Let’s talk battle system. XC3’s is similar much yet simpler than XC2’s and is explained much better. While this game can get overboard on the tutorial side, such as showing how equip gear, it helps immensely with learning the battle system. The devs learned from XC2’s mistakes and fixed them in this game. Now between XC1, 2, & 3, this has been my favorite system. I love that you have the entire main party of characters on the field at once. You can switch during fights. Each character functions a bit differently depending on faction and then class. Stemming from class, this is also the main caveat of this battle system.
For the class system you have three: fighter, healer, and defender. I’d say the names explain themselves. While some characters are certain classes by default, the game let’s you equip whatever class on any character so long as it’s unlocked for them. So you really get a lot of options with how to set your party up. Plus you also get an option at some point for a “hero” letting you add a 7th party member. While the only downside is you can’t control that hero, it gives you sort of a wildcard option on how to build your party. Then there’s the ouroborous system or however it’s spelt where you can unleash a monster of sorts into the battle, but don’t want to give too much away on that as it’s key to the story. So yeah that’s the battle system in a nutshell. I love it. It’s a fun system that I feel offers the player a lot of options with the class system.
Now for story, I haven’t beaten it, but I’m digging it. The game is set in a world where there are two warring factions and certain characters from both sides find themselves coming together to go on an adventure to end that cycle. It’s very much an anti-war game and maybe one of the best I’ve played regarding that subject matter.
Stemming from the story, there’s the new party of characters. Noah, Mio, Eunie, Taion, Lanz, & Sena plus two nopon who are guests of the party. The party system is a major aspect of these games and I find XC3’s to be my favorite bunch so far. The characters seem more realistic and down to earth. While I liked XC2’s party, the characters could get a bit over the top. This game doesn’t have that, they even toned down the nopon in this regard as well. Riku and Manana have been my favorite Nopon main characters of the three games. So yeah I love this party.
Lastly I want to talk about the world. This is a big game with a lot to explore and it all feels very seamless too. Plus there’s plenty of diverse locales. Now what I love most about this game’s world and what makes going through this game intriguing is there is a lot of stuff from prior games. While each game is it’s own thing, anyone who has played both the last two games would know they connect in some way and while I don’t know how XC3 fits in, there’s a lot of things I’ve recognized from previous games. While I don’t think you need to play XC1 and 2 to play XC3, I think it may actually be worth it. Plus the prior two games are great in their own right.
XC3 is an epic JRPG and one of the best games of this year. Yes this year. While it may not get the same hype as games like Forbidden West, Elden Ring, and the upcoming God of War, this one holds its own and will likely be the best game released on the Switch this year. So if you have a Switch and are into JRPGs, highly recommend. Amazing game.
The story and the characters are top notch. Extremely well-written and memorable - I won't be forgetting it or them anytime soon. Their designs and voice actors are also stellar, with better production quality than the previous games. And speaking of production, the music and soundtrack in this game is incredible.
Gameplay has been improved upon versus its predecessors with some great QOL improvements. They streamlined the fetch quests, improved upon the normal quests, included a trail marker to quest locations, etc. Characters have quests that flesh out their own individual stories in a great way, and the main story quests are hard to put down, so to speak.
Combat is similar, but improved upon. For those unaware it's a real-time game with cool-down abilities. You manually move your character around the enemies, but basic attacks happen automatically when you're in range. This leaves you to focus more on positioning, comboing abilities, activating game-pausing special attacks, etc. There's a lot of depth and complexity to this game so it's not a case of just watching your character attack - you must be involved every step of the way, for the most part.
For fans of the series, I'd personally say the game is mechanically better than the previous games. The story and characters are tied with the second game in my opinion, while both are better than the first. Music might be the best overall of the three. Graphics are the best, but unfortunately hampered by the aging Nintendo Switch at this point. You're better served playing it docked, but it's acceptable in handheld mode. I played it about 50/50 each way myself. Also, there's apparently a "memory leak" issue where the game's graphics and quality will degrade overtime if you don't close out the game every so often, so I suggest you to close and reopen the game at least once a day or something.
So all in all, I recommend this game 100% to anyone and everyone. It might not be to your style or taste, but it's absolutely worth a try before writing it off. It's my game of the year, for sure.
It still holds some of the cheesy dialogue that the series has become infamous more, and it’s not uncommon for characters to start talking in circles in longer interactions. But this is a minor issue since the story at large is very compelling and has a lot of very interesting themes.
I highly recommend this game to everyone, not just RPG fans. To get the most out of the story, though, I would advise you to play Xenoblade 1 Definitive Edition and Xenoblade 2 first. There are a lot of great story beats in this game that won’t be as impactful if you haven’t played the first 2.
