Why didn't Xenoblade 3 have the same level of cultural impact and relevancy in the gaming zeitgeist like its predecessor, Xenoblade 2, had?

Even before making the pick for Super Smash Bros Ultimate, XB2's main heroines had an insane level of fan art that you don't see with XB3. Homura and Hikari's appeal and popularity transcend their games, but the same cannot be said for any XB3 characters.

The cast of XB3 is just kind of boring in comparison to 2 and people kinda got their fill from 2 from this "version" of the series.

ultimately? the story was worse than 1 and 2. it was dependent on both of them while also being total nonsense. Both the setting and the villains are just bizarre.

One was the sequel to Xenoblade 1, the other was the sequel to Xenoblade 2.

It was just a really bad game with nothing remarkable about it

2 isn't a sequel to 1 anon, they happen at the same time. 3 is a sequel to both 1 and 2 however.

xb3 has really boring character designs if you compare it to the previous games cast.

Doesn't help that no one's really asking for a xeno sequel after 2.

Uh, what do you mean? Everyone wanted a sequel after 2.

It suffered from sequelitis. Doesn't help that it was worse than 2 in everyway but the dlc.

3 sucked. The cast was boring, the story was somehow worse than 2, and the gameplay wasn't fun.

Also the first game I've experienced that made the concept of the blue mage lame.

2 is a gacha trash wannabe and only tolerated on account of its character designs. Its the single most overrated video game ever. Inb4
>enough about 3
I didnt like 3 either

I think the only thing noteworthy that came from this game was N scene.

I'm not defending gacha but you can savescum it with NSO cloud saves or on an emulator. It's not ideal but the option is there at least.

Homura and Hikari (inb4 ken-sama.jpg) are some of the most iconic video game characters of the last decade.

Pyra and Mythra are top tier in smash ultima and they're #1 in japanese popularity charts.

Not a good metric at all and doubling down makes you look retarded.

This anon >>737082076 is right.
Xenoblade 1 is the only one with actual cultural impact so far.
>>
If a character design was good enough to make a lot of people want to draw porn of the character then that's cultural impact. It's not cultural impact to the level of The Beatles but it's more than can be said for any of the XC3 shitters.

2 had a fantastic ending that paid off everything that had happened so far in the best way. 3 had an absolutely dogshit ending (really everything after the prison arc was sub-par) that made you question why you committed so much time to it. Not that complicated.

>>737082798
Some people would even say that chapter 10 is the only good part of 2.

I would question those people's judgement to play a 100+ game that they didn't enjoy until the very end

I just want the next Xenoblade game to be its own sub-series detatched from the past.

Xenoblade 3 has some issues but Soul Hacker isn’t one of them imo
>>
>>737081034
Because it had very little for secondaries that dont actually play the game to latch on to like 2 did with all its gacha boobie characters. its the same reason why nobody ever talks about xenogears.
none of these people actually play any of the games.

YOU ANON, however, should play all the xeno games because they are good and surely you arent a secondary right?

Why doesn't Nintendo just buy Xenogears? It's not Square Enix is doing anything with it.
