I absolutely love the Xenoblade series. 1, 2, and 3 are some of my favorite video games. X was good but had a lot of flaws that took away from the experience (have not tried the Switch version).
Watching this trailer, I'm not sure what to think. Initially watching I was wondering if it was a cross over with Fire Emblem. The seemly school setting does not excite me either, kind of feels like a overused trope. I'm not in love with the new art style, looked generic and not to Switch 2 standards. Kind of sad that the Chronicles series is ending since I loved it so much. I am not impressed by what this trailer showed, it doesn't immediately catch you like 3's trailer. I think showing this before they had English VA was probably a mistake, really took away some of effect of the trailer which more appeared to be more cinematic reveal. I won't dwell on the negatives too much, as I know the Xenoblade team has made so many bangers so far. I'm not sold yet, but I trust when we see more next year, they'll show me the hook.
