    Nintendo has now introduced the Nopon party members of Xenoblade Chronicles 3.

    This charming Nopon pair, Riku and Manana, is one of the special allies known as 'Heroes' that can be recruited to fight alongside you as a seventh member of your party in #XenobladeChronicles3. pic.twitter.com/P8plYkpkNb

    Just like the Nopons before them, Riku and Manana will be helping the main party members in battle. There is a difference though: they will only be in a supporting role. Both of them will be in the seventh party member slot as Heroes characters and work together as a pair. They cannot be separated and is treated as a single party member.

    リクはどのような状況でも表情を崩すことなく慌てもしない、どこか達観したところがあり、ノアたちへのアドバイスも適格ですも。武器の整備は、リクにおまかせしたいですも!#ゼノブレイド3 pic.twitter.com/6FduNpkYWN
