It's been a while, but the announcement of Xenoblade 3 has made me crack. I last played this when it was announced on Wii, and I loved it but it also confused and frustrated the heck out of me. I wanted to see if it's improved. Initial thoughts:
- Switched straight to Japanese voice acting. Dunban was good, Shulk was iffy, and Reyn was absolutely dire. Couldn't stomach it.
- I'd forgotten just how epic the opening act of this game was.
Absolutely puts 2 to shame.
- They throw a
lot of side-quests at you don't they.
- Adding exclamation marks to where the side-quest results are is
the best thing about this remaster and it's not even close.
- I've not hit Gaur Plains yet, but the opening areas' music is... quite mediocre. Certainly nowhere near the heights of 2, which opens with the Argentum Frigate.
