Explore a Vast World in Xenoblade Chronicles 3
Explore fields that are rich in ecosystems, ranging from gentle to hostile enemies. Among them, powerful monsters with two names are called “Unique Monsters”. If you think you cannot win, it is important to know when to run away!
Each region is dotted with Colonies, which are the respective strongholds of Keves and Agnus. Inside each colony is a huge mobile base, which is also a good weapon for battle.
Amiibo Support
Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is confirmed to have Amiibo support! Any Amiibo you scan will give you rewards, but if you scan the Shulk Amiibo specifically, you can get the Monado weapon skin!
That being said, if you don’t own the Shulk Amiibo (especially since it’s incredibly hard to find one these days…), you can still obtain the Monado skin by clearing the game once!
