Topic: Xenoblade Chronicles 3

@NintendoByNature I think at the 12-hour mark I was also on chapter 2. I spent a lot of time taking in everything 😅

@Vortexeo How many chapters are in the game? No spoilers pls.

@NintendoByNature

Probably. I'm doing a lot of intentional slow-walking and avoiding fast travel to soak in the views and roleplay as an adventurer. I slow walk a lot in games. For the drama.

@TowaHerschel7 I heard there was 7 total

@Mioaionios gotcha. I've been taking it fairly slow much Like @Vortexeo has. I just can't bring myself to go right to the point of interest. Instead I go the opposite way until I cant explore any further then I make my way to the actual destination.

How long is chapter 7?
I'm almost done with 6 and only at 45 hours. Doing Hero Missions only though. Plus some exploration.

I just beat the game

So can you play more of the game after beating it or is it like luigi's mansion where you do all you can before the game ends.

@Kermit1 I'm pretty sure you can still play the game after beating it. I know in the first Xenoblade game they had new bosses appear after you finished the main story so I wouldn't be surprised if something similar happens.

@Kermit1 @Vortexeo as new game plus i believe.

@Vortexeo @Balta666 I guess @TommyTendo will have to tell us in due time.

@Kermit1 i haven't checked yet, but you can definitely play more on your old save. Not sure if New Game+ is in the game yet

@Kermit1
Xenoblade post-game is always huge. You can finish all the side quests you didn't yet complete, new objectives are added like super bosses and then there's NG+.

I refuse to spoil anything, but I can confirm this game is not Luigi's Mansion.

@Budda Sounds WAY shorter than 1, 2, and X...

@TowaHerschel7 It's definitely longer than 1.
I beat 1 in about 30 hours, and I beat 3 in about 49 hours.

@TommyTendo you're definitely very quick on those... It took me about 55h in the first playthrough of xc1 and even HLTB have it at 50h just focusing on the main story

@TommyTendo What the FRONK?! It takes me around 50-60 hours to beat 1 and 100+ hours to 100% it. Are you talking about the remake on Switch? I hear that one is WAY easier to power through than the OG XC1.

@TowaHerschel7 Yeah it took me 50 hours to even boost through Xenoblade 1 and Future Connected.

I'm 87 hours into the game, my party is at level 76 and I'm at the final door before the last boss.
Done plenty of side quests but got many more waiting for me and now I can't decide what to do first.
Go through the door, or finish all side quests first?

Ugh... decisions, decisions. lol
