So my Xenoblade 3 Writeup adventure is finally complete. As big of a beast as I originally expected this thing to be, it still ended up becoming 2-3 times as huge. That said, I’m actually really happy with how it turned out, and feel that I got to say pretty much everything I had ever wanted to say about XB3. So here you have it, the full Xenoblade 3 Writeup:

As I mentioned during the latest part of the epilogue, doing this Writeup inspired me to pick up Xenoblade 3 again and replay it with the Paid DLC (it also helped that the Paper Mario: TTYD remaster was ruined by tranny propaganda, unexpectedly freeing up my gaming schedule), and I’ve been having a really great time so far, as I now near the end of Chapter 5 (Peak Fiction again beckons). I’ll definitely be doing a Bonus Post of sorts a few months from now, where I present my updated thoughts on the game, as well as my opinions on the DLC content, including the new Heroes and the new Challenges battles.
Dunno if I’ll ever do a writeup nearly as big and in-depth as this again, because Xenoblade 3 was just a Perfect Storm: it’s a gigantic game that I’m extremely passionate about, as well as being part of a larger series that I’m extremely passionate about, and while it has countless strengths (we’re talking about some EXTREME highs here), it also has plenty of weaknesses and flaws that make for some good Rant material, as well as various things that it does well, but which its predecessors did even better, and therefore gives me an excuse to talk at length about other games I love. Doing a writeup this size for Xenoblade 1 or Xenoblade 2 just wouldn’t work for me, because their flaws are fewer and not nearly as interesting to discuss. The only game that comes close is actually Xenoblade X – and if that game ever gets a Switch 2 remake, you might just see it eventually get its own Mega Writeup.
But for now at least, my future Xenoblade posts will be of much more manageable size. I do however have another big “new” project on Fedi planned, and if you remember what I was doing last year, you can probably guess what’s coming soon. That should be a lot of fun too.
