Wow they added a list you can keep track of now for all unique map related things, besides the item collection list and bestiary. Where was this QOL stuff in the main game

I just want to say the Affinity system giving you information about what item collectables can be picked up, the enemies that can be fought, and the items those enemies drop is nice to see.

"Outta my face!" is going to be the next big Xenoblade meme, I reckon.

Lots of mechanics and tutorials to start. Makes me wonder how long this is supposed to be.

Anyone else stay on the title screen for like 10 minutes just listening to the music? Having a great time so far. Like how the collectopedia is back too.

So.... interesting things about the credits....

Kojima doesn't seem to have been involved with the DLC at all. While XB2 and Torna shared mostly the same staff for development, it seems this was more likely done in parallel with XB3 with it's own set of main staff other than Takahashi.

Cutscene Directors:
Norihiro Takami (Monolithsoft's Veteran Event/CG Director replacing Mamoru Ota)
Hiroshi Shirai (Graphinica's Cutscene Director for XB series)

Directors:
Masahiro Iwamoto (Monolithsoft Director replacing Koh Kojima)
Yuki Sakamoto (XB3 Co-Producer, possible ex-Atlus staff)


Producers:
Koji Hayashi (Monolithsoft Producer replacing Koh Kojima)
Genki Yokota (Nintendo's Director and Producer for XB series)

The bolded staff are ones changed staff on those roles from XB2/Torna/XB3.

I feel like I saw Koh Kojima mentioning in an interview that he wasn't on the DLC—next game?

This would be utterly nonsensical if you didn't play 3 before lmao, not a critique I just noticed how many xeno terms they use in such quick succession with no explanation

GOD, I love that this DLC is made for the hardcore fans, the collectionists, and now you can track absolutely anything you haven't seen yet.

[Game starts already on Aionios and you don't play as Shulk or Rex]

Aww man

Loving every minute so far! As others have said Matthew and A, their back and forth, is just awesome. And yeah, can't imagine playing this without doing 3 proper first. Had to put it down to get some sleep, but I can't wait to dig again tomorrow.

Very adorable.

Matthew founded the school of conflict resolution that Eunie would later graduate at the top of her class from.

Matthew and A's dynamic is going to carry this entire story to new heights, I can already tell. I love them both.
