RE: Xenoblade Chronicles (Series) | XC3 Announced - ShiraNoMai - Jun 22nd, 2022
God, I should really just press forward and beat these other two games. I know they're not necessary in order to play any of these games (they're not really connected in terms of continuity) but it feels right to. I honestly can't believe how soon it's coming out. This'll definitely be a game I'll get down the line and not on launch.

Not that I expect it to be bundled with the main game eventually but you could at least maybe end up finding the main game discounted so that the overall price is lower if you plan to get the DLC. It's a shame that a lot of stuff is story based since I feel a good way to try and get through these games would be for both of us to play it but that would only work if there was a load of side stuff I could do that isn't important to see and such.

Oh there's PLENTY of side content to do. There's a whole "town" you help rebuild in the first game with a bunch of side quests to get that ball rolling. Entirely optional, but it does benefit you in the long run. If I recall correctly, there are things locked behind some of that progression as well.

My concern is how much of it is good enough that it would be a loss to miss out on witnessing it versus side content that's just quests with little overall importance as an experience.Oh there's PLENTY of side content to do.

From what I remember, it's largely fetch quests for items that you normally gather on your journey without having to grind for. Of course you can grind for it if you intend to focus on the quests, but luckily most things are acquired through normal gameplay.
I think you also recruit people for it? It's been so long. I really wanna try getting through it once I'm done with Arceus

@ShiraNoMai: Hmm. I guess I'd only care for the side quests if they give supplies worth doing them for, otherwise I think I'd find it hard to care if they don't affect the story/world at all since there wouldn't be any achievements to go after by doing them.
Also for anyone interested in seeing a bit more of the world, story, and gameplay for Xenoblade Chronicles 3, Nintendo put out this new overview trailer a couple of days ago:

Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition Comes to Switch in 2025
One of the few remaining gems left isolated to the Wii U, Xenoblade Chronicles X, is finally being ported to Nintendo Switch with visual enhancements, new story elements, and more!
Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition launches for Nintendo Switch on March 20, 2025.
RE: Xenoblade Chronicles (Series) - ShiraNoMai - Nov 1st, 2024
I can't believe they did it. This tells me that the rest of the Wii U library is on the fucking table for port discussion to Switch.
To that, I say: WOOLLY NOW!
RE: Xenoblade Chronicles (Series) - queenzelda - Nov 1st, 2024
I wondered when Xenoblade X would drop tbh. I was thinking about playing my Wii U file I have since I never beat it, looks like I'm not ever going to since I want to get the Definitive Edition when it releases close to MY BIRTHDAY! Boo yea!
