Yo WTF Nintendo! Why is this releasing right before TOTK! I don’t have time for both dammit!
PhilosophicalPhil
Grown up Rex saying “I like your attitude” and “I’ll show them a thing or three” is honestly the highlight for me.
Re-watching it, there’s ton to pick out from the trailer. Glimmer has Pyra/Mythra’s core crystal and Nikol has Shulk’s goggles, those are absolutely Rex’s and Shulk’s kid respectively. Consul A has Alvis’ red core crystal as her earrings. And Z calls Alvis their “god”, with it looking like Z is teamed up with Shulk and Rex in that one shot. I can not believe how crazy this looks.

Is that Rex’s daughter and Shulk’s son?
Godsafk
One day I’ll start this.

What in the ever living heck. Monolith, stop being so good at your job!! I WANTED TO PLAY ADVANCE WARS!!
About the trailer itself, well, it seems like a prequel just like Torna The Golden Country was, but this time it will connect the three games directly (Shulk and Rex are playable characters here) and hopefully answer all those lingering questions from all past games.

In the time between the releases of Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom we really got two whole new Xenoblade games and all of their DLC as well as getting a remaster of the first game on Switch with an additional epilogue and I am all for it.
Monolith da best.

“DLC won’t be here for awhile. TOTK is the focus right now.”
Based on gameplay, older Rex and Shulk are playable characters in this DLC.

Shulk looking like Luke Skywalker out here with that prosthetic arm and the Monado.
And it releases in a week?! Wow.

This is a blessing this’ll keep me busy until TOTK hopefully I can finish my 3rd run of RE4R before the DLC

April 25th? What the FUCK?

Aaaaaaaahh!! So soon!! Looks like my gaming highlight of the year starts in one week instead of a month!

This really fucked my gaming schedule for the next couple months lol that’s what I get for planning ahead I guess!

NINTENDO CLEARING THAT SECOND HALF SLATE FOR SWITCH SUCCESSOR!!! 🗣️🗣️🗣️
aegtyr
I’m WAAAAY MORE hyped for this than for the base game, this looks INSANE
Square_Dark1
Wait wasn’t this the dlc that was supposed to drop sometime in Q4 2023? It’s coming out already lol?
Yasserxyz
Is this supposed to be as big as Torna dlc for x2?

Riku sighting at 2:11.
saxxy_assassin
Shadowdrop of the century right here, lads.
Irbricksceo
I’m super confused about when this is supposed to be taking place….
QwertMuenster
Well shit, I gotta finish XC3 now.
SocranX
So of the 7+2 heroes, we have:
Nikol (Ortiz)
Glimmer (Rhodes)
Matthew (Vandham)
~~Nial? Nile?~~ Na’el (Doyle)
???? (Reid) + Shulk
???? (Cassini) + Rex
A (Seventh Founder)
So Shulk and Rex’s adopted daughters don’t seem to have been shown yet… If Glimmer is Pyra’s daughter, I’m guessing the Founder of Cassini will be Mythra’s. Which leaves Reid as the mystery. Unless A is Reid, and someone else is the Seventh…
Edit: We can also see a glimpse of two more characters in the background of the fight against N on Prison Island (2:05), one of whom shows up in the scene with the Moebius who fuses two Ferronises together (1:08). It’s a little too blurry to get a good look, though.
SuperbPiece
Bro, that party has the two main protagonists of the first two XC games, their children, a consul, and a guy named Matt.
MJBotte1
Really just dropped this one on a Tuesday night right before the biggest Nintendo release of the year
Silver_Community_610
I have whiplash. What? I came here excited over the amiibo news. This was nowhere near my radar.
Worm_Scavenger
Welp.Looks like i’m going to replay this game to prepare for the DLC and hope to god i can finish it before TOTK drops
Demoncreed27
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
PeterPansSyndrome
I swear I thought this was coming out in December!! Now I think I can officially buy Xeno 3 with that GameStop sale now that the DLC is dropping.
Nightrain_01
Looks like im not playing TOTK day one. Im currently playing XC3 and not trying to rush. Will jump right into dlc after doing everything in main game.
Malarkey99
If Nintendo is dropping this now they are hopefully making room for some additional releases this year. Looking forward to the next Direct!
Ispheria
Shulk isn’t a hero. He’s the mechanical heropon!!!
ToonTooby
I am nowhere near emotionally prepared. Fucking Monolith Soft. It’s peak.
dryadofelysium
I am beyond excited. Jesus Christ that trailer is next level good.

Fei????
thatnitai
Wow, I was sure it’ll be towards the end of the year. This is almost like a shadow drop. For me, wish they did!
The-student-
God damn. Was not ready for this and the trailer is insane!
afkalmighty
Who needs hype when you can just dropkick yourself into player’s schedules whenever
zerotheultimate5
We got Pyra’s daughter and Shulk’s son…i need to see Mythra’s child.

>!Well, now we know who could be Consul A :O!<
The1joriss
Oh right, the dlc. Got it at launch but never finished the main game. Oh well.
maxdragonxiii
shit I have only Torna and was planning on collecting all 3 games eventually… looks like I need to get xenoblade 2 and 3 soon

At this rate, when we die, our legacy will be a backlog of hundreds of unplayed/unfinished games for our descendants to carry on.
forthisisme
A few things I found through the Japanese site:
* It is a stand alone but only available through the expansion pass.
* Even if you haven’t played the main part of “Xenoblade 3”, you can start playing from “A New Future”.
* The Japanese site confirms it’s a prequel to XB3.
