give them that. OS2 is very good. I will give them that. Better audio mixing and sound design Better audio mixing and sound design Better audio mixing and sound design would just be so great for this game would just be so great for this game would just be so great for this game because the sound mixing, the audio because the sound mixing, the audio because the sound mixing, the audio mixing, the the overall audio stuff with mixing, the the overall audio stuff with mixing, the the overall audio stuff with this game is kind of weird. You might be this game is kind of weird. You might be this game is kind of weird. You might be in a cut scene, a very emotional, very in a cut scene, a very emotional, very in a cut scene, a very emotional, very heart-wrenching cut scene, but sometimes heart-wrenching cut scene, but sometimes heart-wrenching cut scene, but sometimes you won't be able to hear the dub. You you won't be able to hear the dub. You you won't be able to hear the dub. You might not be able to hear what the might not be able to hear what the might not be able to hear what the characters are saying because the music characters are saying because the music characters are saying because the music might be too loud or the character might be too loud or the character might be too loud or the character voices and the dub is too soft and just voices and the dub is too soft and just voices and the dub is too soft and just just annoying things like that which just annoying things like that which just annoying things like that which could be totally like fixed in a Switch could be totally like fixed in a Switch could be totally like fixed in a Switch 2 edition. But the thing that I don't 2 edition. But the thing that I don't 2 edition. But the thing that I don't want them to change is the dub. That want them to change is the dub. That want them to change is the dub. That would require more work than what is would require more work than what is would require more work than what is necessarily required for a Switch 2 necessarily required for a Switch 2 necessarily required for a Switch 2 edition. And you guys might be like, edition. And you guys might be like, edition. And you guys might be like, "Oh, well, Nishquick, they're bringing "Oh, well, Nishquick, they're bringing "Oh, well, Nishquick, they're bringing like the voice actors back for Tears of like the voice actors back for Tears of like the voice actors back for Tears of the Kingdom and Breath of the Wild to do

the Kingdom and Breath of the Wild to do the Kingdom and Breath of the Wild to do the Memories with the Zelda nodes." And the Memories with the Zelda nodes." And the Memories with the Zelda nodes." And that's pretty cool. But I just feel like that's pretty cool. But I just feel like that's pretty cool. But I just feel like doing a whole new recording for the dub doing a whole new recording for the dub doing a whole new recording for the dub of a giant JRPG is way more of a of a giant JRPG is way more of a of a giant JRPG is way more of a commitment than just doing a few voice commitment than just doing a few voice commitment than just doing a few voice lines here and there for the Zelda games lines here and there for the Zelda games lines here and there for the Zelda games on their Switch 2 edition. So, keep the on their Switch 2 edition. So, keep the on their Switch 2 edition. So, keep the dub. just fix the audio mixing because dub. just fix the audio mixing because dub. just fix the audio mixing because it's a little all over the place. And it's a little all over the place. And it's a little all over the place. And this is a cool thought that I had in a this is a cool thought that I had in a this is a cool thought that I had in a Switch 2 edition or even a definitive Switch 2 edition or even a definitive Switch 2 edition or even a definitive edition if they even choose to go down edition if they even choose to go down edition if they even choose to go down that route, even though I don't want that route, even though I don't want that route, even though I don't want them to. But maybe after chapter 7, they them to. But maybe after chapter 7, they them to. But maybe after chapter 7, they give you the option to be like, "Hey, do give you the option to be like, "Hey, do give you the option to be like, "Hey, do you want to play Tour of the Golden you want to play Tour of the Golden you want to play Tour of the Golden Country right now?" Because that is sort Country right now?" Because that is sort Country right now?" Because that is sort of what Takahashi intended for the ideal of what Takahashi intended for the ideal of what Takahashi intended for the ideal Xenolade 2 experience. You get through Xenolade 2 experience. You get through Xenolade 2 experience. You get through chapter 7, you fall down into the land chapter 7, you fall down into the land chapter 7, you fall down into the land of Mora and then you do like an of Mora and then you do like an of Mora and then you do like an intermission story of Tor of the Golden intermission story of Tor of the Golden intermission story of Tor of the Golden Country. And as we now know, Tor of the Country. And as we now know, Tor of the Country. And as we now know, Tor of the Golden Country is like a 12 to 15 maybe Golden Country is like a 12 to 15 maybe Golden Country is like a 12 to 15 maybe 20our long campaign. So it kind of feel 20our long campaign. So it kind of feel 20our long campaign. So it kind of feel weird to have it like shoehorned in weird to have it like shoehorned in weird to have it like shoehorned in there. But having that option is it there. But having that option is it there. But having that option is it would be kind of nice. I don't know if would be kind of nice. I don't know if would be kind of nice. I don't know if that would work out for a switch two that would work out for a switch two that would work out for a switch two edition for the game because I don't edition for the game because I don't edition for the game because I don't know how the DLC is going to factor into know how the DLC is going to factor into know how the DLC is going to factor into a lot of these Switch 2 editions. Like a lot of these Switch 2 editions. Like a lot of these Switch 2 editions. Like we don't know what the Champions Ballot we don't know what the Champions Ballot we don't know what the Champions Ballot is going to feel like with the Breath of is going to feel like with the Breath of is going to feel like with the Breath of the Wild switch 2 edition. So, will a the Wild switch 2 edition. So, will a the Wild switch 2 edition. So, will a lot of the hypothetical Switch 2 edition lot of the hypothetical Switch 2 edition lot of the hypothetical Switch 2 edition upgrades to Xenolade 2 translate over

upgrades to Xenolade 2 translate over upgrades to Xenolade 2 translate over into Tor of the Golden Country as well? into Tor of the Golden Country as well? into Tor of the Golden Country as well? I don't know. That's just something I've I don't know. That's just something I've I don't know. That's just something I've been thinking about. But this final been thinking about. But this final been thinking about. But this final thing I want to talk about is the major thing I want to talk about is the major thing I want to talk about is the major reason why I want something new added on reason why I want something new added on reason why I want something new added on to Xenolade Chronicles 2, whether it's a to Xenolade Chronicles 2, whether it's a to Xenolade Chronicles 2, whether it's a definitive edition or a Switch 2 definitive edition or a Switch 2 definitive edition or a Switch 2 edition. And after hearing about the edition. And after hearing about the edition. And after hearing about the Switch 2 editions in the April 2nd Switch 2 editions in the April 2nd Switch 2 editions in the April 2nd Nintendo Direct, I thought in my mind, Nintendo Direct, I thought in my mind, Nintendo Direct, I thought in my mind, I'm like, "Hey, this specific thing is I'm like, "Hey, this specific thing is I'm like, "Hey, this specific thing is something so perfect that they can add something so perfect that they can add something so perfect that they can add to Xenolade 2 to make it a quality to Xenolade 2 to make it a quality to Xenolade 2 to make it a quality Switch 2 edition." And that would be an Switch 2 edition." And that would be an Switch 2 edition." And that would be an epilog story. And we see like DLC epilog story. And we see like DLC epilog story. And we see like DLC adventures that they're doing for like adventures that they're doing for like adventures that they're doing for like games like Kirby and the Forgotten Land. games like Kirby and the Forgotten Land. games like Kirby and the Forgotten Land. It's getting a whole new like DLC It's getting a whole new like DLC It's getting a whole new like DLC campaign. And Xenolade is known for its campaign. And Xenolade is known for its campaign. And Xenolade is known for its epilog stories or DLC stories. Future epilog stories or DLC stories. Future epilog stories or DLC stories. Future Connected Tour of the Golden Country, Connected Tour of the Golden Country, Connected Tour of the Golden Country, the chapter 13 epilogue of Xenolade the chapter 13 epilogue of Xenolade the chapter 13 epilogue of Xenolade Chronicles X, and then of course you got Chronicles X, and then of course you got Chronicles X, and then of course you got Future Redeemed. But I feel like there's Future Redeemed. But I feel like there's Future Redeemed. But I feel like there's still a lot of story to be told in still a lot of story to be told in still a lot of story to be told in Xenolade Chronicles 2. uh go back to our Xenolade Chronicles 2. uh go back to our Xenolade Chronicles 2. uh go back to our conduit cast episode. We talk about this conduit cast episode. We talk about this conduit cast episode. We talk about this a lot, but I'll just say post Xenolade a lot, but I'll just say post Xenolade a lot, but I'll just say post Xenolade 2. There's a lot of questions that we 2. There's a lot of questions that we 2. There's a lot of questions that we have about the ending and the have about the ending and the have about the ending and the relationship that Blades and Drivers now relationship that Blades and Drivers now relationship that Blades and Drivers now have that are different to what it was have that are different to what it was have that are different to what it was at the start of the game after at the start of the game after at the start of the game after everything that happens at the end. The everything that happens at the end. The everything that happens at the end. The world is very different. Not only that, world is very different. Not only that, world is very different. Not only that, but there's a lot of things that lead

but there's a lot of things that lead but there's a lot of things that lead nicely into the start of Xenolade 3 nicely into the start of Xenolade 3 nicely into the start of Xenolade 3 right after Xenolade 2 ends. And I think right after Xenolade 2 ends. And I think right after Xenolade 2 ends. And I think an epilog story would be the best way to an epilog story would be the best way to an epilog story would be the best way to do that. I think it would be a great way do that. I think it would be a great way do that. I think it would be a great way to establish Nia as a protagonist. Show to establish Nia as a protagonist. Show to establish Nia as a protagonist. Show how she becomes queen of all rest, her how she becomes queen of all rest, her how she becomes queen of all rest, her different kind of relationship with Rex, different kind of relationship with Rex, different kind of relationship with Rex, Pyra, and Mithra, and how they kind of Pyra, and Mithra, and how they kind of Pyra, and Mithra, and how they kind of grow their family within all rest. And grow their family within all rest. And grow their family within all rest. And not only that, but I think it can lead not only that, but I think it can lead not only that, but I think it can lead nicely into the construction of Origin, nicely into the construction of Origin, nicely into the construction of Origin, the meeting with the Xenolade 1 the meeting with the Xenolade 1 the meeting with the Xenolade 1 characters through the medium of light, characters through the medium of light, characters through the medium of light, and it could give us a lot of answers to and it could give us a lot of answers to and it could give us a lot of answers to what maybe truly happened with Malos and what maybe truly happened with Malos and what maybe truly happened with Malos and Logos because there's a few really cool Logos because there's a few really cool Logos because there's a few really cool hints that Tetsuya Takahashi gave us in hints that Tetsuya Takahashi gave us in hints that Tetsuya Takahashi gave us in his interview in the Ionio Moments art his interview in the Ionio Moments art his interview in the Ionio Moments art book, he did kind of hint that there's book, he did kind of hint that there's book, he did kind of hint that there's still a lot of room for Malows to return still a lot of room for Malows to return still a lot of room for Malows to return in a future Xenolade Chronicles title.

in a future Xenolade Chronicles title. in a future Xenolade Chronicles title. How that will happen, we will sort of How that will happen, we will sort of How that will happen, we will sort of see. But not only that, but he did say see. But not only that, but he did say see. But not only that, but he did say that Fog Beast did sort of appear in All that Fog Beast did sort of appear in All that Fog Beast did sort of appear in All Rest, similar to how they did appear in Rest, similar to how they did appear in Rest, similar to how they did appear in Bionis for Shul and Melia. So, it would Bionis for Shul and Melia. So, it would Bionis for Shul and Melia. So, it would be really cool to have a Future be really cool to have a Future be really cool to have a Future Connected style episode for Xenolade 2 Connected style episode for Xenolade 2 Connected style episode for Xenolade 2 starring Nia, just like how Future starring Nia, just like how Future starring Nia, just like how Future Connected had Melia in the starring Connected had Melia in the starring Connected had Melia in the starring role. And it would be cool if the fog role. And it would be cool if the fog role. And it would be cool if the fog beast that enters All Rest would be like beast that enters All Rest would be like beast that enters All Rest would be like a Talethia or something like that a Talethia or something like that a Talethia or something like that because we got the Infernal Gulo in because we got the Infernal Gulo in because we got the Infernal Gulo in Bionis. Imagine one of the Tlethas that Bionis. Imagine one of the Tlethas that Bionis. Imagine one of the Tlethas that goes into the fog rift at the end of goes into the fog rift at the end of goes into the fog rift at the end of Future Connected comes out the other Future Connected comes out the other Future Connected comes out the other side in all rest as another fog king. side in all rest as another fog king. side in all rest as another fog king. That would be so cool and I would be so That would be so cool and I would be so That would be so cool and I would be so down for something like that. I've been down for something like that. I've been down for something like that. I've been discussing some of the possibilities of discussing some of the possibilities of discussing some of the possibilities of this with some friends. Maybe I can make this with some friends. Maybe I can make this with some friends. Maybe I can make an own separate dedicated video on this an own separate dedicated video on this an own separate dedicated video on this sometime later, but my point still sometime later, but my point still sometime later, but my point still stands that all of these additions and stands that all of these additions and stands that all of these additions and new improvements to Xenolade 2 could fit new improvements to Xenolade 2 could fit new improvements to Xenolade 2 could fit very nicely into a Switch 2 edition very nicely into a Switch 2 edition very nicely into a Switch 2 edition instead of a definitive edition. I know instead of a definitive edition. I know instead of a definitive edition. I know like the talk of definitive editions are like the talk of definitive editions are like the talk of definitive editions are really hot right now. Of course with really hot right now. Of course with really hot right now. Of course with Xenolade X and Xenolade 1 which got a Xenolade X and Xenolade 1 which got a Xenolade X and Xenolade 1 which got a really good one as well, but I think really good one as well, but I think really good one as well, but I think with Xenolade 1 and Xenolade X, they with Xenolade 1 and Xenolade X, they with Xenolade 1 and Xenolade X, they needed the definitive editions because needed the definitive editions because needed the definitive editions because they were stuck on older hardware. Wii U they were stuck on older hardware. Wii U they were stuck on older hardware. Wii U is not like natively backwards is not like natively backwards is not like natively backwards compatible with the Switch. So an compatible with the Switch. So an compatible with the Switch. So an entirely new version had to come out and

entirely new version had to come out and entirely new version had to come out and of course the Wii version of Xenolade 1 of course the Wii version of Xenolade 1 of course the Wii version of Xenolade 1 was very very old. So, a remaster was was very very old. So, a remaster was was very very old. So, a remaster was definitely something that was on the definitely something that was on the definitely something that was on the cards and something that was needed, cards and something that was needed, cards and something that was needed, especially for all the Xenolade games to especially for all the Xenolade games to especially for all the Xenolade games to come out on the Switch so everyone could come out on the Switch so everyone could come out on the Switch so everyone could understand the full scope of everything understand the full scope of everything understand the full scope of everything with Xenolade 3 and Future Redeemed. with Xenolade 3 and Future Redeemed. with Xenolade 3 and Future Redeemed. With Xenolade 2, like I said, you will With Xenolade 2, like I said, you will With Xenolade 2, like I said, you will still be able to get it on the eShop. still be able to get it on the eShop. still be able to get it on the eShop. You will still be able to pop your You will still be able to pop your You will still be able to pop your physical cartridge into your Switch 2. physical cartridge into your Switch 2. physical cartridge into your Switch 2. So, all it needs is a nice like So, all it needs is a nice like So, all it needs is a nice like performance and resolution bump, some performance and resolution bump, some performance and resolution bump, some nice quality of life improvements, and a nice quality of life improvements, and a nice quality of life improvements, and a nice additional epilog to put at the end nice additional epilog to put at the end nice additional epilog to put at the end of the game. And a lot of that can be of the game. And a lot of that can be of the game. And a lot of that can be done with a simple Switch 2 edition. And done with a simple Switch 2 edition. And done with a simple Switch 2 edition. And something like that will really help the something like that will really help the something like that will really help the game have longer legs in sales and game have longer legs in sales and game have longer legs in sales and success as well.
