0:45 getting some star wars vibes here. This game is way better looking than Elden Ring and I am sure they won't have bosses killing themselves from a stupid fall especially the bosses that have wings. 😂 I feel like it can be game of the year for sure.

I'm more or less worried it'll be forgettable, personally. I want X2 more than it. 1, as a 2011-12 Wii game launching during the dark age of RPGs showed how to evolve the genre in very obvious but meaningful ways. (Sidequests being the exception, they're nearly all awful gameplay-wise.) I was stunned playing it on N3DS the first time seeing how immersive the world felt because of the scope alone. X dialed things up in every regard; gameplay is hardcore as fuck, visuals are fuckin' BEAUTIFUL, world is MASSIVE, more perfect music, the works. The story and lore obviously suffered due to long dev time and literal lack of disc space unfortunately. But I love X to death. I gave 2 the benefit for the first three chapters but jesus, I stopped caring a lot about the story. I'll have to replay it to find out why and where exactly it sapped me of my fucks to give but it's there. Gameplay-wise, I find it *tries* to build on X in that it adds collection points to justify the map size, keep a wide cast of party members in the form of blades with their own Affinity Missions, but so much of the game is padded as hell. All of it screams "Hey we need a launch title for Switch so the library isn't barren! Add all this Gacha shit and RNG!" It's a sequel that didn't need to happen, as shown by XC1's ending. It all feels blase with "OH, here's your greeny plains that looks so much like Gaur! Here's the same UMs and mobs!" Ect. (Funnily enough, I like how 2 explains it's own existence with it's finale, and the biggest pro for me is the actual in-game combat.) That's what I'm worried about with 3. Doesn't help that we have LITERALLY the same locations from 1 & 2! (Plus, I don't have a lot of imagery that sparks my imagination from what promo material I've seen. There is one shot I think "What's up with that?") Here's hoping I'm wrong, but give us X2 for fucks sake. u u

I really hope your predictions are true but in general, these types of videos never age well. I guess I really just don't appreciate speculative opinion. I'll wait for the game to be out. And dollars to donuts says the reception of the game will be more nuanced than just good or bad.

That's a very fair take. I'm letting myself get hyped because I've had great experiences with the series. But I understand that the game might let me down as so many other games have in the past few years.

As someone who quite enjoyed the more over-the-top design choices in XC2, I do hope they're still there within heroes or DLC outfits. I wouldn't say they fully gave up on it though, just looking at Ethel or Alexandria's in-game model(plus it's the same artist as 2). It's sad that seemingly the fully customizable armor of XC1 is once again not here. I feel like that was the ultimate compromise because you could always put them in something you liked, regardless of how you felt about their base design. I think my biggest worry with the game is that due to such a large number of party members. It could make fights feel far too dependent on the AI, or far too based around stat maxing to to avoid turning into wet noodle fights. I doubt this'll be a problem for an obsessive menu fiend like me, but for your average player that may really drag the game down. We'll see, I predict the reviews will be more middling, but overall better than XC2's. Not necessarily because it's a noticeably better game, but because game journalists all suffer from Mastrophobia.

As a fellow menu fiend, I get where you're coming from. Star ocean 5 tried the 6 party members concept and it failed horribly. But I'm allowing myself to be cautiously optimistic about how XC3 will handle balance.

at the very least I am expecting the ability to swap between characters to at least weaken the AI dependency considering that if you need a specific character to do something, you can swap and do it yourself. If there are over the top character designs I hope that there is a way to choose not to experience it without missing out on anything, something like the massive melee Mythra outfit, because while Xenoblade 2 is my favorite game, the over the top designs were something I disliked.
