Honestly, I'm glad, as much as I like the Xenoblade games, I wanna see Monolith do something different next, preferably a new IP.

For all intents and purposes, X might as well have been a new IP, and 1 and 2 were mostly self-contained before the Zanza/Klaus reveal. 

Personally I don't mind if they continue the trend and Xenoblade 3 is another new world with late game connections. That way newcomers can jump right in and people like me can still geek out at the interconnections between the worlds.

Though didn't X end with a cliffhanger? The game wasn't really my jam so I never finished, but I thought I read something like that. I probably wouldn't get it but XCX fans probably deserve closure at some point.

X was still definitely the same IP, it was more similar to Xenoblade 1 and 2 than many mainline Final Fantasy games are to each other.

And I'd rather they not follow up X; it wasn't a bad game but it was a bit disappointing and I'd rather see them try their hand at something fresh. Hopefully that Western-ish action RPG mentioned about a year back fits the bill.
