They just have to get rid of the ugly ass UI from Xenoblade 2. How do you want to sell your game when people who don't know a damn thing about Xenoblade see this.

You could really say that about any of the Xenoblade games. All the UI’s are pretty intimidating and take some little time to understand.They just have to get rid of the ugly ass UI from Xenoblade 2. How do you want to sell your game when people who don't know a damn thing about Xenoblade see this.
Not only is it a dumb complaint, it's a bad one too because without whitespace, the UI would be extremely cluttered and hard to parse.
nah. trying to tell the same story over again is the kind of thing that makes me have less faith it'll turn out well. but it's not like I think Takahashi is some masterful storyteller to begin with
questions about XCX being answered in XC3 makes me feel like they've given up on XCX's story if anything. unlike a lot of people, I like it more than XC1 and XC2, so I'd rather XCX's story and it's method of storytelling to continue in its own line of games rather than be lumped in with some larger attempt at telling an epic (again) that vaguely connects to each other
I'm not sure all of these are valid. The driver portraits are round unlike the driver/arts diamonds because they need to tell the player what level their special is at, which it does with the little spinning white dots. There might be other ways that could have been achieved, but it works very effectively in-game to get your attention right away, which can be important to keeping a blade combo going. And the icons complaint about the blades at the left doesn't make sense to me because the blades' weapon type and element are important to have access to if you don't have them memorized or if you're using common blades. The actual nameplate itself? Sure that's too busy, but the set of element, name, and weapon need to be there.They just have to get rid of the ugly ass UI from Xenoblade 2.

If anything, it gives me more confidence that they do plan on continuing XCX’s story. If XC3 has some ties to XCX (such as Aionios being Mira before it was pulled into XCX’s universe), I fully expect XCX to finally be ported to Switch next, and since XC3 is said to be the end of an arc comprised of XC, XC2, and XC3, it would make a lot of sense for MonolithSoft’s next Xenoblade game after XC3 to be a sequel to XCX, continuing that game’s story. Sounds like a huge win for XCX fans to me? (And that includes myself, of course—I absolutely adore XCX, though I’m not one to pick favorites between the Xenoblade games and I love them all for different reasons.)
I was sold on the title. You can tell me the there’s a new 3D Zelda coming and I’m already sold before I see it.
If it was 3 party members max in the party I would agree, but 4 party members is more X-like. Even if you discount the optional party, that game had around 7 or 8 characters who were core to the main story for at least one chapter. 6 just seems too small, 7 or 8 seems more in line with what they've done with 4-person parties for me.
For comparison, this is what Xenoblade 2 looked like at E3 2017, 6 months before release.
Vs Release:
E3 Trailer:
At Release:
E3 vs retail:
September 2017 direct vs E3 2017:
For some reason, the E3 2017 trailer was really blurry/low res. It and other details like lighting, texture, particle effects, etc got improved drastically by release.
Xenoblade 3's visuals 7 months away from release:
With 7 months left, Monolith can improve their visuals even more with that time left. The fact it looks this good already especially compared to how Xenoblade 2 looked with a similar time left in development, it's great. I'm hoping for even more visual polish like 2 got in the final months.
What's interesting is some of these shots in the trailer are much blurrier than the screenshots, like this one if you look between the two (this is the screenshot version):
I doubt the Youtube compression is blurring it that much, so something's weird. Also the hue of this scene in particular is much greener in the screenshot vs the trailer despite both being the same cloudy day time environment. Weird. I love how this game is shaping up though and I can't wait to see more.
Framerate looks great already in the running shots, Xenoblade 2 and Torna's gameplay trailers all had framerate issues up until a couple months before release. XBC3 looking this clean already is a fantastic sign and I love the visuals/cinematography of the material they've shown. It just needs a little resolution boost during the gameplay segments and it'll be one gorgeous game.
Not sure that's true, do you have a quote?I'm struggling to wrap my head around thisbut I think I get the gist of it. I just think if X was described as a sub series by Takahashi then it should stay that way. The games being numbered should stand for something.
Another possibility is that they introduce an oficial explanation at the beginning of the game and that in a middle-point event or end scenes they reveal the REAL events, ala Evangelion's First and Second Impact explained at Shinji's school.I actually expect more that they'll save the explanation of the fusion until the halfway point, or maybe even the final few chapters.
But that's just because I expect a big mid-story twist, followed by a near-end mindblow. Because it's a Takahashi game. If they explain the fusion in the beginning then I wouldn't know what to expect to come later. Dang... that means that's probably exactly what they'll do, huh?
After what Takahashi and Saga did with Perfect Works, and knowing he wrote a massive "novel" creating the lore for XCX, I trust him totally I'm sure he knows what he's doing with this... I algo believe the theory that the enormous work planning the world of XCX has connection with the other Xeno games.

Mochizuki knew too? I know Imran had his report last year
Damn. I didn’t know he was one of us.
Nintendo hates us.
Hope this doesn’t mean anything for 3
I actually see that being available. Mitsuda pushed for XC2’s album release.Hope this doesn’t mean anything for 3
it makes sense to think of Xenoblade 1 and 2 a remake of the concepts of Xenosaga and Xenogears. the storytelling is way more streamlined because Takahashi twice wrote long ass stories that he couldn't complete.
is Sony the owner of that music or are they just distributing it? I know soem of X's music came from Sawano's older catalog
I don’t think it’s something that’ll be presented as a major plot twist. I think we were supposed to pick up on it. It’s why they’re there and what’s happened to them that’s the mystery
Why hide what happened at first half of story
The music is so different from the rest of the series. I would’ve loved to have it, especially those atmospheric tracks. But it would’ve felt better to have it with a Xenoblade X stage.
Definitive Edition never got an official soundtrack release in general. Just the sample tracks that came with some of the Special Editions.
I love this Forums so much already lmao
it's looking good.
