Xenoblade Chronicles: Future Connected
I'm going to keep my thoughts about Future Connected short, because I don't have too much to say since this is sort of a small epilogue included to make people who already played OG Xenoblade Chronicles on the Wii to double dip. The story is pretty simple, Shulk and Melia fight off the Fog King and that's about it, which was a little disappointing after beating the original game. It's nice to see where Shulk and Melia are after the end of the game, and that's about it. The whole plot about the Fog King was pretty generic and would fall flat if this was the main plotline of a actual game, but it's fine for being something small. It takes place on the Bionis Shoulder, a new area of the game that wasn't in the original Xenoblade Chronicles, and I'm glad it's here in Future Connected, because if it was the same world from the base game, my score would probably be lower. It's a nice-looking place, and unique enough to keep me engaged with Future Connected.
The Ponspectors are a new group introduced in Future Connected, and they replace chain attacks and deal passive damage as well. These little guys were a nice addition to keep things fresh, but I'm glad they were only included in just Future Connected, I don't know if they would work out if they were in the base game.
Overall, Future Connected is a decent time to spend if you love the main story of Xenoblade Chronicles, but not really a necessary expansion to play. It's good, but you're not gonna miss much if you decide to skip it for whatever reason. I forced myself to complete it, and glad I did. Now, I'm just get to Xenoblade Chronicles 2 later on.
