[This review addresses waves two and three of the Expansion Pass, because even though Future Redeemed got its own review, it didn't make much sense to split up something this small.]
The new Hero Quests are neat but nothing special. The Hero characters themselves are fun, but the questlines don't really add much to the lore or worldbulding like the best Hero Quests in the base game do.
The new roguelike challenge battle mode is really cool though. Granted, I don't think Xenoblade Chronicles 3's combat is particularly well-suited to a roguelike system, but the way you have to balance your purchases combined with the luck involved in getting useful items to purchase makes for a rather intriguing little side modes. I played on the easiest difficulty to unlock the new costumes, but I'm sure it becomes immensely more satisfying on harder difficulties when you actually have to put thought into your builds.
