March 31, 2011: Nintendo Europe announces Xenoblade in the Old World (for the occasion, renamed Xenoblade Chronicles) by a teaser site. The game will be a multi-5 and with dual audio (you can choose the English dub or the Japanese). And to think that at E3 2009 the game was not impressed that much, the title was known as Monado: Beginning of the World, and the interest was still low, a little because he had not seen yet anything, a little because the doubts about an exit West were really so many. For the more informed, however, did not escape the name of Tetsuya Takahashi, a guru in the field of JRPG with masterpieces such as Xenogears and the Xenosaga trilogy. At this point, why not take advantage of the legendary reputation of this series? From January 2010 there was no talk of Monado, but of Xenoblade, awakening the interest of old fans...
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.
Nintendo of America sucks. Announce this game with a release date already! Also The Last Story.
