The first real boss battle that I'm not gonna spoil has a few cutscenes before and after it that just looks so good.

    Story: Incredible. Hooks you right from the get go with it's premise, instantly introducing lots of mysteries and mysterious characters, and they really fleshed out all the main characters personalities, and the dynamic they have with each other is so good it's unbelievable how they did it. For the cringe level, some of the villain lines are a bit cringy, like one of the villain using french metaphors for some reason, but there's almost no fanservice compared to 2.

    Music: Masterpieces as usual with the series.

    Combat: Great. Easily the best one out of the trilogy. Combat is now already pretty fun from the first chapter, as you have access to the break -> topple -> daze combo immediately. They keep introducing new mechanics and constantly to keep combat from getting stale, but they paced it pretty well so you don't get overwhelmed, and the tutorials are actually good and you have a training mode too.

    In competition with the other Xenoblade games for best RPG on the switch. While I believe the story is not as good as the first or second, Xenoblade 3 has a beautiful story. What makes 3 outshine 1 and 2 is definitely the gameplay and combat. Truly another masterpiece by Tetsuya Takahashi.

    Monolithsoft once again deliver a spectacular game for the Xenoblade franchise. From story to characters I loved every step in this entry. The battle system is tight with tons of depth and expansion. I do wish that the Kevesi side of things worked better as the Agnian classes were just "better" in my experience.

    Xenoblade Chronicles 3, compared to 2, actually represents a real sequel and it is a bit of a shame to play this one before the previous entries as part of the plot will surely be obscure if you are not familiar with the worlds of 1 and 2 (explaining "why" would lead me into unavoidable spoilers).

    For those who have played them, however, from my perspective, this Xenoblade is the best of the 3, because game mechanics and gaming experience are similar to a refined mix of the previous two entries (perhaps more toward 2). As for the story, it is again very interesting and full of turning points with good narration of events.    … Expand

    I love this perfectly blends the combat and world-building of the first games. I was truly amazed of how all the hero and side quests have an extra layer of world-building and separate narrative, like the Witcher 3. I also loved the music. The voice acting and individual character arcs were also so well written.

    XC3 is probably the best in the series as a 'game': the combat system is in top form, the side quests are fun and actually worth doing (side quests are garbage in XC1&2), and progression feels compelling. I haven't yet gotten bored at 40 hours. Also, the game gets bonus points for taking the Nopon mostly out of focus. They have always been cringe and stupid.

    *HOWEVER* -- strangely, I still *liked* XC1&2 more. The story of XC1 - the whole Bionis/Mechonis situation - is simply unbeatable, and outshines any of its gameplay flaws; it is the best. The characters of XC2 -- Pyra, Mythra, Nia, Gramps, Rex, and the rest of the (non-Nopon) party -- are, to me at least, highly loveable and fun to be around. Even though XC2 is infuriating in many ways, I always stuck with it because I just loved adventuring with its characters. XC3 doesn't meet XC1's story or XC2's characters, and so, even though it may be the best constructed game in the series, I just like it a bit less than the others.

    That said, I am currently in Chapter 6 of 7, and the story is really starting to open up. Once you start to learn about what's 'really going on' in the world of XC3, it gets good. -- But it took me 40 hours to get to that point! And that's too long. The writing up until Chapter 6 is a little bit too vanilla and there's not enough chemistry between the characters to save things, as was the case in XC2.

    Despite all this ... XC3 is still a great game! Really enjoying my time with it, and I'll definitely be beating it soon.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The best xenoblade chronicles instalment so far. Everything from the previous games is iterated upon to make something truly enjoyable throughout the whole playthrough. The story and soundtrack take the lead here, and as you may be aware the long cutscenes are a signature of the series.

    After playing through the previous instalments, this really does feel like a culmination of everything so far. It's hard to explain the magic this series has, absolutely unique to the series with it's storytelling and music. If you aren't a fan of jrpgs it might be a hard sell, but I'm of the opinion you need to at least give it a try. The stories of these game have left an impression for a long time, re-watching cutscenes on youtube even months after I've finished the game, and this is no exception.

    The combat is vastly improved on the prior games, and I've found myself happily grinding away at levelling all the classes, completely enjoying my time doing so. If you like the previous games you have probably already bought it, if you're new to the series this one is fantastic, however I would recommend playing the other 2 first.

    I completed the story at around 100 hours in, however I did a lot of side content, and was really desperate to get the story finished. So much content is present here, and the side quests are the only thing I have to mark the game down on. Similar to the prior games some quests feel very dull, gathering or follow quests, while others are brilliant and would be a shame to miss. It's very hit or miss with these, but as a whole it's a big improvement on the previous games.

    Fingers crossed the dlc lives up to expectations, and adds more to the game as many are hoping. While personal preference plays into this, I have to say I enjoyed xenoblade chronicles 3 even more than elden ring, which was my other must play this year.

    Just sad to have finished this game, it's rare for me to enjoy a game this much and they really don't come often. If you're on the fence, have enjoyed jrpgs or story heavy games in the past, please give this a go. You might find your new favourite series!    … Expand

Yes, I am amazed at such creativity, the quality of life is unimaginable, this very much of a game (yes, despite being more than game, it is still a game) has characters that feel as life-full as any one of us, characters that actually pass their feelings to the player, a story that although it is so much fantastical, it still feels relatable, "betrayal, misery, captivity, an endless cycle of suffering and despair, but there is also hope" the game is screaming this sentence in every part and every corner of it's story, music, voice acting, and world design, you will laugh, get excited, feel joyful, and also shed tears through it.

    the presentation in this game is untopable, but the gameplay is also surprisingle very good, it is not the peak of JRPGs but it has so much systems and doors to keep you hooked in for more than 100 hours, implying strategy in every step of the game, whether you're playing the game on medium or hard difficulty, you will still feel a challenge, not in proceeding through the story (which also has it's own unique challenges), but in creating different approaches to compat and different types of enemies, aside fr0m compat the world design is very beautiful and expanded, it's full of things to do and side quests which actually feels relevant and rewarding, and the reason for that is the improvements done to "fetch quests", cheer up mates.. there is no more fetch quests, the quest system has also been improved, with quests being sorted into 3 different categories, side quests which are initiated through exploring the world, hero quests which are fully voice acted - character specific quests; these are really fun to complete since 95% of the characters in this game are amazing, and the remaining 5% is likeable enough. the last category is the story quests, full of cutscenes and interactions between the main characters, every single character gets an equal ammount of screen time, with some chapters being dedicated to one or two at a time, every small detail is delicate and perfect, there is really no complains about the story quests for me, although i think it's perfect, some people might hate the cutscenes for being a bit too long..

    Ele melhora praticamente tudo que teve nos anteriores. Está mais rápido e dinâmico. Agora é possível controlar todos os personagens de sua party (exceto os heróis "convidados"), e ainda pode alternar entre eles em tempo real durante as batalhas, coisa que não era possível até então na franquia.

    Até mesmo as side quests estão muito melhores. A maioria complementa a história principal em si, e nos faz conhecer melhor da lore do jogo, e as pessoas que habitam esse mundo. A grande maioria são até mesmo dubladas.

    O jogo em si tem uma pegada mais adulta. Os personagens parecem mais "reais", tanto em suas personalidades quanto em suas motivações. O ponto baixo do jogo, acredito que seriam os vilões, que na sua maioria não são dos mais inspirados. O boss final mesmo, foi uma das partes mais chatas do jogo em si pra mim, mas ainda são bons o suficiente pra não estragar a experiência incrível que o jogo nos proporciona.

    Sem dúvidas, se tornou o meu jogo preferido da franquia, tirando o pódio do Xenoblade Chronicles, que acreditei ser impossível de acontecer. Recomendo com toda certeza, principalmente para quem já era fã da franquia.

The OST is so good that I would place it up near other soundtracks, such as the Persona games. The gameplay is so fun and there are so many places to discover in this large and expansive world. The many side quests really make the game so much more immersive and show the player all of the struggles faced by the different sides in the epic war that Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is showcasing. The heroes seen throughout the game are all so well fleshed out and add so much variety to the strategy in battle. The only thing I would say that really lacks in this game is a villain. Trying not to get into spoilers, while most characters and even locations have immense amounts of lore and building up to help the world-building of the game and to help continue to immerse the player in the game, the main villain is not exactly fleshed out, and displays no clear motive that is presented in the game. While this did not subtract from my experience of the game, it was still something I noted when doing my playthrough of the game. A final note I would like to make is that the character designs are absolutely superior and that this game presents a perfect end to the Xenoblade series. Absolute perfection.… Expand

    + Made me cry at least 3 separate times
    + DLC Wave 4 looks incredible (though it is not out yet)
    + Music is excellent, very impactful in cut scenes
    + Story up until about halfway through Chapter 6 is INCREDIBLE
    + Never had performance problems in over 100 hours of gameplay.
    Cons:
    - You never hear the night themes of 90% of the areas because when you skip travel the game auto sets the time to 8 AM, unless you hit extra buttons. Didn't hear half of the soundtrack until post-game.
    - The tutorials are suuuuuuper handhold-y. This isn't bad necessarily, it just bugged me as a person who had already played XC1 and XC2 and knew what I was doing. Understandable why they did it though, XC2's terrible tutorials ruined plenty of people's experiences with the game and they took that feedback slightly too hard. Wish there was a tutorial toggle for 2nd play-through.
    - Sometimes lighting on characters faces seems very harsh(?)
    - The last chapter or so of story was disappointing. The big bad at the end doesn't feel interesting or relatable in comparison to earlier antagonists.

    Overall still a 10/10
    Though there are a few things that aren't perfect about the game, they are minor. I'd recommend XC3 to anyone who enjoys complex characters, intricate combat, or a past with JRPGs.    … Expand

Combine an amazing soundtrack, stunning visuals (especially considering it's a Switch game), interesting gameplay and a story that nearly made me cry more than a few times and what you get is this game! This is what a good game has to be like, not only on the Switch, but on all consoles.

I started the xenoblade franchise in 2020 when xenoblade chronicles definitive edition was released on the switch, and I instantly fell in love. Xenoblade 2 was alright, but not nearly as bad as this game. At the time of release, I was not a legal adult, and had no source of reliable income, I saved for months to buy this game on release day with the dlc. You could only imagine my disappointment. Let's start on the story. I love the story. But actually playing through it, sucked. It was really hard to follow for some reason, and I found myself googling about the part that I was at. Now let’s begin on the gameplay. All the past battle mechanics we know and love are still here. However, the auto attacks were my biggest problem in this game and xenoblade 2. If auto attacking builds your team gauge, then why is it required for me to stand stationary when positioning is so crucial in xenoblade games? This was not a problem in xenoblade definitive edition, as you were able to auto attack while moving to position yourself better, which, as previously stated, is a crucial part of battle in these games. This auto attacking problem is auto attacking this game’s rating (Mediocre attempt at humor). Other than auto attacking, there were a few gameplay mechanics that are new, but poorly designed. One of which being the weapon class system. Every character in this game has a unique weapon that they use. While that is all well and good, you can also SWITCH any character’s weapon class to the weapon of another character. That makes any strategy of who to play, completely irrelevant since you can use any weapon as any character. It also has a level system for ALL the characters and for ALL the weapons. That adds more playtime to the game that just is not fun. This mechanic also makes the characters less diversified, as the weapon you see them use in the cutscenes has no meaning to the character anymore. Which perfectly segways this review into the characters. They are really not that bad, but the character designs are amazing, but way too detailed for the switch to handle, along with the environment. It feels as if this is meant to be played on a PS5. It runs horribly. Even the menu lags due to too much detail. Now we can talk about the dlc. The hype train for the dlc fell off because of how long the waves are taking to come out. I sadly can not recommend this game to xenoblade newcomers, or anyone for that matter. Just go buy Xenoblade definitive edition.… Expand

    Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is a fun game with a beautiful looking world and a fun main cast, but the exploring the world can be a bit of a drag sometimes with mediocre rewards for doing so and sidequests that can be a bit of a boring slog. I'd say the main story is probably the game's strongest suit and I might've liked the game a lot longer if the game focused in on that a lot more.

    All that said, it has interesting ideas and I'll keep an eye on DLC and whatever Monolith might do in the future.    … Expand

    RPG makers: you have Xenoblade 3 to beat in the coming years. Hire good writers, because you will struggle to come even close to what this has to offer; and after years and years of mediocre story after another, this one was refreshing, emotional, unique, and fun.

    My only critiques for the game are: get off Nintendo's platforms and give this game the visuals and performance it deserves. It was distracting and almost heartbreaking to deal with the Switch's 5-year-old hardware struggling to drive this game, with the visual fidelity of a PS3 game at best, but not in the tailored way you might think. Outside of cutscenes, exploring the world and running around felt like a sloppy backport from PC where the lowest settings could barely make it on this system. That's honestly kind of pathetic and sad.

    Nintendo is overdue for releasing an updated console with more capable hardware, and Monolith should seriously consider branching out and offering their titles on better systems. The poor visuals did the story and gameplay an injustice.

The heroes were fun, it's like adding a special member in your team. And the Job system offered a lot of variety in combat and weapons.

    There is a ton of sub quests and if you like doing them (some are very interesting), you will have to go back at each of the colonies you found. As new quests constantly pop ups. So, you progress in the main story, then you go back to those locations. It's also the best way to level up. Sounds: good voice over, good music. Graphics: I especially loved the level and objects designs. Those mechs and structures were great. Nice touches on the characters. I still find the animation to be very stiff and emotionless, but it is compensated by very distinct characters. It took me 89 hours on easy, and I didn't do all the side quests (maybe 75% of them).

    Had to edit my review after finishing this. I was a little harsh initially and after finding my comfort zone, this has to be one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had. The story and character writing is so well written that I just found myself get lost in this world. I probably cried 20 times playing this. There's so many hard topics or absolutely tragic situations going on. The writing did an amazing job getting me to feel for these characters and side characters. Sometimes I would just get goosebumps with what was going on absolutely devestated. This also ended so beautifully with just the most fulfilling ending ever that totally made my time feel well spent. Took me exactly 100 hours to finish this games main story mission and all the hero and heroic missions, along with quite a few side quests. I'm going to this about this game for a long time. I've never seen a game do writing this epic before and this large of a scale, I'm just so happy to see this can be done this high quality Honestly if the game mechanics and some systems were perfected, this would be a perfect game. My enjoyment ended up not being as bothered about it though as I thought. The storytelling ended up just surpassing any issue I had with the games mechanics.

    ____


    Game plays itself. AND Lot of weird un-used systems. Like the fire clock which a tutorial is given and then you never see it again other then first 30 minutes. Even the shopping system doesn't see any use. Buying and selling is essentially useless. You accumulate so much money and have nowhere to use it. Game autosell is introduced but you never really see loot to sell and nothing is worth buying as you accumulate so much good loot just wandering around. There's also these system of activating these camp areas with Ether deposits, yet again that system has no use. Equipment system even barely needs used. Your characters will auto-equip what is best for them when you're switching out classes. Sometimes adjustments may be needed but barely as the choices are usually pretty good.

    There is an Affinity system with colonies.... Barely gets used and really doesn't serve a whole lot of purpose other then maybe a nice map of the area, affinity sorta just builds up quickly on its own without really a need to focus in on it. Also the rewards are very average so it doesn't make noticeable differences. Crafting system isn't really used, it's limited to gems mostly but it's sorta flip of the coin if you can craft something or not. There is no system to easily tell you where to go to pick up what your missing sooo it's sorta just luck if you run into what you need or not. The collectible soldier husk doesn't serve much of a purpose other then affinity building. You get a animation and sorta just move on. Supply drops arnt really all that important. You get bombarded by do much loot already that it serves nothing more as an inconvenience just for more average loot. There's this half baked passive monster system where the monsters out in the wild occasionally do something in their own to drop loot. It's weirdly under used and doesnt drop anything too useful. Sooooo many weird choice the developers made doing away with mechanics or not thinking them through.

    Of course the combat returns of the came playing itself for the most part. The ability to switch characters is nice and honestly I do feel engaged with that at least. I definitely will lose battles if I don't direct the combat. Overall though this story is absolutely moving, incredible plot and character writing. I was moved to tears over a dozen times and sometimes left devestated with how good the writing was. The weird underused RPG systems though was a strange choice. Sometimes I felt like the game played itself and only left exploring and combat to me. This was fine but I felt more like I was just watching a show that I occasionally would fight in. I really lost that feeling of developing anything on my own. Seriously no crafting, too much loot, auto leveling up and not even a shopping system sorta made me feel like the game didn't want me to play but just watch and enjoy their nice story.    … Expand

    一上来先和二代比划比划。首先本作技术上确实完爆上一代，画质更好的同时也几乎不卡，上一代在连携的时候基本上就是幻灯片了。然而上一代最打动我的是其王道热血的主线剧情；这一作主线剧情方面只能说比较主流，深刻但不深奥，煽情但不感人，犹如白开水解渴但不回甘；所以这是我打分比上作低的主要原因。一上来先和二代比划比划。首先本作技术上确实完爆上一代，画质更好的同时也几乎不卡，上一代在连携的时候基本上就是幻灯片了。然而上一代最打动我的是其王道热血的主线剧情；这一作主线剧情方面只能说比较主流，深刻但不深奥，煽情但不感人，犹如白开水解渴但不回甘；所以这是我打分比上作低的主要原因。

    说回本作。本作最让人印象深刻的莫过于英雄系统，其不仅提供了恒河沙数般的职业以极大的丰富了游戏性，各英雄波澜壮阔的觉醒任务也极大的丰富了故事性（新名艾塞尔赛高！）。堪称八方旅人威力加强版，好一部英雄过家家。其次就是支线任务，绝大部分支线任务都是围绕殖民地展开的。随着主角团完成越来越多的支线，与之相关的殖民地也会相应的发展变得更加繁荣，甚至于还能左右不同殖民地之间的关系。羁绊图的出现则让势力以及NPC之间的关系变得更加蓬勃生动。这一切让我不由自主的融入了这个世界，这是黄金之国系统的完美进化。其他的值得的一说的有：地图一如即往的好评，尤其在加入自动战斗系统之后观光模拟器玩得更加得心应手了；队员跑图时偶有发生的俏皮话以及和场景间主动的互动让NPC变得很有生气；战斗方面更加傻瓜了，不用挂球多少少了些策略和乐趣；最后，个别主线和支线的剧情时间线上衔接不上会有些出戏，其中又有些剧情略显幼稚尴尬比如某NPC的叛变。总的来讲是一部值得一品的佳作。    … 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.

    One of the best experiences ever in the jrpg genre, MonolithSoft are ever evolving and improving. Exploration, story, music, combat,… everything is incredibly good. I only wish the game is even longer, but DLC will give me that later.

The plot was the biggest disappointment compared to the previous entries in the series. I went in expecting something closer to WW1 theme, but it's just a standard high school JRPG plot. The colonies are different classrooms, and the bosses of each colony are the teachers. Most of the side quests and plot elements are basic "coming of age" tropes. Fortunately, the characters don't lean hard into common anime archetypes, or this would have been a terrible game.

    Combat is decent, but essentially it's mash buttons to win. Xenoblade 1 & 2 were similar in this regards, so you're getting more of the same. Most of the fun should be in the customization of the characters through the skills, arts, accessories, gems, etc, but it's just too much. Every time you change the class for a character you'll need to redo all of those things, or just hit the auto button and take what it gives you. Early on the number of skill/gem slots available to you are restricted and the number of items available to fill those slots is limited, so it was pretty manageable. By the end of the game, the number of accessories in my inventory had become so bloated that I was just hitting the auto config button and moving on with the story. Sometimes less is more, and Monolith Soft needs to learn that lesson.

    The game also has way too many materials/items with a very minimal quality of life features to track things. The number of items is easily in the hundreds. If you need a particular item, the game has no encyclopedia to help you remember where you found something previously. I guess they expect everyone to grab their phone and google the item location.

    I should also mention that this game does have many frame rate drops during combat. I played docked with an OG switch and mostly encountered them during battles with multiple enemies. Considering that you need some timing rhythm to cancel arts, the slow-downs do take away from the fun of combat and my overall enjoyment of the game.

    Overall, the game is a decent game to play, but compared to the previous Xenoblade game it is a disappointment. The high school theme made the plot generic and less interesting. Game mechanics didn't feel polished and feels like a haphazard combination of the prior two games.    … Expand

I've tried previous xenoblade games but they never really convinced me to give them a chance for more then couple more hours. But this game is really special. I really think that everyone should give it a try even if you are not into j-rpg - like me - I'm sure you'll still have a lot of fun!… Expand

As for the rest of the game, it serves as the true culmination of the Xenoblade trilogy by combining the best elements of both. The combat is so fun, with great variety thanks to the class-switching system, and the open world is as always stunning and satisfying to explore. The characters are among the series's best as well, with all six protagonists becoming well developed by the end. My favorite was Taion, but even the stoic Noah becomes a fascinating, three-dimensional character.

    The main criticism I would give is that the game has a bit too many mechanics, and it became tedious to juggle classes, arts, gems, and Ouroboros upgrades. Additionally, while I think the ending was a good conclusion to the specific story of Xenoblade 3, it doesn't really serve as an ending to the Xenoblade trilogy that we were promised, and a few elements are left frustratingly unexplained (still have no idea WTF is up with Noah's sword). This last point doesn't bother me too much since I assume the Future Redeemed DLC will serve as a suitable ending, but just something to keep in mind! Overall, this is a definite recommend to any Xenoblade fan or RPG fan in general, and one of the Switch's best games.    … Expand

    XENOBLADE 3 is an unmissable game in the Nintendo Switch games, the game is worth just for the fact that it take the already great concepts of the previous XENOBLADE games and add so much to it to make this one of the best i ever experienced personally an experience that will probably stick for me for a long time.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Tetsuya Takahashi is a GENIUS. 3 Xenoblade games back to back that are *near* masterpieces?! Monolith Soft is one of the best companies around period (and yes this game has a 9 while the other 2 games have an 8 from me, but I still consider them all on equally amazing footing). This was easily my most anticipated game of 2022 alongside Horizon II and while Xenoblade 3 isn’t perfect, it’s so damn close I can’t help smiling whenever I think about it, unable to put it down for WEEKS.
    My LONG list of positives, music is incredible as always. Is that even a question? I have to listen to it in full still but The Weight of Life, Moebius battle themes and A Step Away, truly some of the BEST songs ever in any video game. The graphics are surprisingly beautiful as well, it pushes the weak Switch to its breaking point (resulting in a few hard crashes for me), but it looks genuinely amazing, I took DOZENS of screenshots every hour. The fused environments had me geeking out the whole time too. The combat is FANTASTIC. I had so much fun even in the most basic of battles. The class system is genuinely addictive & I loved to switch up my strategies every few hours (but after a certain later point I stopped because I found classes for everyone I loved to use), and chain attacks are finally fun to use! It took a little getting used to, but very soon I was doing MILLIONS of damage and basically shredded every boss after that point. Anything would be WAY better than the god awful chain system in Xeno 1. It’s been a long time since I had so much addictive fun with a game, especially such a MASSIVE experience like Xenoblade 3. The cutscene direction & choreography are in a master class of their own. Everything in this game is designed to make you FEEL & I love some severe emotional damage in my games! I cried multiple times throughout almost every chapter, while jumping out of my seat with pure concentrated HYPE during other moments. For the record it’s physically very hard for me to cry, so THAT is an achievement! If you think that’s emotionally damaging, the ending had me in absolute SHAMBLES. I sobbed my eyes out for over an hour, until my eyes burned & my shirt was soaked. Happy & sad tears btw! One of the best ending setpieces in video game history!!!
    Negatives are few & far between. Minor stuff like some of the chapter lengths were a bit much, there’s only 7 but I think some of them could’ve been broken up into separate chapters like in previous games. Like I mentioned, the game did stutter a little then crash after from time to time. I saved a lot, but once I lost 30 minutes of decent progress which was annoying. Also in one of the later chapters, you’re stuck at a location for an extended period of time doing boring tasks for an hour before being able to leave, right in the middle of the typical ramping up of the Xenoblade story which kinda stomped on the excellent pacing up until that point. It picked right back up after like none of the fetch quest crap didn’t just happen thankfully, but I was audibly groaning after a certain point of that quest, a dirty smudge on an otherwise heart wrenching & gripping chapter. SPOILERS! What I wanna dive into last is the story itself, what I was easily the most excited for.. I really love it trust me, but I think I had set my expectations WAY too high which is on me obviously. The story has some goddamn heartwarming, heartbreaking & awe inspiring moments, but a lot of them can be spaced far apart due to the chapter design. The main villains are also kind of.. ok? Compared to Egil & Zanza, Malos, Jin & Amalthus, the majority of them pale in comparison to those iconic characters. Moebius are all intriguing to watch, but I can’t help but scratch my head a little at some of the twists and turns surrounding them, especially at those 2 FAMILIAR Moebius, if ykyk. They just kinda fell flat for me. I understand everything about them now, but the way it was presented in the story came across as convoluted at times, at least to me. I really wish there were more connections to previous games as well. What we did get was AMAZING I was just wishing there to be a lot more, although my Xeno 2 story expectations helped to prepare me for this game tbh, Xenoblade games are their OWN stories with references to previous games. Considering this was a culmination of the series & was advertised as such, I was just craving more. Still LOVED the story, but out of the 3 Chronicles games, I still prefer the 1st & 2nd’s stories. Might be a controversial take, but all of these games are so carefully & lovingly crafted, it’s truly become one of my Top 5 Favorite Franchies, and one of the best trilogies I’ve ever played right up there with Mass Effect. Thank you Takahashi & Monolith Soft.. One more thing.. REST IN PISS FIELD SKILLS!!    … Expand

The lore is pretty good, it might not wow any newcomers but returning players who are caught up on what's happened in the previous games will be absolutely glued to their tv from start to finish.

    The sheer amount of content in this game is crazy. There are seven chapters and I had 80 hours on my game before chapter six - not because the story is that long, but because I was so compelled to go and do everything I could. No time is wasted in this game as the player is incentivized by so many things that stand to make the party stronger - whether it be new equipment, new resources for crafting gems, increased friendship with a certain faction, or even sp to use on the various skill trees for the interlink forms.

    The class system is handled really well and allows the player to customize everything about their party and how it synergizes in combat. My only complaint with this game is the way that classes are unlocked. Its easy enough to get a class for one character that automatically inherits it, but it can be a bit of a pain to acquire the class with everyone else. That's honestly the only complaint I can think of, I know i'm biased as a fan of the series but this game has been such a pleasant experience for me - there just isn't really anything I don't like about this game if I'm being honest.

    This will undoubtedly be my game of the year and I strongly recommend any gamers who are at all interested in the jrpg genre to give this game a shot, you will not be disappointed.

    TLDR: This is an excellent modern jrpg with tons of content and a lot to love for fans of the genre and more so for fans of the games that proceeded it.    … Expand

These temporary party members bring not only a new class to master, their also bring a ton of variety thanks to the fact that every hero has their own unique personality.

    The battle system is more passive and how successful you are, depends on the talents your characters have, the group composition and the classes you are currently use. Every class has different properties, although their belong to the same category. The motivation and fascination comes from experimenting with them.

    The music is amazing. Especially the moebius theme is so exciting and gorgeous that it always feels like final boss time. The cutscenes are mostly emotional, but some of them are also funny too.

    However there are some flaws which holds this game back. The battles becoming more and more repetitive. After you finally learn how to do an Ouroboros-Chain-Attack. Every battle has the same scheme and you always need to follow the same steps to win.

    Another flaw is the final boss fight. This fight is to long and the first phase of it is only time consuming.

    All in all it is a great game, which takes the Xenoblade Series up to a new level.    … Expand

    Casi 4 años y medio pasaron desde que Nintendo y Monolith sacaran la secuela de lo que es hoy una de sus IP mas importantes y que es un referente de los títulos con el cual hace lucir su consola, Xenoblade Chronicles.
    Xenoblade 3 es Sin dudas, es el proyecto "mas ambicioso" en el que trabajo esta gran desarrolladora para brindar una nueva cara a una serie que empezó con una obra magnifica    Casi 4 años y medio pasaron desde que Nintendo y Monolith sacaran la secuela de lo que es hoy una de sus IP mas importantes y que es un referente de los títulos con el cual hace lucir su consola, Xenoblade Chronicles.
    Xenoblade 3 es Sin dudas, es el proyecto "mas ambicioso" en el que trabajo esta gran desarrolladora para brindar una nueva cara a una serie que empezó con una obra magnifica ,se mantuvo en la media con su secuela, y ahora querer poder superar a ambas con este titulo tomando lo que hizo bien en dichos titulos. La pregunta es,lo logro? la respuesta es NO....pero si.
    Hay que empezar con que la serie Xenoblade tiene 3 pilares que hicieron de su 1ra entrega haya por 2012 en Wii (con un hermosísimo remaster en 2020) un verdadero clásico y juego aclamado por la critica: una historia y personajes rebosantes de originalidad (acompañado de unas excelentes cinematográficas); un sistema de combate jrpg simple pero al mismo tiempo complicado con banda sonora excelente; y un mundo abierto y gameplay detallado e interesante.
    Vamos con lo bueno, Xenoblade 3 brilla por el increíble trabajo en el diseño de sus mapas, tanto en detalles como su refinamiento, un apartado grafico que demuestra (como otros títulos) el potencial que se le puede sacar a su consola y que si se lo trabaja como debe no tiene nada que envidiar a los de la ultima generación. Es un deleite poder observar los paisajes y un placer perderte en su basto mundo lleno de referencias a anteriores entregas. También todo el contenido adicional al cual le dieron mas profundidad e importancia que son las misiones secundarias y ahora las nuevas...la de los "heroes",realmente motivan a uno a cumplirlas y te cuentan pequeñas historias en mas de 1 ocasión bastante interesantes.
    Ahora lo malo, su sistema de combate es en vista el mas trabajo y divertido hasta el momento de todos, dando muchísimas opciones y combinaciones para poder personalizar tus personajes como mas te guste. Pero al mismo tiempo dándote demasiadas herramientas para afrontar las peleas volviendo la dificultad característica del juego en una muy fácil, descartando la estrategia y en solo posicionarte para tener ataques con mas daño, rellenando barras con las que te podes tirar un enemigo "unico" 10 niveles mas alto cuando antes era todo un desafio vencer a estos monstros tan específicos. A menos que seas alguien que nunca toco un titulo de esta serie o tipo de juego (o seas un manco jaja) nunca veras la pantalla de game over.
    Los personajes principales, salvo un par, son genéricos y planos, no llegan a complementar la historia y tienen un desarrollo bastante pobre, carecen de carisma y originalidad para que de gusto verlos protagonizar una historia, al punto de que los personajes secundarios importantes, los HEROES, brillan mas en sus pequeñas historia que los protagonistas en la principal. Los villanos de turno (que son muchos) son un chiste mal contado que no da ni gusto enfrentarlos.
    La historia principal no es nada de otro mundo, nos presenta una idea reflexión y análisis bastante
    mediocre sobre el significado de la vida, haciendo paralelismo entre lo que es el presente/una vida corta y una posible vida eterna, la cual peca por su falta de originalidad y por los débiles, poco interesantes y redundantes fundamentos y pasiones que presentan los buenos y los malo para defender su postura.
    Las cinematográficas era una herramienta fundamental que usaba la serie para hacer momentos épicos y memorables de la historia que contaba, aquí abusaron muchísimo de ellas sumado a tener una dirección pésima sin dinámica que quita toda fluidez donde te ponen 3 escenas seguidas donde los personajes quieren llegar a una conclusión que ya esta claro desde el inicio, tanto así que los vas a ver girarse y asentir con la cabeza mas veces de lo que hablan ,volviendo los momentos densos y dándote ganas de saltearlos a mas no poder.
    Plost Twist demasiados obvios que los ves venir desde un principio en el cual el juego gasta mas horas en explicarlos que en lo que realmente importaría mostraste, provocando 0 interés en la historia y quitándote la posible sorpresa o emoción que podrían darte. Lo que mantiene realmente el interés y hace que quieras avanzar en la historia (porque es infinito mas divertido e interesante perderse explorando o haciendo misiones secundarias) es saber que paso con los mundos de las anteriores entregas y el papel que juegan en esta nueva historia, sin mencionar 2 personajes que se presentan nuevamente y son una daga a la nostalgia preciosa.
    Por ultimo, del titulo solo quedo el nombre, porqué la historia ya no tiene como base una espada jajaja. Es difícil superarse cuando dejas la vara tan alta en tu primer titulo, pero siempre esta bien querer ofrecer algo nuevo aunque se falle en el intento.
    Cuantos años pasaran hasta un nuevo titulo, si es que lo hay o si este fue el ultimo?    … Expand

    It is also by far the biggest and longest Xeno game, featuring a beautiful and fully realized world to explore, and countless side quests and side content to take part in. The game is so jam packed with content that you can easily hit triple-digit hours of play; though -- as one can imagine -- with so much content, not all of it is equally as compelling. Some side quests are very well developed and meaningful, while others feel more like useless filler.    … Expand

    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.
