[@colinmunro3158]

There's so much to say about the Xenoblade Chronicles series. 1 was the swan song for the Nintendo Wii, and single handedly revived the jRPG genre in Western markets. 2 was one of the first great jRPGs on the Switch. Torna The Golden Country proved that the series could utilize self-contained mini story arcs in the form of DLC to supplement the main campaign and provide further context and world building. Definitive Edition brought the original to Switch with key QoL improvements, and a proper epilogue in the form of Future Connected. 3 tied up the stories of 1 and 2 in a neat little bow while going out with a bang. Future Redeemed provides the ultimate fan service while exploring a key point in time before the events of the base game. Prior to Xenoblade Chronicles 3 I would have argued that Mass Effect had the best trilogy in gaming, but now that Xenoblade Chronicles is a trilogy it is the best by far. I learned a lot about a wide variety of philosophical topics from playing the Xenoblade Chronicles trilogy, reinforcing in me many life lessons. These games genuinely inspired me to be a better more compassionate human being by exposing me to traumatic experiences in a safe environment. Every Xenoblade Chronicles game explores a main philosophical dilemma among others in lesser detail. However, unlike the works of Hideo Kojima it doesn't take a whole decade for Xenoblade fans to realize what the key message of the game is. Xenoblade Chronicles games openly invite us to ponder what we truly value and how we can move toward our values with the actions we take in our daily lives. Thankfully IRL it doesn't take a Monado to change the future. Each and every one of us is changing the future right now, and nothing ever stays the same.

[@Fabio-ql5yf]

@@Tom-101 Glad to hear it! Like you mentioned though it’s a slow burn (an absolutely amazing one), the first entry in each arc is usually the introduction so definitely take your time to soak in the character-/worldbuilding, lore etc. When it goes down though, it REALLY goes down so you’re in for an insane ride man! :D Btw.: One of my favorite things, and arguably one of the strongest parts of the series are the NPCs, so please take my advice and try to talk to all/ or most of them. (You probably noticed by now that they update each time something happens in the story) It really makes the series something special. To quote a review I’ve read which I couldn’t have said better myself: „[…]All of which is to say: Care breeds care. The Trails series has had a lot of love and care put into every aspect of it, and that care is rewarded by the people who invest time in it. It’s hardly surprising that there are so few games like Trails [of Cold Steel]. Games like this take time, from both developer and player, for diminishing commercial returns. When you spend this much time building a world this rich and deep, and then fill it with characters that feel so real, you have to also give them the time to let them breathe. But I feel like as gaming goes down the hill towards trends - DLC, lootboxes, games as service - experiences like Trails are all the more rare and precious. I’ve played hundreds of hours of video games this year, but I can’t remember the last time that I actually cared this much.“ So please don’t be afraid to invest time in it, and honestly it’s a lot of time (1000+ hours for the entire series), but let me tell you: IT IS SO SO WORTH IT!

[@dachking6657]

My favorite work of art just in general. Started strong, continued going just the same, experimenting a bit with each new entry, and then knocked it out of the park and straight out of the stratosphere. If you’re reading this comment specifically on this video and have never played the games: well, first off, have fun. Second off, I’ll provide a guide for a play order. Really, you can pick whichever one you want to try out first; if you’re huge into fantasy type stuff with a focus on story itself and how characters connect to it, go for Definitive Edition. Xenoblade 1 has probably the strongest narrative from a technical point of view; by the end, it really never fails to win over just about anyone with its myriad plot twists and super incredible universe-building. I’ll be honest, 2 is messy at times, but that combined with its overall quality does lead it to have the strongest emotional core of any of the games in the series. I’ve noticed that all a large number of people need for a story to work for them is a decent villain; well, 2 is generally agreed to have the best lineup of antagonists in the whole series by quite a large margin. On top of that, the world is somehow more defined in terms of its towns, residents, and cultures (the different peoples literally have different real-world accents accordingly in the English dub), and it still looks gorgeous to this day. Torna also adds a lot to the overall package, although it’s so big and can stand on its own, so a lot of people actually consider it to be its own entity entirely. (Torna even has its own combat system! Which, by the way, 2 in general improved upon greatly in the interim since 1) Finally, 3. It’s incredible. The story is really excellent, the combat is generally agreed to be the best in the series (I personally prefer 2’s, but I’m in a minority), the line between side content and main content is incredibly blurry just because of how quality the former is, the main party is almost certainly the best in the series, if not games in general; I need to stop. To be honest, 3’s main strong suit is it’s gameplay; despite how good the narrative is, plainly seen in reactions from newcomers starting with it, fans actually generally find it to be weaker than both 1 and 2 overall (and as much as I regret it, I have to agree). However, that might be a reason to start with 3, and then go back through the series and have fun getting context for random things while also watching stories unfold that you just might enjoy more and more, getting maximum enjoyment from a story perspective. Despite all of that, I would naturally recommend just going in order. If you do that, *please* don’t forget to try out Torna as well; I’ve noticed a lot of people got trigger happy and went straight for 3, not realizing that Torna is a whole nother game in its own right and not just a disposable add-on. Future Connected isn’t necessary, but it’s also pretty fun and comes bundled with Definitive Edition for free. TLDR; All of em are incredible, doesn’t matter which you start with, play them in order if you can, don’t forget about Torna. If you took the time to read all of this, thank you. Go for it. I love this series so much, just as many others do; you might love it just as much. It doesn’t matter if you normally don’t like RPGs, this series is different and has made tons of people who also didn’t like RPGs into fans. Pick one, try it, and see if you like it. Find an LP and watch an episode or two (not the finales though! Big spoilers!) At the very least, pick a soundtrack and give it a listen. That alone might catch your attention. No matter what, though, have fun. Thanks for your time, and have an awesome, blessed day.

As a massive fan myself, i agree and wish for more people to experience this journey themselfes :)

Ive only played 2 and I’m doing 3 right now (with torna on the side with 1/4 of the game done) and yeah I see your point on the 3, but still felt more connected to the character of the 3 rather than the 2, since like you said sometimes the story feel a little weird, but overall almost godlike to played it through confinement and I also feel more connected to the character of the 3 because of the hole storyline around time since it’s hard to know how to use your time this time around with all the possibilities the world offer. Still gonna do the definitive edition in the future after I’m done with the 3 and crisis core reunion that I want to try out

[@SlayXay]

IM CRYING WTF😭😭😭 Im almost done with the first game. Going to start the 2nd soon after. This game is truly a masterpiece.

[@SparksOpus]

Absolutely :D Enjoy the rest of your journey!

[@KyogresHideout_Vegito2121]

I might actually use this trailer to convince some new people to give the series a shot.

[@Gio-uu5vg]

This video is so well made, had chills multiple times throughout the video, amazing job ❤

[@bluesthename]

Holy hell. Thank was so good. Perfectly captured the essence of these games

[@kass1089]

Holy moly. I got waves of goosebumps over and over again. MAGNIFICENT WORK!

[@SparksOpus]

Really really glad that you liked it, thank you

[@neme6ben]

Thie will go down as one of the greatest trilogy in video games

[@MarkusHobelsberger]

You caught the spirit of Xenoblade in just under 5 minutes there. That's some serious accomplishment.

[@yobin3711]

I respect the use of Nintendo's own tactic of "put a raw Isurd line in there to make it seem way more important than he really is"

[@SparksOpus]

I mean... it's the way that he said it :D Definitly a great tactic for a good trailer!

[@trueNahobino]

Yeah seriously, people were expecting him and Nimue to be the Lora and Jin of Xenoblade 3 before the game released.

[@poucha6542]

Honestly, amazing trailer. I come back from time to time specifically to re-watch this video, thank you for your work and your dedication :).

[@SparksOpus]

Always happy to hear that c: Thank you for the nice comment!

[@rebeccahannah117]

I love the Xenoblade games so much, even though I’ve played and beaten them all, I wish I could re-experience the games again! Each game’s story is just amazing! ❤️😭

[@merye7474]

The choice of the OST for this video is PERFECT

[@sossoptitesvagounettes1952]

Damn I love this video... The feelings, the music, the beauty of those games... Damn do I love every bit of this video. Thanks a lot, champ, I'll spread this to all my surroundings.

[@SparksOpus]

Glad you liked it! I sure hope that the video brings in new people to the series, sooo... thanks for doing your part :D

[@valrend7374]

Brilliant, spectacular, wonderful, thank you so much for making this.

[@SparksOpus]

I should thank you for watching it :) Really glad that you liked it!

[@AdabatOfficial]

Amazing stuff! Sadly there are some things in here that I personally wouldn't include-- including: ... Mio's long hair, Noah's Chapter 5 jail speech, Alvis using the Monado Mio's long hair raises suspicion and is a pretty big one, Noah's Ch5 speech is something I would want to hear for the first time in game, and Alvis using the Monado may ruin that insane feeling of seeing someone other than Shulk/Dunban wield the Monado better than both of them for the first time. I am glad that someone made this! And you did a really good job too! For the people who played all the games, this is like a reminder of the beautiful journeys we experienced.

[@olfelx]

Also Rex's master driver outfit.

[@flamingfirepillar6005]

i also wouldnt include the monado II either

[@ajbXYZcool]

Only thing I'd say is sometimes something people think of as spoilers aren't really until context is given, and once someone has that context, usually they've forgotten the spoiler. Like, why is Rex's new outfit a spoiler? It only suggests a costume change as they have no way of knowing why that change is important. Why is the Monado II a spoiler? Stuff like that.

[@AdabatOfficial]

@@ajbXYZcool I know what you're saying but at the same time, there's a reason trailers don't include small details that are potentially big spoilers. Some people do overanalyze. Other people randomly pause the video and notice something is off and then begin to draw their own conclusions from those things. Others are halfway thru the respective games and, seeing small details puts together pieces that they otherwise wouldn't have. Someone who was halfway thru xc3 got mio's long hair spoiled to them in these very comments. I could make a case for all of these things not being in the video, and theres a reason none of them were shown in any official trailer for the games: the beauty of experiencing things unspoiled. there's a difference between "WOW i did not expect that" and "WOW now that one clip I saw makes sense"

[@fourthstrongest]

@@ajbXYZcool mio's hair is definitely more of a spoiler since there's no way she's growing all that out in three months but everything else yeah people exaggerate a bit on what is and isn't a spoiler in a trailer without context. we get to see bloody knuckle noah in the trailer and i wouldn't go back and say it spoiled anything about the game to me, if anything misled, which is also something trailers may try to do to pull in bigger audiences
