[Patch Notes] Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Version 1.3.1 for Nintendo Switch

True to their word, a new update intended to remedy known issues in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 did role out in time for the end of the month and now, after many hours later, Nintendo have gone live with the patch notes. Surprisingly, the update is a lot bigger than expected and a whole bunch of issues have addressed and you can read all about each one below:

 

Version. 1.3.1: [Released 03/29/18]

 

Issues Fixed:

• Fixed an issue where common blades resonated to drivers other than Rex were being deleted if the player started a New Game Plus with them assigned to Rex.
  • We apologize, but even if you update your data, you will be unable to restore your common blades.
• Fixed an issue during New Game Plus where the player was unable to acquire a common blade’s affinity gift even after fulfilling the conditions.
• Fixed an issue where rare blades that were released were unable to rise above trust level S if they resonated with a character again.
  • Downloading the update data will set the trust level at S.
  • In the case that the actual trust level is higher than S, then upon doing something to raise the trust level, it will quickly increase to its actual level.
• We have addressed the following problems where effects intended to be applied to blades on standby were only effective when they were deployed in battle.
  • Core Chips: Some status up types such as “HP MAX Boost”, “Increases the enemy gold drop rate”,”Increases the enemy item drop rate”
  • Aux Cores: ”Hunter’s’ Chemistry”, and “Shoulder to Shoulder”
  • Poppy’s Skill RAM: Some status up types such as “HP MAX Boost”, “Gold Rush”, “Treasure Sensor”, “Hunter’s Chemistry”, and “Shoulder to Shoulder”.
  • Common Blade Skills: “Accelerated Growth”, ”Weaponsmaster”, ”Gold Rush”, and “Treasure Sensor”.
• Fixed an issue where Patroka’s Evasion Effect Art wasn’t triggering correctly.
• Fixed an issue where the player couldn’t advance in the Gormott quest “Whereabouts Unknown”.
• Fixed an issue where the player couldn’t advance in the Uraya quest “Marvelous Mercenaries”.
• Fixed an issue where the player couldn’t advance in the Mor Ardain quest “We Meet Again”.
• Fixed an issue where the minimap and compass wouldn’t display, and fast travel with the X-button would become unavailable.
• Fixed an issue where Mythra’s 10% Ether modifier wasn’t being reflected in Rex’s Ether attribute display.
  • This problem concerned the display of the modifier; it was being applied.
• Addressed a problem with crafting field skills such as “Pyra’s Cooking” where you couldn’t continually make things.
• Fixed an issue where titles of locations were not displaying when discovering landmarks, locations, and secret areas/viewpoints.
• Fixed an issue where blades would cycle backwards for Rex when using blade change if Mythra was engaged.

 

Changes and New Features:

• An NPC, “Momoni,” has been added to chapter one of New Game Plus, to restore your money one time.
• He will help you when you are unable to buy an Abyss Vest or unable to send funds due to lack of money on-hand.
• Adjusted the difficulty of some of the boss battles in Chapter Ten of New Game Plus (so that they reflect Rex’s level).
• Now displays the currently held and maximum number of accessories, Aux Cores and Poppy parts in menus and shops.
• Added a function to download the second Expansion Pass quest. Added a notification page to the menu that contains information about the Expansion Pass.
• If the Expansion Pass is removed or deleted from your console, “Continue” can no longer be selected to resume Expansion Pass save data.
  • You will be able to select Continue again once you download the Expansion Pass.
