"But for those of us that have been there and done that with the first XC, the experience isn’t so fresh. To borrow a phrase from a friend, “XC2 is chasing a ghost.” That ghost is the experience of the first Xenoblade Chronicles, with its mystifying setting on the back of gods and theological currents of thought underlying every plot twist. The shonen storyline is here again. The grassy plains, the snowy tundra, the massive lakes – these are all here, too.
XCX didn’t chase that ghost. It accepted itself for what it was: a post-Earth space opera in which the survival of humankind was the only thing that mattered. Because of this, I accepted it more easily, too."
A Xenoblade Chronicles PC port has been listed by Microsoft as an officially supported Microsoft Game Assist title.
Hmmm interesting. Hopefully true, liking the slowly but surely partnership between the big 3. Just imagine all the xenoblade games officially on pc. I think mcsft going 3rd party but still making consoles fits them.
NE: "We go over a big list of changes and adjustments we'd like to see in a hypothetical Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Definitive Edition."
The ill-fated Wii U sold very few units, so it is understandable if you missed out on Xenoblade Chronicles X, here are 9 reasons why you should play the Definitive Edition.
I bought it thinking it was like the trilogy and expansion on Switch. I played it for 15 or so hours and stopped. Couldn't get into it, the gameplay was not like the previous ones, it was not what I expected.😕
Greatest RPG ever except end game makes it impossible to complete for anyone who focused on mech battles. Do not focus on mechs or you will be disappointed
Well of course something titled Xenoblade Chronicles 2 would closer try to closer emulate Xenoblade Chronicles than Xenoblade Chronicles X.
I’m just surprised at how the critical reception was received for both games.
While Xenoblade Chronicles was hailed as one of the best RPGs of its time, both Xenoblade Chronicles X and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 while also well received weren’t able to critically exceed the original game.
Loving XC2 so far! All three are just too drawer JRPG's and reason alone to buy the console they're on.
I’ve never played a Xenoblade game before, and I’m loving Chronicles 2. Technical issues aside(which is probably why it was able to release so quickly)it is an engrossing game. I love the characters, story, and the world. So glad I took a chance on it.
If you played the first game, you want to finish this game. I loved XCX as well but if you liked the first you need to finish this game and I can't say why without spoiler tags.
