Pretty solid expansion. It's just more Xenoblade 3 for the most part with plenty of satisfying exploration and marking off checklists. Restricting gem, accessory and art slots behind items hidden throughout the world does make exploration feel notably more rewarding but even after doing a substantial amount of exploring and completing almost all of the sidequests, I still finished the expansion lacking several affinity growth sections as well as some gem and art slots which did feel kind of annoying when it came to the more difficult bosses. The new characters were pretty weak but getting to use gigachad shulk and rex was cool and the new girls had cute designs at least. The story was decent and had cool xenosaga-related confirmations as well as a nice conclusion, but like with the main game the story did take a backseat to the gameplay. I enjoyed the combat changes but not being able to change classes like in the main game was a bit disappointing since I wanted to use Shulk but didn't want to play a tank. Also non-healers not being able to revive is still very very annoying.
