Xenoblade Chronicles
Xenoblade Chronicles currently spans three games: the original game (2010), spiritual successor "Xenoblade Chronicles X" (2015), "Xenoblade Chronicles 2" (2017), and expansion "" (2018). The games employ an action-based battle system, incorporating cooldown abilities and quick-time commands. "Xenoblade Chronicles X" also incorporates traversal using giant mechs known as Skells. While "Xenoblade Chronicles" adopts a story-driven design, "Xenoblade Chronicles X" uses a non-linear structure within an open world. No direct story connection exist between "Xenoblade Chronicles" and "Xenoblade Chronicles X". The Skells were also a deliberate callback to the Gears of "Xenogears". The "Xenoblade" series is owned by Nintendo and its subsidiary Monolith Soft.
