Once you finish Xenoblade Chronicless: Definitive Edition, you can either load the save file to continue playing from before the final point of no return or start a new game plus game. If you continue playing, your save file will have a ‘clear’ symbol on it denoting that you have finished the game on that save file. If you select new game plus, you need to know what carries over. Please note that this contains spoilers for Xenoblade Chronicless: Definitive Edition’s base game story.
