Live a Live is actually pretty short.. about 20 hours and I was already almost done with triangle. I just keep pausing it when something else comes out.

What's the rush? Xenoblade Chronicles 3 isn't some online game with time limited events. If you're enjoying another game, it's weird to cut that short for something new you think you might like.

I LOVED Xenoblade 2 to death but I'm not gonna deny its issues, mostly because their team was cut in half when they were helping development with BOTW, while being same year as Switch launch, the XCX engine wasn't exactly well optimized at that point so the game was rough at times but despite all of this XC2 tuned really great which makes me respect Monolith Soft even more.
With XC3 they have full team behind them and properly optimized the engine to run on Switch and their experienced with pervious games, Its not surprised to see the game being well received.

Yeah, so many great ideas but poor execution.

A lot of shaky parts but ended very strong over all, making for an amazing package despite its flaws. Especially if you factor in all the added content.

This is why I have mad respect for Monolith Soft, they are currently one of my favourite JRPG developers.

Is this game supposed to be really that good? I feel like holding off for player word of mouth. I remember the hype when Tales of Arise came out, that it was supposed to be one of the best Tales games and revitalized the series. Then after a few months the common consensus was that it starts off great, but then nosedives in the 2nd half, which I concur with.

Can't say anything about the whole game since I still can't play it, but currently seems promising. The story is still kept underwrap, but after what I saw in 1 and 2, I'll most likely enjoy it, especially it's the culmination of the trilogy. Gameplay looks like an improvement from the previous games, still similar but with new many things. Music is top notch as always.

For me it all comes down to me personally enjoyed all pervious Xenoblade game and have full trust in Monolith Soft same way I do with Vanillaware.

I hope one of these one of games sells around 5 to 10 million. I hope they become more and more successful in the future where they can develop at least 2 to 3 games in the pipeline

There is an interesting parallel here because I also noticed that narrative around Arise. A kind of "with this, the Tales series has finally arrived for a bigger audience" vibe or something like that. I've tried to get into tales a few times and didn't like it, and then I noticed the kind of positive buzz leading up to Arise that made me reconsider it too. Ultimately I decided not to bite and that positive energy evaporated, just as you noticed.
And now there is a kind of similar feeling in the air that maybe with this game a larger audience actually finally plays and gets into Xenoblade. Some people are predicting a noticeable increase in sales, like maybe Xenoblade has arrived.
Aside from that feeling leading up to their launch, I don't think the games are similar. They're both jrpgs, but other than that they are not related. Developer, publisher and design philosophy are not similar.
And I haven't really seen the Xenoblade games be anything but awesome. They have faults, sure... like maybe a brilliant and deep battle system is hard to understand and not explained thoroughly, and that will cause some people to be dismissive of a title, but it's only a barrier to getting into an excellent game, every single Xenoblade has been really amazing when you invest the time.
Monoliftsoft doesn't mess about. And now they've got a lot of handicaps they had to work around in the past removed. Not having their staff divided working on other titles, not being stuck learning new hardware, not being rushed but in fact finishing ahead of schedule and pulling the game's release forward...I've never felt more confident in a preorder, honestly.

I'm a sucker for JRPGs and the high metascore is making me interested, but while I liked XC1, I loathed 2's combat system so much that I never finished the game. Wonder if I will enjoy XC3 given that I disliked XC2?
So crazy, combat was my fav part, so much so that i went after all the super bosses after the credits rolled

Guys is there a way to filter out youtube videos? There are imbeciles spoiling important plot stuff on YouTube thumbnail and titles... I cannot just "stop using" it because there are other stuff I want to watch, channels I'm subscribed to, etc... Is there a way to make some type of content (by tags, keyword, whatever) not appear on my feed?

Try clicking on “not interested” and “don’t recommend channel” on videos that seem spoilery.

tbh future connected is my least favourite xenoblade anything. They say it ties into XC3, but it felt like filler to me where not much happened and the best characters like Dunban and combat mechanics like chain attack were removed from the game. Great music tho. Still if I had to skip one xenoblade thing for some reason, it would be FC
I love both battle systems so it's hard for me to say but...
I think you need to watch the video reviews. They usually say it's the best combat ever and tutorials are greatly improved blah blah etc, but I think watching the combat footage in the vids might help you get an idea of whether u would like it
Isn't that...Macgruber?
I got spoiled on some major things by thumbnails too. People are so dumb

Gotta do the same... I'm trying to code something similar but that also hides select content by "keywords" on the title.., Hope I don't forget to finish it later lol Problem is that I use YouTube mostly from my Switch on the TV... I'm definitely fucked by imbeciles that should have access to internet
