Everything good about the base game is further expanded on this with the added benefit of a party that I honestly (mostly) liked much more and Rex somehow being hot as fuck plus a DPS monster that just outclasses everyone else and dies 10 seconds into a fight cause I end up taking all the enemies attention. Holy shit he's so fucking cool in this. Dope as fuck. THAT'S MY (former) MC. Really like all the new bits with N too. I feel that while Xeno3 fumbles the bag with some of its cast (and especially Moebius) specific characters like N and Shania are some of the best in the whole trilogy. Just really good stuff there that appeals to that level of despair and sadness masters of their craft like Go Nagai and James Cameron can just suddenly bring to their works to break you heart.

Idk shit about Xenosaga cause I never got to it (I promise I will one day), but happy for everyone that got their massive callbacks to that or Xenoblade X whichever you want it to be. Earn that W kings and queens. All 7 of you in each side.

Really the only bad thing I have to say about this is that it has no proper New Game Plus mode which just makes me not give a shit about the things I missed when saving after the credits just leaves you off before the final boss. Guess it works for completionists which is cool, but I'm gonna be real when games do that it just makes me not want to keep going for some reason. I guess knowing I basically beat the boss just kills my motivation unless I have to work my way up there again. Who knows the human brain is nonsense.

Surreal as fuck to see all this Klaus shit come full circle and to an end when we almost at one point never even got these games. Also surreal as to how Xenoblade 2 chads won so hard in the end even outside of their own game. Massively excited to walk forward into the future of whats to come.
