Rumor: Xenoblade Chronicles 3 nearing final stages of development

[curl-6]

Between Khan and those backing him up, plus it not exactly being a far fetched proposition to begin with, I'm leaning towards this rumor being true. Being set in the far future should be interesting as it gives Monolith the opportunity to refresh the setting instead of being too closely tied to 1 and 2, so I like the sound of that. It's also nice to hear we can probably expect it in the first half of next year, instead of being a long ways off.

If Nintendo have another September Direct this year maybe we'll see it there.

Same genre but not the same storyline or universe, sorta like how the Final Fantasy games aren't narratively connected.

Actually you may want to be careful here as all the games may be connected the series hasn't just gotten far enough to elaborate, XBC2 has elements that reference X indicating a possible connection. Takahashi tends to have a large overarching connection with his work and X maybe the part of the whole arch that fills in the gaps of the numbered games in future.

That is possible, I was just trying to explain things simply to someone unfamiliar with the series and confused about the different games.
