While this would make this a prequel then, the contrast of character’s relations to one another is something that you only really get to understand and appreciate if you’ve played through the base game’s story.
In other words, it’s very much fan service, as The Golden Country helps flesh out Jin’s backstory, revealing how he became the leader of the shadowy organisation Torna, which in this timeline is still also a real place that’s built on the back of a living Titan. In a nice nod to fans of the series, Lora’s Blade – a sentient being that also acts as a living weapon – is Jin, one of the chief villains in the original game. Set 500 years prior to the events of Xenoblade Chronicles 2, The Golden Country puts us in the shoes of Lora, an important character that until now, players had only seen glimpses of in flashbacks. Sadly though, it’s an expansion that pales in comparison to CD Projekt Red’s bewitching offering. Entitled Torna – The Golden Country, this new adventure tells a brand new story, making it the first Nintendo DLC to match the scale and duration of The Witcher 3’s Blood & Wine.
Now Xenoblade Chronicles 2 has just got a little bigger. It’s also the most generous game on Nintendo’s system, too, boasting an impressive 100+ hours of adventuring with the base game and a ton of small but regular content drops courtesy of its expansion pass. But since its launch last December, it’s Monolith Soft’s Xenoblade Chronicles 2 that has offered the most epic and imaginative world to explore. The Switch has seen no shortage of JRPGs of late.
