You buy all 3

I've already got 2 digitally on Switch so that's not an issue.

I did have 1 but I sold it cause I kinda fell off it. Thinking I might get a voucher and finish both games.

Though tbh I just didn't really like 2 that much - especially when it got to the "you have to deal with the gacha system," parts. I'm not sure I want to finish it, and there's no 'easy mode' to make finishing it just for the story a possibility.
 
Look, If Vandham can get some kind of new future version of him so can every single party member of the first 2 games right?






RIGHT?!

Looked really good. Also, noticed that the character designs are much more palatable now.

Hopefully that also means no bouncey-bounce and "interesting" camera angles.

There must be something about XC. The character, the voice-acting - it was immediately obvious it's XC, even though the artstyle is somewhat different to both XC2 and XCDE.
That paper? birds ability looked really cool.

Wow, at least they dialled back the shitty outfits even if they are still leaning into catgirl stuff.

I need more info to be excited
X2 exhausted me
And I was kind of hoping for X port or X2...
but either way...
I need more info, will wait for the inevitable 45 minute "how to use the battle system" video

Well, I'm stoked. Looks really interesting thematically and graphically. Interesting to see where they take the story from here.

Also, as a Brit, stoked they're sticking with our regional accents.
 
Tonally and aesthetically this looked so much more up my alley than any of the previous Xenoblade titles except Torna maybe.

Did I miss it or did the trailer have no combat footage at all?
 
I'm both in bliss upon seeing XC3 as the title and frustrated since I can't wait to know more about the story given how the wolds in XC1 and 2 are colliding (literally, if the sword valley and a titan in the title screen imply sth, and all the Melia/Nia teases).

XC2 reveal trailer also showed no combat scenes at all, I think it's the same for XCX reveal, MS just always gives us a taste of the landscapes and vistas, then leaves us hungry for more ...
Edit: Torna is an exception however.

OMGGGG and look at the character designs. They listened. Monolith doesn’t need to depend on big tits. Let their gameplay and worlds show how great they are to sell their games.
 
nice to see this announced, and for September to boot

i'm kinda iffy on the whole crossover thing personally but not too worried about it i'm sure the game will turn out great

I know next to nothing about this series, but it looks like a return to form after what seemed like a misstep in two.

Nah, 2 was absolutely fantastic.

XCX was the misstep, in that it was a heavily flawed masterpiece. But all the Xeno games are top, top quality.

There is an easy mode. They added it with some of the post launch updates, though I need to check if it requires the season pass.

Melia is that you?

Anyway, my theory is that this is a xenoblade 1 & 2 merged/combined whatever universe

Looks and sounds like Tyrea.

It sounded similar to Jenna Coleman to me 👀

Hard to tell off one line tho, especially one that has her speaking in a way different tone than normal
 
I'm still legit recovering from this, I might recover after I watch that trailer 200 more times.

Ah, cool. Just booted it up and it is there. Thanks for reminding me!

That cements it. I'm planning a few "don't buy fucking anything," months after the onslaught of games in these months, so a XC1/XC2 wrapup in anticipation of 3 will do well :D

I watched it in Japanese and it kind of sounded like her Japanese voice. It might be a more mature or regal take on her usual voice, since likely many years have passed.

"Summon Aqua!"

In my opinion Torna combat is good for Torna, not a main game. They'd have to majorly tweak it to not feel, um, cheap?

I'm ok with an evolution of the combat to fit whatever they have planned for the game. I just hope they don't use XC1 as a template.
 
Going to be honest: I need to see more, a lot more.

The game didn’t impress me like the announcement of Xenoblade 2 five years ago. It gave me the rehash vibe. That character looks and sounds similar to Nia.

Some environments reminds me of the first game, unless we are in the same world and I miss that in the trailer.

Guess we need to wait to see more until E3.
