Ohh looking forward to the Omori review.

This game was a serious breath of fresh air, amidst the constant bickering I’ve been witnessing in reality… and the flute drives that empathetic neutrality even further. It even helped me appreciate Xenoblade 2 even more, why it was so different from the others. Monolith was planning ahead with that one and it really shows here.

Yooo, I was really unsure if I was interested enough to pick this up. Like you, I adore XC1 and feel robbed by XC2. You're reviews are always very thought out, clearly explained, and rational. I think I'll give this a try when I don't have anything else going on. Thank you for your hard work!

XC2 is WAAAYY better than this excuse of a trilogy ending.

I haven't finished XC3 yet, but I'm at the beginning of chapter 7 with over 100 hours and I am definitely loving it! It hasn't quite reached the heights of XC2 for me, but it's probably my second favorite thus far. Most of my gripes are similar to yours, it took me a pretty long time to get attached to the characters, I think it's largely because the tone starts so bleak, and the signature Xeno playfulness takes longer to kick in than in previous games. The gameplay is fantastic, though. I love the class systems and the new Chain Attack set-up (and having the CAs separate from character revival is a wonderful change) and I love the in-battle dash move by clicking the right stick. Still, minor quibbles aside, XC3 is fantastic, I love the whole trilogy. Monolith is basically spoiling us at this point, and I love it

If you are experiencing constant overheating while docked, there are a few things you can try: 1. Take off the back cover on the dock. It restricts airflow more than you know. 2. Make sure there is space behind the switch dock and avoid pushing it against a wall. 3. If your switch is old, you should open it up and clean out the dust and replace the thermal paste. Most electronics repair shops will do this for pretty cheap, since it it really easy to do, or you could do it yourself for 5-15 USD for tools and thermal paste. The switch is very easy to take apart. There is always some variability between processors due to manufacturing constrains, so some people get slightly more powerful processors that create more heat, while others will get less powerful processors that cause frame rate drops.

Great review! I haven't been sure if I wanted to play this game after seeing the trailers alone but now I'm sure I'll like it based on your descriptions of the cast and the combat system.

Great review Ms. Pelvic even though it said 16 mins it felt like 5 just goes to show you are very good at what you do. I don't comment often but I always look forward to whatever you put out. Keep up the great work and grind hard.

TY for being the reviewer that got me to pull the trigger on playing this series! Love the games! Love the music! Love your authenticity! Keep doing your thing! =D

I was wondering (and waiting) when you were going to review XC3 ❤️

at first i wasnt sure about healers not being able to go over 99% but the tactics behind it, then adding ourbuos into the mix it really kept my attention and nice challenge to combat

Same here, but I quickly realized that the idea is to use healers to get to 99 and then either use a defender to get your biggest TP value back or use someone high in TP value so you get more characters back. Not to mention that for Ouroboros orders, they’re great for getting last minute healing or buffs/debuffs in.

Yeaaah ! I was waiting for your review !

Appreciate the review and insight into this game! Just curious, new to the channel, but why is the channel called pelvic gaming?

Excellent honest review as always pelvic, nicely done. I agree with most of your points here especially in regards to the flute music. Overdone indeed especially the sad theme that played over and over and over but still a solid game overall no doubt. Keep up the great content!

Your review taught me something I never once knew: *The switch displays an overheating error* No joke, RPGs are practically my lifeblood and I have nothing but free time (Im working on trying to work but luck isnt kind to me) so I often put in a lot of hours each day docked and not ONCE have I ever seen the overheating error. I've heard the vent fan blasting from time to time, but never the error itself. Maybe its a switch OLED thing, I got mine a year after launch so still an earlyish model

I didn't think it would top XBC1, but honestly this game might have my favorite cast of characters in an RPG ever. Is it tropey? Hell yes, (because Xenoblade in general IS tropey) but not all tropes are bad. Most of the tropes I find are in Moebius who are so Saturday Cartoon Villianish I just shake my head, y'all.

without spoilers, the ending to chapter 5 and opening to chapter 6 was some of the best executed storytelling not just in Xeno games, but in videogames in general. But I still liked the pacing to the story and the plot twists in XC1 more and felt the combat was way more challenging as interlinking and chain attacks made the combat way too easy through most of this game. But I still luv XC3, just not as much as XC1. 2022 GOTY XC3? For me it is.

Excellent review as always. I was concerned that the characters were going to be stereotypical and juvenile from their art style, so I'm really surprised that you felt they were as mature as you said. That's interesting, and might make me pick this up. I've played a LOT of Xeno over the years, and I'm always looking for something like it. The world being derived from other Xeno games is a bit of a letdown though. I could have stayed in the world of Mira in Xenoblade X forever. We really need to have a spoiler talk though, maybe on your Twitch. I need to talk to someone about that picture of Rex. You know the one. This warrants conversation at the very least. It made the twist ending of Oldboy look like a Hallmark movie. Just... wow. Keep up the good work! You're clearly putting in some SERIOUS time on these games.

I'll try this someday but probably not for quite a while. First I much prefer the turn-based combat of the pre-Blades Xeno games. Second the story and setting look very dark, and the way things are going IRL that's not what I am in the mood for.

XC1 is my personal fave JRPG of all time, so XC3 is also my second fave XC game as the first game is a tall order to surpass. Luved the Chain Attack in this game, but made the combat too easy in this game IMHO, might even be my favorite game of 2022, but still not as good as XC1

The game looks great and the story concept sounds compelling. On the other hand I dread the hours tutorials for the overly involved menu and upgrade systems. I already know the endless repetition of the same character lines during exploration and combat is going to wear on me, and I'm expecting there are a lot of mindnumbingly boring "get 20 of that thing" and "kill 30 of that thing" kind of sidequests.

this is my least favourite xenoblade game. Ngl i felt the story is weak or something was missing (probably dlc content) I guess maybe because the villains weren’t written well in my opinion. Mobeous started out strong but every time i ran into them it just declined. Still a good game and i really enjoy the simplicity of chain attacks. I never bothered too much with interlinks if anything interlinks made it far too easy getting damage exp. especially when u combine that with bonus exp. i was super OP for most of this. I agree about the auto attack whilst moving because my joy con is drifting and that would have solved alot of combat issues i had 😂 Colonies/hero’s were pretty basic and didn’t make me want to stick around long enough to care.

I got muscles and money.

I keep trying to get into this series and think 3 is the best game because of the toned down young adult anime tropes (except the villains, they're pure cringe) and improved combat. But I still don't like the MMO style approach to the combat and overly large, bland environments. Traversal feels weird in these games -- it has more in common with WoW than other single player RPGs. I really just want another Xeno game like gears. It was more mature, had better combat, towns, dialogue, characters, and story, and it wasn't bloated with excess content. I also don't like how the blade games put little teen anime girls in skimpy costumes. I don't get off on cartoons - you can stop that.

Also the rare blades have there own stories which is a nice touch. But the gacha system for the blades is not its strong point. Also xc2 has a great dlc.

Saga's story is overly ambitious for what it tried to achieve but it’s considered the pinnacle of writing and really goes beyond its respective medium to deliver a very multifaceted and deep thought-provoking story and still stands the test of time today until Legend of heroes trails series replaced it in my opinion. But Saga has very complicated and deep philosophical and religious thematic elements with complicated plot developments and an amazingly satisfying ending and payoff. In terms of cinematic visual storytelling and presentation, it’s one of the best experiences of narrative immersion I have ever seen in a rpg game. Although nothing is perfect like the gameplay can be improved in some respects, but as a bold very ambitious project put together by a small team during the early 2000's, its exceptionally a work of art and i am VERY curious to see what you think about these games.

@atariDC_ have you played them? Professional journalist and other authors of literature have noted Xenogears and Saga for being so deep that it that it inspired many artists and creators alike. In other words, most rpgs in those days were developed for kids or teenagers and tend to have more simplified stories which is why at first Xenogears was a proposal for the Final Fantasy VII project which aimed to make FF boldly expand its scope and sophistication of story telling but ended up being scrapped because it was a bit to complicated for the young’uns to understand and instead became its own project that spear headed the Xeno series. Takahashi really wanted something alot more ambitious and more intelligent and this was his dream. When you look back at Xenogears and Xenosaga, they really were far ahead of what most contemporary jrpg projects presented in the medium at that time.

It felt to me like they were gonna go an LGBT route with Sena but didnt fully.

One thing I do like which isn’t exactly related to this but slightly linked is how Sena and Lanz’s relationship felt almost completely platonic and I really liked that, it felt refreshing seeing a guy and a girl just being close best friends and that’s all

Sena might have the weakest writing but she sure is super cute

You lost me when you talked trashed about x. I still go back to that game flying around skells for fun.

I mean that is the fun part.

Honestly, I didn't really like Xenoblade 3. I tried Xenoblade 1 and I tried Torna: The Golden Country. I couldn't get into either. Honestly, this series does nothing for me. Good review, though.

2 was a letdown, but it at least did make for one of your funniest videos to date. I still always think, "I'm a legendary blaaaaaaaade" from time to time.

I did not like 2 when it originally came out, but earlier this year I gave it another look. Man I don’t know what happened but xenoblade 2 is easily one of my favorite games of all time now. Something clicked when replaying it.

3 being more in line with 1 in terms of tone was so nice. A lot of the early parts of xb2 just didn’t land for me at times, but 3 had me hooked right away I loved it

2 was the best, people tend to just not like the lean into anime tropes, but ignore that the themes and story are even deeper than 1

The biggest problem I have with XC2 was its gameplay, leveling system, and environments.

To be honest I was disappointed with xc3 story towards the end. I just don't like the direction monolith soft is going. The whole reviving mechanic were only healers revive is bad. A Boss like one shot the party. I never seen a final boss have like a million phases. Ever since xc2 the series have gone down hill. I see if the dlc will be better, if not I'm done buying games from monolith soft. On a positive note I think xc2 had a better final boss than xc3.

Personally, I find the story of the game is mediocre, the combat is better than XBC1, but slightly less fun that 2. Where the game excels the most is in my opinion in character moments. There were so many great emotional moments and interactions between the characters in the main party, although the villains were really boring. I find the environments are really cool, with a lot of throwbacks to previous games, and a lot of interesting, new locations, as well as lots of variery and stunning visuals. Unfortunately, the HUD is absolutely terrible, taking up way too much space on screen, often distracting from the gorgeous visuals. Similarily, the controls are absolutely atrocious, being very unintuitive, and often very slow to register what you press, and sometimes completely ignore your inputs. I will frequently find myself unable to change characters despite the UI showing me I am supposed to be able to, Ouroborous don't activate when I press to activate them, fusion arts don't register, making my character use a single art rather than a fusion art, and much more. I find it really annoying that there is a button to start auto- running, but there is no button to turn off auto running, often causing my character to run of cliffs when I accidentally turned on auto- running and am desparately trying to make them not run off the tiny platform I am on. I personally played on hard, and have found that it is really hard to beat unique monsters and story bosses, even when slightly overleveled, but fairly easy to beat most normal enemies as long as they don't come in groups and have AOE moves that stun/ instakill your party. Overall a great experience, but with some serious annoyances that make me unable to call it a masterpiece.

Slow to process? You’re switch is having issues if that’s the case. I’ve been perfectly fine.

Almost all of my complaints about 3 are the same as 2 and 1 remaster.... The switch being so very underpowered. I cant wait for the day where we can play all 3 of these games at a HIGH resolution and 60 fps. Imagine how glorious it will be. I get tired of looking at vaseline, and being a pc gamer who actually cares about the quality of my games (console fans tend to just accept anything they are given no matter how bad) so im very much anticipating that day to come.

And it will almost surely never come. You don’t care about quality games- you care about quality looks. That’s why I don’t like most of you PC gamers.

This review feels a little bare bones compared to your usual fare.

This is a series I don't think I will ever understand the appeal of.

Im salty about that expansion pass. This wave system ain’t it especially when it comes to rpgs.

I would never play it after that review. You spam too many info about combat, is it review or tutorial? And seriously, can you talk faster? For those who feel the same XC3 is an amazing game with a beautiful story, full of emotions, satisfying (sometimes complex) combat, tone of side activities and just amazing music. You should check it! I spent 150h and I still want to play. I still prefer XC2 which is a masterpiece, but 3 surpasses it in some aspects.

Yo, you are entitled to your opinion of my review sure. But a review explains the combat mechanics. And YT has a speed up option so use that. But also there is a LOT of information that I'm trying to explain clearly. It's not all about you. Several people have told me they are GRATEFUL that I explained the mechanics in depth and have a better understanding of the game. What's wild is we have similar opinions but you come at me sideways, being rude as hell outta nowhere. Anyways, thanks for watching and the engagement.

I will never own s switch, waiting for PS4 releases.

You’re joking for PS4, right?

1. Xenoblade chronicles 1 2. Xenoblade chronicles X 3. Xenoblade 3 4. Xenoblade 2 Only the original and x are worth playing, 3 was almost great but you can tell it was very rushed. 2 is awful.

Glad to see they're moving away from the cringy, oversexualised artstyle of Xenoblade 2. That game kinda scared me off from the franchise but this one looks much better.
