6-7 person parties is moving dangerously close to "(super) boss battles can have MMO raid levels of complexity." That clip of combat sure as hell has enough sound clips and effects going off to be one. ...since the game takes place on Aionis and there's a planet in the background at one point in the trailer maybe that planet's Mira.

You're fighting some giant boss in XC3 and get it to half health, it starts to transform, the music fades out... ...Uncontrollable starts playing.

We probably won't get any XBX, beyond the Nopon Archsage summoning everyone for the lulz (again). But I_Want_To_Believe.jpg So, "You Will Know Our Names" and "You Will Recall Our Names". What's the third verb gonna be?

Xeno games have always loved marrying their game mechanics to story themes, but letting you literally merge party members - who themselves are "representatives" from XB1 / XB2 - is maybe the most literal it's ever been. Looks rad Reminds me how near the end of XB2 we see Klaus is split in half - again, literally - between the two worlds. I wonder prominent of a role he'll have.

TurnipFritter posted:The use of "tag team pairs" seems to suggest it's more of a Torna situation rather than Everyone Is Here. I hope this is the case; don't like the idea of having 6+ separate people I can control during a fight. Really looking forward to this. These games are probably the ultimate gaming "comfort food" for me, for some reason that I can't quite pin down. Something about the general combined look/feel (rather than anything pertaining to gameplay); there some vague aspect to the way the voices sound and the graphics look that I find more appealing than other modern 3D RPGs (like the Tales games or something). I hope the soundtrack has a good successor to the "dramatic cutscene track" from XB1 and XB2. CharlestheHammer posted:2 is the best Xenoblade tho, it’s not even close either I agree with this, even though it seems like an uncommon opinion. I like the character designs of XB1 more (and generally dislike Homura/Hikari's characters in XB2, though I liked the rest of the XB2 main party), but I found XB2 far more fun to actually play, even with its many flaws. XB1 is very...empty in comparison, and it is pretty stingy in divvying out its melodrama, while XB2 keeps things moving better. XB3 seems like it's going to hit a good balance between the character designs of XB1 and XB2. Not quite as ridiculous as XB2, but a little more "colorful" than the ones in XB1.

I really hope it ships with dial-a-difficulty similar to an end-state XBC2+DLC. It was fantastic for accessibility and to throttle things as needed if you started to overlevel.

It's probalby nothing, but I find it interesting that the 7th Party Member will keep changing throughout the game, when the 7th Party Member in the first game was such a big deal and is simply referred to in the community as 7.

Calling it now, we're getting Melia and Nia as permanent residents in that slot(s). E: after the conga line of temporary members I mean E2: I want an heart to heart where two very drunk Melia and Nia bond by commiserating over those two assholes; meanwhile the party stares in fascinated horror (think  )

I bet like 75 hours in they join, and the hud will just barely fit the 8th slot for them to be separate characters. Then in some section the party members that don't stay around will join back in so it's 7 or 8 Uroboroses vs teh final boss

From what I can tell we've hit a midpoint between the 8 Arts of XBC1 and the 3 of XBC2, we have about... 6? That's assuming that the ones on the left side are the same as the ones on the right which seem more standard.

It really needs to be a Torna situation, as the thought of relying on six AI party members to get anything done is terrifying

Both those situations bugged me for different reasons: - With Melia it was just kind of a bummer because it was extremely obvious she stood zero chance from the very beginning and she was aware of this - With Nia, she was transparently a better match for Rex - they both look and act the same age (even if they're not), while the dynamic between Rex and Pyra/Mythra feels like a 15 year old boy romancing women in their early 20s.

Sharla was definitely trying to support and encourage Melia, I don't think it was evidently hopeless from the start. As far as anybody knew it was totally plausible.

Until they popped open the hatch in Face Nemesis. Afterwards everyone could tell where the wind was blowing. Shulk turning into the Fioramon (Fiora Fiora FIORAAAAA) was not exactly subtle.

I thought it was really cute that Sharla was on Team Melia, and I wish the dynamic of them being outsiders compared to the other four Homs got played up a bit more.

I wanna say Melia was there for a while before finding out Fiora was alive and thus hopeless. She shoulda caught the "girlfriend is dead" trauma rebound when she had a chance, being sympathetic of someone's situation is for bums

I watched the trailer again on a bigger screen and the High Entia in the mask sounded exactly like Melia, I am full of so much hype. SO MUCH HYPE!!!!

I really do feel that Melia and Nia are a misdirection and will not actually be Melia and Nia because the conceit that the also-ran girls from both games are leading opposing factions of villains is too funny

Two thoughts: They are Melia and Nia, but they have whatever the Red Eye stuff is that makes them want to kill Ouroboroses, or they aren't Melia and Nia, in which case I think Mio is Nia reawakened or something, because I feel like there's got to be some connection between Mio and Nia.

With the class change system she doesn't have to be one at least. Though given how "classes" seem to draw from a given party member's default aesthetic, it might be more trading than free swapping. Though everyone's in the active party anyway so it's not like it's even possible for anyone to really have the sharla issue anyway.

The Interlink assignments bother me because with 3 roles (attacker/tank/support) and 2 characters in each role (Noah and Sena are attackers, Mio and Lanz are tanks, Eunie and Taion are supports) they could have either paired them with their role equivalents (Noah/Sena, Lanz/Mio/ Eunie/Taion) or had every pair be a unique combo (either Noah/Taion, Mio/Eunie and Lanz/Sena or Noah/Mio, Lanz/Taion and Eunie/Sena) but no they had the two supports pair up and then two attacker/tank pairs which just feels a bit off

There's unlikely to be scenarios where you want two supports out so the two supports are linked. Then you have a choice of tank/attack depending on your preferences. Maybe with class changes you can switch it up more but "You are going to have a support no matter what + pick 2: Attack/Attack, Tank/Attack Attack/Tank, Tank/Tank"
