Story
In the year 2054, Earth has been destroyed after being caught in a war between two alien races. Humanity evacuates the planet in the form of massive ships carrying them through space, one taking off from every major city on the planet. Two years later, one of the two alien forces catches up to one of the evacuee ships, the White Whale which departed from Los Angeles, and attacks. The ship is heavily damaged and crash-lands on the planet Mira, breaking apart as it enters the atmosphere.
The player is awakened from stasis by a woman named Elma, who takes them back to the human colony of New Los Angeles. Now, working for the organization BLADE, the player must work to defend the colony of New Los Angeles from threats while also searching for the missing Lifehold.
Gameplay
Xenoblade Chronicles X features similar gameplay to the original title, with a greater emphasis placed on exploring the world, which is entirely open. The objective of exploring each area is to find stasis capsules which have landed all over the planet and recover them. Players can travel on foot or in massive robots called Skells, which can fly and transform into other vehicles.
Using the Wii U GamePad, player can access information on the native life forms that has been collected, view the map, warp to previously visited locations, or play using Off-TV Play.
