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. Pyra and Mythra's appeal and popularity transcend their games, but the same cannot be said for any XB3 characters.

The girls were too conservatively dressed
That and the plot had no fucking stakes. None of the captains were ever at risk of dying, none of the part members were ever at risk of dying, none of the part every had any fucking meaningful rapport with each other other than maybe cardio bunny and meathead (because of their shared retardedness). Every time you entered a new colony you knew EXACTLY how the plot would go down. And the game had the audacity to end with "it was a dreamworld all along LOL".
Never let Westerners I to your franchise folks. Things are better when women are sexualized.

XB2 is over the top and hyper-acted with garish designs right when weeaboos were becoming mainstream in 2017/2018
XB3 in comparison is way more drab and "mundane" for a lack of a better word, with plot and characters that, although generally better than its predecessor's, doesn't hit its emotional heights with the same intensity

it takes itself way too seriously and contains no whimsy
xenoblade 2 has the perfect balance

The most memorable part of XB3 is when the girl said "WOTAAAAAAH" and they gave you that for free.

>costumes of main cast are fairly bland, even worse for NPCs and most guests, who are either black bodysuits or Japanese-style white onmyoji stuff
>main cast starts off well but several of them just drop off a cliff in usefulness, Sena's entire side-story gets hijacked by two other characters
>references to 1 and 2 in their locations and characters wear their course really quickly, start to feel less like fun callbacks and more like the literal smashing of the two games into each other like the story presents, gets old fast
>story just drops off after Chapter 5's big cutscene, feels like all the budget went into that, stakes start to feel very less after Mio cheat-codes out the homecoming, one of the Consuls is literally a no-buildup reveal as Noah's old flute mentor in a reused mech boss fight
>guest party members are sometimes more interesting than the main cast and would have served better as main party members in the central story, highly underutilized, except some of the ones who do get involved in the story, such as
>BITCHQUEEN BITCHQUEEN BITCHQUEEN
>gameplay starts to auto-play itself after you get Lucky Seven, so beyond broken it makes the game less fun, while also destroying your exp gains, making grinding a slog
>Riku just knows everything and explains nothing, looking at his stupid face and smug attitude as he knows everything that's going to happen gets obnoxious
>final boss fight is ridiculously long and makes you start from square one if you blow it
>ending that resets the entire game is beyond fucking offensive if you put any amount of time into the side-content, invalidates all your work and regulates the game to a filler arc
>DLC was much better in cast and story, but makes you wish it was the actual game expanded upon
It's one of the most mediocre games I ever played, and the only reason it's not in my Top 10 worst is because there are actual mechanically-terrible games that supercede it by leagues. Gameplay is very good, that's all nice I can say.

Because XC2 is like Monster Hunter World.
It got a bunch of stupid fucks into the series that never played a game prior to XC2 (World) and they decided to hate 3 (Rise and Wilds) because it wasn't XC2 2 (World 2) while also never bothering to touch the older games.

The only good Xenoblade 3 scene is when the group see a baby for the first time. The only good villain is Shania because it ultimately wasn't her fault, she was acting out in response to how her shitty mom raised her. The Heroes are far more interesting than the main cast. Fiona is best Xenoblade 3 girl.

Because it was ugly, was woke, had blacks, and was gay. It looked like shit and the characters looked ugly. The dlc was the only good thing and it ticks me off it never got a stand alone edition. I would have bought the dlc and ignored the base game because of how shit base game was.

xb3 is so trash I played xb1 in 2011 and xb2 on release fine but Ive tried to finsih xb3 twice now and it's just so bad
maybe if the combat systems were better I could push through but I keep getting bored. The game is too easy, on hard whole time never using rest xp, still having to avoid every single openworld monster because i min danger of overleveling 24/7, the combat system is ass you can spam revives which you couldnt do in 1 and 2 so its hard to ever actually fully wipe you just go 3 healers and spam res everyone while waiting until chain attack to do 80% of bosses hp in one go with no set up at all because chain attacks are OP.
then the job system sucks constantly swapping around while people max out their current class
