Is Xenoblade too complex for you? Explaining why the series is so good
Posted on 2 years ago by Luiz in Features, New Nintendo 3DS, Switch, Videos, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments
We are just a couple of weeks away from the release of Xenoblade Chronicles 3, which feels a little bit surreal considering that the game was announced in February of this year.
As expected, a lot of people are trying to get into the series before the third entry comes out, and some will probably hear about how the series is complex and not always super friendly to beginners. Although it is undeniable that Xenoblade can be complicated sometimes, I get the impression that when the discourse is so focused on the series complexity, there’s a chance that we are scaring some future fans.
Taking that into consideration, I decided to make a video talking about the overall appeal of the series and why fans love it so much despite the complexity. Feel free to check out the video down below.

Here we are again talking about Xenoblade Chronicles – this time with something a little bit different. Instead of the usual ten-minute video we usually share on Sunday, this is more of a discussion. I’ve had a desire to talk more in-depth about the franchise because there’s so much to discuss about these complex games.
To help me on this task, our reporter Nicolas joined me in an hour-long Xenoblade discussion where we talk about our experiences with the series, specific plot points and what we expect from the future third game in the franchise. If you are interested, feel free to check it out in the video down below.

Last May, a new figure for Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition was revealed for Melia based on her appearance in Future Connected. We then saw a prototype version a few months later.
Tying in with the WonHobby 32 event, we now have a look at the final version of the 1/7 scale figure for Melia. You can see the design above.
There’s no word yet on when the Melia figure will be ready for production, but hopefully it’ll be finished by the end of the year.
[Interview] Adam Howden talks returning to the role of Shulk for Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Interviews, New Nintendo 3DS, Switch, Wii | 0 comments
It’s been six years since we last caught up with Adam Howden, the voice of Shulk. A lot has happened with the Xenoblade series since then – including a new version of the very original Wii game for Switch.
We felt that with Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition having released earlier in the year, now would be a great time to catch up with Howden once again. It’s a particularly good time since Howden contributed to the game in a big way. Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition features a brand new epilogue, Future Connected, focused on Melia and Shulk.
You can read our full interview below. Note that the discussion contains some spoiler-related information pertaining to the series, but we’ve labeled that part at the very end and separated it from the rest of the interview.

Good Smile hasn’t said when the new Melia figure will be releasing. Stay tuned for further updates.
