Future Redeemed provides an amazing balance of keeping what made XC3 so phenomenal and adding in just the right number of changes. Most of all, it serves as a beautiful love letter to fans who've been with the series for the long haul, as it features some callbacks to Xenogears and Xenosaga as well!

It’s not clear what the future holds for the Xenoblade series, but the director, Tetsuya Takahashi has confirmed that the story that started in the first game is officially finished with this DLC. Whether it will go the route of starting a brand new story in the same universe – like what Kingdom Hearts 4 appears to be doing – remains to be seen, but if this did happen to be the final thing we ever got in the Xenoblade franchise, I would be thoroughly satisfied. Future Redeemed is the perfect end to a perfect story.

Amazing game and a marvelous conclusion to the trilogy. The story is obviously MUCH shorter than in the base game with only 5 main chapters that are shorter in length compared to the base game's 7 main chapters that were rather long in length. Unless you're a completionist, expect to take around 15-ish hours on this game. If you are a completionist, my estimate would be around 30 hours maximum. WARNING: DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME BEFORE FINISHING THE ENTIRE TRILOGY, IT WILL SPOIL THE STORY OF EVERY TITLE EXCLUDING X. Personally, I didn't enjoy it as much as the base game, but that's to be expected for a shorter DLC story game. Felt the story was much weaker but it definitely had its moments.

De los dlc de la saga xenoblade, sin duda el mejor de todos. Coge gran cantidad de mecánicas del juego base, incluye varias nuevas, especialmente importantes en cuanto a la exploración, y te deja en unos pocos escenarios conectados, enormes, pero relativamente limitados, no haciendose más largo de la cuenta. La historia junta a personajes de todas las entregas anteriores, y explica un poco el inicio del mundo de xenoblade 3, antes de que el villano se hiciera con el poder, dejando ciertas cosas abiertas de cara a una futura entrega (quizás una posible conexión con xenoblade X).

Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Redeemed is an absolutely essential component of the Xenoblade Chronicles trilogy. Combat and exploration are tightly refined to keep things moving along, so there’s never a dull moment unless you choose to take a breather. The story relies heavily on nostalgia for its emotional moments, but fans will be pleased that some of the loose ends are finally tied together, albeit with knots they likely didn’t expect.

If you came here looking for anything but glowing praise, you came to the wrong place. All the work that Takahashi has put into building his world pays off beautifully here with a fun, rewarding nostalgia trip, the most refined gameplay in the series, and the same beautiful look and sound we’re accustomed to. Frankly, my biggest criticism is that I wanted more. Future Redeemed may close the door on one chapter of the Xenoblade Chronicles saga, but hopefully it won’t be too long before Monolith Soft opens another and I get just that—more Xenoblade.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Redeemed is Monolith Soft firing on all cylinders, and it’s a resounding victory lap that rewards longtime fans while showcasing exactly what this incredible team do best. The story balances new and old with a deft touch, and everyone gets their moments. Plus, there is so much to see and explore, with smart and satisfying reasons to do so. Maybe make sure you’ve played a few entries before jumping in, but this is heaven for Xenoblade fans.

Speaking of unexpected, what Future Redeemed does best is recontextualize the ending of Xenoblade 3.

There's so much there that I didn't expect in terms of little mechanical tweaks, and it reminded me of when Nintendo would occasionally give other designers (sometimes up-and-coming talent) a go just to see what they could do.

As someone that's loved the entire xenoblade series and the entire xeno metaseries, this is the absolute peak of the entire series, the music, story, characters and everything else are just top tier and acts as a perfect way to wrap up the Klaus saga and there was not a minute of it i didn't love

I gave XC3, main story and game an 8, because even if it is a good game, it has a lot of things missing and I did not get engaged with the story or most of the characters. But Future Redeemed caught my attention from the first minutes. The story is way more interesting and even the small adjustments to affinity and gameplay are awesome. It's what the main game should have been. 10/10 no questions asked

There is no worse thing than blocking such an important part of the story behind a DLC, I would have preferred a thousand times an extended presentation of this story, compared to the underwhelming game that is the third one. Unfortunately, the game has only minor variations from the gamplay from the base game, it improves it but I still prefer the other three for the reasons already listed in the base game. The game world is fun to explore and no frame drops are present. The music is a perfect mix of the series with the only negative being the horrible menu music, it was as infuriating in the base game as in this one. Matthew, A, Kagiroi, Nikol, Na'el are new characters much more interesting to watch than the cast of 3, not to mention the most powerful engineer in the world and Mr.Triple Strike himself. However,many references are left vague,and it leaves a bitter taste in the mouth.

Really satisfying combat and exploration, but a big let down with its creatively bankrupt story that feeds on XC1 and XC2 legacy and adds basically nothing to the table.

Nintendo Switch Summary Set before the events of Xenoblade Chronicles 3, join a cast of new and familiar characters in this original story scenario that connects all three instalments in the Xenoblade Chronicles series. Future Redeemed also features new battle mechanics, such as Unity Combo, where two characters can attack in unison.
