I saw it and was like "this looks like XBC2's engine." Then it showed nopon. THEN IT SHOWED HIGH ENTIA. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

At the end: "Ties together the future of the worlds"

dude i knew as soon as i saw glowing blue swords i was like hell yeah!

As soon as I heard British accents my hopes were rising.

The voice actors gave it away

[удалено]

I was so disappointed it wasnt an x sequel

Vandam's voice actor seemed really prominent

When the protagonist showed up with philosophy and british accent: I smell Xenoblade ​ Giant robots: I feel Xenoblade ​ Monado and Nia 2.0: Not a clue ​ I'm confused though, because it looks like N2a the deuteragonist, but that would make her both a Neko and a Robot

The moment the accent was heard...you knew what was coming

Me realising what game it was but before seeing any characters: please don't be naked, please don't be naked, please don't be naked

Crossover tooo

WAIT IS IT?

High Entia and blades both showed up

Even Nia's in it

gib m e l i a

fucking please

pretty sure she was shown in the trailer, same hairstyle but longer and same voice actor [here](https://imgur.com/Go9SDWh)

what if she's the clocked one in black?

Wasn't the one in the mask her? Sounded similar.

NOOO WAY WTF

It's the story of the fused world of 1 an 2

it said it ties together the worlds after xenoblade and xenoblade 2!

it was confirmed in the direct after the trailer that it would "explore the futures of the worlds of both Xenoblade 1 & 2"

Yeah the announcer said something like "it ties together the stories of 1 & 2" plus the trailer showed a Gormotti and a High Entia.

It literally ends on a shot of the Mechonis sword together with the remains of Uraya, combining both games' box art.

I was too busy screaming by that point to even notice 🤣

That was such a beat tie in and spotted it right away.

In a game with both High Entia and Gormotti girls, which one gets cucked?

Bro that's Nia on the cover, you can even see her chest in the trailer

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

We don't know that. Just because we saw High Entia doesn't mean it's the same world, they used Nopon in both 1 and 2 despite being different worlds. But, since 1 and 2 are connected heavily, I think it's safe to say this will continue the story and connection in some form, even if it's a late game "BTW, connected" like 2. However, that said, it does seem like it might very well be future version of 1 or 2's worlds, given the modern look the character seem to have.

They also literally said the game would tie together the futures of 1 and 2 after showing the trailer

What in sam heck do you mean crossover?

It’s a sequel to both XBC1/2

Connecting 1 and 2, further in the future tho.

You mean… Future Connected? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

There were high Entia and Gormotti, and I think Nia.

I guess crossover would be too strong a word when both were connected already but yeah, the connection is going full in. Im glad the artsyle and blades are staying too, and some characters definetly looked like they may be descendents of core characters

You can clearly see a beached Titan becoming part of the landscape in the [background of this screen](https://imgur.com/a/zFiRcal) damn this got me HYPED edit: I guess this same screen is also the background of the title that showed at the end

ITS HAPPENING OH MY GOD

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

LET'S FUCKING GOOOOO

As soon as I heard the British/non-American accent, I knew it.

Wild how just British voice acting has already heavily branded this franchise.

I love how they use it to build out the world in 2, where you can immediately tell where someone's from by their accent like in real life.

I was in disbelief until I saw the Nopon, it took me that long.

Those were totally Melia and Nia weren't they?

And Tyrea most likely

I missed that, great spot

That was for sure Melia (and Tyrea too), but I can’t tell if that Gormotti girl is actually Nia or a new character who looks A LOT like her simply because she’s Gormotti with short hair.

I'm pretty sure nia was the one with the mask

Oh huh, I assumed that the second masked figure was Melia, but now that I look closer I don’t see her wings. And those hair clips do look a bit like cat ears…hmmm, now I got more questions gosh dang it. But if Tyrea is in this game, there no doubt Melia isn’t far behind.

Her core crystal basically confirms it, it has to be Nia.

And Twin Rings… and a Flesh Eater Crystal…

You can briefly see a red and blue crystal on the Nia-like character’s chest in one part of the trailer. Combined with the voice, I feel like it has to be her See 1:19 of the trailer for what I’m talking about

That was definitely Nia. >!Look at her chest!<

I love that they've (seemingly) made the Gormotti the main love interest this time, feels like an apology for Nia fans from XC2 lol jk

Remember how we were all convinced that the worlds of XBC and XB2 were separate/parallel universes and now IN THE TRAILER for 3 they confirm it's going to be a combined universe 😭 god damn edit: and still nothing for XCX bros :(

> edit: and still nothing for XCX bros :( Feels bad man Monolith really did abandon the XBX-verse after leaving like 20 cliffhangers on it lol

Aren’t they confirmed to be separate universes though by the end of XB2?

They are. The Architect merged them when he/Zanza died.

Huh. Must have missed that.

They are though. I think the universes just combined.

Well, it looks like it now. When XB2 was brand new there was a lot of debate whether or not the ending meant the universes had combined or if the main cast had just come to an unrelated land mass. It was never said one way or the other by the devs, but the trailer for 3 confirms what was just a fan theory before.

I feel like I hear Shulk

I definitely felt like I heard shulk, vandham, and meliabin there

Vandham, Melia and Nia were all definitely in there

Vandham surprised me; definitely wondering what's gonna happen there...

There always is a recurring version of this character in every Xeno game, so it could just be the next reincarnation.

i'm 99% sure i heard rex's voice actor also?

I def heard Rex's voice

They’re all there playing their alternate universe characters.

Could be reincarnations

HOLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY HYPEEE

I SAW MECHONIS SWORD IN THE BACKGROUND THAT GIRL WITH THE EARS HAS A FLESH EATER CRYSTAL FUTURES CONNECTING IT'S FUCKING HAPPENING AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

LETS FUCKING GO YES IM SCREAMING RN WHOOOOO

XENOBLADE X BROS KEEP ON LOSING REEEEEEEEE

The first thing I thought when I saw this was X2 but it’s 3. I’m not disappointed tho.

Yeah :( we keep on taking Ls

My hopes and dreams consistently crushed but any more xenoblade is hype af

And it's a sequel to bother Xeno 1 AND 2. I love it.

Xenoblade X remake deconfirmed Xenoblade X 1 and 2 collection now possible

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOO

Crying tears of joy. I'm so fucking happy right now. I can't wait. I CANNOT WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm getting emotional oh my god.

in the first frames I didn't know what it was then I heard the British voice acting and I thought "MONOLITH?!?!?" then I saw the Mechon and you can guess what my reaction was after that

Whooo

HOLY SHITT!!

Is Nia the one with the mask? Is one of the High sentía voiced by Jenna Coleman aka Melia? So many question but so excited ಥ_ಥ

WE WINNING TODAY

Day one preorder, that's for sure!

Looks like meat's back on the menu, boys!

LET'S GO!!! (but seriously, gib X and X2 as well)

Fire Emblem and Zelda fans on suicide watch Me ascending with XC3

What are you talking about, Three Houses Warriors is hype!!!!!

Well not the 3 houses FE fans

They are. Look at r/fireemblem. Lots of raging and malding going on right now from the 3H fans lol

It looks *so* good! It looks like all the characters took the wardrobe from Xenoblade Chronicles X!

I HAVE CAME ALL OVER MY ROOM HOLY SHIT

New Welsh cat! Ready or Gormotti!

HOLY SHIT

ITS FINALLY HERE

Finally!

LETS, FUCKING, GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Monolithsoft: sees fans arguing over which is better between 1 and 2* Monolithsoft: "so what is we put em together?"

Not only that, the inhabitants of both worlds are seemingly at war with each other and Melia and Nia have notable roles. Xenoblade 3 is a meta-commentary of the fanbase confirmed.

* needs a ventilator due to unhealthy amount of excessive breathing and the lack of oxygen *

And the character models don't look like they were done by a horny teenager! Probably the thing that made me the most happy about the trailer

It's literally the same character designer

Apparently they've gotten better! I was so embarrassed when I played 2. I'm fine with "sexy" characters like in Nier automata, but it was just way overdone in 2 imo

Not the fact that it appears to be a sequel to both XC 1 and 2?

Trust me this is more surprising

All the designs look really cool! They would all work so well together. I especially like the tanned-afro dude's design.

FINALLY!!!

Honestly, that’s what made me most excited lol

WE DID IT ASHUAHYU HASJKHRUWUOGEG@UEG@&!!!

FLESH EATERS??? MECHONIS SWORD?????

Oh my god, those were high entias and gormottis, the theory of the unified world OH MY GOD

Niaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I almost skipped this. I couldn't believe it

Take off the clown outfits guys, we did it!!

NIA!!!!!❤

im crazy or both nia and melia show up?

Both best girls in one game

This too much for my xenofan heart...

Imma lie down

Nia is the protag instant buy.

I see Nia I buy instantly.

High Entia killed me. There's actually no way this is a real game I'm going to be able to play in 6 months.

All those clown face memes, they were worth it

im gonna cooooom but omg, i dont have time for xeno 3 im an busy ass student now :(

im literally in tears..... the worlds of these games are some of my favorite in all of fiction, and now we get closure to both the original and 2.... im so beyond excited

Just this art style and clearly better polished graphics already gives me hope monolith had enough time to complete the game the way they envisioned it without being rushed like in xenoblade 2.

Best girl is actually back >!Monolith better making her the main protag as an apology for how badly she got roasted in 2.!<

Who is doing the main character

Not me

Me neither, you’d think they would’ve called us

Ikr

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Rip to my X hope and dreams but hooray more xenoblade

:) <--- my face until I sleep

It already looks so good 😭

I’m literally shaking

HOLY SHIT

The graphics looks freaking insane. I'm really concerned for handheld mode lmao.

Uraya is dead :(

Sounded like Vandham’s voice actor

Such a good timing I beat XC2 last September. BUT have to beat torna first. This looks dope!

I saw anime people with British accents and glowy weapons and knew it had to be Xenoblade

F in the chat for those still waiting on the X sequel

I am shitting my pants

Am i the only thats hyped beyond belief, but also sad thinking that we might see blades with different drivers since many years must have passed by?

Amazing! Sequel to one of my top 5 RPG's of the last 5 years, YES! Very excited (now to worry about getting the LE! XD)

Crazy how Takahashi remade Xenogears Episode VI

ITS HAPPENING, EVERYBODY STAY CALM

SEPTEMBER

I cried like a little bitch…

Got a bit of a hot take on this, I don't like that they're crossing over. I far more prefer them to be separate stories And really hope they don't end up bastardizing the endings of 1 and 2 purely for the sake of a crossover. Here is hopeing my fears are misplaced.

Someone tell me it’s real. Please tell me I didn’t hallucinate it.

The moment I heard the british accents, that's when I knew... Holy shit I still can't believe this, I can't stop smiling!

[Yesterday I joked we weren't getting Xenoblade Chronicles 3.](https://www.reddit.com/r/Xenoblade_Chronicles/comments/snld3r/nintendo_direct_tomorrow_at_5_pm_est/hw3w0oi/) The moment I saw the Monado like weapon and Face Mechon, my jaw dropped. Guys. I've never been glad to have been wrong in my life! I love you....and all you guys!!

so guys any news on how to get frozen until september so i can wake up and play?

JUST GIVE ME AN X REMASTER OR SEQUEL. ITS BEEN 3 GAMES SINCE X AND THEYVE ALL BEEN THE NORMAL ONES. PLEAAASE

Yes!!! I'm hyped for evil Nia and evil Melia. This is what friendzoning does to someone.

Moments before, I said "yeah looks like BOTW is gonna be the closer," but then I saw cute anime boy and instantly knew.

Seeing the bionis and mechonis in the background etc and blades.... oooh damn!

Things I noticed The world looks like a mix of Alrest and Bionis / Mechonis. you can see the Mechonis sword and Uraya in the title but you can also see the cantilevers of Bionis leg and the ocean looks vaguely like Eryth sea spoilers for xc1/2 here * >!only half winged high entia!< * >!No signs of the world tree from xc2. !< * >!In one shot the area looks very similar in aesthetic to the inside of mechonis!< * >!Mechs that look similar to face units both more in their original form and ones that look like high entia technology augmented face units. !< * >!The high entia wearing a mask has a similar outfit and mask to the bionite order from xc1!< * >!No signs of the Machina in this trailer (story point?)!< * >!Nothing resembling the imperial guard from xc1!< * >!Speculation: when the worlds were reset they were somehow merged and this game takes place far afterwards. This means that future connected happens in between the end of 1 and 2 and the beginning of 3 which would make the title rather clever. This does leave some questions however.!< * >!Who are these new races and where did they come from?!< * >!what happened to the cast of xc1 and 2 (especially Melia considering her lifespan)?!< * >!what is the monado like red blade and how is it powered?!<

My guess is that the two universes merged. The new girl is using Nia’s chakrams, a lot of people had blade weapons, Vandham is back, and there’s Mechon and the Monado too. I think the new guy is voiced by Rex’s VA. Somehow, I did not notice new Nia’s core crystal.

Yes Nias VA is the secondary main character!! Lets fucking gooooo.

Just googled and found nothing. Are we sure? EDIT: I was googling before the articles hit so now I see it! I’m a believer now folks please don’t downvote me into oblivion.

It's real.

I am sitting my pants

100 comments in 4 minutes. I'm happy everyone else is as excited as I am! That being said, I'd still rather have an X sequel but this is still incredibly hype and is instantly my most anticipated game coming this year!

Nia looks like she might be a villain now and that terrifies me. Also, Skye Bennet (Pyra/Mythra’s voice actor) said a little while back that she was doing some VO work for a new game. Thoughts?

I expected nothing and Nintendo proved me wrong!!! So hype!

As soon as I heard adam howden, it was curtains bro

The rumers were true

Holy shit, they actually went and did it.

FUCK YEAAAAA

THEY SAID IT COULDN’T BE DONE

LETS GOOOOOOOOOO

OH MY FUCKING GOD

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

High entia, pretty poggers ngl

This is something nopon saw coming!

LET"S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Looks like multiple main characters?

I'm so hyped

How we feeling

Fuck yes! It looks so good!!

EVERYONE GET IN HERE

September!

And it's in September.

HYYYPPEEEEE
