History VideoGame / XenobladeChronicles2

%%* GhibliHills:

* InternalHomage: The trailer has a scene with a red sword impaled on a grassland and facing a gigantic object from a distance, a nod to ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles''' boxart and title screen.

** One of the areas in the game apparently takes place on a massive creature, just like how the world of Xenoblade Chronicles took place on the bodies of the Bionis and the Mechonis.
** The glowing green icon within Rex's sword has the same shape as the Zohar from VideoGame/{{Xenogears}} and VideoGame/{{Xenosaga}} and the Lifehold modules from ''X''.

* WhamShot: One in the beginning of the first trailer no less! Our first glimpse of gameplay we see is Rex running through some valley with a mountain. Then said mountain starts to move, and shows its ''head''. [[ThatsNoMoon That's no mountain, that's a creature!]]

* InternalHomage: The trailer has a scene where a red sword impaled on a grassland looking forward to a gigantic object from a distance, a nod to ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles'' boxart and title screen.

* MysteriousWaif: Two of them so far. Hikari and Homura.

** [[VideoGame/{{Xenogears}} As]] [[VideoGame/{{Xenosaga}} per]] [[VideoGame/{{Xenoblade}} Xeno]]-[[Videogame/XenobladeChroniclesX tradition]], there's a [[LegacyCharacter character]] named Van- again. In this case, his name is Vandham.
** One of the areas in the game apparently takes place on a massive creature, just like how the world of Xenoblade Chronicles 1 took place on the bodies of the Bionis and Mechonis.

* WhamShot: One in the beginning of the first trailer no less! Our first glimpse of gameplay we see is Rex running through some valley with a mountain. Then said mountain starts to move. And shows it's ''head''. [[ThatsNoMoon That's no mountain, that's a creature!]]

** The glowing green icon within Rex's sword is the same as the Zohar from VideoGame/{{Xenogears}} and VideoGame/{{Xenosaga}}.

Unlike the more SpaceOpera-oriented ''VideoGame/XenobladeChroniclesX'', this sequel follows up on the more ScienceFantasy-oriented setting of the original, though it still features new characters separate from the original.

** One of the areas in the game apparently takes place on a massive living creature, just like how the world of Xenoblade Chronicles 1 took place on the [[spoiler: not so]] dead bodies of the Bionis and Mechonis.
