Xenoblade Chronicles 3

YEAAAAH!

Looks fucking cool, dude. Coming out in September? This going to make me crack open that DF Switch version of the first 1

 

The Monado is back, baby

Alright! Maybe this will be the motivation to finish editing me and Blakey’s historic XC2 podcast lol.

Can’t wait for this. XC2 one of the highlights of the current/previous gen for me. 

 

I’ll watch the trailer again after work. Those English voices are unlistenabe.

I never liked Xenoblade as much as I wanted to. X1 was too bloated and the battle system very heavily favoured some characters over others, while X2 had these abysmal field skills that completely ruined the last third for me and made me quit. But I did enjoy parts of both games so I'll check this one out as well.

Really the only thing that's going to make me turn on the Switch this year. 2 is one of my favourites. I really enjoyed the battle system and the world.

It's always a bit off in these games, isn't it. Like the voices don't belong to the bodies. And then you've got those bizarre battle phrases that just repeat while in combat. Personally I put up with it, as the Japanese with subtitles option is a bit too much like hard work for me.

XC2 is one of my favourite games of all time, so I’m in day 1 on this no matter what, will likely pick up the CE (if they announce one) as well. 
 

XC1 I didn’t get on well with at all, it was good but nowhere near as special as XC2 in my view.

A year that starts with Elden Ring and ends with XC3 is already a winner in my book.

That character looks really cool, too. Glad they seemed to have calmed down on the tits this time. It was ridiculous in the previous games.

Ends with? It’s out in September 🤩

[spatular]

Good news. i liked 2 so will get this.

[DisturbedSwan]

Fucking, YES!!!! 

 

Brilliant news, guess I know what I'll be playing throughout the Summer now, cannot wait!

 

 

[radiofloyd]

That’s two less months to finish Elden Ring and play Chrono Cross!

I'm going to have to try and get this, as I have the other two collector's editions.

 

 

[DisturbedSwan]

Yeah same, have signed up for email alerts so we'll see. 

 

Bit shit compared to previous efforts but should hopefully be a bit cheaper than those were with any luck so every cloud and all that.

[retroed]

I can't see it being under £69.99, which is what I paid for XC2 CE.

[DisturbedSwan]

Yeah that sounds about right, I think I paid £100-£120 for the XC2 CE 😮 

[radiofloyd]

Wow that box art is so similar to the previous games.
