Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Switch 2 Edition Prioritizes Blades

With each of the Xenoblade Chronicles Switch 2 Update Packs, we’ve seen Monolith Soft and Nintendo do something to slightly enhance some element of the game and add a little quality of life adjustment. A means of making a return seem a little more valuable, but also perhaps the sort of thing that you don’t absolutely feel you must do if you aren’t ready to drop what you’re doing and head back into that world. With Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Switch 2 Edition, the focus is on the Blades by making the Merc Missions feels a little more hands-on with direct control of the characters and the inclusion of MOMO and new Pyra and Mythra outfits. The Merc Assault option with Blades in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Switch 2 Edition really feels like an excuse to use more of them while earning additional bonuses like more EXP, gold, Merc Points, and Rare Core Crystals at the same time.
