The Scale of Xenoblade Chronicles
A Mountain of Scripts
Monolith Soft's X (formerly Twitter) post unveiled an impressive collection of script books—multiple, overflowing stacks dedicated solely to the main storyline. The developer pointed out that these are only the main story scripts; separate volumes exist for side quests, further highlighting the sheer volume of writing.
