Nobody in their right mind thought this game was coming out in 2017.

It's only been a little over two years since Monolith finished XCX.

Even if by some miracle it came out this year in Japan, the rest of the world would've had to wait until 2018.

To be fair, Monolith Soft has two separate teams, and the team working on Xenoblade 2 was supposedly working on it at the same time XCX was still in development. 

Their Kyoto studio seems to pretty much only help out with other Nintendo projects though, like Pikmin 3, Animal Crossing, Zelda, etc.

Was it ever confirmed that work on XB2 started before XCX wrapped?
