Xenoblade Chronicles 3 (NSW) - July 29, 2022

Dang. It's all good, though. I'm playing through some stuff at the moment and Elden Ring is almost out, so I'll just keep an eye out for a sale leading up to XC3.

Watched the trailer again... I think the protags of the first two games fucked up. The world looks very... different.

[Tyrath]

Depends. If you plan on playing on Bringer of Chaos or doing superbosses, and also don't mind the main story being extremely easy (even with lowering your level all the way down), then do NG+ as it unlocks a few more Blades.

If you care about difficulty at all, then a NG file. My NG+ file is my 100% save, but my other files are all started from scratch.

Gonna do regular NG then, thanks!

Hmm I'm EU and the whole sale is called February Fest and I assumed it was worldwide

Yup, looks like it is EU only for now. Solid titles too, Xcom 2 for 4, Mario Kart/Luigi's Mansion/Link's Awakening for 35.

Ace Attorney is also discounted and I may actually think of buying it. Witcher, Quake, KOTOR...its even better than the holidays sale.

Dang. It's all good, though. I'm playing through some stuff at the moment and Elden Ring is almost out, so I'll just keep an eye out for a sale leading up to XC3.

Usually a US version follows the EU discount fests so stay tuned.

Release date moved up to July 29, 2022... Nintendo doing Live-A-Live dirty...

[Gokulo]

Oh wow. Need to hurry up with 2 more, that game is taking me forever to play through >.>

[Mayareira]

Wow, now that’s good news.

Cant wait!

[Tyrath]

Wow you don't see that often.

Great for me though because I'm traveling half the month of Sept

One of the combo forms reminds me of the Zebulun.

This company is just crazy with announce -> release timing. I wish SE could be like this.

[Mayareira]

Monolith is known with its good work environment. I believe they implemented no overtime as a company policy and when they have to, they are getting paid for it. They also tend to keep their team small and grow in a controlled manner.

They seem to have a winning formula for productivity. I never understood the crunch culture anyways, you aren't getting anything productive from a sleep deprived brain trying to stay up with caffeine. Humans have performance limitations like everything else and said limitations aren't really a secret.

I was getting Weltall vibes with the MC's combo form.

It's almost like these are biological Omnigear type deals.

Also very intrigued about the baddies being able to "see" aberrations with this red eye of theirs, and for some reason don't include Nopon.

[Tyrath]

The main guy is very obviously EVA inspired too lol

[Demosthenes]

I'm really fucking happy about this, bit it's also the worst time for me. A month earlier or a later would've been perfect. Ain't mad though.

[IceSylph]

Not going to lie, was actually hoping for September, lol. Need to push forward my Xenosaga 1-3 playthrough, and replay Xenoblade 1+2 sooner now.

Was definitely getting some black palette-swap Crescens/Esmeralda vibes by one of the female gears too.

Shit looks incredible. Going to have to redo my playthrough of 1+2 much sooner rather than later.
