To those in Japan, Nintendo has sent a special message to everyone on their mailing list. The message was written by Tetsuya Takahashi, Director of Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

Mr Takahashi writes that he hopes that everyone is enjoying XC2 and that there is much more than just the main story. He hopes that people will also broaden their enjoyment by getting the expansion pass as well.

Here is a translation of the message:

Good day to everyone who has bought Xenoblade Chronicles 2. This is Takahashi from Monolith Soft. I’m glad to have a chance to deliver my speech directly to everyone by using email this time.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is a scenario-based RPG that inherits the gameplay system from its prequel Xenoblade Chronicles. Being scenario-based, some people may think “is this game just about pursuing the main story?” But this game is different. It has a lot more features than just the story, such as exploring a vast world, raising characters and the various blades, beating strong monsters, and so many quests. You’ll need a lot of time to enjoy all of the replay value, but you don’t need to hurry.

Soon, the Advanced New Game Mode (a.k.a. second playthrough / New Game+) will be implemented for all players. Other than that, additional quests and story will be given to those who have bought the Expansion Pass. We are planning for this content to make Xenoblade Chronicles 2 playable worldwide in an even longer term, so please play at your own relaxed pace. Finally, please continue supporting Xenoblade Chronicles 2!

– General director Tetsuya Takahashi (Monolith Soft)
