The response from fans on social media was overwhelming, with many expressing awe at the sheer volume of script books. Comments ranged from "so awesome" to playful inquiries about purchasing them for personal collections, showcasing the community's deep appreciation for the series.
Looking ahead, while Monolith Soft has not yet announced the next installment in the Xenoblade Chronicles franchise, fans have something to look forward to.
