While Europe is the lucky ones this time in managing to get Xenoblade Chronicles for the Nintendo Wii rather than North America, an issue plauged the release as a lot of users are reporting of the dreaded Disc Read Error.
Xenoblade Chronicles series composer Manami Kiyota has possibly finished the final orchestra recording for the next Monolith Soft title.
Makes sense. It's been nearly 3 years since the DLC for 3 came out. The next Xenoblade or whatever they end up calling it will probably come out next year.
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.
why go thru all the trouble trying to softMOD your wii when all Nintendo have to do it put Xenoblade Chronicles on TWO DVD's
Yea it's their mistakes too on their part since the the first generation of Wii are having problems reading dual layered. Maybe its one of the reasons why Nintendo of America didnt release it here.
Here's hoping that the reason Nintendo of America hasn't brought Xenoblade here yet is that they're trying to work out this kink.
they could release 2 Discs - one Japan language, other english dub in one package... if there's enough space
"installing the game’s data to an external USB hard drive." Really? I clicked there to read that? Well, I guess I got some poor grammar and spelling too, so it's not a total loss.
