Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is Releasing on July 29, 2022



"Hero" is a special character who cooperates with Noah and participates in the party. In order to join a hero, you also need to complete a special quest "Hero Quest" to deepen the bond. Traveling around the world and looking for new heroes seems to be fun too!



"One hero can join the party too. Once you become a friend, you can switch from the menu! I also want to ask for help according to my strategy."


"As you get closer to your fellow heroes, the six Noahs will be able to change classes to the same class as the heroes! The hero is not only the 7th person to participate, but also a super-reliable existence that expands the range of Noah's skills (arts)!"
 
Has it been confirmed that Hero's are controllable party members or just NPCs in battle?

So here I am again like the fly that won't stop buzzing by your ears.

So this design was leaked today, of a character skin in Genshin Impact. I feel like it's got the same look and feel of Noah's look, but much more visually interesting without being overdesigned. Obviously take the flame effects out of the equation and look just at the outfit itself.

Something with a bit of flavor on it. A motif. some "flair" if you will. I wish something like this was Noah's default design. Then when you change classes/jackets to other party members, their flair could still be there, but slightly different for each character. Like the logo thing on the shoulder could be a little cat paw or a bottle of wotah or something for Mio.
Looks like Himeko from Honkai Impact, HoYoverse another game

HoYoverse (Mihoyo) is famous for copying other games lol

Don't forget that Noah also have the gauntlet thing

That's a good point. There's a non-zero chance that the cast will get visual upgrades throughout the game, like Rex did.

I'm slowly coming around to being ok with the designs, but I still think there was a lot of room from where they left the default designs to what they could have done without looking too flashy or tacky.

Mmmmm….Shulk upgraded his Monado and Rex became master driver, we could see same thing happen in XC3, either he upgrade his sword and gauntlet or gain new Ouroboros form.

I see those screens and just wanna scream at the universe.

Why can't Xenoblade play like Star Ocean?

The fun action battle system and the item/equipment crafting.

Not the mmo-ish mess it actually is?!

Arrgggghhhhhhhh

Because we already have bunch of action RPGs and even Final Fantasy turn in to action combat now.

I like Xenoblade combat system A LOT, it's big part of Xenoblade's identity, same way Press Turn is for SMT series.

You want Action RPG, play Tales of or upcoming Star Ocean game.

Did you know that Star Ocean 6 is coming out October 27th? You can play that instead.

I think Xenoblade system is a more appropriate evolution of turn based system, you still have to think like position and buff/debuff.
 
Nah. More action rpgs. Especially since Star Ocean has imo the best craft/creation mechanics coming from Japan.

And I was aware, yes.

I plan on buying both but one I do hold higher.

Again you can just play Star Ocean when it comes, not every game needs to have same type of combat system, I like variety in my games.

If you study the information on the Japanese sites carefully like a proper weeb, you realise that there are akshully SIX Noahs.

We already controlling 6 characters in battle and we do get their class.
6 Noahs
Don't forget that Noah also have the gauntlet thing

Technically there are 6 Noahs with iron man gauntlets that can shoot repulsor blasts
 
She is the new Hero!? I like her weapon!

Edit:


She is a mysterious person who does not belong to Keves or Agnus. Although she has a small physique, she has a good sense of fighting and fights with her fists. She is a brave person who never loses to a huge enemy! It seems that there are always two escorts and they are called "lady"!

She is probably from Sword March.
 
Until Nintendo can actually combat bots this is a completely pointless waste of time on their end.

If I were in charge somebody would be let go for this level of public incompetence and embarrassment.

At this point they may as well sell directly to the scalpers 😂

Update: I somehow actually got one! I would suggest to just keep at it as hopefully this is a sign that they are actually weeding out and banning the bot accounts and orders

Fuck! Got as far as entering credit payment.Got back processing error. Tried to enter new card. Boom back o Queue. 20 mins later got in sees 1 time in cart icon. Lets check out...nope empty cart. Refresh.....boom back to queue you go!!! sigh
 
Hey I just wanted to say I was able to go in and order one. I used my phone and it took about 15 minute to go in and order. I know this is a long shot so please don't be disappointed but It was suggested by Wario64 on twitter. I left my browser running just in case. After the order I still have no confirmation email from Nintendo but my CC company says the charge occurred. Good luck! and I hope this helps others out.

I got to the purchase page for confirming order, got put into the stupid too many people here thing where I sat for an hour before it loaded the we are sold out message. I'm so sick of gaming and their inability to produce enough CEs to cover for more them 20 minutes. I miss being able to walk into a store and place an order after thinking about it. I'm in the process of being screwed out of my AI CE preorder from Target as I type this out too. I'm fine with companies wanting to sell the item direct, but ffs Nintendo does not have the site and online capabilities to do this themselves
 
YMMV: I was in queue all day long and had a preorder in my cart. Around 2:00pm got the "we have a lot of visitors...." message until 5:00pm and the pre-order in my cart read sold out. I clicked on the game in my cart it took me back to the game page, I clicked pre-order again, it added it to my cart (it did remove the one that was there) and I was able to purcahse the game.

This was at 5:25pm CST (10 min or so ago).
