The Epic Scale of Xenoblade Chronicles
A Mountain of Storytelling
Monolith Soft's X (formerly Twitter) post revealed massive piles of script books—and these represent only the main storylines! Separate scripts exist for the extensive side quests, further emphasizing the monumental effort involved in creating these games.
The Xenoblade Chronicles series is renowned for its expansive scope. Players routinely invest 70+ hours to complete a single game, and dedicated completionists often surpass 150 hours. This playtime reflects the depth of the narrative, world-building, and gameplay.
Fans reacted with awe and humor to the image, expressing amazement at the sheer number of scripts and jokingly inquiring about purchasing them.
