Returning Players Can Collect Some Bonus Gold In Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition - Nintendo Life

It's always nice when a game offers some extra goodies for existing fans.

In the case of Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition, players who already have a Xenoblade Chronicles 2 save on their Nintendo Switch will receive 100,000 gold to kickstart their adventure.

After booting up Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition on Switch for the first time, I noticed a little bonus pop-up right before I was able to take control of Shulk!

Dubbed a "XC2 Player Bonus," you'll get a free 100,000G (gold) starting sum if you have a save file for Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

Keep in mind, though, this is a one-time offer - so if you decline it you won't be able to redeem it after you've started your game!

When he’s not paying off a loan to Tom Nook, Liam likes to report on the latest Nintendo news and admire his library of video games.

His favourite Nintendo character used to be a guitar-playing dog, but nowadays he prefers to hang out with Judd the cat?

Why is the title "Returning Players" when XC has been on 2 previous systems - Wii and New 3DS - but people who played that game, you know the actual returning players, don't appear to get anything but if you played an entirely different game you get something.

@rjejr they probably meant returning players to the franchise within the Switch ecosystem.

I’ve never played Xenoblade Chronicles.

@BabyYoshi65 I personally can't speak for Xenoblade Chronicles (though I will be able to in about a day!), but Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is fantastic.

I hear constant good things about Xenoblade Chronicles though, and most of those who've played both 1 and 2 prefer the original!

Xenoblade Chronicles X is also great, but I didn't get as into it, though I'd like to give it another shot!

@DriftFDs Maybe these games will be on my Switch wish list next.

2 is my least favorite, but even saying that, that game is amazing?

Most of the best gear in this game tends to be quest rewards!

Plus, if they played XC2 before XC then they aren't returning, they're going back in time

People who played Xc first might be returning to that universe to play XC2, but it just doens't work for me to say people who played the second game are returning to play the first, especially not when the first game has already been on 2 consoles and those should be the people who are getting something for double dipping

They are the ones who are truly 'returning" to a game they've already played, and presumably already paid for

I played the original at my cousin's house on his Wii a while back, and it was a phenomenal game

You played XC2 on the console

You count as a returning players and that's it
