I obviously won't spoil any story beats but it's a very nice way to wrap up the Klaus saga while paving the way to the story of the base game of Xenoblade 3. I absolutely do not recommend playing Future Redeemed if you haven't played Xenoblade 1 or 2 since it spoils both games heavily, especially Xenoblade 1.
I'm not really a fan of the gameplay changes like finding upgrades for arts, gems and accessories slots. It just made progression feel like a chore but it's Xenoblade. The OWE and combat is still fun and even more dynamic to explore than ever and there's a lot to do at every corner. Not to mention there's a lot of challenging optional fights like the UMs. Plus community is back and updating NPC text is kino.
I really love the callbacks and fanservice as well. Again no spoilers but there are a few parts that had me like "Yoooooooooooo" and "OMG no way!" It just felt very rewarding to play previous games.
Overall I say Future Redeemed is a nice way to close out Xenoblade since Takahashi finally achieved his dream of telling an epic story that spans across multiple games fully. I am very curious about where Xeno will go as a franchise now!
