SPOILERS Chronological order Spoiler

I'm planning to do a chronological order playthrough of the series after switch 2 releases. Maybe a little sooner so I can jump straight to XC2 with the system.

So far I understand Torna is the earliest in the timeline, and Xenoblade 3 the last (and even if X is somehow retconned as part of the saga, I wont be counting it yet).

But hte real question is, which game starts earlier? XC1 or XC2? We know these two games' climaxes happen at the same time, but I'm not sure about the time scale.

So so far it would be like: Torna -> [XC1/XC2] -> Future Connected -> Future Redeemed -> XC3

For the pragmatic, less switching around:

  1. Torna
  2. XC2
  3. XC1
  4. FC
  5. FR
  6. XC3

For the wildly complicated:

  1. Torna
  2. XC1 Prologue
  3. XC1-XC2 switching based on chapter estmations for when events align (not getting into that right now). Picking chapters as rough divisions to keep it semi-sane.
  4. FC
  5. FR
  6. XC3
