Every Xenoblade game brings some wonderful QoL to the table, and Future Redeemed brings a BOATLOAD that improves the flow of base Xenoblade 3.
Exploration is a bigger focus than ever, with nearly EVERYTHING you find in Aionios resulting in the direct growth of your characters.
New enemy? Take it out to fill in the Enemypaedia and score some free points for your skill trees!
Pick up an item? Throw it in the Collectopaedia, returning from XC1 and offering some more AP for your skills!
Treasure Container or find a spot to craft? Free AP on top of whatever loot was in there!
There's also a brand new completion tracker included on the map screen! No more wondering if you've explored everything a section of the map has to offer, you can just take a look!
As someone who willingly gets lost for hours in any Xenoblade game, this change is a dream come true.
The story, without spoilers, gives depth to events in XC3 that weren't given much detail, while also serving as a finale to the trilogy of games. If you've played all the entries up to this point, Future Redeemed offers a lot of fanservice in the form of returning locations, characters, and references to previous events in the series. The protagonists, Matthew and A, are wonderful additions to the series. Their dynamic with each other, and the previous protagonists of the series, put a smile on my face throughout the whole journey.
While this expansion is full of welcome changes that I HOPE get brought into the next game in the series, there are aspects that definitely should not have been locked behind 30 dollar DLC. (Certain character backstories being a huge one.)
Sadly, this DLC doesn't fill in the important character plotholes that XC3 has, and the hole it tries to fill just doesn't tell the whole story.
Overall, I really enjoyed this expansion! With so many good changes to the series formula, it's shot up pretty high in my ranking of the Xeno-titles that I've played. Short for an RPG, and does not overstay it's welcome in the slightest.
