Well according to direct last DLC is going to be released in Dec 31, 2023 and even without Torna XC2 meaty game, I expect same thing with XC3.
Yeah I think it will be like that too. Heroes really are like rare blades from a core crystal.
Nah you can skip that stuff if it's not appealing to you. The better a big jrpg adventure is, the more optional stuff it should have so it has a longer life. What bothers me is that lots of cool stuff I got to play with on my first playthrough in XC2 won't be there in XC3 for years. I had Elma and Corvin and all the challenge modes and costumes and stuff on my first playthrough, plus whatever patches they used to make it perform better after launch. And I can't possibly resist the longing to play it at launch day, I'm way too hype.
Monolith Soft earn my trust enough that I buy any of their game day one regardless what reviews it gets and what anybody else think of the game.
Yeah lot if people mentioning this game has lot of reference to Xenogears.I've been watching some reaction of the direct, some more things that I found. I really impressed by the cloth/hair physics. Even in the simple cutscene, Mio's hair sways perfectly.
The "monado" arms on Noah looks really similar to the armor of the Mr. Wild Ride team.
Also
Yup, people said the reference for gears/saga are more obvious now.
And same day as Digimon Survive
I'm planning to, if it's anything like XC2 expansion then it's more than worth the money.
No reason to buy it right away. It's possible it may be released physically if you're into that.
I'm confused... how old are the main characters then? They look 16/17-ish
They did a bad job explaining it, but I think what was implied is they have 10 years once they start their service. So there's probably an age when they're officially drafted.
Yes.
Yea I haven't seen that talked about much. Does seem that people are literally mass produced in pods, hell, one of those ouroborous dudes even says "we can just grow more". This game is looking to have some very dark themes. Can't wait.
This game feels weird to me... I enjoyed both prior games (and X), however the only thing this direct did was make me not want to play it.
I don't know if it's the characters or the design or what... the theatre setting for the bad guys sure didn't help I know that.
This one though just is not doing it for me, I think im going to wait and see this time rather than buying the CE like last time.
I'm not just trolling here, this just looks really disappointing to me.
There is a big theory that most people in Xenoblade 3 are artificially made…basically clones.
Iirc, doesn't Melia
make an omnious statement about the rift and the future of what's to come...
The theater type scenes and the reddish/pink group (not sure what those people are called) is very Xenogears. Hell, one dude reminds me of Grahf with his helmet.This game feels weird to me... I enjoyed both prior games (and X), however the only thing this direct did was make me not want to play it.

I myself love that theatre framing, the whole vibe of Xenoblade 3 is really getting me super excited.
I liked the fusion combos and orbs, but they made the combat too slow, it took too long for a combar to actually take off and were basically only useful for long battles (like with bosses or unique monsters), that said, that also felt like an excuse to make normal combats longer than desired, many times I just ran from a monster because I knew I would spend more time than desired fighting it and probably others behind me and, you know, the game is already long enough
Thanks, gonna do so, I'm literally gonna buy DE just to play FC lol, I just like Xenoblade that much!

The boobs were the best part
I feel like Future Connected isn't even important to its own plot. I love Xenoblade everything but that really felt like a game where nothing remarkable happens. I guess that doesn't mean they can't squeeze some significance out of it somehow.
They were mass produced in a pod, just like everyone else said. Mio is 19 years old, and in the trailer Vandham said she only have 3 months left. My guess is that they start at 10 years old after getting out of the pod.
Hmm I'd really have to disagree. They even said at the time of release it will have major implications for the future of the series. Also, in this latest trailer there's a shot of what is pretty clearly Alcamoth and it's surrounded by fog. Coincidence?
What do you mean? The main protagonists are Noah and Mio, but all 6 party members are the protagonist. Each one will get highlights in the story.
I mean, when it says protagonists are Noah and Mio, does that mean you spend part of the game playing as Noah (viewing story through his eyes etc) and vice versa?
Oh, We won't switch between storyline. All party members will go together as the main character
Ok thanks.
Not a coincidence. I'm sure Alcamoth and Melia and the fog king and the circle designs on Shulk's clothes in Future Connected that the Keves characters also have will all have some sort of explanation. And as you say they did state it would have implications for the future. But after the dramatic mind bending cosmic revelations of the finales in XC1 and XC2 I'm saying that playing through Future Connected was shockingly underwhelming in terms of anything interesting happening. Just my opinion but if there was anything in the Xenoblade universe I would consider skippable, it would be Future Connected.
Basically, Future Connected is just a fanservice. You get it for free, focused on Melia (fan favorite), brought back scrapped content (bionis shoulder), expanded the Teelan sidequest (interesting story), and more story for Tyrea. While at it, they also add some setup for Xenoblade 3.
