I've managed to finish all the sidequests in Xenoblade Chronicles 3! Last night I also managed to fill out every map completely. Now I need to max out every class for each character, kill every unique monster (I'm nearly done with this!), And master all arts for the soulhacker class. Once I'm done with those I think my 100% playthrough will be complete!
Alongside of this I might play a bit of Splatoon 3 as well. I'm still getting a good amount of connection errors so I only ever play a few matches at a time before giving up because of getting disconnected ๐ . It's strange because I never had this problem with Splatoon 2.
@Ralizah Man that is insane...The fact that it takes a whole game to get the plot going is a really tall order...do you think it would be better to just watch an explanation video or story recap for the first trails in the sky game? I don't normally watch story recaps but in this case, I might make an exception lol.
@Ralizah Is trails in the sky actually that slow? I keep wanting to give the series a go but I've always heard that trails in the sky takes a long time to get off the ground. I'm not a stranger to games with a slow start but I think hearing this beforehand has caused me to put it off ๐ .
@KilloWertz Yeah that's understandable! I didn't jump into future connected immediately either. It was a good point to take a break! I just wanted to make sure you were aware
@KilloWertz For what it's worth Future Connected is REALLY short compared to the base game. I did everything possible in future connected and it only took me 15 hours.
I think I'm getting really close to finishing all the side quests in Xenoblade Chronicles 3 so I'll be doing more of that! I also recently bought Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1+2 so I might play that as well. I've got to say I love just free skating around the park lol. Idk what it is but it's just super therapeutic (until you fall that is lmao)
More side quests in Xenoblade Chronicles 3 for me! I also played a few matches of Splatoon 3 last night and had a blast! I'll probably play more of that today as well.
You know admittedly I never really played the mainline Pokemon games for their narrative ๐ . Some of the spin off games have some pretty great stories though
I finished up the main story from Xenoblade Chronicles 3 not too long ago. So now I've been going back and finishing up all the side quests! I'm currently 91 hours into the game now and I've enjoyed every second of it so far!
My favorite pokemon is Slaking. I know that might make me seem lazy but I really love doing massive damage with him! Here's to hoping I'll see him again in a future pokemon game
I'm currently playing Xenoblade Chronicles 3. I'm 38 hours in and I can't get enough of this game! Looking forward to making more progress this weekend!
Absolutely loving Xenoblade Chronicles 3. I really love the combat system in this one! I just finished chapter 1 last night and I can't wait to see where it goes from here!
@ChromaticDracula I think it's best to start Torna after the main game honestly. It's funny though because I really think Torna is better than the main game ๐
@ChromaticDracula For what it's worth auto attacks eventually stop being at the forefront during combat. Idk if you ever played XC2 but for example, Mythra has this skill on her affinity chart where every time she lands a critical hit your arts automatically recharge. I was able to get her critical hit rate up to 60% (It could go higher) which meant I wasn't using auto attacks nearly as much
I ended up starting No More Heroes 3 a few days ago and it's really fun! It feels great to be back with Travis again. I'm currently rank 4 so I might finish up the game this weekend. It's a bit strange because I remember I didn't really like working the jobs in between boss fights back in the first game. But for some reason I've been enjoying it a lot more here!
Last night I finally beat all of the routes in Fire Emblem: Three Houses after 5 playthroughs. Crimson Flower really felt a lot shorter than I was expecting but I still enjoyed it. I really wish the support conversations between characters didn't reset each playthrough because part of me wanted to get them all ๐ .
I still have a few weeks until Xenoblade 3 comes out and I'm not sure what exactly I should play ๐ . I'm thinking about getting back into CrossCode. I'm a little reluctant to do so because that first dungeon was so lengthy. So it's either that or I could start No More Heroes 3.
Oh my God, I played this game on PC and I loved it. I got the true ending but I never completed it to 100% completion even though I kinda wanted to. Maybe I'll pick this up again if it's a good price!
But for me I'm continuing to do my 5th playthrough of Fire Emblem: Three Houses. I finally made it to the Crimson Flower Route (I didn't miss speaking to edelgard this time woo!) and I'm currently on chapter 13. I heard this route is a shorter one so I should be done before Xenoblade 3 releases.
I also did buy No More Heroes 3 since it went on sale. However I haven't started it yet and I haven't decided when I want too. If there's enough time after I finish Three Houses again then maybe I'll start this one.
I'm a bit surprised they're doing this with how much information they've already given. But you know what I am excited! I'm just so torn on whether or not I should tune in because I want to avoid story spoilers as much as possible ๐ .
I finished up Xenogears earlier this week and oh my God...to say I was mind blown is an understatement! I did enjoy Disc 2 more than I thought I would but, I have to admit you can tell that it was rushed. It's a real shame because I haven't seen many games have this much depth with it's story. (Although to be fair, it would be a super long game if it was the same length as the first Disc.) After beating the game I looked up some explanation videos to clarify some of the things I was confused about and it only lead to my mind melting even more ๐. It's quite funny, I didn't see the hype for this game until around the end of Disc 1 and now I totally get it. I'm glad I played through the whole thing.
I'm now doing my 5th playthrough of Fire Emblem: Three Houses and I'm making a special effort to make sure I don't actually miss the Crimson Flower route this time ๐ . It feels nice to play this game again. After I beat Crimson Flower maybe I'll pick up Three Hopes.
I've been kind of on and off with CrossCode lately. I love everything about the game so far except the length of the dungeons. After a few days I'm only now getting out of the first dungeon ๐ hopefully these aren't too common.
