Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is truly the game that keeps on giving.

Screenshot of the "Common Blade" page on Xeno Series Wiki, showing the section which describes how a common Blade's name is determined. The text says "The game will avoid duplicates with already-existing Blades; if this is not possible (which in practice will only happen if the player is trying to exhaust a group on purpose), then all new Common Blades for that name group will be called Aizen (the first name in the overall list) until a spot opens up."

Sometimes you just have to be a bit candid.

Screenshot of the Kazfa Jina page from Xenosaga II on Xeno Series Wiki, including the text "These guys suck because every attack they do sends their target into the air..."

Screenshot of the Xeno Series Wiki help page on advanced editing. "Note that sometimes there's a difference between 'space', 'blank', and 'not specified', while other times there is no difference. Yes this is annoying."

Screenshot of the Spike Defence page on Xeno Series Wiki. Start of the Overview section: "Spikes are generally very annoying,..."

the xeno series wiki is a very helpful resource for your xenoblade needs

XCX has an unused weather effect that has a 15% chance of dealing 2000 physical damage and inflicting Launch every 10 seconds. This is what it'd've looked like (with the rate every 1/3 of a second instead).

Today on "obscure Xenoblade 2 mechanics": A common Blade's voicelines affect how much affinity they start with, gain and lose in combat.

A screenshot of the "Affinity (XC2)" page on Xeno Series Wiki, showing a table titled "Common Blades". The table has headers for "Voice ID", "Voiceline when equipped", "Starting affinity", "Affinity gain modifier", and "Affinity loss modifier".

Two entries of the table are shown, one of whose voicelines is "Okay, let's get the party started!" and the other of which is "Oookay. Let's get the party started!". The two have different affinity modifiers.

In Xenoblade X, different AI-controlled characters have different chances of QTE success when binding an enemy in a Skell. Doug — the ace Skell pilot who has constant combat dialogue about debuffing his foes — is tied for worst at this. Hope is second-best.

Screenshot of a table on the "Bind (XCX)" page on the Xeno Series Wiki, listing the rates at which AI-controlled party members in Xenoblade X successfully complete Soul Challenges to bind an enemy.

Advantages of having a robust condition module based on the in-game data: nothing left out, easy to change things all in one place, less work managing thousands of relevant pages... Disadvantages: you have to display all the redundancy included in the game too.

The infobox for Xenoblade X's "Mystery Man" sidequest on Xeno Series Wiki. The list of conditions for the quest appearance reads:
"Story: Chapter 5 completed
Quest not completed: Mystery Man
Quest objective not completed: Mystery Man - Talk to Graham on Central Melville Street in the commercial district."

We found that we were selling Gradivus, the Headless Emperor short by 5 HP (that's 0.000005%). Easy fix, right? ...Right?

Screenshot of the "List of bugs and glitches (XCX)" Xeno Series Wiki page, describing the very technical bug which leads to Gradivus having 5 more HP than he 'should'.

Discussion on the Xeno Series Wiki discord:
"> omitting casts from float to double
please provide the entire formula that includes all casts, so I can get the full picture of how much this matters if at all"

Response from Hamidu:
"oh boy, give me a second to wrap my head around it"

Followed by a screenshot of decompiled code from XCX, leading with a cast to a double, then to a float, then to a double, then to a float, then to a double.

Screenshot of Sir Teati Moonlight in the Xeno Series Wiki discord wrapping his head around exactly what's causing the discrepancy between the in-game enemy stat calculation (something which takes 9 lines of code with numbers listed at extremely high precision to properly interpret) and the on-wiki calculation.

Screenshot of the newly-added "Module:XCX enemy stat" Xeno Series Wiki helper module, featuring an 18-line function with a tangled composition of mathematical operations purely for replicating XCX's behaviour of turning doubles into floats.

Back in the days when you could simp for Takahashi via official channels.

The core chips in Xenoblade 2 ALMOST fit a neat pattern based upon their naming schemes and rank. Sadly, the Bronze Chip, Motor Chip, and Axion Chip didn't get the memo.

Screenshot of the Core Chip wiki page, featuring a table of the core chips, their rank, and their naming schemes, with an associated explanation. Most of the ranks have a unique naming "series", but three exceptions stick out.

I rather like the Chu-Chu interpretation myself.

We need headers to organise the script pages by cutscene, but Xenoblade X doesn't have official cutscene titles, so we just make them up.

The table of contents for the "Script of Xenoblade Chronicles X/Chapter 13 (Act 1) wiki page, featuring headers titled (among other things) "Seeing Ghosts Scatter"/"As They Pour Out", "The Whole Universe Is Going To Die", and "And the Vita with the Piledriver into Noctilum".

You guys get one guess as to what page this is.

A screenshot of a table on a wiki page, titled "Hitframes", with columns for "Hit", "Frame", and "Distribution". The only entry has its Frame listed as 215 and its Distribution as 100%.

The same table as before, but with rollover text on the Frame 215 value shown, indicating that it is equivalent to 7.167 seconds.

Xenoblade X has a bunch of special "Glaive" weapons, most famously the Receding Rust. The first word in their names corresponds to the attribute of the weapon: "Signature" for Physical, "Bewitched" for Ether, "Mighty" for Gravity, and - strangely - "Ethereal" for Thermal.

A screenshot of the "special weapons" section of Xeno Series Wiki's "Glaive Series" page. The Sacred Seven series, with their varying names and attributes, are listed.

As of an hour ago, for (I believe) the first time in the wiki's history, the most-wanted page on the wiki - that is, the nonexistent page which is linked to the most times - is not about Xenoblade. And yet, the top two are still about "Klaus" and "Mikhail".

A screenshot of Xeno Series Wiki's most-wanted pages list. "Klaus's Mind" and "Mikhail's Trap" head the list with 102 redlinks each, followed by a series of various other pages about a variety of games.

The voice credits of Xenoblade X are, put simply, baffling. Characters such as Ga Jiarg, Nagi, Ryyz, and (in the Wii U) Vandham do not have their voice actor listed in the credits; but others such as Ga Buidhe, Rock, and Dagahn do. As always, citogenesis doesn't help.

Screenshot of Ga Jiarg's wiki page. His English VA is listed as "Uncredited", with a footnote: "IMDB lists Jamieson Price as Ga Jiarg's voice actor. However, Price's own website does not list Xenoblade X among his contributions."

In the original reveal trailer for Xenoblade X (or "A brand new title developed by MONOLITH SOFTWARE INC."), the Millesaur enemies are called "Amphicoelias" (アンフィコエリアス), which implies that their design is based on that particular species. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphicoelias

If you've ever wondered what's up with the weird ordering of the items in Xenoblade X DE's Material Market, this is the answer.

Screenshot of the list of materials on the "Material (XCX)" wiki page. One of the columns is called "MM sort". The page adds "Due to an oversight, the Material Market in the Definitive Edition is sorted by Japanese name, rather than name in the selected language. This is displayed in the "MM sort" column."

It's been a funny day and a half for the wiki — the flurry of pre-Xenoblade X DE activity suddenly and instantly became a flurry of Pied Piper activity.

A section of Xeno Series Wiki's Recent Changes page, featuring dozens of changes to the pages of Pied Piper characters and entire new categories being made for extracted images.

We expanded our infoboxes for Xenogears characters with all the information from Perfect Works, calling it detailed is an understatement.
