>>114010733I recently played Xenoblade Chronicles, and that game taught me that worldbuilding=/=lore.
The game laids it bare for you to know, and it doesn't take away from the story or the worldbuilding any bit. The only lore is the extinct Giant race a character belongs to, that's irrelevant to the plot.
The story is so magnificently easy to grasp and understand, yet captivating, that there's absolutely no need for a prequel or sequel, it's awesome.
The only way they had to do sequel is by having it take place on another dimension, loosely tied by some characters and plot points.
