"If you don't want to do every side quest, don't"

This is a good tip, Sidequests in this game are just that. Pick and choose the ones you want to do and as soon as you have a shred of boredom, move on with the game. They don't count for **** really besides some kinda exploration Fun and Boss battle fun.

The battle system is fun in this game too Btw.

Is it weird that I'm digging everything but the battle system? I'm 18 hours in and maybe I just need to play more.

Instigator4809d ago

The side quests can be repetitive, but what's great is that you can do most of them without even trying. When I reached a new area I spent 5-10 hours exploring and battling, picking up collectibles and materials, so when I met an NPC with a side quest I could just sit back and watch my characters level up. It's a great feeling.

There are some epic ones though. Like when you're asked to defeat Demon King Dragonia or the Battling Brutes side quest. I learned the value of Daze Resist and Poison Resist from that one.

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

Zeldafan64259d 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

repsahj632d ago

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

autobotdan632d ago (Edited 632d ago )

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

raWfodog632d ago (Edited 632d 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.

autobotdan632d ago

You are hereby excommunicated the church of Xenoblade Chronocology

CappyBlack632d 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.

repsahj632d ago

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

phoenixwing632d ago

Also they might port over xenoblade x to the switch 2
