This happened with theTalesseries and later withShin Megamiand its spin-off,Persona.
Fortunately, that’s seemingly changing, as this unbelievably good JRPG series is almost completed in the West.
It started as a spin-off of theDragon Slayergames before becoming its very own series, not unlike thePersonagames.
More importantly,it means that both the West and Japan are caught up with theTrailsrelease schedule.
This level of commitment to a wider universe is both the series' greatest strength and weakness.
It makes it simultaneously impenetrable to a newcomer but immensely rewarding to dedicated fans.
That’s a tough approach for a series, but it pays off.
Now,everyXenobladegame is on Switchglobally, something that I am over the moon about.
Even when we did get a localization, it often wasn’t great.
