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). I'm just hyped to see all the pieces put together.

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 shulk, or at least the guy they're trying to pass off as shulk

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. They'll see the truth!

Besides the statue of Fei as well, I presume.

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 klaus is actually still alive but half of his body is being consumed by a black hole and the klaus you fight in XC1 is a DARK version that wasn't ever the REAL klaus.

move all remaining groundhog mercenaries to the front lines. Have sheep troopers squadrons A and B flank the cows. They're using DC-17 hoof blasters.

I actually think that makes sense though. Why shouldnt there be multiple universes created? Plus it ties to the two games together

I don't know how you could dislike the coolest part of XC2. Seeing that the two games were linked, happening at the same time, and all because of one dope scientist messing with ultimate power. He's still Klaus. He just went kinda crazy in one universe. It's one of the more clever ways to tie two games

Good let it end, finally. The XC1 - XC3 storyline has dragged on for too long.

No, Future Connected can be completely skipped, really. It's essentially a filler episode.

I mean, if you still want to play it, be my guest, but it's narrative left a lot to be desired.

They're all connected but you could also play any of them without playing the other. Hardcore fans were a bit upset with 3 because it was far more self contained than we all thought it would be

This upcoming DLC is the throwbacks and lingering threads people have been wanting

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.

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

I got maybe an hour into it once I finished XC2 recently. It was pretty good from what I played. Maybe a couple hours actually.

True, though I feel that that will probably be explained in Future Redeemed anyway.

I really enjoyed 1 up to the boss fight with skull face/red guy/whatever (after you get the girl that joins the group)but after wiping on that fight for like an hour I shelved the game and never went back to it.

It didn't ruin it. Say what you will about that game but 3 is great.

Also heavily enjoying the DLC so far. There's loads of content in it which...I suppose shouldn't have surprised me considering Torna's amount of content but it feels like I barely scratched the surface with what I can do and I've played for like 4+ hours.
