"The tragedy of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 isn’t that there is a good game buried within garbled code, peaking out at you, but never quite making direct eye contact. No, the tragedy is that an all-time great JRPG is buried in a good-enough game."
Xeno fans rejoice! The six-part saga has finally been told!
Xenogears was originally supposed to be a six part series, but Squaresoft cut the budget for the first game and canceled future plans. Xenosaga, published by Bandai Namco, was its spritual successor, and it too was supposed to be a six part series but was cut to a trilogy after subpar sales for Xenosaga 2.
Future Redeemed is by far the best DLC of the Xenoblade series, achieving its lofty goals of introducing new characters, reconnecting with older ones, and closing a narrative that Monolith Soft’s main man Tetsuya Takahashi has been trying to tell since 1998.
DualShockers Writes "Xenoblade Chronicles 2 features a wide range of characters. Amid the cast of Rex, his allies, and even his enemies, you'll find many interesting personalities throughout your playthrough. However, among all these endearing heroes and villains, few come close to being as interesting or compelling as Poppi."

Yep, bought it and couldn't get into it. I'm an rpg fan too. The first hour was enough to let me know it wasn't for me. The dub work was absolutely awful and cringey. I didn't get far in the gameplay but even that I wasn't feeling.. I didn't play any of the past chronicles games as I didn't own a wii or wii u for long. Maybe it's a good game but usually I'm pretty open to rpgs but this was hard to want to play.
The game is a brilliant RPG,
I give it a 10. I cannot get enough of it.
