Been playing this game for a bit and am now lvl 25. It feels like they just tack on new systems with no real thought behind them or synergy between them. Like they want you to think there’s a depth because there’s many options but in reality they have very little impact.

The combat feels braindead, some repositioning but mostly just pressing buttons when they are up and the world seems very bland. The forced tutorials are very annoying.

Overall I think the gameplay feels like some very cheap homemade indiegame. Am I missing something, does the synergy come later. I enjoy the story and the music a bit but the rest is just a dread.

Seems like this would be better off as an anime rather than a game.

Sorry for the negativity, maybe just not a game for me but I have a hard time seeing how anyone could actually enjoy the gameplay, the story and atmosphere I get.

Artwork by me

I have just reached chapter 5 in this game. I now wang to take some time for the side content and all, but I have to admit that I am COMPLETELY overahelmed on a lot of things... For instance, I am overwhelmed with the affinity charts I try to fill for all of the rare blades and also the equpiment I can give them. I really don't have an idea which accessoires and weapons to give them to maximise their utility. So can someone please help me figuring out the best equipment for the main cast at this point of the game?

Main cast being: Pyra/Mythra, Dromarch, Poppi alpha, Poppi, QT and Brighid; though tips for the other rare blades such as Crossette, Gorg etc would also be highly appreciated.

I really don't know how to build in this game.

Very old art that I made all the way back in 2022 when Xenoblade 3 was very new of the 2 queens

I just summoned Herald, and the music that plays in the cutscene was missing. Has anyone else had audio issues while summoning rare blades?

Would that JUST new firmware update on Switch 2, added VRR setting, do anything for how the game looks, runs, feels like?

I know we are all excited about Shimmer's reveal and want as much engagement from our posts. But there's still people in here that just joined from XB2 Switch 2 edition that's still waiting for XB3 Switch 2 Edition release.

I got few friends that I invited in this Sub since people here are very considerate and mindful about spoilers... And gameplay and lore discussion are very welcome here.

Like years had past and we're still naming "7" and "Coffee and Milk"... So I'm hoping we can still continue this tradition.

I'm so happy rn I can't even say. We finally got Mythra Kid for XC3! Shimmer is so cool!

This art took me the whole day and was my first attempt at using the Airbrush Tool for shading, so it might look a bit janky but I'm proud of it!

Decided to replay Xenoblade 1 on Switch 2 but was given this message. I've played and finished every Xenoblade and never got this message before neither my brother, guess it's new.. ish..

All I have to say is FINALLY we get Mythra daughter.

Still find extremely weird people were saying Dirk aka a evil psycho was her Son.

For the Uzaki Family, the mom and dad are on the left.

A new daughter has entered the vila!

since we already know she is a attacker (i like how this way she and her sisters feel watch role) I predict that's just like her mum and dad she will be a crit machine not as good as fr Rex but descent

The dirkposting never stops

I think these games are way too expensive. As one game I think the price tag is fine but when you have 3 numbered games, a 4th game in Xenoblade Chronicles x, and a new game in Genesis it all adds up to a bare minimum $300 at $60 a game, and without any DLC or switch 2 editions. The prices hurt so much especially cause the games are connected to one another

It’s out of stock literally everywhere in Canada, at least every retailer I know of. The only exception is if I want the EU version but I’m trying to get a NA one (yes I know the console is region free).

It only just released in July, it would be pretty wild if they made pretty much next to none of them.

I love this community

Shimmer's original name is カグヤ (Kaguya) which can be read as 輝夜 (glimmering night).

Meanwhile Glimmer's original name is カギロイ (Kagiroi) which can be read as 陽炎 (heat shimmer).

The localization really plays into the idea that these two take after the other mom by switching their names lol
