    Kinda just repeating what I said elsewhere but I'm really enjoying the game so far. Questing like crazy and I'm almost level 50 and not even done with the 3rd Chapter yet. The map is endless. The characters are great & the story is really interesting. Loving the huge "life and death" narratives going on here. The voice acting is amazing too. I'm kinda obsessed with the Hero Class system. There's a lot here that can be overwhelming to players but I really think if it gets you in , you'll figure it out very quickly. And I still agree the UI is very cluttered. I avoided XC2 due to all the mixed reception but I always hear great stuff about Torna, may check that out one day. Anyways people should check XC3 out. Great vid!

    I finished XC3 this weekend too. It took me 110 hours. It's my first of the series and I loved it. There are a few things that were annoying with the game. The map was hard to follow. I wish there was some sort of tracker for items you wanted to find, similar to BOTW when you'd get close. The story was amazing. I loved the music. Dialogue in the fights was repetitive ("I'm the girl with the gall."). I'm going to go backwards, and play XC2 then Torna. Hopefully after that I'm still excited and I"ll go back to XC1 after that.

    I really took my time with this game. I kind of set a timer to play about 2 to 3 hours a day with games and I spent most of August playing just Xenoblade 3. I really loved the story until the last 2 or so chapters when it feels like the kind of dropped the ball a bit, it is a pretty small portion of a really good story tough. It's amazing before that point though, and made me genuinely cry many times which I honestly haven't really done with this series since Xenosaga. The combat is a little weird for me though. I think the abundance of characters on the field makes it feel like I'm doing less and it kind of makes the game feel way more repetitive than the previous games. Granted I think 1 is more repetitive if you decided to use the same character the whole time, it's usually Shulk or Melia for me. X will still be my favorite game in terms of combat due to all the customizability and mechs, but 2 and especially Torna are pretty close with how well the mechanics build up to chain attacks and full burst. I definitely agree that Torna is the best game and the short length makes it easily the most repayable, community system road blocks aside. X is almost on par with it, but the main story kind of sucks, the worldbuilding and side quest makes up for it though. 1 and 3 are about on par with each other after that. I prefer 1's story more, but 3's combat and side content are better. 2 is definitely the weakest all around, the mobile game mechanics and meh story really bring it down for me. I do think the characters are very fun, and as I mentioned the combat when it can shine later on in the game is very good. If I were to include Xenogears and Xenosaga the stories and ambition of both definitely outclass anything Xenoblade has done, even though both are incomplete experiences, but yeah the gameplay is pretty dated and there isn't really much in terms of side content for both. Xenosaga 3 is still one of my favorite games in the series and I personally put it on par with Xenoblade 1 and 3. Xenosaga 2 definitely the worst game in the series and was a huge disappointment. Thankfully it's pretty much a nothing game with mostly filler content that doesn't add much to the story so it doesn't really drag 1 and 3's stories down too much. The cutscene soundtrack for it though is one of the best soundtracks in the series, the in game soundtrack is definitely the worst though.

I really enjoyed the main party and their development, the heart punching scenes were amazing, but because it was promoted as an aftermath of the first two stories, there are a few key beats I was Hoping to see that just were not there at all, so while I really enjoyed the game, I felt something was missing for me I won’t be able to give a final score until the story DLC comes out next year, but at this point: #1 - Xenoblade 2 (+torna) #2 - Xenoblade 1 #3 - Xenoblade 3

I love the mid to late game combat in Xeno 2, it's so damn addicting but it took way too long to learn. Torna definitely refined it and I expected an evolution of that system for Xeno 3, but oh man did they go above and beyond with play styles and options for the player. I absolutely love it, my favorite combat system in a long time.

    While I feel that XC1 and especially XC2s final chapters were easily the best parts of those titles, and threw in twists that no one would have expected coming - I feel that after chapter 5 XC3 did the exact opposite and the overall sense of urgency and mystique just went downhill. **possible spoilers below** Ultimately there were too many questions that XC2 brought up in its final two chapters (with a certain AI processing mechanism and an artifact found in Lake Turkana that links to the other titles in the Xeno universe…among other unworldly things) that were left unanswered. Heck people still don’t know what exactly the black fog is! There are still unanswered questions about Lucky 7! I hope the new story with DLC will add a proper close to the Klaus trilogy.

    Xenoblade 3 felt like MY Xenoblade. I played the first two plus Torna over the 18 months leading up to release. And when I saw the announcement for 3 during my Torna playthrough, and the main character’s name was Noah, I was shocked. MY name is Noah! So I felt a deep personal connection to this game and I’ll never forget it. Looking forward to the massive story expansion next year!

    I think 3 may be my favourite, it's so close between 2 and 3 though for me. Can't wait for the dlc story scenario. I think all three are 9/10's and above at least. Not much of a fan of Xenoblade X though.

    @@The_Ostrich Just wanna know why you like it so much, to me the characters are generally boring (why is there a self insert), the story is in the side quests and even then it's not that great. The pacing is horrible, i was shocked when i had to grind to do story missions. The combat is a better xeno 1 but still far from 2 and 3's battle system. The best thing about the game is the game world which still lacks super memorable places you find in numbered games.

    @@Hoppo_ Xenoblade X is my least favorite in the series, but it has merits the other games hasn't reached. The movement is a big one. Having a sprint button and a super high jump and no fall damage gives you a sense of freedom that none of the other Xenoblade games can give. The combat, while not as good as Xenoblade 2 or 3 imo, is the most in customizable and is the most broken in how overpowered you can make yourself, so certain types of players would like this game the most simply because of that. And the world is the most sci-fi feeling. The numbered Xenoblade games are definitely a fantasy setting that is secretly a sci-fi world in the end, but Xenoblade X is sci-fi from the beginning with a fantastical element layered on top. It gives it a different vibe, more like you're on an alien planet.

    Yeah its a tough choice. I played TriStrat 5 times back to back. Outstanding game. XBC3 I still have recency bias seeing as i just beat it 2 days ago. XBC3 has the added benefit of climaxing a trilogy and closing out a phenomenal narrative spanning over a decade. Maybe I'll have an opinion in a month or so lol

    rly liked 3 alot, i feel you was almost punished for doing the quests during the main game though. even without ever feeding bonus exp at all when i stoped progressing around ch 4ish and spent days doing sidequests i ran into the wall of vastly out leveling the content to the point that raising each classes rank became nearly impossible untill the final chapter. it ended up making me skip litterally every fight in the later chapters full on rushing them cuz i didnt want any more exp or lv's witch also ment i stopped exploring and taking in the overall world.

    I played 3 on release and took me awhile to beat due to working long hours. I loved it. The premise, the characters, the emotive storytelling. Truly a great game 9.5/10. It made me go back to try 1 on switch. Honestly 10/10 story and VA and 5/10 everything else. The side quest are an utter chore and the combat seemed unrefined after playing three. The story kept me going to completion and i can safely recommend it based on rhat alone. Im sure that had I played it on Wii back then id be more fond of the combat and side quest.

    I liked XB3, but it didn’t come together quite in the way I hoped it would by the end of the game. I appreciated some better quests vs 1 and 2, but I wish they would’ve spent a little more time developing the main 6 instead of 19 heroes that you ultimately spend little time with. Noah and Mia were a little Milquetoast for me, and the only character that I thought had legitimately good development was Lanz. At the end of the day, 2 is still my favorite, and that’s absolutely because it really got close to the lore and twists of the original Xenogears (and Saga to a lesser extent). Once you got into the later chapters I could not put 2 down. 2017 was an absolutely wild year for Nintendo.
