Story behind the Texture Pack

I was Super sad to Hear that Due to Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition out now for Nintendo Switch. Xenoblade Chronicles HD Texture Pack v8.52 was no longer going to be worked on or completed. so, i decided to use DolphinTextureExtraction.tool and extract the textures straight off of the Disc. over 8000 texture PNGs enhanced 4x using REAL ESRGAN Models trained in Enhancing Video game textures. While not as good as Xenoblade Chronicles HD Texture Pack v8.52 Hand Draw remade textures i feel it's more complete and hope more people will jump on Board to help make it even better.

You are also welcome to use any textures from the other pack. You can build off it, use specific textures, branch off and do your own thing, or even continue it officially if you want to. Long ago, I reached out to pretty much everyone who ever worked on it to see if they would agree to license the pack with a very liberal license CC0. The ones who did respond did not mind, so the pack is free to do anything with. I think its better to have one good pack with the best textures, than competing packs where some are better and some aren't. Whatever you decide, you have my blessing.

if it wasn't for you guys the texture pack wouldn't have existed. the only reason i started was because of the fact it wasn't going to be updated due to the Definitive Edition being out. which in my opinion and from dumping the game and looking at the files themselves isn't really "Definitive Edition" just a port of the Wii Version so none of the textures were touched. But thank you for encouraging

Hey everyone, i was a bit over excited and it turns out currently v1 isn't 100 percent complete. some environment and building textures were missed in the dumping process. as you all know i am not playing the game but dumping the textures straight off of the disc to save time. hopefully v2 will be 100 percent and then with the blessing from Bighead hopefully v3 will be the definitive version with my upscales mixed in with theirs to give the best version possible for everyone.
