Forums - Nintendo - Xenoblade Chronicles 3 announced for Switch

It looks so much like Xenoblade 1.

I'm die. Thank you forever.



Around the Network

We got three Xenoblades on the Switch, and no word yet on a port of Xenoblade X. At this point I imagine they are either keeping it for the Switch's final years or they won't bring it at all.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

I'm starting to think a Xenosaga + Xenogears package might be more likely than a Xenoblade X port. XD



Tbh I get more vibes of X's world in the new game than the others so that's likely why anything on X has been silent.



Can we just change the title so this becomes the official thread for anything XBC I don't fancy necro bumping my old thread.

Translating this confirms the game connects XBC and XBC2 even further on top of what the trailer showed

On second inspection, it looks quite similar to XDE in visual quality. Character models are pleasing to look at and Nopon have gotten a visual overhaul as well, tying them more appropriately with the style. Masatsugu Saito is still the character designer but I doubt anyone will dare to accuse of oversexualization, ugly attires and that sort of stuff. Remarkable improvement there.

Four travelling partners instead of three, would be interesting to see four in battle like in X, again. Speaking of X, that world looks to be open, or at least hope it is.

And most of all, I want to know how did High Entia and Gormotti ended up tied together (unless that's Nia specifically).

Pretty exciting! Can't wait for September..



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first. 

Spoiler!
So the game seems (big emphasis on the word seems) to be Nia faction vs. Melia faction, the Xenoblade fan base will never be at peace again :P

I think those two factions are on the same side.

Yeah, it wouldn't surprise me if they join to fight a "major" evil.


So I noticed both Xenoblade 1 and 2 locations in this game. Seemed they merged the worlds but I think the main dude has a resemblance in the face to Shulk. Latter likely more art style.
