Coming to Nintendo Switch on July 29, 2022
Thoughts
For a 24-minute presentation, we got a lot of information. To say that I was hyped going in would be an understatement, though I try to keep my expectations in check. I love the Xenoblade series and XC2 was amazing, in my opinion. There was a lot to like about the presentation. The visuals look great and have that Monolith Soft open world look to them. If you have played Xenoblade Chronicles, Xenoblade Chronicles X, and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 you will notice some things that look familiar. I don't know if they are easter eggs or what but there were a lot of little things that I did notice throughout the presentation that had me feeling pretty good and happy that I preordered the game. Also, the gem system from Xenoblade Chronicles and the camp rest system from Torna the Golden Country is back. I do love a good chain attack and I like the way they look in this game. From being able to change classes, the addition of a 7th team member, and the Ouroboros system; there was so much information that was dropped that you need to watch the presentation to fully understand. For people who have played the entirety of the series so far, I think the story of this game will probably be the most emotional. I thought the ending to Torna The Golden Country was especially emotional I have a feeling this game may just outdo that one based on what we learned in the direct.
The game is close to release and a part of the presentation talked about amiibo support. Apparently, any amiibo can be used to get in-game items but the Shulk amiibo will give the Sword class character the Monado from the first Xenoblade Chronicles game. There is also DLC that you can pre-order as well and will be available for $29.99. It will function just like the DLC for Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (which I thought was excellent).
