I'm really impressed with 3's cast overall. All the designs are super solid and unique, while still fitting together. There's enough characters here that you really could make a solid fighting game
Every QoL addition and every mechanic that has been build upon in each game of the main series is in this game! And I'm all for it! I'm just as excited as you Kay! This is going to be the most exciting game experience of this year!
It provided some more context and raised more questions overall, so I think they did great avoiding spoilers. I was worried but couldn't force myself to skip it.
The black knight in X had one too, and the original acronym for BLADE in X was ‘Beyond the Logos Artificial Destiny Emancipator’ iirc so holy shit. Also the red armour/general colour scheme might be related to Ontos
I'm finally watching this and I'm glad the only thing I watched before the game came out was the announcement trailer. Even though there's no mjor spoilers here, it was nice to experience the game without knowing hardly annything
I'm about halfway through Gears currently and have already been noticing a lot of references! The plan is to have Gears finished before Xenoblade 3 drops.
By the by, we’ve already heard incoming! In one of the clips posted on Twitter a few months ago, there’s an except of it when you either get spotted by a monster or engage a unique monster.
The fact that they made it to where the Shulk Amiibo gives us a Monado skin is awesome. I’ve been thinking of getting a Shulk Amiibo for awhile but I’m definitely getting now for this.
God damn that DLC, its gonna be like Xenoblade 2 with lots of content. That song at the beginning was beautiful, reminded me of drifting soul, one last you, and a moment of eternity,.
I love your honest and fun reactions!! No criticizing analysis about what's meh or "not good enough". Just pure enjoyment and excitement for this beautiful game
I am fully convinced that this “Vandam” is Zeke. The eyepatch, the freakish strength, the fashion sense, and even the hair color scream Zeke von Genbu to me. Since he’s a blade eater he would have a naturally longer life than most other humans so that would explain how he’s still around.
I actually cannot see this not becoming part of my Top 5 favourite games, strong candidate for Top 2 already (first one being XCDE). How is there so much crazy stuff in this game and with such high quality??
I will say that overall this was top quality work. Only sad thing is with the Amiibo talk, they could have used this as a reveal for the Pyra & Mythra Amiibos and they missed it. While I don't have Shulk I would love to see what the other Amiibos do.
yeah i agree the designs are way more cohesive than xenoblade 2!! even tho there are many designers, there should be some goal to achieve something that doesnt break immersion
I honestly like the fact that the special Blades didn't have a cohesive design however everyone seemed like they lined up were they came from. But I just don't lose immersion that easy so there is that.
Seeing as they expect us to play this game until December of next year, I wonder when production started and how much content is actually crammed in here.
Calling it now: either the boat is also a mech and we can eventually fly with it, or there's going to be an ouroboros upgrade that lets them fly. This is too big to not have X-style exploration.
Calling it now: they are going to have a third form that results from perfect synchronization. Instead of one or the other in control at a time, both members are, and their stats will reflect this balance; especially since the stats of the forms' we know reflect the one in control.
Own up...you used Tomato Ketchup to re-create the image in your thumbnail and didn't commit to the bit and use real blood by punching a wall for five minutes 🤣
Ketchup?! Whaaaaat? What kind of crazy person would just squeeze some ketchup on their knuckles for a thumbnail gag? That's a wild accusation right there.
Honestly I'm not as hyped as I'd like to be. This game seems to have more in common with XC2 than XC1, which to me is disappointing. Also the setting of the first game, a kind of post apocalyptic setting where the game is based more on exploration, is much more interesting than anything in 2 or so far in 3. It had a more "classic" feeling.. But fingers crossed. Also not not a fan of the more anime direction the series has taken, although this looks less abnoxious than 2. It just sucks to drive at the realization that the first game was seemingly the pinnacle of the series.
Really? I thought this game was deviating from 2 and taking more elements from 1, which I also enjoyed. I agree with what you said about the "classic" feeling and I don't like Saito's artstyle either, the person who's doing the heroes seems to be doing a much better job - I keep saying Monolith Soft's should've just made Kaita Razama make the official art and character designs (he worked for XB1 and X). In any case, I really like what we've seen from 3 so far, like I said, it takes a lot of stuff from 1 and I'm so happy about it.
I am speechless. They literally fused 3 games in one, basically everything, mechanic wise, is into xc3! Cant wait to play it!
For sure! This game looks so impeccably polished and I'm extremely hyped!
A Xenoblade fighting game made in collab with ArcSystem Works would be amazing.
YES! I would die for that!

Did ya see the Tyrant Rave reference!! 14:25 cmon that pose and name can't be coincidence!
KayJulers but then how would you play it?
I think Cell should rename himself to “Not as Perfect as Xenoblade 3 Cell”
Cell x Wild Ride team up when?
@@KayJulers Cell x Wild Ride interlink
@@Magic_Ice they just turn into Jesus and look extremely confused
Every QoL addition and every mechanic that has been build upon in each game of the main series is in this game! And I'm all for it!
I'm just as excited as you Kay!
This is going to be the most exciting game experience of this year!
I like how Alexandria's weapon looks like a fusion between Zeke and morag's weapon
Shulk Amiibo support with Monado Skin & Expansion pass was hype & also getting to see what makes two people fuse into Wild Ride is amazing.
The ability to use the Monado even if it’s just a visual change is so damn cool!
@@KayJulers let's hope we can use the Pyra & Mythra amiibo in a future update. for Aegis! or DLC too
@@MonadoBoyFlameRock amiibo?
I have been very optimistic so far, but what I saw completely blew my expectations. This might become my favourite Xenoblade.
It provided some more context and raised more questions overall, so I think they did great avoiding spoilers. I was worried but couldn't force myself to skip it.
I still love Valdi he is just so cute can't wait yo have him as part of my team
Purple chest things in the council could connect them to the logos core
The black knight in X had one too, and the original acronym for BLADE in X was ‘Beyond the Logos Artificial Destiny Emancipator’ iirc so holy shit. Also the red armour/general colour scheme might be related to Ontos

I'm already loving Alexandria and Gray. Also did you notice Gray's class was "Full Metal Jaguar"?
I did not, but that's a dope reference!
Kay, I saw so many Gears and Saga references. I wasn't sure if you played either game, but man it shocked me. I'm hyped.
I'm about halfway through Gears currently and have already been noticing a lot of references! The plan is to have Gears finished before Xenoblade 3 drops.
This really has been the xenogears….
I’m over halfway through this game and I need to finish it FAST LOL

Gray looks so sick dude
One of the best designs I’ve seen so far.
Feels a little tongue in cheek that the Colony 9 mech bears a striking resemblance to Metal Face
Yeah, considering he killed the Queen of Keves' dad and caused the main party unparalleled trauma... weird call, guys.
MASSIVE SPOILER FOR XENOBLADE ONE!

9:19 that’s the horn of the Bionis sticking out of the water.
They're outright Testaments and Grahf
On top of being the Gazel Ministry.
Mr. Wil D. Ride
We’re just One Piece now with the Wild of D
God damn that DLC, its gonna be like Xenoblade 2 with lots of content. That song at the beginning was beautiful, reminded me of drifting soul, one last you, and a moment of eternity,.

Imagine:
all Noah + Shulk amibo
=
THIS IS THE MOMOMOMOMOMONADO'S POWER
11:18 that was funny af, ALSO THIS WAS BEAUTIFUL
I am fully convinced that this “Vandam” is Zeke. The eyepatch, the freakish strength, the fashion sense, and even the hair color scream Zeke von Genbu to me. Since he’s a blade eater he would have a naturally longer life than most other humans so that would explain how he’s still around.
everything but, you know, his face.
Words can't describe how excited I am for this game!!
Personally, I think 12:19 sounds a lot more like "Battle in the Sky"
Yeah, it has some of those erratic techno sounds going on in there.
@@KayJulers It reminds me of Crossing Swords from XC2.
I actually cannot see this not becoming part of my Top 5 favourite games, strong candidate for Top 2 already (first one being XCDE). How is there so much crazy stuff in this game and with such high quality??
This is gonna be a gargantuan game they’re planning on people to still having things to do with it by December 2023.
I will say that overall this was top quality work. Only sad thing is with the Amiibo talk, they could have used this as a reveal for the Pyra & Mythra Amiibos and they missed it. While I don't have Shulk I would love to see what the other Amiibos do.
I'm really curious when the Pyra & Mythra amiibos will finally release. I didn't get the statues, but I'd like to get those!
I'm so excited for another masterpiece
The hype train is breaking the speed limit! I can't wait for this game!!
yeah i agree the designs are way more cohesive than xenoblade 2!! even tho there are many designers, there should be some goal to achieve something that doesnt break immersion
I honestly like the fact that the special Blades didn't have a cohesive design however everyone seemed like they lined up were they came from. But I just don't lose immersion that easy so there is that.
I still love how en Riku sounds like Yugi
That was amazing! The direct pacing & the info were really cool.
I only just noticed but at 13:53 it shows an enemy being dazed so it looks like both break topple routes might be available
I have a prediction that the dlc will let us use Shulk and rex as the 2 new heros for wave 2 & 3 since their swords are in the dlc art
Seeing as they expect us to play this game until December of next year, I wonder when production started and how much content is actually crammed in here.
No spoilers? I'm shocked!

What if you use a launch+daze fusion art?
19:10 I guess Vess is kinda out of place lol I really love her magical girl/sailor moon vibe though
Melia is off track sicke shulk is gone
It seems sliiightly less weebey than XC2, might check it out

@@egilsama I hope I feel the same as you when it is released. I LOVE XC1 and XCX but 2 was a huge disappointment. Maybe im just cynical now.
Unfortunately, the sound of the Direct is so quiet in your video that it's impossible to enjoy both the Direct AND your reaction.
