An Overly Long and Critical Dive into Xenoblade Chronicles 3
This game left me with a lot of thoughts and feelings I wanted to figure out, so that’s exactly what I set out to do.
I started writing this all the way back in August 2022. After months of scripting, audio recording, gameplay capturing, editing and polishing, it’s nice to finally have this project finished. At this time I haven’t decided if I want to cover Future Redeemed as my thoughts are pretty minimal on it.
Although if you find yourself curious, I did record my reaction to the ending which is up on my Ko-fi!
