Xenoblade Chronicles X Director Says He Is Finally Meeting A Challenge With The Game

The director of Xenoblade Chronicles X – Monolith Soft’s Tetsuya Takahashi – once again headed to Twitter to talk about the upcoming game, this time taking a break from discussing members of his development team. First he discussed the Dolls (mechs) and world size.

 The Dolls’ height is about five times that of an adult, making them around 9-10 metres high. This was calculated as the best human-to-robot ratio when taking fights or field exploration with both Dolls and humans present into consideration. If the Dolls were bigger than that, the map would also need to be bigger, so we decided upon this size not due to budget constraints, but because it would lead to much slower exploration in human form.

He went on to say that he finally has met a challenge.

15 years have passed since Monolith was founded, and I believe that with this game I have finally met the challenge I had within me, of creating an RPG in which humans and robots can co-exist.
