Xenoblade Chronicles Review - Game Reactor Spain

Is the best JRPG of the generation? If we abstract visual woes, no doubt.

Xenoblade Chronicles comes with a firestorm of controversy, it will not be released on American soil, only in Europe almost a year after its release in Japan. But what is it so special Xenoblade Chronicles ?

I wonder what made them change their mind? "Monado" was planned to come here...

mike1up4661d ago

No clue. My only guess is that they thought it wouldnt sell. Which is wrong, because it would have (i wouldve bought this and Last Story).

I do have a feeling that we will see a sequel on the WiiU.

mshope104661d ago

i just don't get why they can't just give us the u.k. or australia version and put it on a u.s. disc so it reads on are wii's?it drive's me crazy that wii's 2 best exclusive rpgs won't be coming here.thats just a dumb decision if you ask me.

Best JRPG series of the last 5 years imo

repsahj232d ago

I agree 100%. My top JRPG so far, together with Baldurs Gate 3 and FF16.

autobotdan232d ago (Edited 232d ago )

There is no together at the top. There is only one top jrpg series. Xenoblade Chronicles series is alone at the top

raWfodog232d ago (Edited 232d ago )

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.

CappyBlack232d ago

I'm not huge into JRPGs, but my favorite is easily the Persona series. It's all opinion though. Xenoblade is a great series.

repsahj232d ago

XC4 for Switch 2 for the win!! So excited!

phoenixwing232d ago

Also they might port over xenoblade x to the switch 2

Tetsuya Takahashi Wants The Next Xenoblade To Be Vastly Different From Previous Games

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.

gleepot232d ago

Xenoblade 1-3 and X are so great. That said, I'm ready for them to do a big change up.

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.

Rebel_Scum597d ago

As someone who doesnt like jrpg’s that much these days I went into Xenoblade Chronicles blind and had a blast. Reminded me of that golden age of 16-bit and 32-bit jrpgs. If thats the era you liked then it should hit the spot.

jznrpg597d ago

I only have a Switch for the games that don’t come on PlayStation . There aren’t a ton but there are some good ones.

repsahj597d ago (Edited 597d ago )

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.

jznrpg597d ago

I didn’t care for 2 as much . It’s good but 3 is sooo much better than so is the first one imo .

repsahj597d ago

yeah I agree, but much better than any recent jrpg releases.
