Xenoblade Chronicles X Review – GamersFTW

Gabs from GamersFTW writes: Xenoblade Chronicles X is an RPG that has players exploring the beautiful world of Mira, while helping the human race to survive on their new homeland. The story is slow to get going, but the game is packed full of side-quests, and missions, meaning players will always find something to do. Meanwhile, the combat has an impressive amount of customisation, with a choice of weapons, skills, and classes, that allows the player to create fighting style tactics to suit their preferred play style.

One of the only open-world games I've ever enjoyed. Maybe it is the more anime art style, which I like better than the usual brown or white landscapes.

stupidusername3077d ago

I love it so far, but I'm only 15 hours in. I have way too little time on my hands so I'm afraid I won't ever complete it. It's definitely worth the price tag.

c00lvilKid693077d ago

The second screen shot of the game looks very pretty. I don’t own a Wii U but it’s games like this that make me want to get one.

CaptainN3077d ago

This should be your reason to get one !!

With other games like Splatoon and Super Mario Maker as well as upcoming games like Starfox, Pokken Tournament, Fire Emblem X Shin Megami and Zelda, why wouldnt you get one?

SteamPowered3077d ago

Game and mechs look great, but the facial animations on the humans leave lots to be desired. Its like watching Chucky from Childs Play talking.

Rookie_Monster3077d ago (Edited 3077d ago )

This is the best jRPG I had played since...
The last Xenoblade on Wii. LoL

If anyone is thinking of getting the game, the LE is well worth it as it has a 100 page art book, a soundtrack preloaded on a usb thumb stick and a cool box cover. Here is my copy.

deafdani3076d ago

Yeah, I got the limited edition as well (originally bought the normal edition, but as soon as I saw the LE available, bought it, too). Lol.

The only thing I don't like is that the USB is a measly 1 GB in size... and the soundtrack it includes eats it all anyway. It's useless, for anything other than decorative purposes. XD

The art book is absolutely killer, though.

wonderfulmonkeyman3077d ago

Noctilum during Rising Energy Mist at night is on-par, if not surpassing, Satorl Marsh at night.

It's entrancing; like literally walking through starlight.

You've got to see it in motion to truly appreciate it.

Yea. I own it but don’t want to pull out the Wii U

Zeldafan64338d ago

I never unplugged my Wii U. Still play it almost daily but a definitive edition of X would be appreciated.

jznrpg338d ago (Edited 338d ago )

It’s one of the systems I have the least games for . Though there are some really good games on it. I have systems from Atari’s , Nintendo’s, Segas , TurboGrafx 16 , PS’s etc etc so I put a few in my game storage room. I do pull it out from time to time and I have a new one in a box but won’t open that .
But I’d really like to have a Chronicles X but not on Switch whatever the next console is preferably so they can add more quality to it .

Zeldafan64337d ago

Lucky, you didn't need to explain that.

Zeldafan64338d ago (Edited 338d ago )

Playing X at 1080/60 would be great so waiting for the Switch successor would be ideal but it wouldn't be smart to make it a launch game. It would suck waiting til 2025 to get X definitive edition but I think that's what will happen.

I know people say Wii U has no games but I've got over 100 games for it.

luckytrouble337d ago

I mean, when people say a system has "no games" they aren't saying the system literally had no games released on it. They're more commenting on the state of games that make the system worth owning. For many the Wii U never had a game that made the system worth owning, or if it did, it has a Switch port or successor at this point anyways so they were effectively proven correct to have never purchased a Wii U in the first place.

Yes, depending on the individual the Wii U remains worth owning for the handful of games still locked to it, but for many they'd rather just wait to see what else gets ported in the future at this point. There is exceptionally little you can only play on a Wii U these days though, especially with the eShop dead so anything that may have existed only on it is no longer of consequence to non-Wii U owners.

chaos999338d ago

They said it cost too much time to remap controls unfortunately

luckytrouble337d ago

In all fairness, that's probably a reason they're passing on a few of the still Wii U locked games. Starfox Zero, among the reasons you may not want to port it, would need its entire control scheme reworked from the ground up. Chronicles X may not be as extreme of a case (I don't know, I've never played or watched gameplay), but often unless a game is going to sell really well, it can be hard to convince a company to do more than the basic expected remaster work. Heck, a lot of people figure the only reason we got Galaxy 1 in the 3D All Stars collection for example is because they had already done the work for the Nvidia Shield port for China, which subsequently is likely the major reason they didn't include Galaxy 2. They simply did not want to remap the game controls. It may sound silly since it sounds so simple just by the words, but you have to figure more goes into it than you're probably thinking if it's that much of a sticking point.

DefaultComment338d ago

Yes, I agree. We definitely need to retake Xenoblade Chronicles X which btw it left us on a cliffhanger suggesting there wiull be a XCX2 .... and im up for it.

isarai338d ago (Edited 338d ago )

I put so many hours into X, just please ad a music volume setting was going crazy walking around base and hearing

"UH UH... YEAH!.. YEAH!...YEAHYEAHYEEEEAAAAH!..U H UH!"

FinalFantasyFanatic337d ago

I can't believe they haven't done it yet, it's the Xenoblade game I'm most excited for, I would buy it in a heart beat.

I wish The Last Story would make a comeback.I played it years before I got around to Xenoblade. Mainly because of the scalping going on because of Xeno's limited run. It took me a few tries to get into it but once I did I couldn't put it down. A Wii hidden gem for sure.

pietro1212775d ago

As much as I love Xenoblade, Last Story was the better game IMO. I wish Nintendo would remaster or simply port the game onto the Switch.

porkChop776d ago

Xenoblade went on to be a really successful franchise too.

pietro1212775d ago

I wish the Last Story get a Switch remaster or remake. That game deserves a second chance

If they're not important enough to be held on their own official storefront then they're not important enough to give your money to Nintendo.

Buy these, physically, used or simply emulate them.

This article comes off as nothing more than advertising games that Nintendo, themselves, don't care to offer you... buy now!

ocelot07817d ago

Wait hang on where all the outrage? I swear when Sony tried to do this with PS3 last year. There was outrage from all corners of the gaming universe.

Why does no one care Nintendo is doing it?

MadLad817d ago (Edited 817d ago )

There has been.
A lot of it.

Simply type in "3DS" in Google and tell me what you see.

ocelot07816d ago

Oh I have a fair few websites reporting on it. But where is the outcry on here? I remember their was 2-3 approved top voted articles when Sony announced they where closing the PS3 store. All slating them and not caring about customers.

I should of worded it better. Where is all the outrage on n4g?

MadLad816d ago (Edited 816d ago )

N4G is a fanboy site, mainly frequented by only Sony.
Microsoft is their direct competition, so you'll typically only see articles that are made to rile up those fanbases.

Nintendo does it's own thing, so they're rarely brought up, aside from their fans. The most you get is the same typical two or three posters claiming Nintendo is only for infants.

If you come to N4G for educated discourse and reasonable discussion, this isn't the place. Sad as it is.

pietro1212817d ago

It's lame that it is shutting down. Now I feel rushed buying all the rpgs I missed out on the system.

XxINFERNUSxX816d ago

You guys know that even archive.org has 3DS roms, and all other console roms. I'm downloading 846GB of 3DS roms and will add the best games to my soon to be soft modded New 3DS 😁. Might as well throw in DS and other emulators in there to. Guys this would be the best way to play and enjoy the 3DS. Just need to buy a bigger micro SD card and format it to FAT32, which you can if it's even 256GB or larger there are ways.

XxINFERNUSxX816d ago

This should help if you want to soft mod it excellent guide and up to the latest and probably last 3DS firmware update: https://www.youtube.com/wat...
