Xenoblade 2 spoilers
From the ending of 2 I always assumed all of the people were transported to the world of Xeno 1 so my guess is this happens like many years after that

I mean they straight up said that at the end of the trailer.

But also Nia's not going to age much anyway since she's a Flesh Eater

Glad that the Melia/Nia expy is looking like the main love interest, happy for you girl and I don't even know you
and regular Nia looks to be one of the villains

this is almost certainly her wearing a mask - there were a couple other flesh eaters in the trailer but the outfit looks very similar & the core crystal shape is the same


anyways im VERY EXCITED because XB2 is one of my favorite RPGs of all time

Is that Nia or just someone who looks like her? The Direct also mentioned the worlds of both games so curious to see where this goes

God yes. I don’t even hate the battle system, just

1. Axe the gacha system
2. Don’t gently caress with my party composition every fifteen minutes
3. Don’t reduce the second or so half of the game to soulless corridors teeming with enemies

Also maybe don’t have a romance between an 800-year-old woman and a teenager?

lol no

2 launched with serious problems due to many of the developers being taken away to work on BOTW. Even with the patching, the awful gacha system still exists and that is irredeemably bad. Torna fixed a ton of the problems with the base game which gives me hope for the sequel. And considering the excellent qol updates in XC:DE, I think they have a chance to make something really incredible.

I mean, to be fair, you already know why 2 had issues, you lay it out there. So there's no reason to expect 3 to not be great.

... except for BotW2 coming out. Within like a few months of Xenoblade 3's release, probably.

So it's entirely possible the exact same thing will happen again.

But probably not!

They they really should do is give you hotswapping RTwP like Mass Effect or FFVII Remake, for all the complexion party combo sstuff they like to design that really would be the way to go

I am only now realizing I zoned out completely at the end of 2 and barely remember the plot, uh oh.

Side note, do we think Torna will have any relevance in 3 and is worth playing?

I think XB2 is good despite its flaws but XB1 is still just simply a better game. Also XB2 runs like garbage on my Switch which I definitely noticed after I tried to play it after XB1DE.

On the contrary, don't Flesh Eater Blades age normally?

They definitely lose immortality.

In the trailer, Nia looks a bit older to me but maybe it's just confirmation bias

Jin should probably be dead if they do

Seems likely we'll see a few Blades reappear at least. I wonder if Melia will be around? Good odds everyone else is dead :(

The other masked figure has Melia's hair style so there's a decent chance that's her. She would also live longer because of being half High Entia

edit: spoiling even though it's mostly speculation
