Not to be confused with Xenoblade Chronicles X, which is the ''actual'' "Xenoblade Chronicles 2". The Xenoblade Chronicles 2 pictured in this match is, technically, "Xenoblade Chronicles 3". You can thank Japan and their nonsensical methodology with how they name and order video games. I don't get it either.

Xenoblade 2 is set in the same story universe as the first game, and is a sort-of sequel to that game. They are also both linear, narrative and character focused JRPGs. X has nothing to do story wise with the other two games, and is an open-world game. The only connections it has with them is a similar battle system, and some easter eggs. So separating them makes sense.

By the way, remember TheStupidRaptor trying to claim Xenosaga and Xenoblade weren't in the same series even though the literal director said that both franchises are in the same series?

Legally, they aren't the same series. Square Enix owns the trademark and associated copyrights to 'Xenogears'. Bandai Namco owns 'Xenosaga' lock, stock, and barrel. 'Xenoblade' is all that Nintendo owns, and the others would take exception to Monolith and Nintendo getting too close to, or building off of, their property in these new games, hence the lack of connections (KOS-MOS and T-elos in 2 are cameos, licensed from the owner.)
