    Increíble como cierre final a la trilogía. Definitivamente monolith ha hecho historia de los rpgs con estos titulazos, y este cierre es una obra maestra.

    Este es probablemente el mejor JRPG que he jugado. La fantástica conclusión de la trilogía que comenzó el primer Xenoblade de Switch.

Para mi, esta expansión (que podría considerarse juego a parte, ya que al menos necesitas casi unas 30h para superarlo y puede darte muchas horas más) es la mejor parte de la trilogía, completando la trama del 3 y conectándola perfectamente con la historia del primer y segundo Xenoblade. Con el mejor gameplay de la franquicia, un gran mapeado para explorar, buenas mazmorras y enemigos retantes. Un gameplay que te deja juguetear bastante para generar situaciones épicas y sin duda la mejor evolución del sistema de combate de la saga. Un fantástico broche final de parte de Xenoblade, una carta de agradecimiento a los fans de la saga... Y también de sagas relacionadas.

    PD: Por cierto. Es seguramente el DLC más grande e impresionante que he jugado jamás. Se siente como jugar a un juego completo y nuevo.    … Expand

    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.

    A fantastic way to cap off three amazing games. Exploration is incredibly rewarding and everything you do makes you stronger. Sad to see the games come to an end, but an amazing way to do it.

    Com uma qualidade acima do que foi apresentado em Xeno 3, esse desfecho para esta saga incrível que se perpetua a anos, vem com novos personagens cativantes e retorno de velhos conhecidos, mas com visuais atualizados. Aquisição obrigatória para quem acompanha a história desde início, espero que tenhamos uma edição física da mesma forma que diversos Xeno torna.

    But wary, you should really have played XC1, XC2 and XC3 before playing this

    probably one of the most ambitious DLCs ever made, an incredible feat for Monolith Soft. Great characters, beautiful vistas, a ton of incentive for exploration, fantastic tracks, a story that builds upon the entire franchise and closes the Klaus saga. Very polished gameplay, tons of new QoLs. Looking foward to the future of the franchise!

    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. Truly a magnificent expansion to the culmination of the xenoblade series!

    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.

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.

    This is what paid DLC should be, a new adventure that it’s longer than many $70 games. Great characters, exploration and combat. Music and story as good as other MonolithSoft games. A great way to end Klaus Trilogy and many hints to the future of the franchise. Highly recommended.

    Although a prequel to the main game, fr manages to tell a new story that manages to connect all three games, and alludes to the end of the trilogy and what the future holds for the series. Unfortunately, this story also highly requires that you have played all three Xenoblade games, so it is hard to recommend this game without having played all 3 games. However, if you are a fan of the series, this expansion is well worth it.    … Expand

    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.
