“It’s a wild ride this Passage of Fate.” With this amazing looking game coming out two months sooner than the original timeframe, I’m inclined to agree! So freaking excited, July can’t come soon enough!

[@thequincy_]

It's bizarre how XC3 is suddenly releasing in July, rather than September. The concept of fusing of two cast members into a mechanoid-beast is incredibly cool. There also seems to be a large main cast in battles, which is... interesting.

[@heyoyo10gaming4]

They pushed the release date forward in order to coincide with anti-Christmas I guess

[@joegardner851]

That is so weird. But I remember hearing KZbinrs say that this game was supposed to come out last year. Maybe Nintendo thought they needed more time to polish but it looks like they are ahead of schedule

[@trinity31409]

Hoping that this allows the player to give commands to other party members or switch who we are controlling on the fly. XC2 caused a lot of frustration with crappy AI never doing the right move when I needed it for combos.

[@Novatius]

In Xenoblade Definitive Edition, in the side story, they showcased just how many active characters could be present in a fight with the nopon discovery squad support attacks or whatever. Guess they're making even more use of that with this game in order to have large scale battles, which is SICK

[@Degenerick]

This game looks absolutely incredible and the fact that Nintendo found a way to release it sooner in the summer just makes it even better

[@davidspencer9501]

Although it's nice to see that, I have a feeling that it's becoming the next Fire Emblem. I don't want to say that's a bad thing, but there's already 3 games in the series, and each is focusing on a different story. However, it would be nice to see the characters from the previous games join in for a crossover.

[@cytus5468]

Some observations from the trailer (also posted on reddit) My most major observation is that during the chain attack, if you pause, for a split second the characters eyes flash in either the left or right eye. The fusions are specifically between a left and right pair. Fusions - Noah (right), Mio (left) Eunie (right), Taion (left) Lanz (right), Sena (left) Noah, Eunie and Lanz appear to be from XC1 (Shulk, Melia, Reyn) while Mio, Taion and Sena appear to be from XC2 (Nia, Akhos?, Blade) COINCIDENCE? I THINK NO- Also: 1 - Fusion robot mechs baby, from two people forming a bond and becoming one. Hopefully this means the end of the shipping wars and friendzone as each person seems to have a set partner. However, I also think it might be a more versatile system where you can mix and match pairs of characters to make different mech robots. The system seems to be unsustainable and harmful when done for a prolonged time hence the 'warning' systems we see during combat. 2 - The partner system appears to have replaced the blade system, with each person having a partner as a controllable duo instead of 6 or more separate characters. 3 - Melia and Nia exist, its almost certainly them now, but they don't seem to be the main villains as of the trailer or mentioned much at all. Perhaps they are not the main villains after all or Monolith is deliberately withholding info until a later date as this would be such a massive drop. 4 - A MASSIVE party, with at least 7 or more characters in combat. At least 4+ characters appear to be brand new and able to take part in combat. 5 - So many new characters that I can't name them all. Above all, we have a confirmed nopon party member 6 - 'Ouroboros' seems to be an integral part of the fusion system as per the combat shots 7 - The music is again, a straight bop but with a lot less flute than I expected, that will probably come later. Anyone else hear the EXACT motifs of the xenoblade 1 and 2 themes? Speaking of music, the xenoblade 2 theme appears at the same time as the bearded man/possible rex. Coincidence? 8 - Time seems to be a key mechanic, with that shot of Noah looking around a city that has been stopped in time. Mio makes references to the fact people have limited time to live. 9 - It appears weapons of characters can be interchanged? Noah was using the paper bird thing at the end. 10 - It seems the break, topple, daze system exists but also the break, topple, launch system as well. Looks interesting 11 - Ourobos seems to be the driving helpful force that links the characters but it is also what supposedly Melia is trying to destroy, but Nia protect in the first trailer. Could it be something linked to Klaus and his screw ups, given Melia's hatred of Zanza? So much points toward a massive crossover, even the attack names: "Mega Spinning Edge", "Butterfly Blade" etc. The lady with two swords looks like an alt universe Morag? and last but not least 12 - ROTBART IS BACK BABY

I had to turn it off in xeno 2 because there's just too many people talking over each other and it looks like it be worse here since you can have up to 7 party members (8 if you include the Nopons as a pair).

[@Dragon_Ryder]

XC2 already kinda had the damage sponge problem but with three characters, but I think having all your party members active at one time will be extremely fun. It looks like the chain attack gauge doesn’t have three sections, so maybe the player-controlled character can go down without losing the fight…and maybe you can switch your active character mid-fight? That would be pretty cool. No matter what, I’m glad I won’t have to sideline my favorite characters to put together a good party. I can include everyone. I can’t wait to learn more about the battle system.

@@Dragon_Ryder I agree with you! Even if say the shield hammer can’t keep Aggro well, there’s no real point to take her off like in two because there’s another tank on the field that can probably do it instead.

I was really hesitant at the first reveal since they didn’t show any of the battle system, but now I think it looks incredible. Can’t wait to see what the new gameplay mechanics are, and I’m so looking forward to exploring another gorgeous, treasure-filled world.

Those fusion designs really remind me of Astral Chain Legions. So hyped for this game!

[@tinotcg5815]

Ouu big facts

[@renren47618]

TRUE

I knew I saw it somewhere.

[@wesnohathas1993]

Astral Chain always struck me as having a similar aesthetic to Xenoblade.

[@sonicgalaxy27]

Not gonna lie but Nia looks so cute when she is older.

It really is a good time to be a Xenoblade fan. I didn't expect that we'd be getting the game a bit earlier than before, but I'm not complaining. Just as long as the game's not as buggy as Xenoblade 2 was at launch. I *REALLY* want that special edition collection too.

[@TheAlfahDj]

In retrospective, xenoblade 2 was fine at launch, nothing gamebreaking. Nowadays AAA games are a bloody mess to fix after 3 or 4 patches...

[@danhalo1405]

The special edition for Xenoblade Chronicles 3 this time only contains a steelbook and a artbook and nothing else not even a soundtrack that is quite lazy compared to those huge collectors editions Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and Xenoblade chronicles definitive edition got but on the bright side it at least for sure will not take up that much space

@@danhalo1405 Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Works Set was only a game and artbook... I bought two to leave one sealed hoping it would appreciate. Yeah, it can still be bought for almost MSRP sealed. No one liked that special edition. 3's is probably going to be similar

[@Sam-kp2se]

@@danhalo1405 True, but that also means that its going to be less expensive. So good for me i guess 😆

[@malazan6004]

Xenoblade 2 wasnt really that buggy at launch? There were some over used voice lines and graphics were rough sometimes but not much else changed

[@lightningmtaylor]

Nintendo: " how many party memebers should we have in this game?" Monolithsoft: "Yes"

[@thelegacyofgaming2928]

So happy there's more than 4 now. The only reason old JRPGs had 4 characters was because of system limitations. No need to remain in that formula

[@PenguinTr4sh]

combat UI looks beautiful, the changing roles looks promising, the combining two characters for a more powerful one looks insanely satisfying, and chain attacks look powerful but not op. This game might just be the best one yet

[@niquel5831]

The UI literally takes up half the screen. It's hideous.

[@Siriusangelhowler]

@@niquel5831 i agree, the gameplay looks absolutely awesome but the ui is gonna take some time to get used to

[@sonicgalaxy27]

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 looks really stunning and amazing right now by far. I'm a little speechless right now because of the hyped for this game. c:

[@PenguinTr4sh]

@@niquel5831 what would you be looking at? It’s not like it’s giant blocks of ui anyway

[@Coplanersirtax9]

I think the changing roles have to do with the weapons they are holding, since at that time lanz was holding noahs weapons(and clothes???) and noah was holding his
