Nintendo recently held a live dedicated to the next Xenoblade Chronicles 3. In it we get an introduction to the history and war-torn world of Aionios. There are 6 main characters, 3 each of the nations Keves and Agnus. Each looks unique from each other and looks fun to play. Here are some of the other highlights of the live.
The world of Aionios is huge and filled with many different dangers. Not only will you encounter docile and hostile creatures, but there will be groups of Keves and Agnus soldiers who will make it through. Don’t be too worried about the vast landscape, however, they seem to be rolling out some more quick travel options you explore. You will also find missions of the various inhabitants of the world.
We also take a look at the arts which are powerful fighting skills. Each has a unique effect ranging from unbalancing opponents to healing allies. You will be able to link the arts together in chain attacks and can even learn powerful master arts.
Classes can be swapped as you like between characters. Class will affect how your character fights, but switching between characters in battle seems simple, as well as changing your character’s class. This will help you build a well-rounded team. You will also be able to discover other heroes in the world who will fight alongside your team, even if you are limited to only one at a time you can freely switch between them when needed.
The ouroboros looks extremely fun to play with. This is when two characters from your party merge into one more powerful being. You can switch which character is in charge and this will change the fighting style and appearance of the ouroboros. It will be nice to see all the various shapes experimenting with different combinations.
You can also use any compatible amiibo to be useful with in-game items. For example, the Shulk amiibo will change a character’s sword to look like the Monado from the original Xenoblade Chronicles.
Xenoblade Chronicles 3 will be released on July 29 for $ 59.99 and is now available for pre-order. You can check out the full stream below.
