Oh wow, that's the Monado, The Aegis Blade, and Noah's blade. Foreshadowing?The image for the expansion pass is so beautiful
Our boy Noah seems to be taking up the mantle of Shulk with his "world where everyone can be free",cuz uh….it doesn't seem to have worked out lol.

Wouldn't it be funny if like, for no reason, Tidus's Brotherhood was in the pic just to confuse everybody

There was never any doubt, big Nintendo games always have shitty Amiibo plastic DLC gates to content or cheats.
I hope they've changed things drastically from XB2, like gotten rid of the 30+ hours it took for it to "get good" the world they've crafted is amazing, but the combat is fucking awful for most of the begging of the game, I really wanted to enjoy the game, but god damn, it made it hard to love. Had to quit it though because the story wasn't there it was all just boobies and nonsense.
From this trailer it looks like people are wearing clothes, so that's a difference there. I'm sure that rustles anime wanker's jimmies, but who cares about them.

I wish I knew how that feels. I haven't played Xenoblade X, was hoping they'd port it. Still hoping.

You just need at least 6-cores-12 threads to not have massive stuttering on xeno games. I can run both xeno games at 4k and 50-60 fps

This is not entirely on topic but an interesting observation…
As a huge Xenoblade fan who more recently has fallen headfirst into the Dune universe, there's some really interesting parallels that I'm sure are no coincidence and some inspiration was maybe taken. Shulk is basically the Kwisatz Haderach of the Xenoblade world. There were even Dune references in Xenoblade X. It would be super interesting if there was some messianic Shulk religion on Keeves that sprung up after his (presumed) death. I'd love to see that explored.
Anyway, that's my side tangent.
Loved the direct!

I love that you have different Ouroboros form based who is the lead, I did not expect that.

Monolith Soft have been with Squaresoft, but Square didn't support them. They join Namco, also didn't support them. Nintendo are the only one support their creativity. Xenoblade 2 is the best selling Xeno games, finally beating Xenogears. If you want to play Monolith Soft game that are not under Nintendo's thumb, just play Xenogears and Xenosaga.

Too bad we didn't see the switch for Taion & Eunie. I have a feeling that at the end, all six will fused as one big Ouroboros

I played both XCDE and XC2 1 100 + with not problem, then compare to majority of people on GAF I'm not graphic whore.

I own both PS5 and Switch and play both regularly, I don't have any issues with Xenoblades visuals.

Ninty's strange with this collector's edition.
They'll send the gamecard on release but all the other stuff in autumn?

Yeah, I get the impression that the release being brought forward really caught the production lines out. Bit of the Left hand not knowing what the Right hand is doing. Better than the entire game being delayed so the physical goodies can catch up, but still a bit dodgy.
That said, they know we'll still line up for it so they can get away with it.

Did they give any new info on when/if it will be available again? I'm almost starting to just give up on this thing

I knew this was gonna happen! Hopefully the website is updated the artworks for the new Ouroboros.I love that you have different Ouroboros form based who is the lead, I did not expect that.
And man what an outstanding Direct that was. It went in a lot more detail than I thought it would, and without spoiling too much. I LOVE everything we have seen so far. Noah's Ouroboros surfin on its sword reminds of one attack of Virtual On in Super Robot Wars Alpha 3 where the mech does the same.
I just hope they make exploration less messed up than in Xeno 2 where you follow the destination indicator only to end up nowhere and run in circles. I'd rather they remove it while making the environments easier to read visually, or they keep it but it's actually useful and not misleading.

Combat looks good.
Unfortunately the rest of it looks very XC1ish, which is my least favorite Xeno game.
When is the special edition going up?

Not really about being a "graphic [sic] whore" but not wanting to have to sit through the same performance issues XC2 had. Even in this direct, which one would expect to be their best foot forward, you can see performance woes. The graphical fidelity would be fine if this was the compromise they had to do to get the game performing flawlessly.
. . .we'll know when the game releases, but I doubt we'll see much difference between XC3 and XC2; DF analysis will be interesting for sure.

In Direct they showed you actually can scan the environments that gives nice navigation line. They are basically fixing most of the issue in both XC1&2.

Game looks good but graphics are a bit rough, overworld looks sub-720p ingame outside cutscenes

This game is looking great! Trying to finish the worst xenoblade game (true fans know which one lol) before this comes out.

It was great Direct, and surprisingly they didn't spoil much of the story.

We dont know if Rex/Shulk are part of the challenge quests or actual part of the story.

I'm gonna hope for the latter considering the hints in the game, too.

That depends on the time frame between XC1/2 and XC3, Rex and Shulk might be long dead in the story.

Man that completely went over my head while watching the Direct. I remember her saying something about wanting to take the lead or whatever but I had no idea that's what was happening.
