We just learned why there are so many female Rare Blades for Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and we have four more with Menou, Kasane, Tsuki, and Nanakoori, plus the blade-wielding Rare blade Wadatsumi.
Here are the latest Rare Blades to be introduced from oldest to newest on the official Twitter account of the game:
