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.

          One-line joke

          A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't." "Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala
