It turns out the weather will be a factor to adapt to in the upcoming Wii U exclusive RPG Xenoblade Chronicles X. Siliconera reports that game director Koh Kojima has talked about the inclusion online:
"The idea of having a different monsters appear in the fields at day and night was already a feature in Xenoblade Chronicles. In Xenoblade Chronicles X, we have also made it so that weather affects the battles.
It isn't just a visual effect, but is fully featured in battle tactics. Tuning the weather change cycle was fairly hard work, though..."
