    Amazing videogames. The graphics are very good, the story is super interesting and the gameplay is great.
    The main characters have their own story and are very well developed.

    The culmination of the first story for the JRPG series Xenoblade Chronicles, XC3 builds on the strengths of the previous games, incorporates many quality of life improvements and tells a fascinating story which is a joy to bring to fruition.

    Must buy for fans of the series, but is still accessible to folks who haven't played XC1 and XC2.

    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.

    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

    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

    Played XB1 but never finished it. I really hated XB2 so much that I dropped it. XB3 will probably be the only Xenoblade game I will complete. The combat is so fun. it's what drew me into this game in the first place. The gameplay alone is worth trying this game out. Beware the early game on hard mode, it is extremely hard. They probably put no testing in the beginning at all.

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

    The music is always top notch in these games, especially with one of the best video game composers in the industry. This time around he made the music more atmospheric rather than the typical JRPG-esque instrumental music we tend to see. So it feels like you're really apart of the game. The characters have layers of depth to them and their interactions as they face one of their greatest struggles of overcoming the acceptance of death with what little life they have, and living life to the fullest. The characters and this game teaches a great lesson and allows you to grow really attached. The battle is a lot of fun and as been a little more simplified compared to the other titles, while it still throws some more new fun mechanics to make the battle engaging. I can't wait to finish this gem as it feels like there's still some more. I'm not 100% sure how much I have left. Usually I'll look these things up so I know when I'll be done with a game to move onto the next, but with a great game like this, i prefer to be surprised and just wait and see myself how long it'll be.    … Expand

    For you if: You love JRPG(FF/tales of/persona/DQ), you like exploration and long games, you want big single player game that can last you for a very long time, looking for an adventure, you like story driven game and be immersed, you like game that "can" challenge you with your own composition.

    NOT FOR YOU: you dislike JRPG, management of characters, hate long cutscene, don't like to wander off and play your own way, have no patience.

    Most likely the best JRPG on switch alongside DQ11.

    This game has everything you could want from a JRPG:

    -Great exploration that let you ignore the main story(after a certain point): massive environnement, while not too impressive at first the game just goes on and on, and the scale is very deceptive. The size of the map is 5 TIME bigger than XC2 which was already a quite beefy!

    -A deep a fine tuned battle system, that only get progressively unveiled as you progress since there is A LOT of layers!

    -The soundtrack is fantastic, so many battle theme, so much variation of theme, and little notes!

    -The story is intriguing and like most Xenoblade a lot of theme are very subtile and expect a lot of big sequence, cutscene, and philosophical showdown.

    While it's the third Entry, it's still very accessible to newcomer very much like the final fantasy franchise(but some moment are more impactful if you know the "lore")
    However this is JRPG through and through, if you are allergic to the genre just ignore the game honestly, but if you are a fan, this the BUFFET.

    The performance of the game is pushing the switch to the max, in portable mode the game looks great, sometime in battle it get a little low in resolution but if you played XC2 and are afraid of the pixel salad rest assured, a lot of optimization have been made.
    My favorite Xeno so far.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. On the hard difficulty level, it has the best boss combat balance in the series.
    We have not yet released all of the elements, although we will have a general overview of the entire combat system when we advance the story to Chapter 3. Still, around this point we will start to really get into the bosses battles.
    We need to prepare our accessories, arts and gems with great care.
    Once we understand the bosses habits, you will be able to defeat them someday by developing an effective strategy, even if you are repeatedly wiped out in the beginning.
    The hard mode is a great way to find the right balance between the two.
    There are few cases where you can somehow win or win by pushing hard.
    That is why the joy of defeating a boss is so great.

    I am grateful to have found this game that allows me to seriously tackle and enjoy the joy of the game：D

    And ......
    Excellent battle music!
    Field music that will bring back memories for anyone who's been through the series!

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.

    This was the perfect way to close out the trilogy. I felt more emotionally invested in the characters in this game than in any previous. The way the story brings everyone together makes them really feel like they are more of a close team that in previous games. I have now put 150hrs into this game and have just about done everything.

    Xenoblade Chronicles 3 I have no doubt is my personal Game of the Year after consuming roughly 200 hours of my life.

    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

    An outstanding game! I'm out if words how incredibly good this game is. I'm playing the Xeno Frabchise since XC1 on Wii and was always a Fan of it. This Game conclused a brilliant Trilogy and i can't wait for the DLC! And don't Listen to 0 Scores, they're dumb as hell. A 0 from a User who WRITES that He didn't play the game like... wtf dude?!

    Just 20 hours in and it feels like i have seen not a glimps of what the game offers, its so much (in a very positive sense)
    Graphicly its really good on the switch but not winning prices when compared to other games today like Horizion Forbidden west... *but* expacily the models of the characters are so good and fitting for the style, i dont see it as a negative.

    Musicly and from the gameplay i dont really need to say anything, the xenoblade series was awesome at that the last 3 games and its no excaption here, its even better to say!
    From the story as i said i am not to deep in, but from this point its very entertaining and i cant wait to see where things go ^^
    Maybe a 9/10 as of now where i am in the game, but potential for a 10/10 and as we live in a world of extrems (looking at those 0/10 scores) i give it a full 10!    … Expand

    O jogo me supreendeu bastante, eu tinha jogado Jrpg há muito tempo e não sabia se iria gostar, mas foi uma grande surpresa, desde a jogabilidade aos gráficos, tudo muito bem feito, só uma pena não ter em PT-BR mas esse jogo não tem muitas traduções, então dá pra entender.

    Took about 10 hours to get into the game, but now fully lost in exploring the landscape. Completely forgotten about the story at some point, just finding new places, tunnels, caves, ... Love it!

    The map is just insanely big and the voice actors are amazing. Combat gets so good as the game progresses.    … Expand

    Es un juego abismal que te invita a cada momento a recorrer el basto mundo que tiene. Un juego muy recomendado tanto si jugaste a los juegos anteriores como si no lo hiciste.

    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.
