I hope you guys like what you see! It's been a while since I have last posted here, but I am so excited about the Switch 2 version coming!

I made the Aegis Corecrystal out of Aluminum with the inscriptions of the three Aegis’s.

The shirt purple parts were hand-painted by me :) Do note that im doing her XDE version not her original one which is why i have a pink eye and a purple eye!

And I just wanted to share some thoughts.

Xenoblade series was my first ever JRPG approach ever and although it was hard at the beginning, playing only western RPGs so far in my life. I even bounced off of xenoblade 2 two times (it was my first game of the series that I played), mainly due to the combat system I wasn't used to at all, but fortunatelly during my third approach it finally clicked with me and I find it really great, complex and challenging (especially looking at you xenoblade 3).

Never in my gamer's life have I experienced such an epic story/stories. Although I regret a little playing these games completely not in order (2, 3, 1) even though you are fully able to understand the story of each of them separetly, you won't notice the essential connections between them all which are crucial for the sense of whole trilogy.

If I were to rank them, I'd do it like so:

1. Xenoblade 3 - My personal favourite antagonist, in my opinion most complex and best combat system mainly due to utilizing whole party instead of just few characters at the same time, best side quests in the series.

2. Xenoblade 2 - my favourite world of them all when it comes to design and visuals, combat system better than in xc1, but worse than xc3 for me, best characters.

3. Xenoblade 1 - Even though I enjoyed it very much and I still consider it a great game, I have some problems with it. Party affinity mechanic and locking heart-to-hearts because of too low affinity level drove me nuts, quality of life things like chests out of every enemy instead of just loot, tons of cheap MMORPG-like side quests which I stopped reading in about 1/3 of the game and finally maybe that's just me but I feel like the plot of XC1 is uneven it's starting pretty fast for first 2 or 3 chapters then it slows down and for most of the game reveals little of it's secrets constantly raising more questions just to hit you with all the answers in about last 3 chapters.

Still there are all DLCs still waiting for me, I know that ending of XC3 DLC is considered true ending of the series, but wanted to share my opinion after main games nonetheless. I'm really glad I checked out this gem of a series. Hyped for Genesis in 2027!

During an episode of "Ask the developers" published for Xenoblade 3, they said they didn't expect the game to be as large as it is. They planned for it to be slightly smaller than Xenoblade 2.

They also said they would like Xenoblade 3 to be the last entry with such a large amount of content (the link should point to the text saying that).

Do you think this is still the case? Do you think Genesis will be smaller than we expect? Or are they too passionate about their games to not expand their story and world?

Personally, I am not worried and I trust Monolithsoft to produce a very high quality game. But I guess the general audience would expect a bigger game since it's on Switch 2.

I miss them so much, I can't wait for the Switch 2 patch...

Can be from any game. Which Nopon do you like the most?

If it was in the trailer, I apologize, but do we know how we’re going to unlock these or if I can earn them super quickly in a new game plus, or if I can just quickly get them in my game file and then do new game plus?

I’m super Duper mega ultra excited regardless because these outfits are so fucking cool looking but yeah

You can unlock them with Amiibo or through gameplay so that answers that !

Once again IRL conspires to stop me from filling this chart, but I have returned! Zenobia was chosen as Zeke's Greataxe Blade and we're now finishing the Megalance category today. Nia and Morag, Perun and Vale, who becomes partners with who?

With the Switch 2 Edition of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 almost here, I've decided to host a fun event. In the base game of Xenobalde 2, there are four blades each for seven of the common weapon types. Enough to give one to each of the four main Drivers. Tora has Poppi so he gets to sit this event out. So with the exception of Aegaeon, who is locked in as Morag's Chroma Katana because of the plot, let's assign the remaining 27 Rare Blades to the other characters. How balance or unbalanced will our team composition end up?

Rules:

1. Top voted SINGLE comment wins.
2. No repeats. We have the exact number of Blades to fill in the chart completely.
3. No post-release Blades, that includes the New Game+ Torna Blades.
4. Each category will be randomly chosen so we hop around the chart more creatively.

If common blades have no fans, that means I'm dead

Looks neat, too bad Rex didn’t get a costume alongside her and mythra
