Like many open-world games, Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition features a dynamic weather system. As Shulk and friends explore the Bionis, they’ll come across rain, snow, fog, and more. The weather conditions aren’t just a cosmetic change either; different enemies and bosses will spawn in the world depending on the current weather. Certain side quests require you to defeat enemies that only spawn during certain weather conditions, so it’s important to know how to manually change the weather in Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition. This guide details exactly how to change the weather in Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition, allowing you to summon rain, thunderstorms, and dense fog on command.

How to Change the Weather in Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition

The weather in Xenoblade Chronicles is randomized, so there isn’t a guaranteed way to get the conditions you’re looking for. However, you can change the time repeatedly until you get lucky and the weather changes. Weather conditions appear to be on a 12-hour cycle, changing only when the time of day does, so it’s best to fast forward the clock by 12 hours at a time to change the weather. Certain weather conditions are only available in certain locations (it cannot snow on Gaur Plains, for example), but that won’t really have an effect on you, as any side quests that require a change in weather won’t ask for anything impossible.

Weather plays a role in tons of Xenoblade Chronicles side quests. Early on in the game, a side quest called Challenge 1 – Part 1 is available at the Refugee Camp in Gaur Plains. This quest tasks you with defeating a unique monster named White Eduardo, who only appears at Raguel Lake during a thunderstorm. To summon a thunderstorm in Xenoblade Chronicles, simply change the time of day until the weather changes. This shouldn’t take too long, and once you have the right weather conditions, White Eduardo will spawn. Gaur Plains features two types of weather, rain and thunderstorms, so make sure you have a thunderstorm on your hands and not just plain rain in order to find White Eduardo.

What about Eroge?

Once again, let’s define our term first.

An eroge; a portmanteau of erotic game: is a Japanese pornographic video game genre.

~ Wikipedia, April 7^th, 2015

Well, that’s pretty short. However, once again, you get the point. Though this doesn’t explain why an Eroge would be considered a Visual Novel. To do that, we need to look at what a modern Eroge is.

Modern Eroge are often also called Hentai games and usually take the Visual Novel style, add dating sim elements, and, of course, sexual conduct. It’s these types of games that usually find their way to the West and the ones most of us are familiar with. Some of these games are very simple and, yes, are flat-out porn. Then again, with names like Boob Wars: Big Breasts vs Flat Chests (2010), SSSS: Super Secret Sexy Spy (2010) and Do You Like Horny Bunnies? (2001), what exactly are you expecting? These types of games can be further classified as Nukige, which are made with the focus of fulfilling the sexual gratification of the player.

One of the most infamous “classic” Eroge.

However, if you think all Eroge are like this, you’d be gravely mistaken. There are plenty of Eroge out there that, instead, focus on just telling a compelling story full of drama and romance. And, do you know what? As much as we often forget, sex is part of romance.

There are numerous examples of games in this genre that fall under this category and helped pioneer storytelling elements that are still in use today. Take, for example, Kana: Little Sister (1999), a game that falls into what’s known as Utsuge, or “depressing game” genre.

It’s the story about Takamichi Todo and his younger sister Kana… who happens to suffer from a kidney disease. Considering this falls under the Utsuge genre, you can guess how serious her condition is. It’s a game that, despite its sexual content, and, by today’s standards, being a cliché storm, still manages to reduce people to tears to this day because of its emotional plot and how delicately it handles Takamichi and Kana’s relationship, both as brother and sister and as it starts to become something more over the ten years during which the game takes place.

Let’s also take Koihime Musou ~ A Heart throbbing, Maidenly Romance of the Three Kingdoms~ (2007), which, before it became an anime series, was an Eroge that clocked in at well over 30 hours to complete 100%.

Before it became the Yuri-tastic anime you know, it was a massive romance and drama-filled Eroge.

High school student Kazuto Hango finds himself suddenly transported to an alternate version of China’s “Three Kingdoms” era, where almost all the famous generals are now female, and finds himself mistaken as a messenger from heaven. While, at first, reluctant to even deal with anything going on, over the course of the story, he starts to grow closer to the various generals under his command and starts to develop into a kind and thoughtful ruler overall, treating his subjects and generals like friends and family and always putting their safety first. Once again, the sexual content is born out of a genuine romantic angle.

To summarize, these games are not always just about boobs, butts and babes. Oftentimes, there’s a lot of thought and creative writing placed into them, even if we dub them taboo due to the sexual content.

So, what about Senran Kagura?

The main reason I spent so much time documenting what an Eroge is was to show just how ridiculous the notion is. But let’s be fair and put it to the test. Once again let’s take a look at the definition of an Eroge.

…a Japanese pornographic video game genre.

The key word here is pornographic, which describes pornography. So, let’s define that real quick.

Xenoblade Romance

Movies, pictures, magazines, etc., that show or describe naked people or sex in a very open and direct way in order to cause sexual excitement

~Merriam-Webster.com, April 7^th, 2015

It’s true that Senran Kagura does contain nudity. However, said nudity is censored, quite hilariously, mind you, and the closest we get to full-on sexual content is the occasional act of female-on-female groping. So, no, it’s not pornographic.

Oh My God! Adorably censored boobs! We can’t allow this atrocity to stand!

In fact, if you compare it to games like Grand Theft Auto V, The Witcher, God of War, Dragon Age: Origins and the Mass Effect series, it
