Daniele M. of iNintendo.net writes, "Let me just go ahead and say this: Xenoblade Chronicles is the most intuitive JRPG this generation. When you think JRPG thoughts immediately shift to Square Enix and their beloved Final Fantasy franchise. Putting aside the disappointing Final Fantasy XIII, and let's not even go there with XIV, Xenoblade Chronicles truly is a creation unlike any other. Square Enix is considered the king of Japanese role playing games; I beg to differ, going by most recent entireties. Xenoblade Chronicles is developed by the ever so talented Monolith Soft, a first party in-house development studio whom has previously worked on such titles as Baten Kaitos for the Gamecube and also Disaster: Day of Crysis on the Wii platform. Monolith hasn't always been a part of Nintendo, in fact much earlier on Namco Bandai were in control."
In a new financial presentation, Nintendo highlights Xenoblade Chronicles as one of several series seeing "dramatic sales growth on Nintendo Switch," joining Kirby, Pikmin, and Metroid. Compared to 1.41 million copies on 3DS and Wii U, Xenoblade Chronicles has collectively sold 7.17 million copies on Switch between Xenoblade Chronicles 2, 3, and Definitive Edition.
I have bought every game no matter the system. Hopefully the Switch 2 is powerful enough to give this world the detail it deserves
Nintendo has now published a special anniversary video celebrating 25 years of Monolith Soft. The developer has also opened a special 25th anniversary webpage featuring multiple commemorative wallpapers as well as a special message from Representative Director Hirohide Sugiura.
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.
Xenoblade Chronicles composer Kenji Hiramatsu reflects on his work and feels that it's "time for a fresh start."
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.
I'm not huge into JRPGs, but my favorite is easily the Persona series. It's all opinion though. Xenoblade is a great series.
It makes no sense to me why the f*cking retards at Nintendo of America aren't letting this masterpiece come stateside. I hate you Reggie,,,,so f*cking much...
best game i played since secret of mana and ffVII as well as zelda 3
the crazy thing about this game is that i tkeeps on getting better...while u play it you cant wait to play through it again...cmon when was the last time you felt that?
