Zurvanight Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 Did everyone see the new Nintendo Direct and trailer for Xenoblade Chronicles 3? I am so hyped for this! One of my favorite game series ever with some of the most insanely huge environments ever and a crazy good story. And it's coming out THIS YEAR (sometime in September). It looks to be a direct sequel to 1 and 2 with the cover art showing Sword Valley and the corpse of Uraya, connecting both games. You can also see what looks to be Melia and Nia. Here's the trailer link: Main cast (so far): 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a JRPG known as the Xenoblade Chronicles series. It features massive world maps, a great cast of characters, interesting lore, and a super unique world that is unlike anything I have ever seen in a video game, or any media for that matter. In the first game everybody literally lives on the backs of two massive dead gods that were once locked in an eternal battle. You go through the game actually climbing and walking on top of a god. In the second game there are these massive creatures that people live on and inside called Titans which are similar, yet different from the gods in the first game, mostly because the Titans are alive and swim and walk through the sky. The stories in each game are very different, and take place in different universes, but connect in surprising ways that make me think of a Sanderson novel sometimes. Here's a video of Xenoblade 1's Opening which is almost famous at this point among jrpg fans: Edited February 10, 2022 by Zurvanite 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use the Falchion Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 I'll be honest, I'm never going to play this game. I enjoy Chuggaaconroy's videos too much to play the game. So I'll probably just end up waiting 4-5 years until he LPs it...but it'll be so good when he does! For those who are going to get this, congrats! I hope it's awesome and amazing and is everything the rest of the series is for you. And it coming out in September is far earlier than expected! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosharan Chicken Posted February 17, 2022 Report Share Posted February 17, 2022 (edited) I wonder how the two worlds collide, and why there isn’t any mention of the Xenoblade 2 people in Future Connected. One of the more interesting things from the trailers is the absence of Nopon. There needs to be a Nopon party member.

It seems to me that the world merging didn't happen until after Future Connected for some reason. Also there are Nopon, there are two in the trailer, they're just not party members. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briar King Posted February 23, 2022 Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 Cool news to stumble across! If my slow ass can ever finish Cold Steel 4 I ll be ready and waiting for this. Need to get Torna to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been a series staple, and the current cast seems pretty lean. There have always been party members not shown off in trailers, so that's very possible. But if they're not shown off in trailers then it's because they're associated with a plot twist. That's true of both XB1 and 2. So if we get a Nopon, I don't think it will be the two that we see in the trailer. I think that if we get Nopon party members, it will be Riki or Tora. What better plot twist party member than having a past games parry member come back? They're probably still alive, Nopon live a long time, so it's very possible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are 100% gonna be getting Bana with a redemption arc. You heard it here first. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briar King Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 Bought Torna. Probably get on that right after CS4. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zurvanight Posted April 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2022 Bumping because the release date trailer came out: 7/29 is actually sooner than was promised which I hope is a good sign. Game looks amazing and the combat is a mix between 1 and 2. And there's Mecha combat now like in Xenogears and Xenosaga! Looks like a Nopon will join the team after all, unless they're just a guest party member. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aneonfoxtribute Posted April 19, 2022 Report Share Posted April 19, 2022 They showed a lot of party members after the main ones, so I think they're just guests. Very happy about the release date, now Trails to Zero won't release in the same month as one of the biggest RPG franchises and get entirely overshadowed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briar King Posted April 21, 2022 Report Share Posted April 21, 2022 I’m actually really pissed at the upley. I still have to go through Torna but I’m still playing CS4.. I might have been on time with both come Sept. unlikely now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaywalk Posted April 21, 2022 Report Share Posted April 21, 2022 HYPE. 1 is my favorite game of all time and I love X, 2, and Torna all immensely. This looks fantastic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bookwyrm Posted April 26, 2022 Report Share Posted April 26, 2022 I am a huge fan of the Xenoblade Chronicles Series, and have completed the main story of every game and DLC (including Future Connected). Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is my thing to look forward to, then the thing to keep me occupied, until Brandon Sanderson's Secret Projects come out. I can't wait! Did anyone catch the part in the second trailer where they all summon their weapons like Shardblades? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briar King Posted May 11, 2022 Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 Got lucky and was finally able to grab a Wii U today! So now I have access to XCX! The slow pace in which I play my good games ensures that I ll not get past CS4, Torna and X before 3 hits in July. So X will likely wait till after 3. Will definitely do Torna before 3. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zurvanight Posted June 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2022 (edited) Bumping thread because the direct trailer came out a few days ago and I forgot to post it. Trailer introduces the villains and a bit more about the story. One more month! Edited June 24, 2022 by Zurvanite 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
