Nintendo recently revealed a set of Xenoblade Chronicles 3DS Faceplates for their new 3DS model. The faceplates, a dashing red design, are currently only available through the Nintendo store. At this moment in time, the plates can only be bought as a part of two bundles. The first bundle contains a new 3DS system, a copy of the game, and the previously mentioned plates. The second bundle consists of a copy of the game and the plates.
Alex S. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "I want to take yet another opportunity to talk about why I love Xenoblade so much. And this time, I’m focusing on the original protagonist. Here’s why I think Shulk is one of Nintendo’s best characters."
Half-Glass Gaming: "Production of the 3DS has been discontinued as of September of 2020, but there’s definitely an argument to be made for adopting the system in 2021, especially if you just really like playing awesome video games."
Xenoblade is Better Than Final Fantasy - While Final Fantasy has a storied history, Xenoblade, as a franchise, has surpased it in in quality over the years.
Xenoblade 1 and xenoblade 2 had better quality than ff13 and its sequels as well as ff15. Lol. Such rubbish. Xenoblade 2 especially is utter rubbish with bad graphics and performance issues

This profile submitted another article from the site with the headline Xenoblade is the best rpg series ever.
So yeah, biased fanboy trash.
Agreed. Probably the worst graphics I have ever seen and the 2nd game is a cringy fan service fest. Don't get me started on the combat and English voice acting.
Not the classics though. In this and the previous generation, yes unless ff7r is a great game.
They are two wildly different experiences. Those that say that Xenoblade is better are just fanboys who want to excessively praise something that is already great (in this case, Xenoblade).
Those that say that it is not even close are just haters that don't want to admit how good the Xenoblade games are. Probably because it is a Nintendo owned IP.
Fact is, classic FF and Xenoblade are both great RPGs, but play totally different. You will find some that like both, and others that prefer one over the other. To claim either excessive praise or pointless downplay is just foolish in both cases TBH.
The series started to chug for me when 13 came out, and 14 was a big disappointment to me. But even FF12 is still a great game and most of the previous games were stellar. FF might not be what it once was, but few series stack up against it, much less surpass it. I can't really say the Xenoblade is one of those.
Psht! So many RPGs are better than FF!
Even FFVII, which was a good game, isn't better than many other RPGs
I've played them all. As for the recent ones, Xenoblade Chronicles has an impressive world, story, and characters, but some of the worst side quests. Wasn't fond of the battle engine. XC2 was just bad imo. X was pretty good, but not as good as the original. The original could be described as better than some of the worst FF games, but the series as a whole? Not a chance.
Of course, opinions are opinions.
Xenoblade 2 is not even on the same level of FF 12. LOL nice try tho.

Oh... and JRPGs are overrated and most often are cliched and seriously suck!
Bit of a bummer, was hoping they'd sell the face plates separate :/ and I'm not buying another system for them!
I opted out. These were available yesterday when I was looking - part of the bundle, but I decided no. 3 reasons. I own Xenoblade for the Wii, still. I didn't like it was included ONLY as part of the bundle. Finally, I'm opting out of this trend which seems to exclude the real gamers, buy low sell high - for reasons of vanity. Like the Amiibo craze, yes, I 'want' certain Rare Amiibo, but I will NOT be part of this racket. Time games were placed back in the hands of the real gamers, that is those who will actually use and play with them, not just hoard them like some Gollum.
