Indeed, if our team will be made up of several new characters, we will especially find the heroes Shulk and Rex, who have changed a lot since their respective opuses (Xenoblade 1 and Xenoblade 2). In terms of age, in particular, height too, and then class. If they will carry youth on their shoulders, other strong protagonists will punctuate the adventure. We will mainly follow Matthew, a young pugilist in search of his sister Na’el. Attentive players will remember that Xenoblade Chronicles 3 describes Matthew as a legend of the past, the liberator of the City and founder of the Vandham clan. He had notably taken the beak with the terrible consul N, key antagonist of the main adventure. A prank that we can perhaps play?
When there’s more, there’s more
But more than an immersion in the past of Xenoblade Chronicles 3, A future found also offers to deepen the gameplay with a new mechanic, the union combo. As the name suggests, two characters sync up to attack simultaneously. Few details have been disclosed, but one imagines that different combinations will have different results and repercussions, requiring you to play your cards wisely.
For music lovers, you will find, under the trailer, the OST of said trailer, entitled New Battle!!!. That has the merit of being clear. In the pure tradition Xenobladethese three minutes of happiness combine piano, violins, groovy colors and guitars to motivate us to rebel against injustice.
Collectors will be able to get the Pyra/Mythra double amiibo pack starting Friday, July 21. Scanning miniatures will unlock cosmetics in the main story: Protagonist Noah will be able to wield the blades of both Aegis while in Sword Class. No impact on gameplay though. Note that a future update will let us obtain these cosmetics without having to purchase the corresponding figurines. Noah and Mio amiibos will be released later.
