Xenoblade 3 without a lot of the things that made Xenoblade 3 so great. Certainly still a good experience, but don't play this expecting the same emotional or gameplay highs you get from the main story.

Oh man... if you told me they could top already peak fiction i would think you were lying. this is seriously the best finale to an arc ever, the culmination of over 10 years of Xenoblade leading up to this is fucking beautiful. Takehashi you are a mad man. GIVE ME XENOBLADE 4 NOWWWW!!!!!

The best combat out of the mainline games by far with a reworked crash/burst system, the game is really only held back by a slightly confusing story that I personally feel undermines both Xenoblade 1 and 2 with its additional context.

I binged this in one 16 hour sitting and they were not lying that future really was redeemed

Great dlc, playing it was an amazing experience that made me enjoy the gameplay XC3 crafted even more. However, as a saga closing dlc, I ended up missing some additional context to help understand things better. Despite that, I really enjoyed getting to see old characters again. The music and art direction was outstanding, as usual. Would totally recommend it.
