“The frozen time began to flow. At last the longest night, has gone and brought in light. I felt myself melt in the morning light”. Wait could Xenoblade 2 have been foreshadowing to Xenoblade 3 all this time? Monolith is truly a developer like no other
The combat looks SO good. Better than I ever could have imagined. I love all the character designs, especially the "hero" characters. I'm so glad they can be put into the party whenever you want!
@@rhovrox9291 Xenoblade really isn't known for its combat, not that it's bad or anything. But this looks like a huge improvement from the last three games.
The main reason I preferred 2’s gameplay was because of all the different blades and character combos you can use. I’m now looking forward to the gameplay and hope that there are more new characters hidden away
The art for the Expansion Pass has huge implications with Monado REX and Pyra's Aegis Sword and with Expansion Pass bringing new Heroes it's highly likely that Shulk and Rex or Pyra/ Mythra will be playable via the expansion
The thing i like with the full 6 team always battling, is that unlike other RPGs, it's never a question of who to leave out! It's either that you have to limit yourself because the ones you like are terrible combinations to use, or that one character you can't wait to bench...
@@anthonynguyen1289 Thanks for checking in. Yes, after suffering the entire ordeal both times, I finally got one late yesterday. I printed the confirmation and hung it on my wall like a trophy.
LoL I've almost cried on the trailer already. This is gonna be the best game ever. Xeno music are the best ever heard in thr gaming industry and the stories are always mind-blowing. My excitement level is completely out of control
As someone who has recently gotten into the series and still finishing up XC Definitive, I cannot believe how much better XC3 looks. The graphics are superior, and I love XC1. I was hoping to finish XC1 and XC2 before XC3 came out, but I did not anticipate how long and deep these stories go. Thanks for getting me into the series Roger! I can’t wait to get to XC3
Man I would LOVE if you did a top 25 favorite games of all time video. That’s something I’ve wanted from you for a long time I’m very curious what the games would be.
It’s funny you say that about XC2. I’ve seen so many UA-camrs and know people that say the exact same thing. I don’t think it’s controversial at all. Diehard fans of one just seem to be vocal. 2 is by far my fav overall as well. I enjoyed 1 but 2 is one of my all time fav games ever. Battle system was way more satisfying as well. 1 had great music and some bangers but man 2’s music is on another level. Adam’s screams in 1 are insane tho
I seriously must be missing something because I can't figure out what about two is better than one I played 2 got about halfway in about the time the woman with the fire blade joins you and then got bored I then played the remastered version of 1 and understood why people love the xenoblade series so much so to me 1 is better than 2 and you can't blame nostalgia for that because I played it after 2
XENOBLADE WARRIORS YES PLEASE. Although I would also love to see how they would handle Mario and Kirby in a Warriors type of game. Also I wasn't too hyped about Xenoblade 3, but this direct has risen my interest very high.
I hope Ethel is a hero character in xenoblade 3 which by the way is the silver haired woman in that quick snippet at 15:38 in the video. She is one of my main focuses for this game since she looks so awesome
I wonder if there's Xenoblade Chronicles 1 & 2 discounts right now? I never touched sny Xeno games yet and am very interested thanks to you and the community.
It looks amazing but I hope there are some different looking landscapes from 1 and 2 also. And why changing classes if you got 2 healers, attacker, and tanks with you all the time? Just because of the Ouroboro think probably? For me Xenoblade 2 is the best as well. All are amazing but I just love 2 the most.
I'm glad i'm gonna have Fire Emblem Warriors Three Hopes to keep me busy until this releases... I even have enough coins saved up on my Switch now, that i don't even have to pay for this OR the expansion pass!
Vandham being in this game doesn't really mean anything. Vandham is the Cid of the Xeno series he's in every game in one way or another. He was in Xenoblade X, Colonel Vangarre from Xenoblade 1 was just a mistranslated Vandham, of course there's Xenoblade 2's Vandham, and all three are based on Xenogears and Xenosaga's Vanderkam.
Goddamn every single thing in this direct is like "Now we're introducing This... *5 Seconds Later* Now here's that but MORE!" Also s**t Shulk Amiibo Prices are about to skyrocket, idk why I kept putting off buying one... Definitely preordering the Pyra/Mythra Amiibo the moment it goes up!
I've never seen that movie but, for some reason, I think I have memories of a NES game based on it? LOL Is that the game where you're running around escaping from guards while trying to collect gold?
@@RogersBase I'm not sure, but I wouldn't be surprised as that doesn't sound anything like the plot of the movie, which is typical of games from that era to have almost nothing to do with the source. You should check out Logan's Run. It's a classic, and I saw several ideas, and themes from it being used in Xenoblade 3.
To be honest it wouldn't surprise me if some of the voice lines were from late game scenes though, we just lack context. Sena was popping off, mio sounded so done being played a fool for not seeing how their lives were being treated, used, and carelessly discarded and disregarded. also the 10 year limit could also be a way for them to silence those beginning to question everything or second guess their nations' actions. By allowing and keeping soldiers young, they are easier to indotrinate, manipulate, control, and remain oblivious to the truth with a small number of exceptions. Either by choice or blind loyalty/naivette.
Meh. people around the world are struggling from the heat of a sunny day with no proper roof on their heads, with low paying jobs, and then this guy, etika, who has a lot of followers and money, sitting on his air conditioned room, decided to end it all. i know its not all about money, but he is still a privileged guy. millions of people wants that life. i loved him and his videos, but im very disappointed in him.
I'm replaying 1, and still find it to be better than 2. I put 300+ hours into 2 and loved every second of it. I feel like this game will have the customization of 2, world of X, and story of 1. It will top them all.
Based on the trailer scenes and the dialogue, the living beings are "grown" in pods until they look about 9-10 years old. Once they are released from their pods, that is when their 10 year life cycle starts.
I personally don't like Xenoblade 2 as much as the other two, but the series is amazing, and 3 looks like Xenoblade 2, but fixing a lot of the issues I had with it. (Torna is also the best in the series)
Xenoblade 2 had a great story but for me what ruined it is the waifu booba gacha and all the boring fetch quest with dumb Item RNG The character design,story,visuals,gameplay,scope of the world we see in 3 soo far seems to surpass all aspects of 2. As someone who was mixed on 2 this direct for 3 is really reassuring A lot of people didn’t like 2 soo it’s reasonable to say it most definitely wasn’t perfect
I've never understood what makes Xenoblade as a game franchise so revered by many. I mean, don't get me wrong, its one of the most JRPG centric franchises that Nintendo has to offer, and I'm happy for the fans, I just can't get into the series.
Ok, at the rate these comments are going, I should've phrased that differently lol. What I mean is that as much as I would like to try out the game, the best I can do is watch it from the sidelines. Like I said, I could tell a long time ago that Xenoblade was/is an awesome JRPG franchise. It's just that I didn't grow up playing with the series to understand why it's so revered. The best that I know about it is that it's developed by MonolithSoft, the same top-tier developers that co-developed The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, which speaks astronomical volumes of their talent. Anyway, I hope that it winds up being a highly successful franchise for Nintendo, because it seems to be a love story to JRPGS.
This direct was literally perfect, the hype is unreal for me I can’t wait for this to release!
Exactly what I wanted!
“The frozen time began to flow. At last the longest night, has gone and brought in light. I felt myself melt in the morning light”. Wait could Xenoblade 2 have been foreshadowing to Xenoblade 3 all this time? Monolith is truly a developer like no other
Takahasi is one hell of a writer
Which part was this line from again?
When was this said?
@@acetalos-4242 In the final song for Xenoblade 2!
I think the torna ending song is titled "white all around us". Also the way bosses/unique monsters die is similar.
08:05 Those shots have a pure Xenogears/Xenosaga vibe, and I'm here for it!
The combat looks SO good. Better than I ever could have imagined. I love all the character designs, especially the "hero" characters. I'm so glad they can be put into the party whenever you want!
Its good, for a fan i guess. The combat seems messy for someone like me who wants to try the franchise.
@@rhovrox9291 Xenoblade really isn't known for its combat, not that it's bad or anything. But this looks like a huge improvement from the last three games.
14:22 Eunie interrupting your whole flow LOOOOOOOOOOL
25:34 that reaction to Alexandria too LMAO you just get it man

The gameplay in this one is so crisp!!
I watched the direct after I played the game and I'm so glad I did.
Hopefully Shulk and Rex along with their crew members are mentioned as legendary figures and aren’t forgotten by Nia and Mel.
I'm SURE they'll show up at some point as bonus hero characters!
The art for the Expansion Pass has huge implications with Monado REX and Pyra's Aegis Sword and with Expansion Pass bringing new Heroes it's highly likely that Shulk and Rex or Pyra/ Mythra will be playable via the expansion
Sorry but Rex died of diarrhea
Fuck Rex but Shulk sure
Shulk and Rex are going to be in the extra story.
The thing i like with the full 6 team always battling, is that unlike other RPGs, it's never a question of who to leave out! It's either that you have to limit yourself because the ones you like are terrible combinations to use, or that one character you can't wait to bench...
The music and the tone…it WILL be the best Xenoblade. I’m going to feel like doo-doo if I don’t get a special edition to commemorate this one.
Did you get one? I know the horrible release was difficult on many
@@anthonynguyen1289 Thanks for checking in. Yes, after suffering the entire ordeal both times, I finally got one late yesterday. I printed the confirmation and hung it on my wall like a trophy.
My favorite thing is that the Expansion Pass really isn’t that intrusive, with the big stuff coming at the end of 2023
Here's hoping it doesn't come out the same day as BotW2, haha
@@RogersBase same man same 😂
So hyped for this game! Can’t wait! Each trailer makes it better and better
This is going to be another one of my favorite playthroughs of yours! I’m excited!
I have no doubt it'll end up being one of my favorites too!
I'm not even that into Xenoblade, but I will always appreciate theme song trailers like the one at the start.
The best direct all biased aside!
Overview trailer ✅
Explaining the battle system ✅
DLC confirmation ✅
Sena calling Mio mimi ✅ ✅
This game is Game of the Year contender
Couldn’t make it to the stream but this was still amazing. The music, Roger is 😚👌. Can’t wait to pix this game up.
Did NOT expect that deep of a voice in the Nopon Riku

The battle theme that played during the battle section is probably the second battle theme, since we have Keves Battle, that might be Agnus Battle.
Chuggaconroy’s got his work cut out for him

@@mrcat4508 Totally agree, I felt 2 was a downgrade from elements of 1 even down to the tone. This one seems more in the same vein of 1
What's funny is at 26:06 they forgot to blur out Pyra during the euro live direct. Like how they gonna mess up after the Melia mistake
Don't spoil it for Roger😂
I just assumed they assumed who it was like everyone else and their grandma, not that it was actually her and they "accidently" revealed it too early.
Dude what the fuck
Sorry I missed your Xenoblade livestream. I finished watching it and I can’t be more excited for this game!!
I have never played a xenoblade game before but I definitely wanna play this one
Man this looks so fucking good I'm so excited, i just hope it's as good as it looks, the dub sounds great too.
Bruh, I work for the company and even I'm still fangirling. Going to be so epic!
You work for monolith soft?
This is straight up the third time I've watched this Direct, had to watch ya boy Roger's reaction though!
Loved the direct and your reaction can’t wait for us to all play this amazing game
Thank you!
This direct definitely fully convinced me on buying this game. I was cautiously interested before, but the combat system looks like a lot of fun.
A “xenoblade warriors” would be hilarious 😭😂
XENOBLADE WARRIORS YES PLEASE. Although I would also love to see how they would handle Mario and Kirby in a Warriors type of game. Also I wasn't too hyped about Xenoblade 3, but this direct has risen my interest very high.
Xenoblade warriors and hopefully a Pokemon warriors
The music is perfect as always as usual
I HAD FINALS DURING THIS I HAD TO SNEAK IN THE BATHROOM TO WATCH IT 😭
I hope Ethel is a hero character in xenoblade 3 which by the way is the silver haired woman in that quick snippet at 15:38 in the video. She is one of my main focuses for this game since she looks so awesome
She seriously looks awesome!!!
She looks like a female Jin to me.
Hopefully she doesnt die near the end of the game.
youre right the artstyle and shading techniques are similar to skyward sword. this type of artstyle holds up better in the long run
I wonder if there's Xenoblade Chronicles 1 & 2 discounts right now?
I never touched sny Xeno games yet and am very interested thanks to you and the community.
This games’s got some huge shoes the fill after xc2, hopefully it doesn’t fall short like XCX
GOTY!!!
10:17 AW MAN GURREN LAGANN
I’m so hype for this game 😫😫
The replay value on this is going to be as crazy as XC2....this looks so so so GOOD
Sena is the daughter or ancestor of Brighid. Her hair is literally blue flames. Anybody else notice that?
Why does that one Nopon gotta have a deep voice lol
Nice reaction video, was fun to re-watch it with you ^^
We are all going to cry over this game!
The fact you were screaming everytime they said "10 year life span" so you couldn't hear it is honestly impressive timing lmao
It looks amazing but I hope there are some different looking landscapes from 1 and 2 also. And why changing classes if you got 2 healers, attacker, and tanks with you all the time?

btw this come to switch and exclusive so idk why persona 5 & soul hacker is not on switch 😂 w3ll im excited this going to be my favorite games again!

I wonder if the blurred hero is vandamn
How do you think about the game so far Roger? You do play it off stream right, but i hope you do the main story on stream..
