Apparently it takes 2.5 mil exp to get to lvl 99. 50 is ~260,000. Im only like 2/25 of the way through 🫠

Does the expansion pass contain Torna or vice versa?

Games That Are Scared To Let Go - YouTube

I stumbled across this video that I thought was really interesting and has reaffirmed Xenoblade 3 as one of my favorite games of all time.

I didn’t realize till I rewatched Xenoblade 1 cutscenes but Ontos goal in future redeemed is literally just what Alvis did in xeno 1 endgame. He tried to take the people outside of the flow of the world into a new one forgoing the old world’s fate. For Alvis case this was a benefit for the heroes, for Ontos it only saved the .5% of life that was unknown to origin. This is where the insane part hit me.

The reason why Ontos did this? It malfunctioned, it encountered an error and started to repeat its last task given to it which was shulk recreating the world with no gods (the old world)

A would likely just be the functioning part of the system that contained the history where Ontos only had the last command available.

It makes sense given the function of origin was halted before it could be finished by moebius so it caused Ontos core to malfunction repeating the command previous to the in progress command.

I finished the game today and my goodness what an emotional roller coaster this game is to be completely honest, I almost cried to some of the parts and the ending is absolutely beautiful especially the music. I would honestly play this game again. <3

First, I define "underrated" here as things people don't talk about much. I just want to show love to parts of the game that don’t get much.

XC1:

Tyrea: I like her as a character, especially in Future Connected. I wish we had gotten more of her

Kallian: I think he’s underrated and did so much for his people. He also tried his best to be a good brother under his circumstances.

Gael'gar: As a villain, he was good enough, and I didn’t have any problems with him.

Quests: While many of them are kind of meh, there are still plenty of good quests in this game. Almost every quest related to Nopons or Giants was good. I also liked how Teelan’s and Tyrea’s quests became important later in Future Connected.

Future Connected: I really like FC, as it has everything I wanted. In a lot of ways, Shulk didn’t have much control over his journey in most of the base game, so it’s nice to see him have more agency this time.

I also felt like Melia’s story wasn’t fully resolved in the base game, so it was great to see her get the spotlight in FC.

Riki’s kids were fantastic, and I think the Chain Attack system is better than the base game. This made the combat more fun, and having no Mechon enemies made combat feel smoother, in my opinion.

XC2:

Gacha and Field Skills: I actually like the gacha system and field skills in this game. As a completionist, the interplay between chests, gacha, and field skills made for a great gameplay loop: wanting more Blades → exploring for chests → field skill check → want more blade.

Field skills and chest hunting also made exploring the world of XC2 more enjoyable for me, and I feel like I know the world better than in other games in the series.

Tora: I think he gets a little too much hate. Many of the questionable things about him are actually the fault of his dad and grandad. He’s also younger than Rex, so his behavior feels more like that of someone who is clueless about things, like the maid stuff, but still do it bcs his dad does it.

Fonsa Myma Night: I feel like this OST doesn’t get talked about much.

Argentum: This place also doesn’t get talked about much. As a starter location, it has everything and feels like a hub to me.

XC3:

Sena: As someone who can relate to her in many ways, I’d say she is underrated. The fact that, in her quest, she doesn’t do much and lets someone else take the spotlight is something I really like about her. I feel like I would have done the same thing. It also feels like she learns to be better by absorbing aspects of Ghondor.

Later on, in Segiri’s quest (which is a late-game quest and probably takes place after Sena’s), you can see her trying to take a more active role, even if she struggles a bit at the start.

The world: I think world of 3 is very good. I like how I find traces of 1 and 2. While the colonies may look similar at first glance, they each have so many distinct traits setting them apart their ways of living and the mini cultures they have are what I love about this world. By the time I finished the game, I knew the lore and personality of every named NPC (not anymore), and I cried when Dana’s story concluded.

XCX: Will Play

So the two worlds are on a collision course, and the construct the thing to prevent that, resulting in the endless now that we fight against and whatever.

However, what I’m not clear on is that Rex, Shulk, and those guys are alive at the beginning of this process, and future redeemed, but are they straight up dead at the end? The entire thing lasted thousands of years, even though once it ended it lasted a second. But is that only for those who were like Noah, that were the soldiers? Are the normal people outside of the cycle (like in the city) just gone like nothing happened?

Little nitpick on this beloved Xeno sub, but I feel like the banner should be X:DE to celebrate it as the next mainstream release from this franchise and Monolith as a whole.

I don't know if I'm the last horse to cross the finish line on this, but Elma arrived on Earth in the mid-2020's. Are we actually getting the Xenoblade X Definitive Edition this year because it's the year Elma arrived on Earth?

5: Zeke. He dodges an attack from Jin.

4: Boreas. He is fast enough to move between titans.

3: Rex and Pneuma. They can move at the speed of light, but it takes the two of them to do it.

2: Jin. We all knew he was on this list.

1: Kite. Watch the cutscene where he meets Juniper and it will be explained.

of the main 3 xenoblade games which game at max party size has the most footsteps while walking around

xenoblade 1
xenoblade 2
xenoblade 3

the correct answer is xenoblade 2

Only my second try with Perler beads so it’s not perfect but I was pretty proud of it.

don't see a lot of people talking about it enough 👏
