Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Pics Show Another Use For Blades

Just how involved will the “Blades” in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 be? Will they have powers outside of combat?

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is now less than two months away, and many are excited to get their hands on Monolith Soft’s lastest RPG title. The world that the game resides in is massive, and that would make traveling an important thing. Well, as revealed on the games official Twitter, you’ll have some options for how you get around.

The pic below is of one of the characters in the game, Nia, and she’s literally riding one of her blades (the living weapons in the game), called Dromarch. Now, while this infers that only she can ride it (and you can switch between characters in Xenoblade Chronicles 2), it does mean it’s possible for other characters to ride their blades too, depending on what they look like.
