    Writing is a little rough; World-building and lore drops can feel inadequate in the opening chapters; Technical issues.

    Thoughts-
    As you may have guessed, there is a lot to say about Xenoblade Chronicles 3, and I’m not sure I’ve said all of what I could yet. It’s fitting, really, for a series of games that prides itself on the excess it delivers in quite literally every possible regard, without compromising on the core quality of the experience (something very few other developers have managed to do). Xenoblade games are massive, they defy the imagination, and they can often break the mind with their scope and sheer volume. Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is no different. In taking together over a decade long narrative arc that the geniuses at Monolith Soft have been working towards, it takes on the best of Xenoblade 1 and 2, and then brings its own additions to the table. The end result is something so jaw-droppingly big, it’s a wonder it doesn’t collapse under its own weight. Under the stewardship of a lesser developer, it probably would have, or at least, the seams would have begun to show. Under Monolith Soft, that entire excess comes together in one glorious package, tightly integrated and thoroughly compelling, not just the best game in its series and by its developer, but also arguably among the greatest games on its system and in its genre. Now that is suitably lavish praise for a series that deals with excesses like Xenoblade Chronicles does- and it’s well earned.    … Expand

    Xenoblade Chronicles 3, l'ultima fatica di Tetsuya Takahashi e Monolith Soft, è semplicemente la perfezione. È il risultato e il connubio definitivo di tutto quello che abbiamo visto nella serie di Xenoblade Chronicles. Unisce ed equilibra elementi di gameplay e di narrazione dei capitoli precedenti, tra cui elementi che portati all'estremo potevano risultare poco opportuni in alcuneXenoblade Chronicles 3, l'ultima fatica di Tetsuya Takahashi e Monolith Soft, è semplicemente la perfezione. È il risultato e il connubio definitivo di tutto quello che abbiamo visto nella serie di Xenoblade Chronicles. Unisce ed equilibra elementi di gameplay e di narrazione dei capitoli precedenti, tra cui elementi che portati all'estremo potevano risultare poco opportuni in alcune occasioni, come l'eccessiva serietà del primo capitolo o la troppa leggerezza del secondo.

    La Storia di Xenoblade Chronicles 3 è qualcosa di fuori scala, introducendo e raccontandoti un argomento che ti accompagnerà per tutta l'avventura, dallo spessore e una profondità indescrivibile: il peso della vita. Gli Agnus e i Keves, popolani di Aionios che si distribuiscono in colonie combattenti, si scontrano da tempi immemori, rubandosi la vita a vicenda, perché è l'unico modo che conoscono per vivere, e l'unico modo in cui sono costretti a farlo: combattere per vivere e vivere per combattere. Noah e i suoi compagni dovranno viaggiare ed affrontare innumerevoli difficoltà per trovare la verità e le motivazioni che hanno reso Aionios, il loro mondo, così contorto e ingiusto. Con loro portano una speranza per il futuro, la speranza di creare un mondo migliore per loro e tutti gli abitanti di Aionios.

    Le mappe di Xenoblade Chronicles 3 sono sconfinate e meravigliose, con una profondità di campo impressionante, e panorami che tolgono il fiato. Ogni luogo è ben caratterizzato e reso meravigliosamente, nonostante i limiti tecnici di Nintendo Switch. Un encomio da fare è anche per la musica, composta principalmente dall'illustre Yasunori Mitsuda, e da altri grandi artisti, che hanno dato luce a centinaia di colonne sonore memorabili e dalla qualità indiscutibile.

    I Protagonisti di Xenoblade Chronicles 3 sono caratterizzati divinamente: Noah, Mio, Eunie, Taion, Lanz e Sena sono molto diversi tra di loro, ma impareranno a conoscersi, e imparerai tu a conoscere loro, nel corso del loro lunghissimo viaggio. Arriverai a considerarli dei cari amici, poiché che ogni loro azione, anche la più futile, ti farà conoscere una loro nuova sfaccettatura. Una chiacchera in un punto di riposo, come ognuno di loro si interfaccia alle varie quest secondarie o come reagiscono a particolari elementi del mondo che li circonda.

    Il Combat System di Xenoblade Chronicles 3 è stratificato, complesso e stimolante, che non è per tutti, ma che obiettivamente è veramente ben realizzato: i 6 protagonisti sono tutti in campo e combattono in tempo reale, controllabili uno alla volta. A compensare l'attacco "base" che è automatico, devono concatenare mosse speciali e abilità che si basano principalmente sulla posizione del singolo personaggio o dell'effetto di cui può beneficiare spesso tutta la squadra. Le classi sono principalmente 3: attaccante, difensore e guaritore. Le classi sono varie e intercambiabili, e sono solo una piccola parte delle feature del combat system, che presenta anche le forme Ouroboros, giganti robotici risultanti della fusione tra 2 dei 6 protagonisti.

    Le Quest di Xenoblade Chronicles 3 sono fondamentali per il World Building del gioco, sempre interessanti e ragionate. Si distinguono poi dalle quest normali le quest per Eroi, che si incentrano su specifici personaggi, principalmente Comandanti di Colonie, che finiranno per unirsi volentieri alla tua causa e, uno per volta alla tua squadra, come settimi membri aggiuntivi e non controllabili. Le Quest degli Eroi sono importanti e portano spesso alla scoperta di intere nuove colonie ed aree, rendendo la voglia di completismo stimolante e gratificante.

    Xenoblade Chronicles 3 è in parole povere, un gioco monumentale, un capolavoro, e lo sforzo definitivo di Monolith Soft, con tutta l'esperienza e i pregi ricavati dai precedenti capitoli della serie. Rientra senza riserve tra i migliori J-RPG della storia e merita un occasione, anche da chi non mastica il genere.    … Expand

Story… I am on a chapter 4 and till now it’s great and I love it. Characters, managing team of 8 with class changing and so on, might be overwhelming. Combat system, after you put at least 10 hours into the game it’s starting to be good, at the beginning might be boring for some. Systems in the game, there is aaa lot of systems, even when game does pretty good job to guide you though them, it takes lots of time to learn and need a little bit of patience. Climate, is darker then xenoblade chronicles 2. Graphics, I don’t require a great graphic, you can give me two dots on screen, and as far you will provide something good, interesting, involving, funny to do with the dots I will be happy with game.

    Holding it back are just a couple things: The world locations are lacking in visual diversity when compared to past entries
    The bgm for these locations are also less memorable compared to predecessor

En mi opinión es un juego que aplica cambios positivos si lo comparamos con los dos títulos anteriores, y será un alivio para aquellos que solo cuentan con la versión Lite de nintendo, ya que la calidad gráfica mejora mucho y la nitidez es una gran mejora. Así que sin problemas se podrá jugar con comodidad desde la forma portátil. Ya en elementos del juego personalmente me encantó la banda sonora, simplemente es una delicia que tal vez podría contener a la mejor banda sonora del año. La historia también destaca mucho ya que aunque en momentos es predecible te enganchas con algunos elementos narrativos muy bien implementados así qué en cuestión de historia no decepciona. El diseño de personajes, enemigos y ambientación son muy buenos también y las mejoras que le hicieron al mapa también se agradecen, y sin duda nadie extrañará La extraña brújula y ahora el sendero se marca con una línea nublosa que es mucho más útil. La única cosa que no me permite darle una mejor calificación es que el movimiento de los personajes aún se ve como muy tieso, le falta naturalidad ya que da la impresión de graficas de juegos algo viejos. Y sabemos que la switch puede dar mucho más.. En conclusión es un juego buenísimo que no debes dejar pasar la diferencia y mejora con los títulos anteriores es enorme y se disfruta desde los primeros minutos.… Expand

Now the gameplay mixes Xenoblade's 1 & 2's gameplay you get 3 actions of each its good balance. The environments are probably the best I've seen on the switch Monolith really knows how to make great maps, finally the story personally I thought main story was great and the ending nearly had me in tears, good to see that's games that can still do that to me, and I did all the sidequests and really enjoyed them , looking to see what Monolith works on next XCX switch port or XCX2 or maybe a new IP ahhhhhh… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. And yet another masterpiece from Monolith Soft after Xenoblade Chronicles DE. I just finished the game's main story after 120 hours of gameplay and damn was that a good ride! Comparing to XC1 and XC2 (I have finished both), a lot of things have been improved upon in this game. Especially the side quests, character depth, character interactions, and combat. The game doesn't throw everything at you at once so there are many tutorial screens during your journey BUT the new mechanics introduced through chapters made the gameplay feel fresh.

    People complain about the graphics but bruhh, I mean the textures can be bad at times yes, but this game looks so friggin' good for a handheld game. I personally preferred playing this on handheld mode because I like to play chill in bed while playing, and mostly because the post processing that MS developed for this game made the handheld experience a lot better compared to previous titles.

    The story... its philosophical story had a bittersweet but satisfying ending. I had goosebumps throughout the final cutscene. Although some people had problems with it, I really liked how the game ended. It was the raw bittersweet feeling of moving on... away from the past and one's past regrets, and instead looking forward into the future. It hurts, but we've got to do it anyway either because we simply have to, or because it is for the people we love and care for the most. The ending had so much heart and meaning. It's all I could ask for from a Xenoblade story. I honestly can't wait for the DLC story.

    OST is hands down amazing. Especially during battles! Nothing else need be said.

    Like Xenoblade Chronicles DE, it wasn't perfect, but it is still a masterpiece for me, thus I give it a 10/10.

    PS. Thank god for the English dub actors and director. No more "HaiYAH..." for me or for anyone. I finished the game on English dub but now I'm gonna try Japanese on new game plus.    … Expand

The voice acting and the animations have improved quite a bit too, especially after XC2. I'd probably rate this at an 8 or a 9, but for now, I'll give it a 10 to counter the review bombing.

There are people that just complain about the graphics and say that the characters are “too anime” I bet those people just saw the character designs and artstyle and inmediately thought it was just a dating simulator with stereotypical anime characters… Expand

    Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is the most emotional journey    Xenoblade Chronicles 3 I have no doubt is my personal Game of the Year after consuming roughly 200 hours of my life. I can say now that I've finished all 200+ quests, maxed out all affinity in every area, found every collectable and unlocked every class for every character - This is the everything the series has built up to and more.

    Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is the most emotional journey yet. Taking place in a world consumed by endless war, the stakes have never been higher nor has the situation of the main cast ever felt more hopeless. If the world of the first game was a struggle, and the story of the second was an uphill battle, then the third entry is a seemingly bottomless pit with only a glimmer of light to chase after. Building from the intense cutscenes already perfected in 2, each story moment in 3 had me hanging off the edge of my seat wondering what would happen next, and how the heroes could possibly come out on top. This made the feeling of hope mean more in this game than either before, and gave us easily the best villains of the franchise thus far.

    It must be also be said that this is my favorite cast of characters to date, and that's a result of the brilliant writing right from the start of the journey. Getting the entire cast within the first hour or so is initially jarring, but because of that I grew to love them as a whole even more than any of the cast before then. With an air of mystery about each one, traveling with them and growing with them, watching their struggles and achievements as I learned about them. All these factors led to me becoming emotionally invested into each one, leading to many smiles, tears, and laughter, sometimes all at the same time. Even all the extra party members you gain along the way were super enjoyable and well written, making each one feel like a full cast member with the time spent with them. Between the amazing writing of both the plot and characters, each twist and turn of this journey had me just as invested as the highlight moments of 1 and 2, and that feeling kept with me the entire game.

    Gameplay wise it's a no-brainer that this is the best. 7 party members battling at once, incorporating the combat systems of both the previous games into an amazing hybrid that goes a step further with the fusion mechanic. Chain attacks are at their best, interlinking adds a fun element to the game, and you always feel great engaging in every battle. Changing and unlocking new character classes always made the battle feel fresh and fun. Some of my favorite tracks from the franchise to date come from this entry, including a new version of "You Shall Know Our Names" that equals the original to me in every way. The world is the biggest and most vast it has been yet, and even after dozens of hours of pure exploration, I'm certain I've not yet seen it all. The new way the areas and affinities are handled was my favorite yet, giving me a feeling of being more invested into the world of this game than either of the other two games (which says a lot when considering Colony 4 in the first game; every area felt like that to me). I wondered how they would surpass the Blade Quests from 2, and the Hero Quests did that and so much more. Thanks to them the line is now forever blurred between main quests and side quests, and I couldn't be happier about that.

    The amount of content in this game is just incredible. The biggest world yet to explore, filled with so much to see and do. The most in-depth quests, the biggest chapters each filled with intensity and emotion, and an amazing soundtrack that pushes all the above forward. A perfect cast, an amazing story, and a journey so unique and unlike anything I've ever gone on... Yes, to me, this game was perfect. To go a step further, I now consider Xenoblade to be the perfect trilogy of games. Each one tells its own story, but they all connect to each other in some way, and each one really grows from the entry before it and can be appreciated more by those who played their predecessors. I'm not certain I can ever pick a favorite anymore, as each game delivers an experience unlike any that came before it, forming a perfect triangle - three pillars that stand strongly and independently, but hold one another up to new heights. Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is no different; a bold new entry delivering an experience unlike any I've felt before, yet still managing to raise the bar the series has set before it.    … Expand

Combat still has a gazillion mechanics, but they seem to be more coherently put together than the previous games. There is quite a bit of MMO influence w/ positionals and cooldowns, but as an MMO fan, I consider this a good thing, and it’s not particular different from 2 in that regard.

    The English voice acting is an improvement over 2, which was hit or miss. The music / sound is above average for a JRPG, though not in the level of a title like FFXIV.

    Most importantly, it’s just fun and has an interesting story. My only gripe would be that it had the same tutorial flow as most JRPGs, where you basically follow along with an on-screen instruction manual. This is pretty standard for JRPGs, but this one aspect does seem a bit outdated. All in all, one of the best impulse purchases I’ve made in a long time.    … Expand

    La historia es fantástica, los personajes y su evolución geniales.

    El sistema de batalla puede imponer bastante al ver imágenes por todo el hud que aparece en pantalla, pero a la hora de la verdad es super fácil de hacer y seguir todo

    Por ponerle una pega, los gráficos son borrosos en televsores grandes

    Masterpiece. A true redemption from the second game. Mature, emotional, well told. Great history, combat, script, music. XC1 was an experiment, with a lot of flaws, but ended being marvelous. XC2 was a bad step. Off context, fanservice, hard to take serious. XC3 improves the first game and do everything right. Play it!

    Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is the best in the series and one of the best JRPGs I've ever played. It's an absolutely Masterpiece.

    It's the best rpg of modern times. Even after completiing it my mind keeps on wandering to it. XB3 has the series best exploration, story, music and villain with a perfect ending. I hope they don't ruin it with a needless dlc.

    So I've finished the game, I'm going into the post game now.

    The good:
    Great plot, not as good or coherent as the first game, but still fantastic.
    Some of the best individual character development in the series.
    Heroes mean that key characters you meet are more than just window dressing and cheerleaders.
    The class system is great and each one really brings something unique to combat.
    Probably the best combat system in the series.
    Side quests have been reduced to manageable levels compared to previous titles.
    Side content, particularly side story and ascension quests, are surprisingly high quality.

    The bad:
    The least memorable soundtrack in the series, it's still good, but only because of one or two standout tracks.
    Performance and visuals on the switch still leave a lot to be desired, this game deserves better hardware.
    Some of the most clunky menu's in the series.
    A really nice quick swap quest tracking element in the UI, that paradoxically only lets you assign a single sidequest to it.
    Side content was not factored into the main story progression at all, doing any substantial amount of side content will leave you grossly over levelled, I was 10+ levels higher than the bosses for the majority of the game.

    Overall, it's a great game, a worthy new entry into the series and a must buy as far as I'm concerned, it has some drawbacks over previous entries in the series, but also does a lot of things better, showing that monolith aren't just resting on their laurels and are really pushing to make this series great. On better hardware this would have been a 9/10 easily.    … Expand

    I love the story so far in this game. I’m on chapter 5. The fighting is entertaining. I have the difficulty set on hard although at times I don’t think it’s hard enough. I love the characters.

    Honestly, I can’t praise Xenoblade Chronicles 3 enough. Everything about this game is just so damn good. The art style, music, world, story, characters, just everything. The world and character building is top of the line: this game does a damn fine job of creating some memorable, heart felt, heart wrenching interrelationships.

The world and character building is top of the line: this game does a damn fine job of creating some memorable, heart felt, heart wrenching interrelationships. It would be damn hard not to be absorbed by the main cast, or hell, even the side characters. What I absolutely appreciate is how to game will slowly introduce new mechanics throughout the game. Xenoblade never felt stale or stagnant, because the game would throw something new at me, and I always looked forward to that. So, what’s bad about the game? Nothing. What I did find “wrong” are primarily nitpicks rather than atrocious game designs/decisions.

    Look, I think Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is a masterpiece. It was never a chore, it never got boring, its loads of fun, and I always felt the urge to keep coming back. For all the JRPG fans, go play this and enjoy the experience.    … Expand

    This game takes everything great about this franchise and some how dials it up even further.

    A very complete and introspective game. I loved its story, and the character development; although I would have liked to see more of one of the main characters. The soundtrack is exquisite and the game is quite balanced in many aspects. There were moments where there were small frame drops, but nothing that hindered the game experience. Super recommended game.

    One of the best games of the year, obviously not winning GOTY but the best 2022 RPG game

    Ultimately, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 represents the pinnacle of the series, both gameplay-wise and narratively. The characters are another highlight of the game. They are well-drawn, with only a small amount of formulaicness. [Issue#321]

    I began XC3 knowing I'd enjoy it because of the fun I had with the previous games. What I didn't expect was for this to become one of my favorite JPRGs of all-time! With its engaging open world, engrossing combat system, loveable characters and gripping story, this game is a masterpiece of the genre! [Issue #62 – November/December 2022, p. 67]

    Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is a clear improvement over its predecessors in almost every way. 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.
