Noticing a little chill in the air? Getting darker a little sooner? That must mean it’s almost time for Frosty Fest! This special global in-game event will turn Inkopolis Square into a winter wonderland! Stages will also be winter themed, and Inklings and Octolings will get to use some very fancy glitter-filled ink!

The differences in the Xenoblade games, summed up by how you get to a new area during the main campaign

Xenoblade 1: Most places are connected by land. If you just follow along the story, it eventually sees you walking into the next area. A few times you’ll get cutscened into a place.

Xenoblade 2: You almost exclusively get to a new titan via story means. Someone shows up with a boat in a cutscene to take you somewhere. At least twice you must complete a story quest where you need to negotiate getting your party onto a boat to the next area.

Xenoblade X: “Yes I did say ‘swim across the ocean to the next continent yourself’, you think this is a joke?”
