https://youtu.be/KFlf_S5Woug From XC1 to XC3, we are here. What a long journey this has been. People are hoping for a blatant Xenogears reference (beside the MC looking and fighting just like Fei).

As someone who hated 2, i especially hate how 3 is more of 2, only it's now dragging 1 down with it as well. I wish 1 had no relation to the other games at all and wasn't ruined in that manner... I recoiled when I saw the new I am glad X is unsullied at least --- People can do it. As long as they can open their eyes and look around, they'll see it.

Yea, I've pretty much consigned that the structured, complete, and self-contained story of XC1 was fluke for Xeno-series. X's story was the weakest part of the game and completely back-loaded (plus cliff-hanger 'twist') and 2 and 3 just can't leave things alone and are compelled to create some Kingdom Hearts tiered story-telling involving constant use and re-use of characters (and copies of characters) that had complete arcs. I generally enjoyed the plot beats of XC2 (not the individual character interaction and dialogue) up until --- move all remaining groundhog mercenaries to the front lines.

Solar_Crimson posted... No, Future Connected can be completely skipped, really. It's essentially a filler episode.Well, at the most, you'll probably need to know where the Fog Beasts came from, since those have come back as enemies in this new DLC story. Edit: Also not sure what's going on with the whole "why can't they do self-contained stories again" notion. They've been doing that. The callbacks to previous games are for the veteran players and they largely have done a good job with it. XC2 fleshed out Klaus/Zanza, not hurt it. Klaus/Zanza was uninteresting as a character in XC1, and 2 fixed that. XC2 provided the context that the same man can change depending on circumstances. Zanza is not a "dark version" of Klaus...it is Klaus, just under different circumstances: what would happen if someone like Klaus saw his experiment come to fruition. Meanwhile Klaus in XC2's world shows what someone like him would become if his experiment failed. It humbled him, made him feel persecuted/punished from on high, and tried to seek forgiveness. Also, seeing Melia and Nia become queens in XC3 is cathartic for people who played their respective games because it showed how they grew. It's not like they're pulling a Finn and disregarding their previous growth just to re-tell it again. They're going back and fleshing these characters out further. --- Game collection: http://www.backloggery.com/bakonbitz Gaming channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwVQm69J7bGScbv3_50C0dA ...

Yeah I really appreciate the restraint this series has with not going too hard in referencing its past. Each game has been new characters, new world, new lore with crumbs of previous game. They could have made 3 the Endgame of the series but they told a new story with a theme that resonates with the series as a whole. Though this dlc is them lifting a lot of restraints for the long time fans --- "This is your last dance." ... Copied to Clipboard!
