A momentary lapse of cynicism from Clint as he praises Xenoblade Chronicles, then promptly returns to his normal state of mind when reminded of another stellar game still imprisoned in the East:
In an unwarranted professional first and a shining testament to my own pivotal personal growth I'd like to start this week's article on an optimistically positive note. I'm also attempting to set a peerless record for the most excessive amount of p words used in a single paragraph so hopefully this will polish off two predatory aves with a single stone projectile. These feelings of jubilation and joy are undiscovered territory for me so I hope you'll bear with me if I descend into the realm of the euphoric maudlin. First and foremost, a hearty and heartfelt display of sincere gratitude must be extended toward Operation Rainfall for their tireless campaign to demand localization of three amazing current console generation games that may have never seen the light in our cruel, uncaring hemisphere. They've still got one game to go but playing a key role in convincing various companies to take the plunge on two of these critically lauded risky ventures is an impressive feat.

Xenoblade Chronicles composer Kenji Hiramatsu reflects on his work and feels that it's "time for a fresh start."
There is no together at the top. There is only one top jrpg series. Xenoblade Chronicles series is alone at the top
I like the Xenoblades series but my ‘top’ series would be either the Trails series or Persona series. Just too many good games for me to just pick one series though, so I say play them all lol.
I'm not huge into JRPGs, but my favorite is easily the Persona series. It's all opinion though. Xenoblade is a great series.
Tetsuya Takahashi has revealed his plan to make the next Xenoblade vastly different from previous games.
I liked the Xenoblade X formula. It takes awhile, but opening up Mechs was amazing. Especially once you can fly them, and use them in battle. You have to put some time into the game to do it, but it's worth it!
Also, the graphics were more realistic than the other games. Still looks good today, just a lot more pop-in than is acceptable today, hell even too much for back then. It wasn't game breaking though.
Xenoblade 1-3 and X are so great. That said, I'm ready for them to do a big change up.
