Xenoblade Chronicles 3 DLC Introduces New Hero, Swimsuits, Wave 2 Out October

Definitely not crazy about her design...but yay for, swimsuits? 🙃

Nice. I got the Expansion Pass when i got the game as i trust it will be as good as XB2's.

I'll probably get this once I finish through the game.

Well as expected they will show skin for the XB3 characters….through dlc lol

Will Ino have their own "hero quest" with a back story and missions or are they just being dropped into the game?

Will the swimsuits be locked behind completion of the challenge battles?

That is one of if not the most grotesque character design I’ve ever seen

@WreckitRyan @Crockin

Is it because she has PlayStation triangles?

.. Or perhaps UK Game Case spine triangles as Jon recently made a video about.

... Wun can only hope.

Neat.

But TBH I'm more excited for very minor QoL stuff in future updates.

I definitely like the character design, though. Very unique. Though it is vaguely reminiscent of the ARMS stuff.

@wuntyme8 The triangles are fine. It's the missmatch between the normal human head and the overly thin robotic body

@BenAV i like torna but found it to be too short i wish they let us see wat happen to some of those characters and how melos came back before xenoblade 2 story.

I like how inhuman she (or rather it since machine) looks. Like a smiling weapon.

Not entirely sure the point of adding characters to an RPG that don’t tie into a story after you’ve finished it. For me the extra story will have to look exciting for me to buy the DLC.

Slightly creepy with the body being so small and that neck seems quite long.

And.. um, swimsuits?

Seriously loving the game though. Started yesterday and seems like they fixed all of my main gripes with the second one.

Except Mario Kart, the only DLCs that I buy are the bikini ones.

Niiiice.

@GhostDaddy No, but they think that they are gaming "journalists".

New characters: I sleep
Swimsuit DLC: Real *****!?

Worthless.

A worthless blade that I'll never use. And swimsuits that should be part of the base game (Like they were in 1 & X). Xenoblade 3 continues to disappoint with just how lacking it is.

I'm definitely going to grab the expansion pass once the whole thing is out, but I'm pretty much done with my first playthrough, and would rather save all this stuff to make my NG+ run more interesting. Really hope the last chunk is something on the same level as Torna, but that's a pretty big ask.

@BloodyMurder The only thing 3 has been lacking in my 70 hours has been the more fantastical environments that popped up in the first two.

@Fizza I guess it's "fan service" but it seems pretty tame. If people want to dress everyone up in bathing suits who am I to grumble about it? The more choices the better IMHO.

Makes you wonder if she's a natural blade, a possible artificial one inspired by Lila and Poppi or a separate kind of android. Surely no Machina connections since that race's Aionian representatives aren't seen to guzzle ether like beer (at least in the ~4.5 chapters I've covered to date). What is certain is that she's adorable. I harbour zero allergy to what others derisively call "fanservice" in Monolith Soft games, but the swimsuits, while nice, can't hope to be the wave's main event over Ino for me. :3 😄 And she even has her own skill tree???

@Fizza "You thought the fanservice was left behind in 2?" - nah, as someone who has also played XC1 and a fair portion of Frontierverse games besides witnessing a few nonspoilery Xenosaga cutscenes, I would have been a hypocrite to ever think that.😎😆 Others may have fooled themselves indeed. But XC3 is packed with lighthearted and frivolous stuff even without swimwear, despite the generally darker mood and atmosphere.

@BloodyMurder Calling a game that gave me 150h worth of content "lacking" surely is interesting

Not a fan of that kind of thin "robotic" design tbh, gives me the creeps.

She looks odd. Not a fan. Also swimsuits....nah lol.
Haven't bought the expansion yet, might wait and see if there's any significance to Ino. ‘Noponic Champion' makes me worried it'll just be a comic relief quest (or worse, Tora-esque...) but on the other hand, the Nopon seem much more significant in this game so who knows.

Swimsuits really doesn't fit the world of XC3....but I do love how Sena is in a full-on speedsuit. That's so Sena.

Her voice is so annoying I’ll either not use her or switch to sub.

I'd love for some sort of official confirmation/deconfirmation for a physical release of the expansion pass. Otherwise I'm stuck waiting on this content.

cool design, but man that voice.... lol

@Vortexeo Thank you kindly. 👍

I'm enjoying XC3 enough that I now think I'll dive into the DLC eventually. However, the main game has a TON of content on its own. 80+ hours in and just now in Chapter 6. XD

Sincerely. All this content should be in the basic package. It just makes physical copy more incomplete.

This is great timing. I just finished everything but the secret bosses so I'll wait bit for this to come out and 100% the game.

Oof.. her voice a bit higher than princess peaches. Poor design choice imo. Gah...pls have a mute option for her lol.
