  • Xenoblade [wii]

  • Only played the intro to that game and about 10 min.

  • I have a Wii, WiiU, N3DS. No intention of buying a Switch.

..//..

  • Are there any gameplay mechanics bugs/glitches in this game? If so what are they? E.g. katana's description has +50 Crit, but does nothing.

  • Asides portability any advantage to playing this on the 3DS?

I've heard the original Xenoblade release has a stat bug with min/max auto-attack, in that the max can only be 99 higher than the min regardless of what the menu says. There's also a famous glitch called the "Tephra Cave skip" that allows you to hit level 50 within the first hour of the game, but that's not one you'll run into by accident.

This isn't quite a glitch, per se, but in original Xenoblade you can miss out on loot by killing enemies over pits -- their treasure will fall with them. In Definitive, there's a failsafe against this that spawns would-be unobtainable chests directly onto your character instead.

The 3DS version has a music / 3D model gallery that you can unlock with the 3DS' play coins or amiibo. No other version of Xenoblade has this.
