Issues Fixed
Fixed an issue where common blades resonated to drivers other than Rex were being deleted if the player started a New Game Plus with them assigned to Rex.
We apologize, but even if you update your data, you will be unable to restore your common blades.
Fixed an issue during New Game Plus where the player was unable to acquire a common blade’s affinity gift even after fulfilling the conditions.
Fixed an issue where rare blades that were released were unable to rise above trust level S if they resonated with a character again.
Downloading the update data will set the trust level at S.
In the case that the actual trust level is higher than S, then upon doing something to raise the trust level, it will quickly increase to its actual level.
We have addressed the following problems where effects intended to be applied to blades on standby were only effective when they were deployed in battle.
Core Chips: Some status up types such as “HP MAX Boost”, “Increases the enemy gold drop rate”,”Increases the enemy item drop rate”
Aux Cores：”Hunter’s’ Chemistry”, and “Shoulder to Shoulder”
Poppy’s Skill RAM: Some status up types such as “HP MAX Boost”, “Gold Rush”, “Treasure Sensor”, “Hunter’s Chemistry”, and “Shoulder to Shoulder”.
Common Blade Skills: “Accelerated Growth”, ”Weaponsmaster”, ”Gold Rush”, and “Treasure Sensor”.
Fixed an issue where Patroka’s Evasion Effect Art wasn’t triggering correctly.
Fixed an issue where the player couldn’t advance in the Gormott quest “Whereabouts Unknown”.
Fixed an issue where the player couldn’t advance in the Uraya quest “Marvelous Mercenaries”.
Fixed an issue where the player couldn’t advance in the Mor Ardain quest “We Meet Again”.
Fixed an issue where the minimap and compass wouldn’t display, and fast travel with the X-button would become unavailable.
Fixed an issue where Mythra’s 10% Ether modifier wasn’t being reflected in Rex’s Ether attribute display.
This problem concerned the display of the modifier; it was being applied.
Addressed a problem with crafting field skills such as “Pyra’s Cooking” where you couldn’t continually make things.
Fixed an issue where titles of locations were not displaying when discovering landmarks, locations, and secret areas/viewpoints.
Fixed an issue where blades would cycle backwards for Rex when using blade change if Mythra was engaged.

Now displays the currently held and maximum number of accessories, Aux Cores、and Poppy parts in menus and shops.
Added a function to download the second Expansion Pass quest.
Added a notification page to the menu that contains information about the Expansion Pass.

Poppi Buster
A Rare Blade that can only be obtained by users who purchased the Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Expansion Pass.
The Blade is designed by Masatsugu Saito.
While Poppi is an artificial Blade exclusively for Tora, Poppi Buster is an artificial Blade designed for use by characters other than Tora.
Poppi Buster is obtained via a quest, not through Blade resonance.
What is with the yellow-haired Poppi that rides on its hand? And what is that antenna-looking thing on top of its head? While there may be many things on your mind, please be sure to check them out for yourself by doing the Poppi Buster’s dedicated quest.
T-elos Re:
T-elos Re: is a Rare Blade created with the cooperation of Bandai Namco Entertainment. It is the gift character mentioned in a previous production note rewarded to players who clear the game once.
T-elos Re: appeared as a rival character to KOS-MOS in the Xenosaga series.
The Blade is designed by CHOCO.
Actually, CHOCO, who knew that Kunihiko Tanaka “always kept respect for CHOCO in mind” when designing KOS-MOS Re:, designed this T-elos Re: with both the respect and gratitude “that Tanaka gave to me.”
T-elos Re: is a little cuter than when she appeared in the main story of Xenosaga, but according to CHOCO, the point you should focus on is in the visor.
The character modeler kept CHOCO’s thoughts and point of focus in mind, and modeled the character with complete devotion.
T-elos Re: is a Blade that can be obtained by anyone who has cleared the game. In your clear save data, if a star mark can be seen next to your money count in the menu screen, it means that you are good to meet T-elos Re: through Blade resonance.
Although it will be a lottery from Core Crystals, the resonance rate has been set to be considerably higher, so anyone can resonate with T-elos Re: instantly.

Other Updates
Other updates in version 1.4.0 include:
On and after your second playthrough, Traveling Bards will be able to exchange EXP for Poppi Parts.
New sorting option added to the menu.

Non-Version 1.4.0 Stuff
Starting in May, we plan to add new quests, as well as even more new Rare Blades, challenge battles, an “Extreme” difficulty mode, and more for users who purchased the Expansion Pass.
One particular Rare Blade was designed by a new illustrator and is played by a new voice actor, and will be an Expansion Pass complete original (actually, we just recorded the voice actor’s lines today). Please look forward to it!
