[@AbomVel]

Seeing Rex's adult design makes me feel so proud of my boi. I know people make jokes about Rex becoming a gigachad, but to me, it goes to really show how genuinely brave and sure of himself Rex has gotten. He was just a nervous young boy who was constantly being given more than he could handle, who constantly beat himself over not doing better, and who came close to giving up so many times. Rex never asked to be the driver of the most important blade in existence, or carry the fate of the world on his shoulders. But I think Rex's heroic and powerful design really symbolizes how unlike before, not only has he truly grown into that identity, but made it his own, and now he gladly continues to fight and carry the burden and weight he thought he couldn't before. He's not the same young man who doubts whether he can or can't anymore. But at the same time, he hasn't lost sight of his younger self's eager optimism with his classic "Let's show them a thing or three" line. I could say similar things for Shulk, but Xenoblade 2 just holds a special place in my heart and I'm really happy to see they seem to be doing Rex justice even after his story is over. This DLC is looking absolutely amazing so far. Given how they ABSOLUTELY did Rex and Shulk justice with their new designs, I'm hoping we can see equally awesome post-timeskip designs for Fiora, Pyra, Mythra, and hopefully all the other party members we know and love.

[@jellycore1316]

YESSS I LOVE how you wrote this, well said, I agree! ^^ I absolutely love Rex, too, and I can't believe he's actually saying two of his most iconic lines right back-to-back, that's amazing XD I'm so happy he's here and I'm so proud of him, too!

[@xxtherubyheroxx668]

To me, Shulk bares his resemblance to Claus/Zanza (due to his connection with him in the first game [Im not gonna spoil more than that here]). Rex bares a lot of resemblance to Vandham, Zeke maybe, but to Malos (Logos) as well. For Rex, look at his Posture and Hairstyle. Very reminiscent of Malos, maybe out of respect for someone who could have been saved.

Throughout the trailer, Shulk is consistently shown to share a good amount of similarities with Dunban(role as a defender mirroring Dunban's defensive playstyle in 1, hair length similar to Dunban and most importantly, losing the use of the same arm as Dunban, even if Shulk at least gets a prosthetic).

That's what made 3 feel odd. For a game designed to be the climax of a trilogy, it didn't feel like it wrapped the overall connection between them all. Klaus's experiment. The event that started it all. 3 is otherwise my favourite entry but it was definitely weak as a climax. Assuming future redeemed ties up these loose ends then I will be satisfied fully.

[@frecumber5679]

1:02 Omg he said the thing. And not just once, twice! Monolithsoft never misses with their releases. So many things are going on in 3 minutes. Nikol bears a striking resemblance to Shulk as does Glimmer to Rex. They both share abilities respective to their games like Nikol using a mechonic-like power frame and Glimmer having a core crystal similar to the Aegis. Maybe they are Shulk and Rex’s kids or something 😮. And A looks like Elma or at least could be a descendant of her. This DLC feels more hype then Torna since it ties in multiple games within the series and the story feels more grander. I cannot be more excited. I’m so curious to see how they tie in everything and maybe get a slightly more in depth story about N’s past. Monolithsoft is the goat of Nintendo studios. Excited for this and any project coming out of this amazing studio.

[@poolwater8133]

A is most likely related to alvis in some way. She has his core crystal, hair, and has a Monado art on her sword.

[@slashsight6577]

Also, the motion he did with the sword, is the EXACT same thing he did when he first awakened Pyra and got her sword.

[@mandoloriansoju3841]

Yes please!!! I’d buy in a heartbeat despite already owning the digital dlc

[@aortaplatinum]

It's not a full-on expansion like Torna was though, based on the price of the Xenoblade 3 pass being the same as the price of Torna, 3 new Heroes and their missions already being part of that pass, and the name being a callback to Xenoblade 1's Future Connected, I have a feeling this will be somewhere between FC and Torna in terms of length and scope. So unless Nintendo and Monolith plan to cut out just enough of Xenoblade 3 to run Future Redeemed and then put it on a cartridge, not gonna happen. It's much more likely we'll see a Xenoblade 3 Definitive Edition in 2024 or later this year, though hopefully it'll be on Nintendo's next system so it can take advantage of any additional processing power and hardware features that next system might have.
