Juniper is the latest addition
EveryXenoblade Chronicles 3party member revealhas been fantastic, and that includes this new one that showcases Juniper.
You can watch her slide in with “extreme” energy and use her beam bowin the below video:
ユズリハは、普段から森で暮らしているからか、とっても俊敏で木や細いロープの上もスイスイ動けるんですも！って危ないですも～！#ゼノブレイド3pic.twitter.com/2vF1VJ4wtt

And this US tweetgives us a bit more background on the character:
The bow-wielding Juniper is among the heroes who’ll lend you their aid in#XenobladeChronicles3. Hailing from Agnus, this agile forest dweller can stealthily eliminate foes and take advantage of an enemy’s blind spot to deliver a powerful blow!pic.twitter.com/VZ5sDeQc4k

The “forest archer” trope is a tried and true idea, but she really rounds out the cast so far, which has been predominantly melee-focused. An agile stealth-based character sounds like a fun way to mix up your party, and I think alongside ofZeon, I have two front-runners.
That “final party cut” dilemma is a huge part of JRPGs, and I haven’t even played one iota ofXenoblade Chronicles 3and I’m really feeling it. Thankfullyyou can have a huge party in this game.
There’s a lot of nuance to some of the systems in the third entry, and I can’t wait to get my hands on it and dig in. Hopefully the story will deliver, especially in terms of the pacing. It’s one of the biggest things aXenoblade Chroniclesgame can struggle with for a lot of people, and there’s potential to assuage that fear here.
