    Dlc hay nhất từ đó đến giờ tôi từng chơi, âm thanh và các bản nhạc cực kì xúc động, emotional damaged, thời gian hoàn thành vừa đủ, để thỏa mãn, rất mong chờ phần tiếp theo từ MonolithSoft, có thể là xenoblade 4
    Definitely 10/10

    DO NOT PLAY THIS BEFORE PLAYING 1, 2, AND 3 This was a perfect thematical ending to the trilogy and easily makes XC3 the best installment along in it along with it easily being my favorite game ever. The base game feels 100x more impactful after seeing all of this. It also cleared up the vast majority, and all of the largest, questions I (and others) had after playing the base game.

    Really it’s closer to a 9, but I’m here to counter the reviewbombers down there.
    This game is actually more fun than the base game, especially if you prefer spending less time in menus and more time exploring and finding stuff.

    I’m playing this now, and I love it! I enjoyed xenoblade 3, which was my first xenoblade experience. In some ways I’m enjoying this dlc even more. Monolith soft is so talented. I can’t wait to play their next game.

    Somehow even eclipses the main story in terms of streamlining the already fantastic combat into something that becomes more enjoyable than any other entry in the franchise! The story raised the bar, too, which almost doesn't seem possible when compared to the already fantastic story in the base game.

    The best DLC that ever existed. They make the exploration become so rewarding, and by combining that with the God-Tier level environment design, we got this masterpiece of a game.

    A heartfelt gift to the Xenoblade fans (especially those who have played Xenoblade 1 and 2) from Takashi. Great story, excellent gameplay, and the perfect add-on to Xenoblade 3. Please enjoy this new adventure with our old friends, the characters we beloved. Every fan of Xenoblade Chronicles should play this DLC. It is not just a DLC.

    My only negative thing about this game is that I wish it was longer and explained some things more. But what it did do was blow my mind and wrap up the entire saga and set up the franchise for very exciting things in the future. It’s very fun and the quality of life improvements I wish were in the base game. Being able to play as Rex and Shulk and see Colony 9 again was great.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Not only a touching end to the Klaus saga, but now Xenosaga is canon with the postcredits scene essentially confirming the next Xenoblade will also be the next Xenosaga. For Saga fans like myself, namedropping Dimitri Yuriev and showing the Vector logo was our "let's begin the experiment" moment. I had a full blown panic attack.… Expand

    Fantastic end to the trilogy, and sets up for such an insane future. Music, Exploration, and combat is some of the best in the series. Beautiful environments, great characters, and SO much juicy fan service for series veterans. I was originally reserved about the dlc after being a bit disappointed by xenoblade 3, but this shows that still MonolithSoft's still got it

    Future Redeemed provides an amazing balance of keeping what made XC3 so phenomenal and adding in just the right number of changes. Most of all, it serves as a beautiful love letter to fans who've been with the series for the long haul, as it features some callbacks to Xenogears and Xenosaga as well!

    Even if you never had any intention of returning to Xenoblade 3 after clearing the game, much like I had, Future Redeemed is more than a compelling enough reason to pick up the Expansion Pass to gain access to it. Part of me wishes it could have gotten a standalone phyiscal release like Torna did, but understanding all of the baggage attached I can't exactly say it was the wrong decision to keep it shackled to Xenoblade 3's DLC. In a year as stacked as 2023 has been, it might have been hard for it to stand out - but nevertheless, Future Redeemed remains one of the best RPGs of the year, and any Xenoblade fan on the fence should make an effort to play it.

    Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Redeemed is an absolutely essential component of the Xenoblade Chronicles trilogy. Combat and exploration are tightly refined to keep things moving along, so there’s never a dull moment unless you choose to take a breather. The story relies heavily on nostalgia for its emotional moments, but fans will be pleased that some of the loose ends are finally tied together, albeit with knots they likely didn’t expect.
