Shulk followed Dickson out of the lab. They walked together to the Central Plaza, which had three bridges leading to each of the three districts.
“You’ve been making excellent progress on your Monado research, Shulk. I’m impressed,” Dickson told the teen.
Shulk felt a streak of pride. “Thanks, Dickson. Have you had a chance to catch up with Dunban yet?”
Dickson nodded. “He still insists on keeping that picture of us with Mumkhar, just before we took off to fight.” He snorted, and then sighed. “Too bad his arm isn’t getting any better. That damage looks permanent.”
This worried Shulk. “I hope not. I mean, Dunban’s the only one who can wield the Monado. If we ever get attacked by the Mechon again…”
Dickson glanced at him. Do you think so, Shulk? “Would you have him use that blasted sword again after what it’s done to him?”
Shulk flinched. “I – of course not.”
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.
