I have never played Xenoblade Chronicles, but seeing recent trailers it's a series I'd like to get into.



Will playing the Xenoblade Chronicles 2 before playing the original Xenoblade Chronicles mean that I will get spoilers for Xenoblade Chronicles, or feel confused about Xenoblade Chronicles 2?



Please use spoiler tags where appropriate.

          • All three games are completely separate stories and games that happen to share some similarities in terms of races and items and so on. The series is very similar to Final Fantasy in that regard. Without going into spoiler territory, the games do sometimes reference each other, but not in any significant way. You can play the games in any order or not at all.

          • XC2 and its DLC were written such that you'd play the main game first, as the Torna DLC wasn't even available until a few days ago. Playing the DLC second is recommended.

            Agreed. Definitely don't start with the Torna DLC, play XC2 first. Other than that, doesn't really matter.

          • There are a few character tie-ins between XC2 and the earlier XC games. However, they're all DLC and there's no story-based reason for it. The tie-ins are just for fans to reconnect with some popular characters.

This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of
