Perfect closure to the Klaus' saga. A game full of passion from its creators, filled to the brim with references and homages to the fans.
The gameplay loop and incentive to explore was great (a sure step up from the main game). I loved Matthew as a protagonist and the rest of the cast was great.
The story, perfect to the last minute detail. And that LORE (if you finished the game you know what I'm talking about).
I'm truly grateful to Takahashi and Monolith Soft as a whole for the wonderful experience with the series, and I can't wait to see what's next
[Switch] A great conclusion to Klaus' saga. The story is really short, obviously made for those who have played the complete series (as it should), but I think it leaves too much to the player's interpretation without giving decisive answers. The characters are ok, nothing too particoulary well done, except for the returning characters which are a welcome surprise for every fan. I just felt that the final part of the story was REALLY rushed and could have been done better with just 1 or 2 hours more. At the start, I didn't even realized I was at the final boss.
The gameplay is where this DLC tuly shines. The already fun and interesting gameplay of the base game is even better in this expansion, allowing the player to perform various tactics even more easily, without making it too easy. The characters are a joy to play as, I never had so much fun playing a Xenoblade as in this one!
The world map is HUGE and connected without any sort of loading which is REALLY impressive, definitely a step forward from the base game. It's also is more memorable and with much mkre activities to do in it. The DLC does, in fact, incentive exploration by giving a lot of bonuses to the active player, which is something 2 and 3 completely missed. The map is also a great gift for those who played 1 and 2. Really nostalgic... I'll miss this series.
Thank you, Xenoblade Chronicles. Truly.
