Review: Xenoblade Chronicles [SideQuesting]

Pat Wainwright of SideQuesting.com writes: "After playing Xenoblade for a seemingly immeasurable number of hours, we can think of only one word to describe this game: Vast. Xenoblade may be the longest game for the Wii yet and it rivals the lengths of many 360 and PS3 epics. The game is packed full of content and it is extremely easy to spend days putting off the main quest in favor of side ventures."

Xenoblade Chronicles just became THE longest game I ever played at about 104 hours logged in. There were times I thought the game hard and the co-op AI was suspect (this one was true) only to find out that I needed to do more levelling up. The bosses and enemies are ridiculously easy if you're at minimum 3 levels higher than them. Even the final boss.

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.

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.

Zeldafan64120d ago (Edited 120d ago )

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).

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.

Zeldafan64191d ago (Edited 191d ago )

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.

Vits190d ago

If you think the Switch version models look unique, I have dozens of anime titles to sell to you.

Zeldafan64188d ago

I was talking about the world and monster design being unique, not the character models. Guess I should have made that clearer.
