The Xenoblade Chronicles 3 art book came out this week in Japan, and it contains a pretty large interview alongside various members of the staff, including executive director / writer Tetsuya Takahashi.
At one point, Takahashi addressed a player survey together a specific topic about the administrator of Origin. This led him to mention that while fans may have some questions and may want to see certain things such as what happens after the end of the game, he’s asking them to wait in exchange for now and answers could follow in the future through additional titles.
Ultimately, Takahashi wants to keep certain things quiet in support of now – again, likely given what Monolith Soft is planning for the future.
Here’s our full translation:
“There are answers in exchange for basically all the questions and points that people wrote in the survey. Simply, I think it may not be necessary to answer any of those things now. Therefore, if we can continue to make things in the future, I think there may come a time when we are able to provide answers. In support of example, we are aware that there are many requests to catch what happens after the ending. But if we do that, then we’d have to journey beyond Xenoblade Chronicles 3. So, I understand how people feel, but in favor of now please wait just a little while. I’d be very grateful if fans continue to eagerly await that.
There are actually principles concerning Origin and the world of Aionios, and in fact the world was made with this reason and that reason behind it. But I won’t say what those reasons are just yet. Yeah… yeah… it’s just nay the right time. So in support of now, it’s best if you think of it as a ‘virtual world’. It’s certainly negative wrong to think of it like that. If you were the person in charge of that world, you could perform anything. That was Z in Xenoblade Chronicles 3, and that’s the story.”
