The characters are so well written in this game it’s crazy. You quickly get attached to all of them it’s such a great main cast and their voice acting really delivers. Also exploring this world is so fun. There’s so many optional areas to just wander and discover. Even if you haven’t played any Xenoblade before I’d strongly recommend this one!

[@somethingelse4282]

Ikr the cast in this game felt so good, in the first one there were a few like Sharla that would feel like background characters and ones like Reyn and Dunban that felt unexplored in certain parts of the game, in the second one you can clearly see a distintion of the presence of certain characters, none of these things happen in the third, truly the best cast

[@Funchal99]

Quick question, I tried the original on the wii and bounced off of the combat system. Hard. I thought it was somehow boring and confusing at the same time, with all the mechanics available to you and also the fact that you have to wait quite a while before using abilities again as the characters auto-attack. Is this still the case in Xenoblade 3? Also, how are the side-quests? The endless barrage of fetch-quests in the original really annoyed me.

This is the trailler I needed. I think it's the best one I've seen so far. I love it.

First Xenoblade i ever played through. It beyond destroyed my expectations. Easily my favorite game of all time.

[@jerryborjon]

Wait until you play the first game. Gameplay-wise it might seem like a bit of a step back, but story-wise it’s better.

[@khalimblank]

@@jerryborjon Preferred the story in 3. Much more thought provoking. Although I agree 1 is fantastic too.

[@jerryborjon]

@@khalimblank - I just don’t like most of the villains in XC3. The rest of the story is fantastically written and the character writing is easily the best in the series by a country mile, but most Consuls are completely forgettable. Meanwhile every single part of the story in XC1 feels expertly written.

[@aegeon5650]

@@jerryborjon I feel like that was on purpose though, because **spoilers for the end of the game** The threat of moebius was supposed to be in relation to the idea that they represented and enforced on the world. They literally feed off of peoples Fear and hesitation and hopelessness and the control that comes with those emotions in order to perpetuate their own existence. They even spread their influence to other beings who’ve succumbed to those emotions. So while the consuls aren’t very nuanced or complex as individuals, they are as a collective entity, and I feel like that adds to the theme of the game in a way.

[@jerryborjon]

@@aegeon5650 - SLIGHT SPOILERS I agree, but at the same time I feel like it could have been told better. Z himself wasn’t developed at all until near the end of the fight against him. Compare him to Egil, Zanza, or Jin and Z just doesn’t compare. It also just feels like a rehash of the Prone from Xenoblade X since they also represented something very similar, except with weird anime villains instead of Aliens.

No game is perfect, but if you're a fan of slow burn JRPGs, give this game a chance.

The story is probably a bit predictable at some point, but it's so well executed that you could easily let it slide. If one of your friends has the physical game, ask if you can borrow it for a while and see if it's for you.
