Special mentions to Haze, the low-key queen of throwing shade, who is somewhat of an expert in making people smile. That is not to say that the game’s story is all doom and grim, as the cast is a likeable bunch that has a lot of fun interacting with each other. By exploring the shifting relationships and seeing into the past of Mythra and Jin, I feel I have a greater appreciation of the overarching narrative in Xenoblade 2 as a whole.Ī grim reminder that nothing worthwhile lasts. While all the main characters are explored in one way or another, the bond between Jin and Lora takes center stage and serves as a bittersweet reminder of the broken man Jin is destined to become after losing her. More importantly, I was able to gain some insight on the relationships of characters like Mythra, Addam, Hugo, Haze, Jin and Lora. To see it first hand and actually take part in that battle brought new context and meaning to the events that sent shockwaves throughout the world. When I learned of the nation of “Torna” I was only aware that it was once a mighty nation that was brought down during the battle between the two Aegises. The events that play out in this massive 25+ hour expansion details the story beats that were only hinted about in the original game. To combat this devastating threat, the Price of Torna awakens the other Aegis, Mythra, and sets out to stop Malos once and for all. The story present in the Golden Country takes place during the time when the Aegis Malos is wreaking havoc across the world. Instead, why not go play Xenoblade 2? It’s an excellent RPG! With that in mind, if you are reading this review without first having played Xenoblade 2, I highly recommend that you do not read the rest of this review as I delve into some plot points that could be deemed a spoiler. MSRP: $39.99(physical, standalone), $29.99(digital, part of X2 expansion pass)Įven though Torna~ The Golden Country can be purchased as a standalone title, it clearly feels designed to be a compliment to the original story more than anything else.
