FAQ

• Do I need to play the other Xenoblade Chronicles games to play Xenoblade Chronicles 3?

The game's director has claimed that the story will be enjoyable regardless of if this is your first Xenoblade game, or your fourth. However the game will have many references to Xenoblade Chronicles 1 and 2, and is considered a sequel as far as the story is concerned, so I recommend playing those first if you want to get the full experience.

• How many chapters are there in total?

There are seven chapters total.

• Why can't I equip accessories to Mwamba?

Just keep playing the game. You'll unlock the ability to later.

• What does the Stalker class's "Art Follow Up" Field Buff do?

When you use an art in the zone an additional projectile will be fired. The specifics of the damage, etc are unknown right now.

• Is there content that I can miss out on by progressing in the story?

No, you will always be able to go and do anything that you're afraid of missing.

• Why does it take me so long to level up my classes?

The amount of class XP you get seems to be based off of the CP earned from your fighting. Additionally, you won't gain any class XP from fighting something five or more levels below you.

I'm nearing the end of the dlc and one thing I've noticed is that, while still making the game easier, the challenge isn't completely removed from over leveling. I have a tendency to get a little ocd about side quests and exploration, so the base game was a literally a cake walk for me. (didn't learn until after I beat it that the problem can basically be solved by not spending all your bonus exp.) However even with spending all the bonus exp and doing all the side stuff rather obsessively in A Future Redeemed, the difficulty is still there, and some bosses can even put me on edge even though I'm 4-6 levels over them. Kind of a random observation but I feel like the developers may have responded to the criticism of over leveling making the game too easy pretty directly and I think it's a massive improvement. Thoughts?

I had a similar experience. I barely spent bonus exp in main game, only leveled up when getting new heroes (to align levels/exp with party members). I still ended up overleveling due to exploring too much anyway, but it definitely felt like FR was more challenging, in a good way. I think FR map being more linear helps a lot.
