Xenoblade Novelisation: Tephra Cave

“It’s a caterpile nest,” Reyn whispered. Shulk edged off to the left; there was a gap in the wall there. “The little ones are all right, but the big one will attack us as soon as we get anywhere near it.” Fiora followed Shulk and Reyn through the gap in the wall. The path took a slight uphill slant.

“This path will take us above the caterpile,” Shulk informed Fiora. “It can’t attack us up here.” They found themselves on the rock overhanging the nest. It followed through to the opposite wall and curved out of sight.

Reyn kicked a rock off their bridge, which bounced off the wall and hit the caterpile’s tail. The creature reared up and started wiggling towards them, the other, smaller caterpiles following suit.

“Reyn, what have you done!!” Fiora shouted, panicked.

Best JRPG series of the last 5 years imo

repsahj215d ago

I agree 100%. My top JRPG so far, together with Baldurs Gate 3 and FF16.

autobotdan215d ago (Edited 215d ago )

There is no together at the top. There is only one top jrpg series. Xenoblade Chronicles series is alone at the top

I like the Xenoblades series but my ‘top’ series would be either the Trails series or Persona series. Just too many good games for me to just pick one series though, so I say play them all lol.

You are hereby excommunicated the church of Xenoblade Chronocology

I'm not huge into JRPGs, but my favorite is easily the Persona series. It's all opinion though. Xenoblade is a great series.

XC4 for Switch 2 for the win!! So excited!

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.

gleepot214d ago

Xenoblade 1-3 and X are so great. That said, I'm ready for them to do a big change up.

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.

Rebel_Scum579d ago

As someone who doesnt like jrpg’s that much these days I went into Xenoblade Chronicles blind and had a blast. Reminded me of that golden age of 16-bit and 32-bit jrpgs. If thats the era you liked then it should hit the spot.

jznrpg579d ago

I only have a Switch for the games that don’t come on PlayStation . There aren’t a ton but there are some good ones.

repsahj579d ago (Edited 579d ago )

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.

jznrpg579d ago

I didn’t care for 2 as much . It’s good but 3 is sooo much better than so is the first one imo .

repsahj579d ago

yeah I agree, but much better than any recent jrpg releases.
