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.

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

Bro, why is the Xenoblade 2 script on the Xenoseries Wiki like that 😭

We still need people to do it for XCX and XC3 so... any volunteers?

Unless you count Monica and Ghondor (and Guernica before ch1).

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).

Most of the time, Blades that have different voicelines but who say the same things will have the same affinity modifiers. This is just a (funny) exception.

Depths of Xeno Series Wiki @depthsofxsw.bsky.social · 15/03/2026

To my understanding, there are several "personalities" that common Blades can have. The personality determines the voice lines and the affinity modifiers.

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."

It looks at first glance to me like the double casts are necessary? But I'm certainly no expert in decompilation.

As an aside, the List of bugs and glitches (XCX) page in the first screenshot is definitely one of my favourites as of late. It really shows how much duct tape is holding these games together. xenoserieswiki.org/wiki/List_of...

"okay that should be better

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.
