Désirée's Future (Japanese: デジレーンの将来, Dejirēn no Shōrai) is a quest in Xenoblade Chronicles. It can be received from Désirée north of the Commercial District of Colony 9. This quest will be available once Satorl Marsh is accessible, meaning the Ether Mine events cleared with Xord defeated, as occurs a special one-of-a-kind conversation with Désirée about her father who was a fine blacksmith killed in the Battle of Sword Valley. After this conversation about her father, it is also required to have completed the quest Jackson's Awakening, to have a Colony 9 affinity of ☆4.5, and Shulk as party leader.
