Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Switch 2 Edition Fixes Field Skills for All Blades Ahead of July 30 Launch

Summary
Players in Australia and New Zealand found the Switch 2 Edition now counts every Blade toward Field Skill checks, removing the need to constantly reshuffle equipped lineups.
Field Skills were one of the original game's biggest pain points, forcing players through dense menus and sometimes heavy grinding to clear elemental or traversal barriers.
Nintendo had not previously highlighted the change, and players are still testing how the new system totals skills across large Blade rosters.
The updated edition also adds built-in gameplay recording support, a feature missing from the original Switch release, before the wider July 30 launch.
