'''''Xenoblade Chronicles''''', known in Japan as ''Xenoblade'' (ゼノブレイド, ''Zenobureido)'', is a console role-playing game, and the first of the ''Xeno'' series to make it to a Nintendo console. Originally not intended to be released in North America, a massive fan movement called [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Rainfall Operation Rainfall] convinced Nintendo to publish it in more regions.

The game follows a young man named Shulk, who wields the titular Xenoblade – an energy blade called the Monado – against the Mechon in order to ultimately save the world. The game world is designed to give the feeling of freedom and scope to the player; the environment is massive and most of it is available for exploration right from the start. Xenoblade uses a real time battle system, allowing the player to control his movement and attacks at will while party members attack automatically.

=== "Reading Disc" Screen Taking a Long Time ===
If Vsync is enabled and External Frame Buffer (XFB) emulation is disabled, the "Reading Disc" screen that is shown while the game is starting will take a long time to finish. This is because the game uses an uncapped framerate during that specific screen. To avoid this issue, you can simply set External Frame Buffer emulation to Virtual or disable Vsync in Dolphin.
If Vsync is enabled and Immediately Present XFB is enabled, the "Reading Disc" screen that is shown while the game is starting will take a long time to finish. This is because the game uses an uncapped framerate during that specific screen. To avoid this issue, you can simply disable Immediately Present XFB or Vsync in Dolphin.

=== Texture Flickering ===
=== Texture Flickering ===
With D3D, the sky in Makna Forest is glitched, as the ocean texture from the above area is flickering through. Use OpenGL or disable Fast Depth Calculation to prevent this from happening.

=== <s>Random Crashing</s> ===
In {{revision|5.0-683}} or newer, the game will crash randomly (though somewhat infrequently) with an invalid opcode due to GPU desynchronization caused by incorrect interrupt timings. This affects both dual core and single code mode, no matter what settings are used. This issue is questionable. Please refer to [https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-why-the-compatibility-downgrade-on-xenoblade-on-the-wiki Xenoblade Compatibility Downgrade] for further information until it's fully resolved.
