Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Version Update 1.1.1 Now Available; Various Issues Fixed

Nintendo and Monolithsoft have released a new patch for Xenoblade Chronicles 3, version 1.1.1. Our translations of the patch notes are listed below via our team’s Ryuji:

• Fixed the movement pattern of the Perilwing Ryuhou Unique Enemy.
• Fixed an issue with Teach’s Class Ascension Quest, where one of the battles that occur would not end and advance the cutscene as it should.
• Fixed an issue with the “Severed Connection” and “Imminent Illusion” side quests, where the battles would not end and advance the quest as they should.
• Fixed an issue where certain Collectopaedia Cards would not be able to be completed due to an item drop being impossible.
• Fixed an issue where the effects of certain cooking items would not be properly displayed.
• Fixed an issue where under certain conditions, the Talent Art button would not display as intended, even after the tutorial was completed.
• Fixed an issue where the word “Verkaufen” would erroneously overlay on top of the shop menu if the game is set to German.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 tells the story of protagonists Noah and Mio contending with a conflict between the nations of Keves and Agnus. 6 characters will be the crux of the experience, and the broad concept of “life” will be the title’s central theme.

The narrative ties in elements and plotlines from the future of the prior two mainline games, Xenoblade Chronicles and Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Flutes seem to play an integral role in this title’s premise.

The summoning of this powerful new form depends on a new Interlink system. If specific conditions are met, characters can combine into this mech, and choosing well when to transform should be key to the more difficult battles. Another system revealed is a class change option, allowing players to customize their parties’ builds further than in previous games.
