Here, we get a young woman who has fought for everything she has and is visibly changed because of the events of her life. However, with Lora, it’s the complete opposite. But rather, he was far too innocent and naive, and due to that, some of his dialogue and scenes made my eyes roll. Not because he wasn’t a hero, or wasn’t “pure enough” or some such. One of my biggest complaints about Xenoblade Chronicles 2 ( see my review here!), was that Rex wasn’t the best main character. You play as Lora, a young woman who is caught up in this mess very unintentionally, and alongside her Blade, Jin (who players of the main game will know the significance of), have to help a new team of heroes put down Malos before everything is destroyed. Malos, the evil version of the Aegis, has gone on a rampage, using whatever means at his disposal to quicken both the destruction of the world and the human race. The story itself is set 500 years before the story of Rex, Pyhrra, and the others. In fact, you should play Xenoblade Chronicles 2, regardless. So while you don’t have to play Xenoblade Chronicles 2 to enjoy this, I will say that it helps immensely at times. So much so that Nintendo and Monolith Soft agreed to not just give it out via the Expansion Pass, but also to release a physical copy – which this review is based on. It’s important to note that Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna ~ The Golden Country is meant to be a standalone game. Price: Septem(DLC) / Septem(physical)$29.99 (expansion pass) / $39.99 (physical) Release Date: Septem(DLC) / Septem(physical) Game Name: Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna ~ The Golden Country

Well, I hope that this Torna – The Golden Country Review proves to you that it is. The question now was, would it be worth the purchase? Monolith Soft revealed afterward their plans for a new story chapter/addition that would expand upon the world, which later would be revealed to be a prequel to the game detailing the fall of Torna. Including, in my opinion, giving a heartwarming ending that might just bring a tear to your eye. Indeed, though it took a bit to get running, once the story got its rhythm it truly soared. When Xenoblade Chronicles 2 released, it revealed a whole new world full of life, wonder, and mysteries to be solved.
