TheSixthAxis Hands On: A Long Walk With Xenoblade Chronicles

TSA writes: "I’ve always kept half an eye on Xenoblade Chronicles, even though I’m not the world’s biggest RPG fan (Japanese or otherwise). After seeing some glowing comments from both reviewers and game developers, I decided to take the plunge and see what all the fuss was about.

To kick this piece off properly I should probably stress that it isn’t a review. As Xenoblade Chronicles clocks in at between 60 and 100 hours long, depending on side quests taken, a review would probably take me a good couple of months at least (I’m currently about ten hours in). The whole purpose of my rambling is to inform you all why the game 100% deserves your money, and perhaps is even worth buying a Wii for."

XENOBLADE DESERVE YOUR MONEY

Nerdmaster5050d ago

I've been playing it, and it's great! It certainly exceeded my expectations.

I think that the only thing that bothers me is the sky high number of quests. I think that instead of making 10 quests that tell us to kill monsters in a certain area, there should be only a big one for each area, with greater rewards.

LoaMcLoa5050d ago

My only concern is that some objectives in the side-quests are way too hard to find.
In the main-quest, you get a pointer and a marking on the map showing you where to go.
But you hardly get any explaination where to find certain monsters or items in the side-quests :C

Overall, it's an amazing game! Feel really bad for NA

tiffac0085050d ago

Ninty, I want you to take my MONEY! Now bring it over d@mnit! D:

zerocrossing5050d ago

I hope they do release it in the US :/ the game is awesome, just what is Nintend thinking?

mike1up5050d ago

Nice.

Knew i shouldnt have read this article (i love in USA). Well, at least Japanese and Europeans can enjoy it.

GRRR!!! Damn this game sounds awesome!!!

my favorite series of all time now, Xc3 was top tier

Zeldafan64267d ago

I've got about 1500 hours into all 4 Xenoblade games. It's now tied with Zelda as my favorite series. We need a Xenoblade Warriors game.

Best JRPG series of the last 5 years imo

repsahj640d ago

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

autobotdan640d ago (Edited 640d ago )

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

raWfodog640d ago (Edited 640d ago )

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.

autobotdan640d ago

You are hereby excommunicated the church of Xenoblade Chronocology

CappyBlack640d ago

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

repsahj640d ago

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

phoenixwing640d ago

Also they might port over xenoblade x to the switch 2
