![]() ![]() It’s difficult to undersell just how likable of a protagonist Matthew’s fun and impetuous behavior makes him- he stands on his own even when the main characters of the two past titles are part of his squad. These consequences are front and center in Future Redeemed, ripe with fan service for the past games while also forming its own identity with its own protagonist, Matthew. While I’ll do my best to avoid spoilers, it’s worth noting that the main game of Xenoblade 3 largely dealt with the consequences of two worlds merging into one but largely seemed to treat this important event as an afterthought for much of the title.

It ties up many plot threads introduced in Xenoblade 2 and 3, and while it doesn’t answer all of the questions, many of the major plot elements left unresolved in the base game are wrapped up here in a beautiful denouement. The Future Redeemed DLC is effectively Xenoblade Chronicles 3’s victory lap. Unfortunately, that wasn’t to be the case- until now. ![]() Xenoblade Chronicles back in 2010 was largely self-contained, but Xenoblade 2 expanded the universe substantially and ended on a cliffhanger many expected to see completely explained in base Xenoblade 3. ![]() ![]() Xenoblade 3, which released last year, just dropped its story expansion in the last couple weeks, and it was basically everything I could have asked for.
