Xenoblade Chronicles 2 seems to start out as a rather typical JRPG, but its story and scope eventually grows into something far greater. It offers much for players to do and collect as they explore the living world of Alrest.
NE: "Today, we're taking on the difficult task of ranking every single game in the Xenoblade Chronicles series from best to least best."
For me, Xenoblade 2 and 3 and Final Fantasy 7 remake and rebirth are the best JRPGs or RPGs in general ever made. Yes, they even surpassed Expedition 33 in my honest opinion. Before, the Tales series was among my favorites, but I was very disappointed with their last game, Tales of Arise. Its world has become linear and not as expansive as their previous games. Fortunately, its battle gameplay is still very good. I hope that in the next Tales game, they will expand the game even more.
Hoping for a new Xenoblade game from Monolith Soft in this year's Nintendo General Direct. And it should be a Switch 2 exclusive.
Yeah, Xenoblade 2 and 3 are amazing. I would have put Xenoblade 2 in first and 3 in second if I was ranking them.
The "worst" Xenoblade game is still better than 95% of games out there. Xenoblade 2 is my favorite rpg ever. All the Xenoblade games have incredible characters, soundtracks, voice acting, stories, world design and combat (save for Xenoblade 1 whose combat, while good, is not incredible).
NE: "We look at each Xenoblade Chronicles game's performance on Nintendo Switch and how each one would be impacted by a Switch 2 Edition or patch."
What makes it even sadder is that if you jailbreak your Switch 1, it actually runs those games better than the Switch 2. Since you can, on the fly, change the rendering resolution and overclock the device to handle it.
I’m currently playing Xenoblade X like that and it’s great, no FPS drops, and even in handheld mode, the game looks very clear. Though, I have to say, I’m still a bit divided on whether I like or dislike the changes they made from the Wii U version. On one hand, everything looks cleaner and the models feel more alive, but on the other hand, it looks less unique.
Saying X looks less unique is not something I ever expected to read. I think the character models look quite a bit better in the Switch version (not that I thought they looked bad in the Wii U version). The world and monster design are some of the best I've ever seen in video games though I'll still give a slight edge to Xenoblade 2's world design. Leftherian Archipelago is my favorite location in any video game from a visual standpoint followed closely by endgame of Xenoblade 1.
If you think the Switch version models look unique, I have dozens of anime titles to sell to you.
I was talking about the world and monster design being unique, not the character models. Guess I should have made that clearer.
Monolith Soft may be hinting at a remaster of its action role-playing game, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, for the Nintendo Switch 2.
They should update these games for the switch 2 hardware, might as well as we wait for the next new xenoblade game.
2 is my favorite in the series even though it's the one I have the most issues with.
So outside of a side by side comparison you would never notice a difference between the original title and the remaster?
It’s depressing how many people want to keep buying the SAME GAME on a new platform.
I’m still waiting on my preordered copy, thanks to a delay from UPS!
Though I did use that extra wait time to finish up Persona.
I am loving it so far, but I highly recommend downloading the jap dub at the store because the English voice acting is terrible.
I really want to like Xenoblade, but I just couldn't get into the first one.
Nice will buy soon
I am playing this game so much. I love it! It is one of the best games of the year. Buy it!
