I just did this a couple times of days ago. Laying in bed watching the cutscene end so I can go to bed.

Despite the good story and combat, the most fun part to me were the much improved sidequests and helping out colonies. Seeing two colonies interact with each other in a positive manner was so heartwarming and felt like a better reward than any item/quipment could have been. (Which is why I think making some sidequests a bit easy to miss was a bad call but oh well)

First time playing an Xenoblade game, Masterpiece! Sincerely,

I'm getting closer to the finish line, on Ch.6 at 190 hrs. Even at this point, I can definitely say that Xenoblade Chronicles 3 have the best cast of characters in the series yet. It was already a high bar set by the original but they were able to create a very likable cast all around. I'm pleasantly surprised at how well each of the main characters are handled in both the main and side quests. Character development and personality traits reveal themselves throughout the adventure and that has been one of my favorite parts of the game.

Yeah, that’s the way this game is clearly meant to be played. I beat the main story right at 200 hours, and then finished the last few hero quests I missed, as well as post-game, and all super-bosses at about 230 hours. Top 5 favorite game of all time for me.

This is definitely one of the best jrpg i played so far. It's on par with p5R in its own way. The world's so alive and experience 7 member party while coming off traditional 4 members team is so refreshing

Indicator that it is a good game is you clocked 100+ hrs and still not bored. All 3 Xenoblade Chronicles games was like that! Still my favorites is XC2. 3's battle system is a good update. Hopefully next versions would let us customize stats XD

I ultimately just want them to port Xenoblade Chronicles X to the Switch. I've heard some of the excuses: "It was an experimental game." "It's not as story-driven as the other games." etc. I don't care if it's different or not as story-driven. I'm someone who plays these games for the gameplay. XC2 still stands as featuring my favorite battle system in the series. I loved building up a swirling mass of orbs around an enemy and then breaking into a chain attack and obliterating them with a *MASSIVE* amount of damage from an Elemental Burst, all while you hear that voice proclaiming, "Awesome!" I miss that in 3, but regardless, I still want to experience X's gameplay for myself.

Man, I can't wait to play this game. I bought it on release date, but I was still finishing the first game. Right now, I'm currently playing the second game. Maybe next month.

Great review! There are a hundred reviews with that "standard structure" but I much prefer this casual approach from someone I knew LOVES these types of games.

Just started this game and blown away already. On top of that the music is amazing. Can’t wait to get my 200 hours in. If your starting, I recommend play with headphones.

Thank you for mentioning the incredible roller coaster that is the story. I felt all sorts of emotions, cried a few times, then some humour bits surprised me, it was just so amazing to play and extremely immersive!!! Some bits of story made me even think about my own life and changing some choices I made. And on top of it incredible combat and super fun jrpg. I’m in love and can’t stop playing.

Count me in bro, getting it now. Great review! I’m excited af

Just started playing it and i am hooked!! I cant wait to get further in the story!! Great vid bro 👍🏼👍🏼

I am moving on to 40 hours in and I agree with you and I know you know what you are talking about. You know how to appreciate good games.

Xenoblade chronicles 3 is a must play on the Nintendo switch. This game is a masterpiece

This game blew my mind. The cons, if I can even call them that : - skip hero and ascension quests and you'll basically miss 60% of the game's lore, themes and character's motivations. - Due to the freedom you have in exploring the game, you might find that you have become overleveled for some quests and miss out on some interesting challenges (and I was playing on hard mode). - loved how the story dealt with heavy themes, and the plot is incredibly well written. But sometimes your characters will utter some shonen tropy line ("the power of friendship" etc...) that just feel cheap and out of place. - In my experience, I felt hard mode was the intended difficulty. Normal is the real easy mode; easy mode just breaks the game. - oh... And you'll definetely want to play the first two Xenoblades beforehand. There's so much you'll miss going in blind. On the other hand I'd be curious to see any reviews from newcomers. 200hours in and I'm pondering on an ng+...

My favourite Xenoblade 3 review so far! Thank you for your hard work and dedication to the franchise OJ!!!🙏🔥

Thinking about Miss Clicks comments on Saturday lol

I got to a part where you meet this Nopon called Repapa that's trying to complete Dorrick. I completed the quest "A big friendly friend" then he issued 10 phases in which of course the player must collect the necessary materials to complete the guardian mechon. I did some digging and realized once you finish it, you have to fight it as a boss that's like level 70; and once you beat it, you're not necessarily rewarded with anything. Have you completed this quest? Honestly what is the point?

Had switch since launch just got the Zelda OLED. Wanted to play this game forever always saw it at the store. Now finding the definitive edition cartridge seems impossible. Won't give up. Keep up the amazing videos bro love the content and honest feedback.

I never spent 170 hours still not finished and enjoying it so much, thank you for creating this content because this represents what I feel too ✨

Spent 272hrs to complete everything I see in the game. And still counting in new game+. Truly a masterpiece and my favorite game!

Just finished it the other day at about 100 hours. The ending wasn’t exactly what I was hoping for, but maybe that was the point. I as the player wanted what N wanted, which makes Noah’s decision so commendable. Hopefully we’ll see an epilogue DLC.

Nice review. Finally 😎. This game definitely lived up to the expectations and maybe succeeded them. Played on Hard the whole time, and done pretty much everything (NG+) except craft the strongest gems. My biggest issue with it, gameplay wise is how resistant enemies can be to debuffs. That aside, 3 has become my favorite out the Xeno games currently on the Switch. Looking forward to the DLC

Best RPG I've played since FF3 or FF7.... I'm old so.... this game franchise captured my attention starting with definitive edition, on to 2 and then this MASTERPIECE! I couldn't agree more, the best hands down! GOAT? Minus nostalgia, YES

Came back to watch this! Glad this game is getting its much-deserved recognition.

Very interesting feedback!

I’m waiting for the game to go on sale never gotten into this series but man you make me want to pull the trigger

Awesome review, definitely earned yourself a subscriber.

I have also played 150+ hours. I have 2/4 classes left Troubador Martial Artist Machine Assassin and *spoiler Royal Summoner.* I have 4 super bosses I beat the Nyzant and like 10 more ascension quests left. I beat it on the 29th at like 10 11 at night at level 95.

Picking up Friday on Amazon very hyped loved the first two.

I've read several standard XC3 reviews agreeing to the greatness of this game; I was already hyped for it. But this video and the comments - wow! - I'm more eager than ever to sink into this game. I've only played XCX on Wii U for @40 hours (love the exploration, environs, and sci-fi, but never fully grasped battle mechanics despite wanting to; I admit to mostly just spamming the arts). I plan my first-time play-through of XC:DE early next year and then, finally, XC3!

Love the game, but Splatoon 3 came out so I am still in the final chapter drowning in side quests (because they are all worth seeking out and doing).

Finally beat it after getting hero and every doing every ascension quest and I can safely say I love it. It's tied as my favorite JRPG on Switch, tied with Xenoblade Chronicles 2. I put 155 hours into this game and man I loved it. I do think I still have 2 as my favorite story and I think 2 still has the best antagonists in the series but 3 is easily my game of the year.

I love this game. My first playthrough of the main story is an experience I will never forget. This is by far the best story out of the whole Xeno franchise for me. The world, characters, monster designs, and addicting combat really shines from beginning to end. And yes, the music is complete banger, " A step away" track hits so hard, definitely Mitsuda's best. Also the side quests in this game is the best out of any JRPG I played. The characters involvement and surprising lore build is detailed in each side quest. Great video OJ! You hit every point perfectly. Awesome Review 👍🔥

Love the game so far, just wish the game was better graphically.

I was in CEX two days ago and they had around 15 copies of pre owned xenoblade 3 two months after release that is not a positive sign so I'm going to wait until more people have reviewed it

Absolutely amazing game! Finished it yesterday at a little over 130 hrs!

It's so great to see Nintendo foster Monolith Soft's creativity and talent. Monolith has had such a rough road with publishes in the past, now they get to finally make these amazing games with great support and backing from Nintendo, and it's paid off for both of companies, as well as us who get to enjoy masterpieces like Xenoblade 3.

I hit 200 hours on mine. I did everything I could do and now i'm just waiting on the DLC drops. I love the game. It's by far my favourite in years, but having said that, I wouldn't give it a 10/10. There are some awkward storytelling problems and scenes that are there just to info-drop and teach the player that don't particularly seamlessly fit, and awkward QoL issues that are passable. Not a perfect game. 9/10, definite recommend, definitely something I've been obsessing over to friends. Definitely something I push on everyone who's willing to listen to me.

tbh the gaming aspects (battle system, customization options, classes, items, exploration etc.) didn't suit me at all, but damn was the story nice. Apart from the assasination scene I enjoyed all of it and there is so much great symbolism all over the plot with so many important questions and deep topics. One of the best stories I've ever seen in a game.

I purchased a gen 1 Nintendo switch when it came out , just because of breath of the wild since I have other consoles and play on pc...unfortunately my switch got stolen but I ended up buying another one just for this game 😍

I dont have many time to play . But there are games that i will play fully. The last game was persona 5 . And it took me almost 2 years to complete evrything worth my time. And xenoblade 3 i also will complete. Now im 60+ hours into the game chapter 6. This game is worth to play it.

If I understand this correctly. To get everything out of the story I would have to play XEnoblade DE and Xenoblade 2 right?

This is a game, where it hits the ground running, and damn near never let's you go until the credits. Regardless of whether or not you do side content (which, honestly, you SHOULD), you are constantly being given situations that make you ask questions about the world of Aionios. Even you think you're starting to figure it out, you get new information that throws a wrench into that. The combat is some of the most fun I've had in an RPG in a while; it's a wonderful mix of 2 different Xenoblade games, yet still having its own flavour to let you know it's its own thing. The fact that I'm STILL not bored with it after all I've played is a testament to that fact. I haven't come to a complete verdict just yet (waiting for the story dlc before I get to that), but this is definitely my game of the year, full stop.

Been waiting for this review! You are the best xenoblade 3 hype man. Much love

Hell yeah the remastered edition

Bought it day 1, firs xenoblade game and really great. Love the visuals, combat, that boss music and hero quests ect The tone of the beginning peaked my interest and never became corny or whatever (seeing clips of x 2 turned me off of series, xenoblade X got ne interested because mechs n looked like ff15) 89 hours in and just finished the "DJ"fight. Love this game Edit: And love the voice acting and accents, quality voices in great scenes

👍 The Best on Switch and the most beautiful, miracle of visual quality on Nintendo Switch Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and excellent camera customization on ZL+Rstick (L2+Ranalog) as all serious games should have

If i were to fully explain why this game is great I would would be writing paragraphs. everything in this game when it comes to the character designs and individual personalities with their own quirks, the music, the absolutely beautiful and original story that's unlike any other even comparing to actual movies and the insane amount of game mechanics that are laid out to where you learn easily over time. I can go on and on but the biggest thing that surprised me is how this game psychology broke me. I'm not the crying type but damn this game made me cry and no movie or game has ever done this

I put in about as much time as you, but, for my tastes, XC2 was way better. To each their own, though.
