The OP is talking about the art direction obviously, something more important than pure fidelity.

@@jlhalo hmm yeah is connected but also not that much. I wont say anymore, discover it yourself.

[@arjunaadjinna]

@@jlhalo -- takahashi has this massive 6 part story in his mind (think star wars) both xenogears and xenosaga were originally greenlighted to be told in its entirety but xenogears sequels were scrapped for business reasons. xenosaga was forced to cut down to 3 parts also for business reasons. because the people places and things in the gears and saga universes are owned by the respective copyright holders, the story had to be rewritten and told in slightly different ways each iteration. takahashi then released xenoblade chronicles 1. after nintendo saw the success of xc1, they greenlighted takahashi to tell this super massive story in its entirety. That's the jist of it. They're designed to be standalone games so you don't necessarily have to play one to enjoy the other. But definitely play XC2, torna, and future connected before xc3 if you can. Similar to MCU movies, experiencing the previous entries pays itself off in subsequent entries in small ways. the parallels aren't huge but it's nice to experience it when the parallels do show up enjoy the journey!

considering the statement one of the Ouroboros characters makes about being able to easily produce more soldiers and the fact that they're created already being ten years old, they're probably clones made using the DNA of past characters.

People are afraid to expect more from a sequel and I understand, the fault likes on the Switch very limited capabilities, but still, in a lot of areas this doesn't feel like an evolution of the previous game.

The song already got me a bit emotional. I can't imagine how I'll react when they use it on a critical moment.

[@SapphireSword-pd1ix]

That explains why Eunie, the High Entia, is childhood friends with a Homs and a Machina; Because they all only have a life of ten years now. A sacrifice for the war they're all in.

[@justjoshing1771]

But their ages were listed as all around eighteen though, which is confusing

[@Highstar25]

@@justjoshing1771 They're created as ten-year-olds. Everyone is 18 and has around two years left, except for Mio who is 19 and only has months.

[@thatnerdygaywerewolf9559]

@@justjoshing1771 Probably because that’s their physical age (as opposed to chronological), with them being “born” as the equivalent to an eight year old. It would be hind of weird for them to be all listed as nine or ten.

[@SapphireSword-pd1ix]

@@justjoshing1771 Deceptive marketing until they reveal the reason? *Shrug*

[@monodoro]

A “term” is ten years, and your total lifespan is ten TERMS not ten YEARS. That’s why the van damn look alike says “That mark, late TENTH TERM huh?” It’s also why characters are listed as being 16, 18, 17 years old ect. I’m guessing each term can be cut short, fast forwarding you to towards your final term and thus your final death.

This series wasn't even on my radar when I bought my Switch. Now I'm more excited for this than I was even for Elden Ring.

[@HoldenDude123]

???: "It is fate. Many have tried. But none have ever managed to escape its flow." Shulk: 😐

[@tuckerhoog9609]

Nice

[@trueNahobino]

Maybe Shulk "escaping the flow of fate" was actually fated to be the case (meaning he didn't actually escape it)

[@JlBUNROCK]

So everything shulk did was for nothing... This could be amazing if done well, or ruin xenoblade 1's story

Super hyped for Xenoblade Chronicles 3. I'm really feeling it!.

[@rougehawk]

YO! I havent really played Xenoblade before...but this...the story, the characters, the really good english voice acting...I might just have to give this one a go!

[@V-Jes]

Give the first game a go first then as it's 1 of the most praised JRPGs of all time for a reason with the Switch version making it even better, as for 2... it exists I guess...

[@ill_luck]

Play the games and make your own opinion. Both games are masterpieces and imo 2 is even better than 1. Seems like every new entry gets better and better

[@Confron7a7ion7]

You probably won't need to play the last 2 to understand this one but it will help you understand things that they will reference. Also, once you play this game, I promise, you'll decide to play the other 2 anyway lol.

[@dirtydirtsgt4751]

If you don't have time to play the other games you can jump straight to this one

[@emblemblade9245]

V-jes Listen, I think you should take a step back and let OP see a wide range of opinions instead of trying to pretend you have any objective statements to make about 2. Especially because the combat works way better than how you described. I know the tutorials in 2 aren’t good, but there are people online who have made great explanations for the combat and once you master it it flows like a dream. As for the story? There couldn’t be anything more subjective so please do not mislead OP just because you didn’t like it. Every Xenoblade is worth playing. Deciding the best only matters if you only have time to play some but not all. But this is a series to take your time on.

Can't wait to see Chugga's LP on this one. XB1 was like 100 episodes, XB2 was almost 300. He truly explores every nook and cranny of this franchise.

[@Rajin90]

Although I share your excitement (and optimism that it will be a good game), I don't recommend to pre-order. Giving corporations money before you get the product is setting a bad precedent. One that has led to many disappointments in the past. (hello, Cyberpunk)
