hahahahahahahahahahaha

I feel like it might show a bit of X1 and X2 teams as older characters in flashbacks but have the story focus on Melia/Nia trying to move forward after their friends are gone. Like they're struggling with the looming issues of X3 while keeping their friends' advice and memories present in their decisions. That way we see how they slowly came to become the way they are in X3.

@@sentoworf I don’t think that is it because this extra story will likely play like Xenoblade 3 but slightly tweaked like Torna and Future Connected were related to their base games. You would need 6 to 7 characters to do Xenoblade 3’s combat, and Ouroboros fusions. My theory is that Shulk and Rex’s parties were the first Ouroboros pairings. It seems pretty perfect to have a core party of 6 comprised of Shulk, Rex, Fiora, Pyra, Melia, Nia and a few heroes in the form of the rest of the party(like Reyn and Zeke and Morag and Dunban etc) in both games and some blades and prominent Xenoblade 1 side characters like Tyrea. I doubt that Monolith is going to miss a chance to throw all of the characters from 1 and 2 together in their own epic crossover game, that would sell craploads of Xenoblade 3 and the dlc alone.

...Do you not like ANY of the characters from those games??

Monolith has always done that from Xenogears to Xenosaga.

I really need to play those games :(

spent 92 hours to beat gears (I'm slow), the game is not the best, but the story is unbeatable saga I didn't had the balls to play and just watched the cutscenes, still is +20h of cutscenes not counting the text and anime

Doubtful, beating XBC2 though should be easily obtainable.

That's a pretty low bar... lol

It really looks like it at least

One of the appeal of XCX was the mech traversal, we see a boat for sea travel, hopefully there's fun ways to travel around the world, I really hope it takes queues from the world design and scope of XCX while maintaining the story everything else.

That's not true Amiibos use the kind of nfc that isn't rewriteable so if you have a shulk amiibo used for smash you can only overwrite it with shulk but at a different level or configuration I tried writing my inkling amiibo with something else and it doesn't work, only a different data of the same amiibo works

@@dirtydirtsgt4751 before say bullshits try to do things by yourself. I have a modified wolf-link amiibo i used in BotW to get the wolf-link with 20 hearts, used a smart-phone app (phones have NFC readers/writers) and another Splatoon one that i use for everything else i need for different games. Bye, kid.

@@orvoloco8261 i know, i used tagmo I don't know how you did that but the amiibos use NTAG215 which isn't rewriteable Unless your amiibo is different or you didn't get what i said, you can only rewrite the same character You can't change an inkling to shulk You can change a wolf link with one heart to 20 Jumping to conclusions and act smart by calling other people a kid makes you look like the kid instead though

The director of the Xenoblade series worked on Final Fantasy V back when he was at Square so technically it was also his own.

On top of what the other comment said this was also a feature in Xenoblade Chronicles X and has been in plenty of other RPG's. What's the big deal?

FFV has been disected apart by other games cause of its Job system and then forgotten in the trash and yeah the director of Xenoblade worked on Field Graphics on V.

@@SyLuX636 So? Nothing would exist if they didn't take inspiration from and expand upon previous forms of entertainment and media, for example Dark Souls wouldn't exist if it wasn't for the anime/manga Berserk because the SoulsBourne series takes inspiration from and makes plenty of obvious references to Berserk, and Berserk wouldn't exist if it wasn't for Devil Man inspiring a young Kentaro Miura (r.i.p) to start writing manga. Why is it a bad thing that features you loved in an old game is being brought back in new games?
