    My most anticipated game of 2022 and it dose not disappoint.

    Xenoblade 2 was my favourite game of all time and expectations where high coming into this one. Before they revealed gameplay, I was worried that they might have made gameplay and combat more simple and streamlined, Monolith went with the opposite direction and cranked it up to 11, taking the best parts of xbc 1, xbc 2 and    My most anticipated game of 2022 and it dose not disappoint.

    Recommended Nintendo Switch Game. Best entry in the series, combat far better than xc 1 and xc 2 imo, exploration is bigger and not empty. Looking forward for next entry.

    Everything is really good And For a Switch game it is looking really good
    It's way better than the other xenoblade games
    The ability to Switch characters during battle is one of the best New features

    You can tell they took the best aspects of either game to make the best product possible. I also cant believe how much can be happening on the screen at one time. Impressive!

    I’m a veteran fan of the Xenoblade games with X being my favourite followed 1 (DE) and then 2. I’m about 8 hours in and so far this iteration of the series improves on the previous entries graphically, stylistically, and in gameplay. It’s a flawed masterpiece, like the games that came before hand, but I maintain a 10 scoring to reflect the net enjoyment the game brings me.

    This game is absolutely amazing, and it's by far the best in the series so far. Some of the way the story is presented reminds me very much of Xenogears.

    Xenoblade games feel like you're controlling an MMO party, and they've really refined this gameplay in XC3. In previous titles of the series these systems could feel a bit clunky and under utilized. It would often feel like you couldn't quite get the gameplay loop down to how they intended it. Fights would end too quickly, or you couldn't get the combos to work properly. All of these issues seem to have completely disappeared with XC3.

    This is especially true on the harder difficulties, and it really shines when you're fighting bosses. There is the concept of a main tank, off tank, healer, utility, and dps classes. Unless you're over leveled, you will almost certainly have to switch party members to better control the actions of your party. During these longer fights, you will have many opportunities to leverage all of the proper mechanics, and it’s immensely satisfying to pull off.

    There is a phenomenal class system that allows you to leverage skills and arts from other classes that you’ve mastered. The classes are unlocked both through main story quests, and optional side quests. It wouldn’t surprise me if some of the classes end up being decently hidden.

    Like other titles on the series, the open world maps can definitely feel a bit lifeless. There are great incentives to explore the maps, but don’t expect any type of dynamic event or sense of the world being lived in. This is true of all JRPG’s so I would think most people will be expecting this going into this game.

    Any potential downside from the dull environments is quickly overlooked by the fact that you can play this phenomenal RPG anywhere you want. The fact that we are able to play this phenomenal 80+ Hour RPG’s in handheld mode is amazing. I'm a father of 2 so being able to play XC3 in bite size chunks on the couch is really a great bonus.

    I hope they never stop making these games. I love this series.    … Expand

    Story = 8 nothing special but we'll executed.

    Characters = 10 rarely do I play a jrpg were I like the whole cast as they range from ok to amazing Euni Bering awesome. Battle = 6 worst in any xeno game it plays it self, only thing you add is cutting down the time by cancelling an using skills. All classes are glass cannons, except tanks that suck at holding aggro and even when They do an    Story = 8 nothing special but we'll executed.

All classes are glass cannons, except tanks that suck at holding aggro and even when They do an enemy aoe attacks will kill your healers as they have no range on healing arts and stand next to tanks to heal them. Chain attacks add 5minutes to 2 minute battles so you don't use them even if you miss the exp multiplier.

    Bosses are 90% pink giants and "unique" world bosses are just regular enemies with scale factor set to 200x. Horrible enemy variety game has like 30 of the same bunny bird and croc enemy probably the worst I have seen in a j-rpg in years this including other xeno games.

    World =7 It's allot of empty space that barley has anything worth exploring as most chest contain the same nopon coins. Tho it is amazing to behold visually especially when you look down on huge areas you just explored and gasp at the scale. System = 4 no equipment like in previous games that change looks and give build options. Tons of duplicate accessories that range from low quality to legendary, tho there can be low quality accessories that are +30% attack and then legendary that are + 20% attack this makes 0 sense
    And they have different names even tho they do the same thing, this making inventory sorting a pain as you can't sort by type only by name, ordervalue.

    Changing classes is fun but visually boring previous game had tons of unique blades and armour options. This just slaps on robes and trinkets on your base costume with few exceptions you look the same. Graphics = 4 it's just plain ugly for a new game in 22 when other games push billions of triangles hirez textures raytracing. This has barely any shadows, textures are terribly blurry loding times are long, image quality is improved but still blurry shimmering. Can't wait to se what this studio will do in the future the switch needs to retire.

    Game is a must buy if you love jrpg but
    Giving it 10 is insanity and fan boyism. I have followed this studio since xenogears and they are the reason I own a switch, as I only own the xeno games. But giving it 10 and calling it goty is copium At best, no matter how much you love it.    … Expand

The Heroes were the perfect solution for replacing Blades and recruiting and learning their movesets is addicting! I would call the combat “masterful”. There’s enough complexity yet it doesn’t become convoluted and the game does an excellent job explaining the combat to you with there even being drills for you to practice if you ever want to revisit certain mechanics.

They have listened to their audience, critics and quite possibly numbskull metacritic 0 raters (although I doubt it as the vast majority seem to have deep set psychological issues). There are many QOL improvements and for newcomers to the series more approachable tutorials. They have also added a training drill system if you need to practice or refresh your understanding.
    They have combined battle systems from Xenoblade 1 and 2 which has resulted in a wonderful and thoroughly enjoyable hybrid.
    The characters and world are to their usual high standard and I personally love the voice acting although of course this is going to be subjective..
    I highly recommend for RPG/JRPG fans and you certainly get plenty of bang for your buck but I would advise doing your homework to the type of game this is especially regarding the battle system as it really makes up such a large part of the game-play. It requires some build tinkering but its not completely obsessive either. It's not for everyone as some have shown in their reviews on here already, crying about the price and experience but not knowing anything about the kind of game it is.
    Oh and that soundtrack. This must be soundtrack of the year or at the very least nominated!
    A very good starting point if your new to the series as the mechanics are explained well and the story is self contained without requiring knowledge from the previous two incarnations (although it would be a lie to say the Easter eggs from those don't enhance the experience). Already looking forward to Monolithsoft's next offering and don't forget its them that help Nintendo with the world building on the Zelda titles since Nintendo acquired them. Looks promising for BOTW 2's world I would suggest.    … Expand

    Combat?
    I found XC1's combat... okay. XC2's combat I really disliked. XC3 however managed to make Xenoblade combat actually _fun_ for me. The Ourboros form, switching classes, switching characters mid combat and all make it so battles never become boring.

    Graphics?
    Insane, considering this is the Switch. They do some very dark magic of upscaling and shaders to manage this feat, but the image almost always looks fantastic. Both in docked and handheld mode.

    Issues?
    I have encountered no real bugs so far, just very minor glitches, like some items getting stuck in a wall (but still being able to pick them up), or a character vanishing in a nearby furniture piece.

    Now why just 9/10?
    Because while being a perfect Xenoblade game that overcomes almost every weakness and oddities of the former games, it isn't without flaw.
    Even though the world is vast, there's a good amount of backtracking at times when new things get unlocked in older areas - and unlocking faster running only seems to come halfway through the game.
    There's also some other QoL things missing, like being able to give much needed specific commands in battle (prioritize Ourboros, prioritize healing, ...)
    And there's a flood of unskipable tutorials in the first ~10 hours or so. Very annoying - but helpful for players new to the series.    … Expand

    The ultimate crescendo to the numbered series so far taking all the positives from 1, 2, and the DLCs without any of the problematic issues. They've streamlined the menus, tutorials, collecting, and side quests with an amazing story and characters. Moreover, they've managed to push the switch to it's limits. This game looks and runs amazing for the system. Great in handheld too.

    Pinnacle of the series in terms of gameplay, music, story, and world. If you liked any past entry, you'll love this.

    The combat is definitely different than most JRPG you see, its a real time action but at the same time also an ATB like final fantasy, which makes the sadly still presents frame drops barely matter, so for game this good to be on Nintendo Switch is already a miracle.

    If you don't like anime visual, you probably wont like this game because compared to Xenoblade 1, this one is heavily anime looking especiailly with Saito Masatsugu at the helm of the character design, but in the exact opposite, if you love anime visual, you will deeply in love with the game!

    and of course the music, which is obvious if you played the other 2 game, is really top notch JRPG quality, and this time its borrowing some le'motif from previous games' music into the new ones which gave veterans a sense of coming home!

    overall, this game is a treat, not only to the eyes, but for your soul.    … Expand

    Compared to the previous installments in the franchise, this one really shines bright. The musical scores are bigger and better than before.

    The story is really great, and even better when you complete some side quests. The combat is more intuitive and pleasing than the Blade/Driver system in Xenoblade 2.

    Overall really enjoyed this game and cannot wait to see what the DLC brings in the future

    Monlithsoft has managed to create something truly special with the latest installment in the Xenoblade Chronicles franchise.

The class system is truly innovative, and the side mechanics like gemcrafting and cooking feel genuinely useful.

    I'm shocked by the amount of complexity, and even more-so that this level of complexity was made palettable. The class system is truly innovative, and the side mechanics like gemcrafting and cooking feel genuinely useful. Other systems such as inventory managment, ether collecting, and temporary party members serve to make an overarching system more complex than I could've anticipated. But not in a way that takes away from the grand picture, rather, they simply make it even more beautiful.

    Combat is revolutionized in this game with the ability to change the class of any character. When classes are mastered, abilities can be shared between classes. You can freely switch between party members in and out of battle, all if whome have their own classes with mastered abilities and inherent strengths and waeknesses. Combine all of this with the fusion and chain attack mechanics, and there's never a dull moment in battle. I couldn't have said this about previous titles in the franchise... not to say they were dull all of the time. One thing they nailed in particular is the feeling that weapons actually weigh as heavy or as light as they look. When you're beating an enemy around with a giant hammer every swing takes it's time; when the swing lands you send the enemy flying, and upon contact you feel a satisfying rumble in the controller and witness a brief pause on screen. All of which emphasizes the gravity of each blow.

    Another impressive feat is that sidequests don't feel unbearably generic like in past titles. Don't get me wrong, collecting mushrooms for some nameless NPC is a staple of just about any JRPG. But I'd be lying if I said it isn't a breath of fresh air to feel like I'm doing something meaningful, even when completing quests apart from the main questline. "Hero" quests categorically speaking stand out as interesting side-plots with the always satisfying reward of unlocking a new class, which can then be used to master new abilities as well as unlock fasion in the way of new outfits. Speaking of the main questline, it is undeniably the strongest in the series. Where the others touched on similar subjects, they failed to make them feel truly heavy or meaningful like they feel in this latest installment. Monolithsoft has struck the perfect balance of light heartedness and soul crushing peril.

    Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is an obvious must-play. Now standing tall above the rest of its peers as a shining example of what others should shoot for in terms of complexitiy, digestibility, and overall narrative.    … Expand

    The last chapter of this wonderful JRPG trilogy (I would dare to say, the best of this millennium), could not close in a better way; really EVERYTHING does well.

    It is almost impossible to do a better job than what the Monolith guys have achieved with this game, which improves (and even makes it look outdated in several aspects) its predecessors, which were already geniuses for the respective release times.

    A story that refocuses the tone of the franchise, but not only superficially, but in a deep and substantial way with the great mythology that ended up being established.

    Memorable cast of characters (the best of the trilogy), with many layers of depth, thanks to its great development and well-cared dialogue.

    One of the most complex and ambitious combat systems seen in any single-player video game in history.

    The world is incredibly vast, very well crafted, full of views, heights, forks; things to do, which not only help to make the content of the game more robust, but also help to improve the internal lore for the world in question.

    Memorable soundtrack; Yasunori Mitsuda never disappoints, with one of the best selections of melancholy-sad music ever seen in any video game, and with a lot of influence on the diegesis of the world, due to the theme of the flutes.

    Tons of improvements to the interfaces and menus, as well as help to make the game more accessible to practically everyone (which is quite ironic, since this, along with the XCX, are the most complex Xenoblades).

    In short, we are facing perhaps the game of the year 2022 in general terms, probably the best game of the entire Nintendo Switch console, and, roughly speaking, one of the best video games ever created.

    Many congratulations to Monolith Soft.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    El último capítulo de esta maravillosa trilogía de JRPG (me atrevería a decir, la mejor de este milenio), no podía cerrar de mejor manera; realmente TODO lo hace bien.

    Es casi imposible hacer un mejor trabajo que el que los chicos de Monolith han alcanzado con este juego, el cual mejora (y hasta hace ver desfasados en varios aspectos) a sus predecesores, los cuales ya eran genialidades para los respectivos tiempos de salida.

    Un historia que re-enfoca el tono de la franquicia, pero no sólo de manera superficial, si no de forma profunda y sustancial para con la gran mitología que se terminó estableciendo.

    Cast memorable de personajes (el mejor de la trilogía), con bastantes capas de profundidad, gracias a su gran desarrollo y diálogos muy bien cuidados.

    Uno de los sistemas de combate más complejos y ambiciosos que se han visto en cualquier videojuego single-player en la historia.

    El mundo es increíblemente vasto, muy bien "crafteado", lleno de vistas, alturas, bifurcaciones; cosas por hacer, que no sólo ayudan a hacer que el contenido del juego sea más robusto, si no que ayudan a mejorar el lore interno para con el mundo en cuestión.

    Banda sonora memorable; Yasunori Mitsuda jamás decepciona, con una de las mejores selecciones de música de carácter melancólico-triste jamás vistas en videojuego alguno, y con mucha influencia para con la diégesis del mundo, por el tema de las flautas.

    Toneladas de mejoras a las interfaces y menús, así como ayudas para hacer el juego más accesible a prácticamente todo el mundo (lo cual es bastante irónico, ya que este, junto al XCX, son los Xenoblade más complejos).

    En definitiva, estamos ante quizás el juego del año 2022 en líneas generales, probablemente mejor juego de toda la consola de Nintendo Switch, y, a groso, uno de los mejores videojuegos jamás creados.

    Muchas felicitaciones a Monolith Soft.    … Expand

It streamlines so much and avoids past pitfalls, though there’s still work to be done in terms of balancing the difficulty. There’s a grounded story here with a solid cast of characters, and the basic plot is much easier to digest. The world design exceeds past efforts with ease, and the implementation of Hero Quests is a game changer. While the devs have done an admirable job making the battle system easier to grasp, it feels like the series has fully explored and exhausted these core combat mechanics, signaling it’s time for the next game to change things up. As a whole, it stands as a phenomenal RPG with a one-of-a-kind sense of exploration you can’t find anywhere else.
