GamesBeat: Xenoblade Chronicles 3D: One of the best Wii RPGs is better portable (review)

One of the best Japanese role-playing games of the last five years still reigns, and now that’s on a portable, it’s much more accessible. If you’re open to exploration, it probably has 80 hours of gameplay. For a game that long, being able to play anywhere and at any time is nice. For a game this great, it’s a privilege.

Missed this on Wii and it's way too expensive to buy it for that old thing. So going to try it on the New 3DS!

Can't wait to play this on the New 3DS XL.

Get to play this & the new Xenoblade for the first both in the same year ? Pretty cool.

JeffGrubb3318d ago

I just got a New 3DS XL. Guess I should get this, too.

One of the finest JRPG's in recent memory, if not thee best. Personally, I'd still recommended playing it on Wii - given the option. The scale slightly better appreciated on a big screen TV.

Neonridr3317d ago

given the ridiculous prices people charge online for this game though, I think I will pay a more reasonable fee and have the option for portability.

higgins783317d ago

Agreed. I like any effort such as this to take games out of the hands of the scalpers, the gollums, and back into the hands of the gamers. Metroid Trilogy just being another great example.

cant wait for it.. I loved this game but the lack of Japanese voicework is a bummer

The Nintendo 3DS Is Still Totally Worth It Ten Years Later

Half-Glass Gaming: "Production of the 3DS has been discontinued as of September of 2020, but there’s definitely an argument to be made for adopting the system in 2021, especially if you just really like playing awesome video games."

Xenoblade 1 and xenoblade 2 had better quality than ff13 and its sequels as well as ff15. Lol. Such rubbish. Xenoblade 2 especially is utter rubbish with bad graphics and performance issues

Xenoblade 2 is a great game.

iDadio1629d ago

This profile submitted another article from the site with the headline Xenoblade is the best rpg series ever.

So yeah, biased fanboy trash.

LMosche1629d ago

Agreed. Probably the worst graphics I have ever seen and the 2nd game is a cringy fan service fest. Don't get me started on the combat and English voice acting.

Not the classics though. In this and the previous generation, yes unless ff7r is a great game.

Shiken1629d ago

They are two wildly different experiences. Those that say that Xenoblade is better are just fanboys who want to excessively praise something that is already great (in this case, Xenoblade).

Those that say that it is not even close are just haters that don't want to admit how good the Xenoblade games are. Probably because it is a Nintendo owned IP.

Fact is, classic FF and Xenoblade are both great RPGs, but play totally different. You will find some that like both, and others that prefer one over the other. To claim either excessive praise or pointless downplay is just foolish in both cases TBH.

RememberThe3571629d ago

The series started to chug for me when 13 came out, and 14 was a big disappointment to me. But even FF12 is still a great game and most of the previous games were stellar. FF might not be what it once was, but few series stack up against it, much less surpass it. I can't really say the Xenoblade is one of those.

ChrisW1629d ago

Psht! So many RPGs are better than FF!

Even FFVII, which was a good game, isn't better than many other RPGs

Zeldafan641629d ago

I'm guessing you haven't played any of the Xenoblade games.

kythlyn1629d ago

I've played them all. As for the recent ones, Xenoblade Chronicles has an impressive world, story, and characters, but some of the worst side quests. Wasn't fond of the battle engine. XC2 was just bad imo. X was pretty good, but not as good as the original. The original could be described as better than some of the worst FF games, but the series as a whole? Not a chance.

Of course, opinions are opinions.

AsunaYuukiTheFlash1629d ago (Edited 1629d ago )

Xenoblade 2 is not even on the same level of FF 12. LOL nice try tho.

The FF IP needs to be concluded and a new IP needs to replace it.
Oh... and JRPGs are overrated and most often are cliched and seriously suck!

DEKUX121629d ago

Lol yeah ok 12 plays it self
