Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is so good. I'm hopelessly addicted already- had to put Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak on hold for the time being.
It makes me want a port of Xenoblade Chronicles X on Switch so badly. I loved that game to death. It had a distinct sci-fi approach that XC3 kind of reminds me of, but X was just on another level when it came to world exploration, and the skell customization and the warring factions between different alien races...
Ugh. Two games I desperately need ported on Switch- Metroid Prime and Xenoblade X. I would have said Persona 5 Royal and Portal 1/2 but, surprise surprise! That wish has now been granted!

That Distant Future chapter in Live a Live? Chefs kiss. This was like a response to every criticism I've had with other chapters addressed to make it basically the perfect vignette. Deffo the highlight of the game for me so far, by a wide margin.
My updated ranking would probably be:
1) Distant Future
2) Wild West
3) Imperial China
4) Present Day
5) Edo Japan
6) Near Future
7) Prehistory
XC3 isn't my ideal Xenoblade game, but I'm extremely happy with the improvements they've made almost across the board, from addressing the resolution issues in handheld mode to making side content more enjoyable to tackle.
With that said, I do hope they take a break from the series after this. Weren't they developing some medieval action-rpg? I wanna see that. I'd also love to see remakes of the Baten Kaitos games.

Hmm, so futuristic citys and mechs then as an idea for another trope for them to use. lol
@Ralizah I wonder if the medieval game turned out to be BotW 2. BotW was already delving into Skyrim/Witcher territory and we currently know very little about BotW 2.
@Grumblevolcano, I'd assume the same studio that made the first BotW is making the second. No reason to assume they handed it off to Monolith.
While I know Monolith assisted with the first game (and is probably doing so again with the second), it's from a different team separate from their core development teams & thus wouldn't affect their internal output.
Currently Playing:
Switch - Blade Strangers
PS4 - Kingdom Hearts III, Tetris Effect (VR)
@Grumblevolcano Doubt it. For one thing, BotW is less medieval-y than several games in this series. For another, the concept art looks totally out of place for a Zelda game. Especially considering what we've already seen of it.
Also, as mentioned, they didn't develop BotW in the first place. A portion of developers working for them assisted with it, probably like they assisted with Animal Crossing, Splatoon 2, Pikmin 3, and so on.
Does anyone have a list of the remaining Games for the year in order of release? Trying to see which games will have to be casualties at the time of release.

Sheesh. I've already missed out on Triangle Strategy, now ignoring Xenoblade of all things to focus on Fire Emblem Three Hopes. God knows what I'll do when October comes around as Persona 5 will take over my life yet again. Then I'm probably rounding the year off with Pokemon. And as for other platforms I've still still got Horizon Forbidden West on the back burner from February, and Stray's taken my interest.
At this rate I won't be playing the likes of Nier, Bayonetta or Mario + Rabbids until well into next year. At which point, who knows what there'll be to steal my attention away from these games? At the very least we could be playing the sequel to BotW before I get a chance to breathe.
@Kermit1 I was about to ask you about that since I saw you playing it in my Friends list! How far have you gotten as of now? I'm personally holding out on Xenoblade until I play the first one (both so I can see where the series began and as a way to see whether or not I like the gameplay) but seeing all of these people absolutely loving it (like yourself!) makes me very happy indeed. Hope you keep on having a great time!

I feel like Xenoblade Chronicles 3, Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak, and Splatoon 3 are forming this time-wasting black hole that's going to completely absorb my free time for the next half year or so if I'm not careful.
Dunno when I'm going to have the time to play Mario + Rabbids or Pokemon.
