XCX has an unused weather effect that has a 15% chance of dealing 2000 physical damage and inflicting Launch every 10 seconds. This is what it'd've looked like (with the rate every 1/3 of a second instead).

Today on "obscure Xenoblade 2 mechanics": A common Blade's voicelines affect how much affinity they start with, gain and lose in combat.

In Xenoblade X, different AI-controlled characters have different chances of QTE success when binding an enemy in a Skell. Doug — the ace Skell pilot who has constant combat dialogue about debuffing his foes — is tied for worst at this. Hope is second-best.

Advantages of having a robust condition module based on the in-game data: nothing left out, easy to change things all in one place, less work managing thousands of relevant pages... Disadvantages: you have to display all the redundancy included in the game too.

We found that we were selling Gradivus, the Headless Emperor short by 5 HP (that's 0.000005%). Easy fix, right? ...Right?

Redirect appreciation

Americans will use anything but the metric system.

who invited my man blud bro thinks he's on the team

Back in the days when you could simp for Takahashi via official channels.

The core chips in Xenoblade 2 ALMOST fit a neat pattern based upon their naming schemes and rank. Sadly, the Bronze Chip, Motor Chip, and Axion Chip didn't get the memo.

I rather like the Chu-Chu interpretation myself.

We need headers to organise the script pages by cutscene, but Xenoblade X doesn't have official cutscene titles, so we just make them up.

yo dawg I heard you like F-Waves

The Xeno wiki has a chart showing the chain of quests you need to do to unlock a party member in Xenoblade Chronicles X and it looks like this

Defeating the Bright Wisp 100 Times Crashes Xenoblade Chronicles

You guys get one guess as to what page this is.

Xenoblade X has a bunch of special "Glaive" weapons, most famously the Receding Rust. The first word in their names corresponds to the attribute of the weapon: "Signature" for Physical, "Bewitched" for Ether, "Mighty" for Gravity, and - strangely - "Ethereal" for Thermal.

As of an hour ago, for (I believe) the first time in the wiki's history, the most-wanted page on the wiki - that is, the nonexistent page which is linked to the most times - is not about Xenoblade. And yet, the top two are still about "Klaus" and "Mikhail".

The voice credits of Xenoblade X are, put simply, baffling. Characters such as Ga Jiarg, Nagi, Ryyz, and (in the Wii U) Vandham do not have their voice actor listed in the credits; but others such as Ga Buidhe, Rock, and Dagahn do. As always, citogenesis doesn't help.

Don't tell Mythra.

In the original reveal trailer for Xenoblade X (or "A brand new title developed by MONOLITH SOFTWARE INC."), the Millesaur enemies are called "Amphicoelias" (アンフィコエリアス), which implies that their design is based on that particular species. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphicoelias

If you've ever wondered what's up with the weird ordering of the items in Xenoblade X DE's Material Market, this is the answer.

Depths of this-is-totally-Xeno-Series-Wiki

Happy April Fools everyone!

It's been a funny day and a half for the wiki — the flurry of pre-Xenoblade X DE activity suddenly and instantly became a flurry of Pied Piper activity.

We expanded our infoboxes for Xenogears characters with all the information from Perfect Works, calling it detailed is an understatement.

The cutscene music in Xenosaga Episode II is sometimes quite different between the Japanese and the western versions of the game. How different? Well, very. Just listen. Thanks to @rtg142857 for discovering this! Cutscenes taken from Helsionium on Youtube.

When you look at our maps for Alcamoth collectables in Future Connected, it might look like we messed up rotating it, but we didn't. The devs did. They forgot to swap X- and Z-coordinates. This is the reason why collectables appear so rarely in Alcamoth. This was never patched.

Not exactly "depths of" Xeno Series Wiki — arguably the exact opposite — but: XSW's main page links to other affiliated wikis (as is typical). What is not typical is the icons they use — each a stylised kanji in the vein of a Monado Art icon. Can you identify them all?

Areas in Oblivia in Xenoblade Chronicles X are named after — of all things — IRL football (soccer) players.

well ok then

The official title of the Underground Ruins area theme in Xenosaga III is misspelt. All official sources call it "Zarathustra dangeon".

But hey, for the one guy who needed to know that the Urayan Bobbile Brog has 1.5x the chance to drop a Common Core Crystal compared to its Gormott brethren, we got you.

Sakura's first appearance was not in Xenosaga Episode II, but instead in Xenosaga Freaks, which released two months earlier. Even though her house is seen in both games only very briefly, they made sure the Freaks version resembled the Episode II version as much as possible (minus the Bunnie plush).
