Review: Xenoblade Chronicles [SideQuesting]

Pat Wainwright of SideQuesting.com writes: "After playing Xenoblade for a seemingly immeasurable number of hours, we can think of only one word to describe this game: Vast. Xenoblade may be the longest game for the Wii yet and it rivals the lengths of many 360 and PS3 epics. The game is packed full of content and it is extremely easy to spend days putting off the main quest in favor of side ventures."

Xenoblade Chronicles just became THE longest game I ever played at about 104 hours logged in. There were times I thought the game hard and the co-op AI was suspect (this one was true) only to find out that I needed to do more levelling up. The bosses and enemies are ridiculously easy if you're at minimum 3 levels higher than them. Even the final boss.

Best JRPG series of the last 5 years imo

repsahj226d ago

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

autobotdan226d ago (Edited 226d ago )

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

raWfodog226d ago (Edited 226d 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.

You are hereby excommunicated the church of Xenoblade Chronocology

CappyBlack226d 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.

repsahj226d ago

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

phoenixwing226d ago

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.

gleepot226d 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_Scum591d 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.

jznrpg591d 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.

repsahj591d ago (Edited 591d 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.

jznrpg591d 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 .

repsahj591d ago

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