We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.

Well, isn't convoluted lore partially why we're here? :)
No it isn't?
The patch came out yesterday and it's already linked with English patch notes at the bottom of the OP.
What they are has been in the OP since I posted it.
Thanks for the details!
Just curious, did you go on complete blackout?
This is also covered in the OP btw.
Yes but it also works differently now. You now also have NPCs who have specific requests (mini collectopedias) that you can fulfill that way for rewards.
Digital Foundry video is in the OP.
Thanks, first combat tip to add to the OP :)
They put out two games without gacha mechanics since then. There is no gacha mechanic in this game.
base stats differ between characters, thus some are obviously more suited for certain roles
Absolutely, I don't think I would've enjoyed the game as much without those and over the years I've passed thar OT and the dedicated combat guide linked there to anyone who were starting it.
In Xenoblade 2 I switched to Japanese dub among other reasons because somehow by not understanding those comments they were less grating lol.
Ah gotcha, do you know where I can see everyone's base stats? Stats change depending on the class so it's kind of a doozy

it's the usual xenoblade-length. :)
dunno, that was mentioned in the NWR review. don't have my copy yet.
What the fuck is going on with the combat in this game? Half the time I fight, every character including my own stops attacking and one character, usually Lanz ends up being ganked. The sheathe button becomes stuck and all I can do is run away. The fuck?
Edit- It only seemed to happen in one area of the game, once I left that area it stopped.

I'm wondering: is there a mechanic to adjust your level, like in Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition (and I think they added that option through an update in XC2)? Because I remember that you can rather easily end up overleveled in these games, and since level makes a major difference in hit rate and evasion rate, it ultimately trivalize the games.
You sure you're not too far away? Sometimes the ai doesnt attack if youre out of range.
Also you didnt put them on follow with ZL+down on accident?
Counting down the hours at work, but in previous games if you're sheathed, the AI used to stop attacking too. You probably need to be within a certain distance and also locked on to an enemy to unsheath?
new game+ only for leveling down
it has the bonus exp system for sidequest exp etc that previous games did though
Clear Save, not just NG+.
Which still sucks, why not have it from the start. I was overleveled so often :(
It's strange since they only needed to add more secret areas or hidden things to make exploration feel more rewarding. Everything besides this has been excellent though
Interactive Maps (WIP)
Hey everyone, We've been working away non-stop at Interactive Maps for this that contains, well, everything pretty much (they're still work in progress so bear with us). You can find the first two here:
The map currently contains the following at High resolution with multiple zoom levels.

- Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Aetia Region map (Best viewed on desktop but mobile is available too).
- Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Fornis Region map
The map currently contains the following at High resolution with multiple zoom levels.
- Landmarks and Locations (should help with uncovering the map in-game for you).
- Unique Enemies (where they are with eventual links on how to beat them)
- Quests (all quest markers should be here, from standard to hero).
- NPCs (so it's easier to track them down for Affinity building)
- Settlements (along with shops and other facilities)
- Points of Interest (everything from ether channels, skirmishes, climbable walls, etc.)
- Containers (and their rewards)
- Soldier Husks

My character is unsheathed and standing next to the enemy, usually they auto attack. Every button stops working until I run away. ZL and actions don't work, sheathing doesn't work and general attacks don't work. It's strange.
Hm, weird i think i only had a Bug like that once before the day1 update. But for you it happens regularely?
Just in the area after the town. Lvl4-6 area. I just got out of there and it seems to have stopped happening. Very weird.
Is the big red waypoint marker on screen for main missions just part of the tutorial sections, or is this there the entire game?
It's quite a bit off putting.
I also don't understand what people are finding awkward about repositioning and auto attacks. It pauses attack as you kove then immediately attacks when you stop in position. Feels quite smooth to me!

Got back from my 3 month ban just in time for Xenoblade 3. My special edition will be delivered on Monday but I still bought the digital version so I'm just starting it now. Main Theme was damn good.
Last game I was this excited for was Kingdom Hearts 3 and as much as I loved that game I couldn't help but feel disappointed in parts of the game. Considering Monolith made Xenosaga Episode 3 and that game is amazing,, I'm expecting them not to disappoint with this one.
Game looks fantastic on my 4K tv and the MClassic device.

Is anyone experiencing periodic very brief audio cutouts? It's rare but still kind of annoying when it happens, dunno if it's an issue with the game or my headset or my switch or my dock or my cable. <.<
Man I just got my pre-order from the store (it's a cheaper price if you preorder on that store) but I will only play it after I finished XC2 and Trials of Mana. It's so tempting to just start right away but I just know that it will get too much
For those in UK ShopTo are selling the season pass for £19.85 if you want to grab it under RRP. I bought it and redeemed on eShop website, so it does work.
Now just need my copy of the game to arrive, postman still hasn't been yet.

Thanks for that. Was going to wait but that's an easy buy!
My Nintendo copy from the SE finally shipped. I got it digitally too and have been playing for about 6 hours. Game's good!
Is there a way to tell which enemies aggro by sound vs sight or if they don't aggro at all? Also is there a level gap that will cause enemies that always aggro to no longer notice you? Loving the game but definitely feel like enemies here have wider ranges of perception than past games.

The music is so unbelievably good in this area. Was one of those moments where I just stopped what I did so I could hear the theme playing.
Yeah it's a great area, I reached here last night too. Anybody know roughly what % of the explorable map is revealed by this point? I'm guessing maybe 1/3 at this point?
I tried to do this and could not believe redeeming the points for icons is locked behind the online sub.
I mean, you acknowledged in the post I quoted that not everyone is going to understand it. I'd be shocked if anyone interpreted it the way you meant it without the explanation. And it seems like a stretch to me personally. It's not a pun or anything. I also don't get what it has to do with Xenoblade, it seems like it would be equally applicable to the third game in just about any series.
Not a big deal. It's your OT, you can name it what you want. Just seems like a contrast from the typical OT naming convention of a pun or simple reference that most people familiar with the game will get.
The walkable area in the game is 5x Xenoblade 2. Would this still add up?
I'd be a little disappointed if Ribbi Flats was already 25% of the entire map...
I mean so far it feels like there is more walkable area, but more that areas are stretched out compared to XC2. Where in XC2 the world design was compact, in XC3 (so far) it feels like they stretched it out to give a bigger sense of scale I'd assume.
Swung by Walmart since they open at 7am and picked up a copy. When the Nintendo one comes in next Friday (what my tracking is giving me) I'll give it to my partner. Excited to finally dive in.
