D.Va Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 (edited) The way I was BEGGING for the game to let me save during chapter 6 I knew the story was going down that road, typic Takahashi writing. Can't wait to see what the end of the story has to offer and who is that hero with the massive guns Did someone here finish the game already ? Do y'all know how many more hours the story has left starting Chapter 6 ? Edited August 5, 2022 by D.Va Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruel Summer Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Eunie > Sena > Lanz > Noah = Mio > Taion Lanz only beats the next two because he’s hot, not for actual characterization Sena was the surprising one for me because before the release, I literally couldn’t remember her name These opinions are only based on C1 to C3 tho so I have like, at least 40+ hours left still probably, rough guess? So this could change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magickarp Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Just finished XC3 I don't spoil anything specific, but i do talk A LOT about my thoughts on the plot. One of the worst stories i've ever played its like a pre schooler wrote a telenovela [2] It starts out good with a lot of potential, but then just falls flat on its face. There are good themes & ideas... but they're delivered in the most 1 dimensional, forced, overdramatic way there is 0 depth, and when u think there is, the story will go "Haha remember that depth i hinted abt? I was joking!" Bad guy bad. Good guy good The fact that they're trying to be so serious about the joke of a plot makes it even worse At least XC2 had comedy so u never really took the plot seriously, just as it never took itself seriously. XC3 is like a child using big words to seem deeper than it actually is And oh lord the characters, they expect me to care for them, but how could i care for 5 pieces of stale bread, & Regina? XC2 is like 10 leagues ahead in both story & characters. I did some googling, & my opinion is in the minority tho, so hope y'all still enjoy the game MAJOR SPOILERS MAJOR, EASILY my fave moment in the whole game. REX BECOMING A CHAD my daddy **** Zeke, I knew Rex was the one When Poppy came out i got so emotional, even while i was repulsed by the story. XC2 her POWER And when that photograph came out I SCREAMED I CANNOT wait to see the XC2 stans reactions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise we need an explanation for why she's not dead last. I'm only on Ch. 5 but so far her personality is "peppy with zero depth" and it's not serving. Well I do love a good drink literally any and all the time ever, preferably a nice big Long Island! But I see Lanz as being mostly just hot and a little dark and broody (but not in a hot way) without much there, Noah and Mio as cardboard cutouts who probably have a lot more development in the back half of the game compared to everyone else, and Taion as having the most compelling personal motivations so far but ultimately being the kind of annoyingly nerdy that just slaps him down to last place. So by virtue of not being them but also not being Legend Miss Eunie, Sena wins second place for now! Plus I’ve come to like her endearingly cheerful personality and I love her design with her alternate outfit. I’ll probably end up ranking her third, unless Mio surprises me and becomes more compelling as a character, in which case fourth - but I don’t really see Lanz or Taion beating her for me in the end at this stage. But also I have like 35+ hours left minimum probably so literally who knows lmao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Va Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Sena grew on me a lot, I found her annoying/bland at first but her développement later on is really well done. As a whole, I feel like the characters' development were handled much better in XC3 than XC2. Everything felt so forced in XC2 (especially the group's tantrum in Tantal) whereas everything feels way more natural in XC3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magickarp Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Finally watched some XC3 reviews. Why do so many say this is the strongest cast It's 5 pieces of stale bread & Eunie. Reddit stanning Noah too... i hate straights. How BLAND & generic can u get. I HATE Taion's insufferable personality, but i still rank him above Noah, cuz at least he has a personality Eunie >>> Lanz > Mio > Sena > Taion > Noah I compared Sena to Sakura when i was on C3, and ... C5 spoilers i did not expect her to literally get a Sakura moment Not her having some inner emotional speech of how useless she is, and then trying to do something useful by sacrificing herself, only for her sacrifice to be completely useless how much more Sakura can u get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I basically had Mio tied for second-to-last (with Noah), but she comes around and gets much more interesting eventually I hope Noah does too, but I'm not sure I see it for him. 5 hours ago, Magickarp said: Finally watched some XC3 reviews. Why do so many say this is the strongest cast It's 5 pieces of stale bread & Eunie. I truly can't understand people preferring the XC3 cast over XC2 (so far, at least) Nia, Morag, Pyra/Mythra, and Zeke are all infinitely more interesting and complex than Noah (and I also like Rex a lot, personally, though I know he's controversial). Even the Blades are more developed! Dromarch and Brighid >>>>> Noah any day. I think Shulk, Fiora, and Sharla are all dull (and Reyn isn't hot enough to make up for his dumbness) so I get XC3 having the better cast there. But these girlies in XC3 don't hold a candle to the XC2 main cast (or the villains, or the Blades).

Cruel Summer Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 I think feelings about the cast of this game kind of boil down to whether a person preferred the original Xenoblade or the sequel. XC3 seems to very intentionally evoke the original game in ways (beyond literally mashing the two worlds together, I mean), and that extends to the cast as well in several ways (especially the three Kevesi in the main cast, being clear parallels to the friend trio of Shulk, Reyn, and Fiora). I never cared for most of the main cast of 2, preferring Torna; as such, I’m happy to have a cast that’s not really like them at all. Excited that Nia, the cast member in 2 that I felt was best-written, is maybe possibly involved here in 3! Can’t believe I’m 50 hours in and don’t even know the deal with the Queens yet tho, this game is so long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
