Vooks writes: September 1st (for Australia). That’s the big day. The day you will finally get to hold the glorious Monado blade in your own two hands. Or, you know, control it from Shulk’s hands. September 1st. So close, yet so far away.
The Monado is of course the powerful energy blade featured in the game. It grants special abilities to whoever wields it, such as the ability to see visions of the future. In fact, the game was originally titled Monado: Beginning of the World, which emphasises its overall importance within your adventure. And what an adventure it is!
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.
