It deserves much of the praise it receives and it's an easy game to recommend to Wii-owning JRPG fans. Xenoblade Chronicles is a good game, but there are some big flaws (mostly as a result of the hardware) that are simply passed over in most of the reviews.
Xenoblade Chronicles composer Kenji Hiramatsu reflects on his work and feels that it's "time for a fresh start."
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.
Some of the best Switch JRPG games out there include the epic Xenoblade Chronicles to the hard-as-nails Dark Souls Remastered.
Me being a Playstation guy and a huge JRPG fan, I can say that the only franchises I actually miss that are on Switch are The Fire Emblem series and The Xenoblade Chronicles series. I've played neither but I've heard good things. I've seen people play Xenoblade Chronicles games on youtube, and it seems like they think it's a big deal so I'm curious.
I agree with top 1, for me xenoblade chronicles 3(and 2) is one of the greatest jrpg to date. It's like the feeling of playing ff7 on ps1 for the first time again. Imagine if XC3 was done with ps5 graphics, that will be magical. I might get the xc remaster before the year ends or after I got the platinum trophy of GoW ragnarok.
"So, while I realise (sic) this review sounds overly critical, I felt the overwhelming positivity the game has been receiving deserves some balance."
So... a negative review for the sake of a negative review. Want some jam for your peanut butthurt sandwich?
Lol. Oh well, I still want it none the less. Damn you, NOA.
@MattS No need to take me seriously. Lol.
I hate that there's a website out there called Otaku Gaming and Otaku Gambit. Makes for some confusion.
Yeah and the reviewer can go **** himself for not understand games and art, especially when he TRIES to review games.
Attacking other reviews of the game in a review is not very professional.
The game is amazing. Nuff said.
When a reviewer takes so much of his time talking about other reviews in a review of a game HE is reviewing, well, he's doing it wrong.
