The Next Xenoblade Will Be "Vastly Different" Says Monolith Soft Director (www.nintendolife.com)

The message comes from the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Limited Edition soundtrack

The soundtrack comes with a booklet that includes the message from Takahashi, but unlike the Trinity Box, the notes here are only included in Japanese.

"Rather than playing on defense, going on the offense; change rather than maintain. This is a stance that I have continued to hold for thirty years. If there is another “Xenoblade,” it will likely be something vastly different from what came before. In style and in music, I would like to make my next goal something that will betray everyone’s expectations, in a good way."

As a huge fan of Xenoblade games, that really excite me. As much as I love these games, I want them to try something new. They were also working on that medieval fantasy game, I wonder what happened to that.

Given that their april 2023 posting was for an action game, id say its a safe guess to assume thats the direction its going https://web.archive.org/web/20230415153612/https://hr.geeq.co.jp/job/101843

I think an actual action rpg would be better at this point. XBC3 got really stale for me by chapter 5 when every tough enemy just turned into waiting to use that team attack, which killed pretty much everything. I initially liked the story and some of the side quests, but I quit early Ch 6 when the story was devolving into some weird KH levels of convoluted BS, and I saw that despite finishing a BUNCH of side quests by that point, there were a billion more waiting for me.

Well, XC3 is one of my favourite game, and I loved every minute of it. But I agree that enemy encounters did take some time. Also, as I said above, I want them to try something new. It would be nice to see their take on action RPG.

Interesting.
