Few games carry the hype that Xenoblade Chronicles had behind it. Sure, we might say that we’re excited for a game come out, but it is rare to see a fan based movement such as Operation Rainfall help localize a game that won critical and consumer hearts in Japan. But Xenoblade Chronicles is this type of game, and while it’s not perfect, it is a solid JRPG that was more than worth the wait and one of the best RPGs in recent memory.
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.
This review isnt very good
“This isn’t the JRPG you may know from twenty years ago. Heck, this isn’t even the JRPG you know from last year. Xenoblade Chronicles combines the narrative, aesthetics, depth, and charm of a JRPG with the modern features we’ve seen from Western RPGs and MMOs, ”
This is just sensationalism filabustering………….hack, draogn quest IX, ff 12 are all very similar. Yet we cant mention them
There is nothing western rpg about it. MMO, yes but thats a multi region thing
