Interesting note: for this DLC, the developers actually went and upgraded the character models that were originally used in the cutscenes of the main game (for the characters mentioned above)! The story of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is centered around Rex and Pyra / Mythra, but in Torna ~The Golden Country, the main characters are Jin and Lora.Įver wondered what happened in Jin’s past? What kind of person that Lora was? What was the relationship betwen Addam and Mythra? If yes, then you should totally play this story DLC, in order to finally get the full picture instead of just the various fragments that are shown to you in the main game. It tells the story of Jin, Mythra, Malos, and Amlathus, but also Lora and Addam, which are two of they key characters of the main story
If you’ve already read our previous post about the story DLC, you already know Torna ~The Golden Country takes place 500 years before the events of Xenoblade Chronicles 2. But later, when the decision was made to have additional story content in the Expansion Pass for the game, he thought that was the perfect occasion to bring back this story content. By that time, he had accumulated a fair amount of experience (and improved his management methods), and so he could predict with great accuracy how much time it would take to make a game of a certain quality and scope, based on the amount of text it had.Īnd by taking various factors into consideration, he realised that if they were to include the content from Torna~The Golden Country in the main game, they would end up going over their allocated budget for Xenoblade Chronicles 2… not to mention they would not be able to complete the game in time.Īnd so,without showing it to anyone, Tetsuya Takahashi decided to go without that story, extracted the elements that were required for the main story, and then went on to complete work on Xenoblade Chronicles 2.Īfter that, Torna ~The Golden Country fell “asleep” on the HDD of Tetsuya Takahashi’s computer for a while. Tetsuya Takahashi explains that 3 years ago, it had already been 5 years since the release of Xenoblade Chronicles. Now, you’re probably wondering what happened, and why it was ‘removed’ from the main story.
Or rather, it would be more accurate to say that it was one of the possible “candidate” stories to be included in the initial plot. Torna ~The Golden Country was part of the initial plot for the main game. Following that revealed, Tetsuya Takahashi posted a new Production Notes blog post on the official website in Japan, sharing additional details about the DLC and its development. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 – Production Notes #14: Torna ~The Golden CountryĮarlier this week, Nintendo revealed the story DLC for Xenoblade Chronicles 2, called Torna ~The Golden Country.
