He instead proposes that they should aid him in stopping Malos from further destruction. Lora asks if Addam is taking Jin away from her because his Core Crystal has been stolen.

Milton shows up and tells Addam that he found Haze. Addam then shows hidden admiration for Lora's and Jin's battle tactics. The next day, they find a big crater near Feltley Village and meet Addam, the prince of the Tornan royal family and his Blade Mythra who attacked them. While looking for Haze, Lora and her Blade Jin find a young boy named Mikhail in the destroyed Porton Village and decide to look over him. Torna ~ The Golden Country takes place 500 years before the events of the base game in the Kingdom of Torna. Plot Main article: Plot summary of Torna ~ The Golden Country Long story short this game brings forth some of my favorite things about the series in an easy to manage package.Playable characters Team Lora NPC's stories are often connected, giving the main town a really homey feel. However, after completing every side quest I can safely say that they're worth doing. It is worth noting that you will have to do side quests to progress the story at a certain point in the game, which is a big turnoff for many. I'm pretty sure that Monolith got a little better at animating too, as the game looks noticeably better. Enemies drop aux cores that don't need to be refined like in 2, and there isn't any blade switching options. There's no elemental order required to make elemental orbs, so big damage comes easy. In addition, a lot of the mechanics people might find overwhelming in 2 are simplified or removed. Even though you don't get the draw dropping landscapes present in the mainline games, the areas you do explore are interesting in their own right.


It has a lot of the best soundtracks from 2 like Those Who Stand Against Our Path and Counterattack in addition to new jazz fusion-y area and battle themes. It has all of my favorite parts of Xenoblade 2, but none of the cheesiness or cringe. This game is the perfect Xenoblade experience for someone who doesn't want to put 50+ hours into a game.
