Hey guys,

while I have finished the main story of Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and am currently in my 2nd playthrough, I need to get this warning out there for all those of you who are new the Xenoblade-franchise. If you have friends who want to start with XB3, please show them this video!

Xenoblade 3 truly is a game that requires knowledge of Xenoblade 1 and Xenoblade 2. From the opening scene all the way to the end, there's references, some more, some less important, that new players have no chance of understanding. This is even more severe of a warning than I gave with playing Torna before XB2, because in Torna it was 2-3 key scenes that one would ruin him-/herself without first playing XB2. On the other hand XB3 is made to be played after the first two games, no two ways around it.

That is not a problem, though, because not only are the first two games still great fun to play, you can also watch cutscenes or lets plays on Youtube to catch up with the story (I strongly recommend Stefiroth's Let's Plays, super fun Youtuber: https://www.youtube.com/c/Stefieroth).

Xenoblade 3 turned out to be the hoped masterpiece, albeit it is a more difficult to swallow experience due to the heavy themes it presents. This game will be talked about for a long time, so make sure you can enjoy it to the fullest. Have fun, everyone!

Sincerely yours,
MonolithSoft_Guy


PS: If you fully enjoyed Xenoblade 3 without knowing about the others, more power to you. But I really wouldn't recommend it to others.

PS2: Sorry for the mic quality, I think I was too close to the mic with my mouth. Will try not to repeat this in the future!
