Monolith Soft’s Xenoblade Chronicles took its sweet time coming over to the U.S., but thanks to a less-than-ideal supply, the average gamer probably won’t want to pick it up at its current price.
Xenoblade Chronicles composer Kenji Hiramatsu reflects on his work and feels that it's "time for a fresh start."
There is no together at the top. There is only one top jrpg series. Xenoblade Chronicles series is alone at the top
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.
I'm not huge into JRPGs, but my favorite is easily the Persona series. It's all opinion though. Xenoblade is a great series.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I didn’t care for 2 as much . It’s good but 3 is sooo much better than so is the first one imo .
I really wanted to play this game, but at the time of it's release, my back log was just too long, and I had very little cash.
Now that my back log is cleared the game is selling for over $100. Looks like I'll never get the chance to play.
This is the crap that pisses me off! Why the hell would Xenoblade be a GameStop exclusive title, when it is in fact one of the most popular jrpg's on the Wii? How the hell do developers expect to make money on games they're not selling after their first initial stock? I seen that game maybe once used nearly 3-4 months ago and haven't seen it since. I guess Monolith Soft underestimated the demand for this game and are moving on to X instead. I think that they should still send out another wave of shipments since people are charging nearly double or more for a copy. Who's with me?
I was lucky enough to have the money at the time to pre-order Xenoblade when it was available. I feel real bad for the people that missed out on this game. Who knows, maybe Monolith Soft will do an HD remake for the Wii U if there is enough demand for it.
No doubt this game is great, I play it but seriously I can't justify paying $100 for a single Wii game no matter what it is.
I think I need to preorder that Pandora's Tower game.
