The Scale of Xenoblade Chronicles

Mountains of Scripts

Monolith Soft's X (formerly Twitter) post highlighted the sheer number of script books—stacks upon stacks—dedicated solely to the main storylines. The developers emphasized that these are only the main story scripts, with additional, separate scripts for side quests. This visually underscores the enormous effort poured into each game.

The Xenoblade Chronicles series is renowned for its expansive scope, encompassing a vast plot, extensive dialogue, a huge world, and substantial gameplay hours. Completing a single game typically demands at least 70 hours, excluding side quests and optional content. Dedicated players have reported completion times exceeding 150 hours.

Fans reacted with awe and humor to the post, expressing amazement at the sheer volume of scripts and jokingly inquiring about purchasing them for their personal collections.
