Following much ado and a couple of highly organized underground movements, it was finally announced that The Last Story and Xenoblade Chronicles would be seeing a stateside release in 2012. But with the 3DS finally picking up steam in the software department and a whole new home console heading our way by the end of the year, it's an expensive time to be a gaming enthusiast.
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.
Xenoblade's coming out next week and The Last Story's coming out in June (NA). More than enough time to make money for TLS if you only have enough money for Xenoblade.
It's kinda hard to choose, especially if you haven't played them. Both developers are also good at what they do.
you have to buy both and support devs, so Ninty would release more Japan content to Eu/Na ...oh man, I love Japan games!!! :)
Its a shame these games were not released for HD consoles they would have sold even more.
Both!
If financially possible~
