Xenoblade Chronicles 2 will also be getting another update early next year. It will add New Game+ with the ability to recruit certain Blades, functionality to send story-related blades like Pyra and Dromarch on merc missions, and you’ll be able to unlock certain Blades’ level 4 move.

The first update is slated for December 21 (December 20 in North America), according to Takahashi. The second patch should be available around the time of the Quests Pack from the Expansion Pass in January.

So we'll just have more Blades in 2nd playthrough? I'd wish they make important Blades as playable characters.

And nothing about shutting the horrible lootbox system to get the Blades... This must be the major source of dissatisfaction imo, more than map issues.

The lootbox system hasn't gotten any flack really since 1) it's not tied to microtransactions and 2) the game showers you with a huge number of cores.  As for Blades being playable characters, within the context of the game's lore and setup that doesn't really work.
