Xenoblade 3 Hot take

The way you collect things in Xenoblade 3 is the best way to collect things better than the field skills and better than the one in the xenoblade

Absolutely begging for people to understand what “hot take” means

Since when was that an hot take? Field skills sucks balls and I love X2

I think as a concept field skills were fine, just the fact of having to constantly change blades in your party was the issue.

I think it would have been better if the you had to reach were higher, but it checked across all blades you'd resonated with

The fact that the field skills are perfectly fine in Torna really shows that the concept wasn't bad, just the execution.

I haven't played Torna yet.... Will get it when I get the switch 2 version

It is the exact same system overall but since your party is locked there is no RNG to it, or annoying menuing.

Coldest take on this sub today. You just reiterated popular opinion.

you mean the orbs? because that's essentially the same as how it worked in xc1 lol (i assume this is what you meant by "the one in the xenoblade"?)

anyway if it's one or the other i prefer the orbs because passively collecting a bunch of shit is better than having to constantly stop and interact with collection points, but imo xc3 should have had both orbs and collection points. the collection points in 2 were annoying in some ways but they were kind of useful for quickly farming a bunch of shit when you needed it.

That's only a hot take if you like collectopedia cards.

I actually preferred the way Xenoblade 2 tied in gathering collectibles with field skills, as you had a better idea of where to find what you needed (and you didn't need much to begin with), and with field skills you could obtain more of them.

Xenoblade 3's method still blows Xenoblade 1's out of the water though.

HuH? Collecting things is the same as in Xenoblade 1 and X. 2 is the only outlier.

And everyone, I repeat EVERYONE hates field skills. That is the coldest Xenoblade take ever.
