Excellent mini adventure from the Xenoblade world. Really enjoyed spending more time with Melia, and the two Nopon characters are the best of that race the series has had in the party. The world is mostly similar in theme, but it's just as dense and fun to explore as any singular area across the franchise. Side quests are enjoyable and I like collecting both items and Ponspectors in this expansion, I hope this more open-world collectable idea gets developed for Monolith's next game. My major gripe comes from progression, where I don't feel much stronger throughout the adventure. You never learn any new moves or gain any new party members after you get the four. I was really hoping for a fifth character to switch up the gameplay across my 10+ hour gametime. Hoping we can get more of these small adventures in between the larger releases.
