Considering XC2's Expansion Pass was very meaty and included Torna (basically an entire seperate game), I'm not upset about XC3 having an Expansion Pass, I'm hyped.
Oh I have no worries about the quality of the expansion pass. I'm just bummed that the story expansion is going to to take until 31st December 2023. I'll be long finished with the game and moved on to another game by then. I hate getting back into a game after not playing it for a long time. It's just really hard for me to get back into the mood for it. It's the reason why I haven't even played Torna yet even though I bought it with the XC2 expansion long ago. It just came out too long after I was finished with XC2.
I just finished the game and I can't wait to see her reaction to a lot of the cutscenes. Especially the ending, omg. She might end up crying more than during xc2's or Torna's ending.
Parts of XC3 have been conceptualized even before the development of XC2. I can't wait to see how Monolith combines XC1 and XC2 in order to give us the chills. Also: The music is insane. My god.
I literally teared up during the Direct. I feel anxious about saying this, but I honestly feel like this could potentially be the ultimate Xeno game and one of the best rpg of all time. I can't believe we are getting this game in a month.
It looks so good. And I understand why your chat keeps thinking the antagonists in red remind them of Organization XIII... but.. they really remind me of the Testaments from Xenosaga.
Everything had me extremely hyped but when I saw the new quest navigation system I was actually popping off. I have a serious hatred for XC2’s navigation system.
Yeah, that compass was terrible, but i had a feeling this game would improve upon it since Definitive Edition has something similar which replaced the arrow the original on Wii had, so they learned their lesson
I love how universally hyped the community is. Literally haven’t seen a single xeno fan complain yet, nothing but ‘how is this a month away’ and ‘this is gonna be the best xenoblade to date.’ Goes to show how amazing of a dev Monolith is!
Alright. Here's where I draw the line. XC1, XC2 and XC3 don't have a connecting story and the sequels don't feel like they're connected to xenoblade chronicles in anyway besides game mechanics. They could have at least kept the same characters or have them join the story later, but nope. They don't do that. XC2's dlc does not count. Shulk and fiora are blades for some reason when they are homs and apperantly, rex is too lazy to make his own weapon like shulk did with the junk sword, so he just uses other people's weapons. The resident evil series did something like this, but at least there's actually a story that's connected with the main game series.
fun fact: "Boundless World" is how Alvis called the new world that Shulk wished for when he defeated Zanza/Half Klaus. "Shulk. This new world is boundless. It is home to not only you, but many forms of life. I can see it. In this world, all life will walk towards the future"
10:37 is just like Colony 9 from XC1! Look at the map and everything! On the left was where Dunban's house (over there!) used to be with the market area in the middle and the bridge behind them! Love these details!
If you look at the top left corner of your screen at that time you'll find that the name of the area is Colony 9 Barracks. So the location may actually be Colony 9 of XC1!
I mean if the expansion pass is anything like 2's then we're getting two games in one plus extras for the price of 1 1/2. Most dlc is shifty but Monolith does what it should be, complete game and then a whole lot more instead of, an unfinished game and something that barely finishes it.
I’m calling it now; the soldiers we see from Agnus and Keves are likely just drones and not “actual people” in a similar vein to the mimeosomes in Xenoblade X (as one of many inherited themes from previous games.) Would line up with their literal ability to be programmed with new combat techniques on the fly, and how they have virtual vision that displays the “RPG mechanics” as an actual plot device. It would also explain the flagrant disregard for their lives as expendable tools; but it begs the question why Nia and Melia (if they are indeed the “queens” of these people) and their comrades would allow this status quo to happen in the first place. So how the two worlds came to be like this is probably the “big narrative” that will be revealed throughout the story. But I’m certain the main narrative will definitely be about Noah and the gang asserting their personhood and overturning this established state of the world.
I'm positive its more so clones since that one character says they can "grow more" soldiers. It'd also explain why the life spans are iffy if the clones cant live long naturally. Plus we will probably see some clone pod for eunie and thats where the "why is my name on here" line comes from. Plus we literally see an evil looking noah who is probably the original or the product of trying to create a god using project noah from xenogears.
@@RedTheWeeb Ah good points. However, I used the term "drones" in the sense that they are just autonomous "weapons systems". Even the Clone Troopers in Star Wars are essentially biological droids with analagous programing. Those clones also had accelerated aging, which is a common element in sci-fi settings with "weaponized cloning", like Metal Gear and films like The 6th Day. And the characters being "copies" still thematically references Xenoblade X's mimeosomes; regardless if they are biological clones or synthetic ones. I overlooked the possibility of elements from Xenogears also being referenced in this game. So the possibility that "Noah" is taking direct inspiration from Karellen's plan to make a new god is very interesting. The resurrection of Deus, a biological-machine hybrid is also thematic to Xenoblade 3; in the sense that the "virtual" world of the Bionis and Mechonis (itself a biological-machine duality) of Xenoblade 1, and the "physical" world of Alrest in Xenoblade 2 merged together. Not to mention the Ouroboros which literately fuses two individuals from these different worlds together into a new life form. So it all checks out. I just hope there is a good pay off to justify the whole "opposing clone armies" thing, which seems to be the crux of the stories main conflict.
@@RedTheWeeb honestly can we even be sure that their lifespans are actually short or just everyone gets it cut short one way or another? Cause threw death on the battlefield or sacerfice to their queen seem to be the main ways to go.
I half-agree. I think this is the prototype technology for the Lifehold and Mimeosones in XBX. Except here it's rather cruel and unrefined and requires actualy biological bodies, hence the clone vessels we see in the Direct. And the red energy that the giant weapons suck in could be the "soul energy" that is necessary to make new soldiers aka have them reborn. That's why that one "bad" guy with the mask looks kinda like an older Noah - might be a previous clone. But that's all just my speculation ^^
What story? None of the characters from the previous games return and it's just pratically a new story that doesn't pick up where the other games left off.
@@barneygobrrrrr8781 I'm saying that it's unlikely for characters from the previous games to make a return and fight alongside the new characters.

@@barneygobrrrrr8781 It's fine. I actually just found out that the dlc for XC3 might have shulk and rex playable, but I feel like dlc in this series is it's own seperate thing. Also if shulk and rex do make a return, they're going to be using their signature weapons. Shulk is going to be using the monado (future connected one for some reason) and rex will be using the sword that came with pyra. (I forgot what it was called. Pls don't hate me)
People upset over the expansion pass makes no sense. Pretty much the same as the Xenoblade 2 expansion pass. If the new story scenario is as big as Torna, that is already worth the $30 right there.
Nintendo’s has a track record of *not* creating on-disc DLC, so any new content is just that; new content. So why would you be upset that a good game would get additional content?
People upset have no idea of how great the Torna DLC was. This is the first time I was so happy to see a game with additional DLC. The Torna story was my favorite part of XC 2 it felt like a sequel. If monolifth puts as much time and love into it as they did Torna its more than worth the money. If they go the nintendo route with barely any content then yeah its going to be disappointing....but I'm optimistic 😃
I’m so ready for this game. I don’t have any friends that like Xenoblade Chronicles. So it’s refreshing seeing all these people just as excited as I am to play Xenoblade Chronicles 3.
I sold my switch cuz it was collecting dust for 10 months then got a new one when XC3 got announced, XC2 was one of the best games i played the hype is real for XC3, hopefully i won't sell my switch again after im done with this game tho lol
It's hard to believe people who are upset about the expansion pass have played Torna. The only reason I'm vaguely annoyed by it is instead of playing the game day one and finishing it and being done I'll feel the need to come back to it every few months for the extra content, and that'll get in the way of other games. At that price, if the DLC is as good as all of 2's was, it's worthwhile.
XC2's dlc was stupid. Shulk and fiora were blades when they are homs and they should have shown up in the main story. Apperantly rex also is too lazy to make his own weapon like shulk did with the junk sword, so rex just uses other people's weapons
If people haven’t noticed yet Keves and Agnus represent the two worlds of Xenoblade. Keves being Xeno 1 and Agnus being Xeno 2. look at the main party the Keves crew of a Homs, High Entia, and a Machina, then the Agnus crew of a Gormotti, Homs, and Blade.
More importantly, we get another pair of K and A country names like we did initially with Xenogears. Also, Noah's ouroboros form is basically the Weltall from Xenogears. Monolithsoft is reaching deep for this game with its references.
Finally Tetsuya Takahashi will be able to tell us the story of Xenogears with Xenoblade, all because of Square soft that didn't support him at that time, but still it's better Monolith was created and left at the end with Nintendo
I come to remember that all that people that rejects the expansion pack, are rejecting Torna. Which was the expansion for XC2, or Future Connected. I mean, I paid 60 for games shorter and more boring than Torna
OMG I'm actually getting hyped for this. I hope we find out that Riku's voice is him doing a fake deep voice like a kid would. That would just be the height of hilarity (and right in line for a Nopon).
It's genuinely baffling that Fire Emblem and Xenoblade can have such great games on the way, but Mario Strikers is gonna be remembered by the wider casual audience and it doesn't even have Daisy in it.
I think Mario strikers is gonna go how Mario golf did, low content now means low sales and the game doesn't get to actually be good threw updates. Meanwhile, fire emblem and Xenoblade will remain ready for those who are willing to give it a shot.
Honestly can’t stand these types of comments. First off, Fire Emblem 3 hopes isn’t a traditional FE title and due to the Musou genre still being niche, with or without Strikers, the game would end up being like Age of Calamity where only die hard fans would remember or even play the game due to being spin offs of what are successful Switch games. Secondly, Xenoblade has always been a niche series. Heck, even the other Monolith previous ‘Xeno’ games haven’t sold exceptionally well due to the extremely niche audience. And finally, Mario Strikers has always been a series with a massive cult following and despite its lackluster content line up, Battle League is still an extremely fun experience with the Strikers gameplay people have grown accustomed to. Whether you like the practice or not, more content is coming and Daisy would sure as heck be one of them. For context, Mario Strikers: Charged on the Wii sold 1.7 million copies, while Xenoblade Chronicles only managed less than a million. It’s just the nature of the beast, Xenoblade, Metroid and FE will ALWAYS be niche titles. They just don’t sell as well as other Nintendo franchises. Just accept it and stop sulking!
I'm so far behind, I spent so long looking forward to your XC2 playthrough and I haven't even watched half of it yet T_T I'm glad it helped leave such an impression on you that you're this excited for this one though, 2 was my favourite and this looks like it's gonna be as bonkers
The Pokémon company wishes that they could make games half as good as Monolithsoft. Of course, maybe if Gamefreak actually spent more money developing Pokémon, and released games once every three years instead of yearly, we would see a marked increase in the quality of those games.
@@dragonmaster1500 the funny thing is Pokemon sale you the games if they gonna have all what Xenoblade 3 have, heck even Arceus doesn't look the half as good like this game. Is sad for pokemon fans because they gonna buy those games two times regardless of how shitty they look.
@@dragonmaster1500 Gamefreak works on The Pokemon Company's schedule. That is why the Pokemon games feel rushed. Gamefreak and The Pokemon Company have a different kind of relationship than Monolithsoft and Nintendo.
@@jenniferhamels1176 True enough, the issue is that Gamefreak doesn't give the Pokémon Company the time, money and personnel for their games to even begin reaching towards forewords. Pokémon is one of the highest grossing franchises of all time, if Gamefreak funneled even a few more percent back into the development cycle, game the Pokémon company more time and hired some more employees to work on the games, then they might start getting better again. @sebastian maldonado, A lot of people, myself included, don't really care about the graphical style of Pokémon, we just want the games to have better gameplay and deeper more interesting narratives. Better graphics are nice, but if the story and gameplay can't hold up then everything falls apart. The only thing Pokémon still has going for it in the newer generations is the music.
@@dragonmaster1500 Pokemon is the highest grossing media franchise of all time. The video games contribute to around 20% of it. And Gamefreak doesn't make all video games. For example Gamefreak doesn't see a single penny from Niantic's PokemonGO. The ownership of Pokemon is convoluted. It isn't as simple as Gamefreak benefiting from anything made with "Pokemon" on it like people would assume it works. Pokemon is the biggest media franchise of all time but Gamefreak doesn't benefit from the entire media franchise. For simplicity think of the Pokemon Company as an investment. 3 companies came together to create the Pokemon Company. A company that was created to autonomously run the entire Pokemon brand. Even though all 3 companies equally own the Pokemon Company. To protect the 3 companies from collusion to push someone out, The Pokemon Company itself has full managerial say. Because of how massive the Pokemon media franchise has become, The Pokemon Company itself is worth more than Creatures, Gamefreak, and Nintendo combined. So just like a stock investment, until Creatures, Gamefreak or Nintendo sell off their ownership of the Pokemon Company they aren't "rich" yet. Also, to add, even though Gamefreak is part owner of The Pokemon Company, they work for The Pokemon Company as exclusive developers for mainline games. Gamefreak has no choice but to adhere to The Pokemon Company's strict schedule. Does Gamefreak have the resources to expand and hire more people to help with the workload from the profits they earned from the games they develop? Yes they do, but don't confuse and correlate the size of the Pokemon media franchise as a whole to how much money you think Gamefreak actually have.
maybe it's because i have recently played 1 and 2. but this is for me, the best one. i'm about 40 hours in. and have had my mind blown over and over. the story is impeccable, the characters are great and have amazing chemistry and arcs. i'd recommend it to anyone. but i would recommend you play de and 2 first. it would be perfectly fine on it's own, but there are so many references, locations and characters from the first 2 games that will just fly straight over your head if you skip them.
Xenoblade games have a certain emotional impact, that no other franchise has, or can ever be. We will all be crying when playing this game and I'm all here for it! 😭
@@PenguinsAreColdish I just clicked on your comments to Sarah's Channel, and a recent one was you complaining about her reaction to XC2..you clearly haven't played it and have no idea the impact it can have on people that actually play it.

I haven’t even watched this up until now, and I’m about to start it. 😂 So, I’m not sure if you realize, but the sword you keep saying looks like the Monado is the Mechonis Sword, or at least looks much more like it. I actually can’t wait. That navigation feature is perfect. You can swap characters?!? That’s so awesome!!! The classes look awesome too. This looks like the best game ever.😄
17:33 Well, there's good news there. It was recently confirmed that 'Heroes' join you after completing special quests involving them. No gacha this time. Yay for not being at the mercy of the Random Number Generator. :)
I think they’re gonna do a thing where it turns out you don’t actually die after 10 years, they just use ether stuff or ‘magic’ to make sure you die after 10 years And they’re gonna do a scene where mio is like “well off I go” and then just doesn’t die
I still like the concept of the fact that the mechonis sword is the one that pierced the urayan titan. they are literally two covers on their respective games put together into something interesting and kind of ironic lol

Shulk is going to be using the monado (future connected one for some reason) and rex will be using the sword that came with pyra. (I forgot what it was called. Pls don't hate me)
People upset over the expansion pass makes no sense. Pretty much the same as the Xenoblade 2 expansion pass. If the new story scenario is as big as Torna, that is already worth the $30 right there.
Nintendo’s has a track record of *not* creating on-disc DLC, so any new content is just that; new content. So why would you be upset that a good game would get additional content?
Well, it does make sense if the people who are mad haven't played Xenoblade 2 or haven't heard about it...
@@Nachtflut People complaining are not randos who never played XC2 or Torna.
People upset have no idea of how great the Torna DLC was. This is the first time I was so happy to see a game with additional DLC. The Torna story was my favorite part of XC 2 it felt like a sequel. If monolifth puts as much time and love into it as they did Torna its more than worth the money. If they go the nintendo route with barely any content then yeah its going to be disappointing....but I'm optimistic 😃
I’m so ready for this game. I don’t have any friends that like Xenoblade Chronicles. So it’s refreshing seeing all these people just as excited as I am to play Xenoblade Chronicles 3.
"This game is going to DESTROY ME!!!!" you said what we were all thinking Sarah
I sold my switch cuz it was collecting dust for 10 months then got a new one when XC3 got announced, XC2 was one of the best games i played the hype is real for XC3, hopefully i won't sell my switch again after im done with this game tho lol
Hold out till botw2 at least
@@cikembra2389 Thats the plan!
Me going into xc3: happy smiling like this
Me after playing : unable to stop crying for 3 days
It's hard to believe people who are upset about the expansion pass have played Torna.
The only reason I'm vaguely annoyed by it is instead of playing the game day one and finishing it and being done I'll feel the need to come back to it every few months for the extra content, and that'll get in the way of other games.
At that price, if the DLC is as good as all of 2's was, it's worthwhile.
XC2's dlc was stupid. Shulk and fiora were blades when they are homs and they should have shown up in the main story. Apperantly rex also is too lazy to make his own weapon like shulk did with the junk sword, so rex just uses other people's weapons
His names Noah because lol xenogears
If people haven’t noticed yet Keves and Agnus represent the two worlds of Xenoblade. Keves being Xeno 1 and Agnus being Xeno 2. look at the main party the Keves crew of a Homs, High Entia, and a Machina, then the Agnus crew of a Gormotti, Homs, and Blade.
More importantly, we get another pair of K and A country names like we did initially with Xenogears. Also, Noah's ouroboros form is basically the Weltall from Xenogears. Monolithsoft is reaching deep for this game with its references.
@@nicodalusong149 I definitely think that this game will also have a lot more inspiration from Xenogears.
Finally Tetsuya Takahashi will be able to tell us the story of Xenogears with Xenoblade, all because of Square soft that didn't support him at that time, but still it's better Monolith was created and left at the end with Nintendo
I come to remember that all that people that rejects the expansion pack, are rejecting Torna. Which was the expansion for XC2, or Future Connected.
I mean, I paid 60 for games shorter and more boring than Torna
Yes, DLCs for current game plus an entire new game for $30 is pretty chill
Name them, name games shorter and more boring than torna. Would love to hear it lol
@@hartfantom Diablo III
@@hartfantom Horizon 2. Beautiful but...boring
@@hartfantom >Implying torna is boring
Ok buddy let us not get ahead of ourselves
The tracking guide is from Xenoblade X.
They really have brought the best of all the games into one.
I mean last time we had an Expansion Pass we got Torna: The Golden Country. I ain't complaining!
It has come to my attention that you are very excited for Xenoblade 3
OMG I'm actually getting hyped for this. I hope we find out that Riku's voice is him doing a fake deep voice like a kid would. That would just be the height of hilarity (and right in line for a Nopon).
*Girl who only played Kingdom Hearts* : getting real big Kingdom Hearts vibes from this
It's genuinely baffling that Fire Emblem and Xenoblade can have such great games on the way, but Mario Strikers is gonna be remembered by the wider casual audience and it doesn't even have Daisy in it.
I think Mario strikers is gonna go how Mario golf did, low content now means low sales and the game doesn't get to actually be good threw updates. Meanwhile, fire emblem and Xenoblade will remain ready for those who are willing to give it a shot.
Honestly can’t stand these types of comments. First off, Fire Emblem 3 hopes isn’t a traditional FE title and due to the Musou genre still being niche, with or without Strikers, the game would end up being like Age of Calamity where only die hard fans would remember or even play the game due to being spin offs of what are successful Switch games.
Secondly, Xenoblade has always been a niche series. Heck, even the other Monolith previous ‘Xeno’ games haven’t sold exceptionally well due to the extremely niche audience.
And finally, Mario Strikers has always been a series with a massive cult following and despite its lackluster content line up, Battle League is still an extremely fun experience with the Strikers gameplay people have grown accustomed to. Whether you like the practice or not, more content is coming and Daisy would sure as heck be one of them.
For context, Mario Strikers: Charged on the Wii sold 1.7 million copies, while Xenoblade Chronicles only managed less than a million.
It’s just the nature of the beast, Xenoblade, Metroid and FE will ALWAYS be niche titles. They just don’t sell as well as other Nintendo franchises. Just accept it and stop sulking!
LESS THAN A MONTH AWAY!!!
1, X, 2 and Torna combined. GOTY is almost here!(sorry Elden Ring)
Not to mention Xenogears
I'm so far behind, I spent so long looking forward to your XC2 playthrough and I haven't even watched half of it yet T_T I'm glad it helped leave such an impression on you that you're this excited for this one though, 2 was my favourite and this looks like it's gonna be as bonkers
Happy to get an excuse to rewatch this direct! Can't wait, even this already makes me feel emotional. Just hope it lives up to it!
Finally got around to watching this. Looks insanely amazing. And the MUSIC!! Top Tier!!! Can't wait for all the screams and laughs and tears 😄
7:08
That’s the mechonis sword btw
This game is on a Switch? This game is what Pokemon fans want. An open world with animals living around, pretty graphics and good animations.
The Pokémon company wishes that they could make games half as good as Monolithsoft. Of course, maybe if Gamefreak actually spent more money developing Pokémon, and released games once every three years instead of yearly, we would see a marked increase in the quality of those games.
@@dragonmaster1500 the funny thing is Pokemon sale you the games if they gonna have all what Xenoblade 3 have, heck even Arceus doesn't look the half as good like this game. Is sad for pokemon fans because they gonna buy those games two times regardless of how shitty they look.
@@dragonmaster1500 Gamefreak works on The Pokemon Company's schedule. That is why the Pokemon games feel rushed. Gamefreak and The Pokemon Company have a different kind of relationship than Monolithsoft and Nintendo.
@@jenniferhamels1176 True enough, the issue is that Gamefreak doesn't give the Pokémon Company the time, money and personnel for their games to even begin reaching towards forewords.
Pokémon is one of the highest grossing franchises of all time, if Gamefreak funneled even a few more percent back into the development cycle, game the Pokémon company more time and hired some more employees to work on the games, then they might start getting better again.
@sebastian maldonado,
A lot of people, myself included, don't really care about the graphical style of Pokémon, we just want the games to have better gameplay and deeper more interesting narratives. Better graphics are nice, but if the story and gameplay can't hold up then everything falls apart. The only thing Pokémon still has going for it in the newer generations is the music.
@@dragonmaster1500 Pokemon is the highest grossing media franchise of all time. The video games contribute to around 20% of it. And Gamefreak doesn't make all video games. For example Gamefreak doesn't see a single penny from Niantic's PokemonGO.
The ownership of Pokemon is convoluted. It isn't as simple as Gamefreak benefiting from anything made with "Pokemon" on it like people would assume it works. Pokemon is the biggest media franchise of all time but Gamefreak doesn't benefit from the entire media franchise.
For simplicity think of the Pokemon Company as an investment. 3 companies came together to create the Pokemon Company. A company that was created to autonomously run the entire Pokemon brand. Even though all 3 companies equally own the Pokemon Company. To protect the 3 companies from collusion to push someone out, The Pokemon Company itself has full managerial say. Because of how massive the Pokemon media franchise has become, The Pokemon Company itself is worth more than Creatures, Gamefreak, and Nintendo combined. So just like a stock investment, until Creatures, Gamefreak or Nintendo sell off their ownership of the Pokemon Company they aren't "rich" yet. Also, to add, even though Gamefreak is part owner of The Pokemon Company, they work for The Pokemon Company as exclusive developers for mainline games. Gamefreak has no choice but to adhere to The Pokemon Company's strict schedule.
Does Gamefreak have the resources to expand and hire more people to help with the workload from the profits they earned from the games they develop? Yes they do, but don't confuse and correlate the size of the Pokemon media franchise as a whole to how much money you think Gamefreak actually have.
maybe it's because i have recently played 1 and 2. but this is for me, the best one. i'm about 40 hours in. and have had my mind blown over and over. the story is impeccable, the characters are great and have amazing chemistry and arcs. i'd recommend it to anyone. but i would recommend you play de and 2 first. it would be perfectly fine on it's own, but there are so many references, locations and characters from the first 2 games that will just fly straight over your head if you skip them.
"If the world holds our lives back, I will end it!" Is such a good line.. I cant wait to see the context of that line.
I said in stream that I’d watch this again if you uploaded it, so here I am! SO GODDAMN HYPED!
This game is the reason I'm not paying my phone bill in July it also helps avoid spoilers from data miner's
Xenoblade games have a certain emotional impact, that no other franchise has, or can ever be. We will all be crying when playing this game and I'm all here for it! 😭
nah
@@PenguinsAreColdish I just clicked on your comments to Sarah's Channel, and a recent one was you complaining about her reaction to XC2..you clearly haven't played it and have no idea the impact it can have on people that actually play it.
The games have great storylines, many likeable characters and combat systems that are so in depth and rewarding, you are missing out, and to be fair I'm glad you're missing out with that attitude 😆
@@MrMarvell yeah that's cool and all but to say it has an emotional impact that no other game has? play more games bruh
i can promise im not missing out on this cringe weeb waifu collector game for 16 year old boys
@@PenguinsAreColdish Haha well I've played plenty of games with an emotional impact, Red Dead 2 is right up there, Assassin's Black Flag because of that ending, the first Last of Us as well and many more, can you give any examples?
@@MrMarvell shin megami tensei 3 or 4, bloodborne, any final fantasy, persona 3 or 4, shadow of the colossus, nier automata, nier replicant, the witcher 3, catherine, chrono trigger, tales of symphonia, etc.
the fact that ac4 is one of the first games that came to your mind speaks volumes, no wonder you think no game has as much emotional impact as xenoblade lol
looks like they learned with Rex Voiceactor joice and did it right this time :D
I was waiting for your reaction. Thank you!
Amazing direct! I have a feeling this will be the best Xenoblade ever.
The vibes for this game are so good omg
so the alarm thing. that is definitely a thing if you have an android phone. the alarm literally doesn't go off sometimes. At least that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
(clearing cache / storage maybe helps? also disabling the battery optimizer. but it's hard to say if these things fixed the problem or if it is just a coincidence)
on-topic: guess I really need to get to playing Future Connected soon
So many questions I need answers to, also the trailer had no right pulling on my heart strings like that, excited to play it
I haven’t even watched this up until now, and I’m about to start it. 😂 So, I’m not sure if you realize, but the sword you keep saying looks like the Monado is the Mechonis Sword, or at least looks much more like it. I actually can’t wait. That navigation feature is perfect. You can swap characters?!? That’s so awesome!!! The classes look awesome too. This looks like the best game ever.😄
How was it?
@@derpious267 it beat out my #1 game for the top spot. I’ve spent over 300 hrs in it.😅
@@MrKittyhead same at around 250 hours so far
17:33 Well, there's good news there. It was recently confirmed that 'Heroes' join you after completing special quests involving them. No gacha this time.
Yay for not being at the mercy of the Random Number Generator. :)
Seemed pretty obvious to me that they weren't gonna be gacha. Personally.
This game is gonna end on Mio's final day. Calling it now
I think they’re gonna do a thing where it turns out you don’t actually die after 10 years, they just use ether stuff or ‘magic’ to make sure you die after 10 years
And they’re gonna do a scene where mio is like “well off I go” and then just doesn’t die
@@airrider-jk9ik There was also speculation that ever single character is a clone. Which could be the reason why they have 10 years.
WRONG!!!
@@rageforprometheus as much as I wish I was right, what we got instead was insane. Life changing, even.
Omg I'm as hyped as you are Sarah loving the DLC Pic all three xenoblades ❤️❤️❤️
I still like the concept of the fact that the mechonis sword is the one that pierced the urayan titan. they are literally two covers on their respective games put together into something interesting and kind of ironic lol
My july is so stuffed. Digimon Survive comes out on my birthday and the very next day this comes out. This is such a good year for rpgs and games in general. There's so much (probably too much) to play.
Digimon Survive comes out on the same day as this.
@@westonmeyer3110 Ah, the international release you mean. The jp version is on the 28th unless they came out with a new trailer for the jp version that amends the date.
7:34 lol I also have a brother named Noah. It's definitely going to take some getting used to.
In the initial trailer, I could feel your heart getting torn to shreds as it played.
THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So excited. This a whole movie too.
A bird sitting on a tree branch is
| never afraid because the branch is moving because the bird trusts more not
on that branch, but on its wings in the same way, it is very
important for a person to believe in himself to be,
successful because achievements in life are
not based on any one suCcess it depends on you, how much you
believe in yourself and how much hard you work to
achieve its according goal well guys, if you also want to be
successful in life then first of all, learn to trust
yourself
Always look forward to your reactions to everything xenoblade
THIS GAME WILL MAKE US ALL CRY
never been this excited for a video game befoe and i am a grown ass 40 year old lol
This game is definitely going to be a genuine banger.
"Huuuuuuh an AUTUMN AREA!!" lmao that made me laugh🤣, great direct and so hyped for XC3 the battle system looks BONKERS!!
We ALL want Alexandria.
You pointed out Sena's Shrek class, but you didn't make any mention of Fiona?
Omg you’re right
@@SarahKey I've also seen comparisons between Japanese Oni and western ogres with the two sometimes translating into each other. Fiona has small oni horns.
I’m excited 😆😉 for Xenoblade Chronicles 3 News 📰 Information for the Main Story Plot for XC3 & I like Noah & Mio’s Mainline Story it’s very cool 😎 maybe it’s something related to KH Vibes and it’s been 10 Years to discover there new Journey of Aionios about Death ☠️ Ceremony each soldiers will be collect plenty of more those Antagonist and Main 6 Party Team Members Protagonist but it’s up to them to discovered & destroyed the Consuls and Mysterious Antagonist Person I know noticed that he has Infinity ♾ in his left eye I realize that I knew something was officially happening at end of the reveal trailer teaser so I known that it’s two regions Keves and Agnus have to learn and discovered for XC3 also I’m guessing that I will Main: Gray, Alexandria, Fiona & Jupiter as Heroes in XC3. Also I’m very happy 😃 that they announced the Xenoblade Chronicles™️ 3 Expansion Pass about Shulk, Pyra/Mythra & Noah they’ll have all assumption Brand-New Story Scenario to all their members back I’m guessing they’ll do that next year in 2023.
My Favorite 🤍💚 Xenoblade 3 is: Mio she’s kinda like Nia it reminds me about her it might be her Mother or maybe her Big Sis you know what I’m saying @SarahKey but yeah but it’s a cool style.
If you’ve played FF9, you’ll understand what I mean when I say I will cry like a baby with the Terms set up, just like I did with Vivi’s storyline
Gonna need lots of water while playing this game ;-;
Wotah!!
It 10 in the late night when the trailer dropped here. I literally cried to sleep.
Looking forward to this game breaking me
Is it me… or the narrator is voiced by Caitlin Glass (Elma from Xenoblade Chronicles X)?
Oml I can hear it now
Never was waiting a full month more painful than with this game.
How to make a cool area: make it an autumn area.
I got even more excited!!!
The song in the end sounds like it’s from the ending scene of xenoblade 1.
Mio is nia on steroids
Sena having the Shrek class. It's all Morbing together now
17:32 notice how in the hero selection one is blurred interesting…
People seems to avoid the clear reference to X. The armor design of the bad guys, the new weapons, the skells/robots...so much reference to X
Because no one has played X. It’s the least popular or played Xenoblade game amongst the fandom.
@@deredere-sama5995 It is my favourite one. But I can understand it is too difficult and people prefer simpler things
@@Ernestotaku it's the only one not on the switch
@@Blue-fg8vt I know. I have the collectors edition for WiiU. And even so, it is the best one graphically and mechanically.
@@deredere-sama5995 Still an excellent game.
Sarah should Cosplay Mio or Eunie 😌
Me too! Its gonna be amazing.
My switch and heart are going to break from me playing this too much
They need to have a Link outfit since they added rexs outfit to BOTW post launch
I can't wait to play this game and watch your reaction to the game if you play it
I'm so excited too!!!
thank you for posting it on youtube. not everyone join and watches twitch stream
For sure but it does save to my past broadcasts. It can be an easier watch on RUclips though!
Want to watch this cause I love Sarah's reactions, but I don't want to see the direct cause I want to go in as blind as possible. Guess I'll try to remember to come back in a month
Seeing you play this is gonna be fun😂
hmm this give me "our last crusade or the rise of a new world" vibes it is anime but some kind of similarities
Just gained a new sub, love the content ngl!
I can't waiiiiiit I just want to play now
All names are letters 😅
Told myself I'm not buying this one after never finishing the first 3 because I keep putting them down after 100 hours and starting again gain but that direct was so good they got me.
Do we wanna share jackets with our friends, or do we wanna have matching jackets!?
Such a banger direct, I literally turned into a noponis
"It looks like the Monado" *sad Mechonis noises*
