I found myself struggling to understand who it was for, exactly. The Torna DLC is at odds with itself in so many ways. Torna ~ The Golden Country uses its setting to primarily explore the backstory of Lora and Jin, two of some of the most important characters in the base story… and because of that, it’s really hard to write about the events that occur in Torna for any readers who might be interested in trying out this game without playing the original. However, that doesn’t mean the DLC is void of spoilers of the game its based on, but much rather the opposite. Torna takes place 500 years prior to the events of Xenoblade 2 (which I will refer to as XC2 from now on).
This whole setup proves to be both a blessing and a curse, making Xenoblade 2: Torna ~ The Golden Country (one big mouthful) an extremely interesting experience to talk about. If Nintendo had come out of the gate announcing Torna to be a Xenoblade 2 spinoff rather than what it turned out to be, not a single person would’ve batted an eyelid.
This DLC is essentially its own unique game – not even requiring the original released to be played, if so desired.
In an extremely uncharacteristic move from Nintendo, Monolith Soft have come out with the Xenoblade franchise’s biggest piece of DLC ever – Torna ~ The Golden Country, a standalone expansion.
