My one big issue with Xenoblade 2

Well, I had a few issues with it. But there's one thing that's quite puzzling and couldn't be patched out or ignored.
Getting this out the day Xenoblade 3 comes out. Nothing like a deadline to get things done.

I always took it as enemeny drivers you know... Having more then one core crystal.

So they're just carrying around extra cores they aren't bonded to for no particular reason? It's never explicitly said that they aren't, but other than specifically transporting cores, which is shown to be done with high security as Torna keeps attacking core transports to steal them, why would random soldiers have extra cores around?

I’m pretty sure you just knock them out and rob them, as for super bosses, would you rather have that rare drop that only one enemy can give you be impossible to get unless you play the entire game again or just refight the fuy

[@dominicjannazo7144]

Well, this gets into changes to the Gacha system, but I would like unique rare drops, it's weird the arachno is the only enemy with a unique blade you fight, instead of optional bosses holding some of the other rare blades. As for respawns, they're just more poor suckers you kill, unless you're going to question every single respawning enemy. They only have generic blades. The unique monsters are a clear gameplay mechanic where you choose to make them respawn to fight them again at their tomb.

Why is it so hard for you to believe that an enemy can carry more than one core crystal? And if you want to go by "We know the driver is dead by the blade going back to its core" then why do those enemies come back with (I believe) the exact same blade every time?
