gunplagirl 11/15/22 2:50:39 PM #1:	It looks like the $40 Torna version is a standalone while if I buy the expansion pass for $30 it has that plus the other dlc sets? So then, that means I should just buy the $90 XBC2 and expansion pass set on the Nintendo eshop and I'll get everything? And that I won't have any issues doing that vs buying the base game and then the pass separately? --- tfw no big tiddy goth vampire gf who lactates blood - viewmaster_pi <cite>gunplagirl posted [p:969448770] in So which v...

And the main reason it hasn't been re-released is its size. In terms of explorable area it absolutely dwarfs the others. In addition it lacks load-zones for the most part so it would be an enormous undertaking to port it. --- "A shouted order to do something of dubious morality with an unpredictable outcome? Thweeet!"

If the comparison doesn't make sense don't worry about it but missing X isn't that big story-wise: X is more Xenosaga than it is Xenoblade. --- "A shouted order to do something of dubious morality with an unpredictable outcome?

I own a physical copy of Torna and I thought I'd just continue with that immediately after? I've seen some arguments for starting Torna before Xenoblade 2 to help with some story moments or context for certain characters. I played Xenoblade 2 before it even released so I never even had the chance to try it like that, but I can see why someone would suggest to play in chronological order. I'm sure someone even has a suggestion for playing Torna mid-Xenoblade 2 and then resuming the main game after finishing Torna.
