Xenoblade Chronicles X

Re: Xenoblade Chronicles X

That Box art is sweet.

Anyway to play the first xenoblade? Also is it a requirement to play it before you play this one?

Wii U or Wii, but since it was a Gamestop exclusive, you will have to pay a premium. It's also coming to the n3DS in April.

Not required since X isn't a sequel in terms of story, but it's definitely worth playing.

Re: Xenoblade Chronicles X

If it is as good as the 1st one, I may have to look into purchasing a Wii U.

Xenoblade Chronicals was far and away the best JRPG of the last generation. If you're into that sort of thing, or even RPGs in general, I recommend it.

Game Informer Preview

Monolith Soft proved it could create a compelling world and innovate in the genre, thanks to its creative design and MMO-style combat.

Its successor, Xenoblade Chronicles X, doesn't just switch it up to an extensive sci-fi setting; it expands the scope of everything, building upon the solid foundation set by its predecessor. I recently spent five hours with the game, and I feel like I've barely scratched the surface. If you thought Xenoblade Chronicles was big, you will be surprised just how much Xenoblade Chronicles X dwarfs it - and that's not even mentioning the extensive customization or Skells (mechs) that further enhance the experience.

Xenoblade Chronicles X also has plenty of late-game content to make your Skell worthwhile. It features numerous post-game monsters, like a level 99 baddie soaring in the sky, and online play makes it possible to take down deadly foes with friends. In addition, hidden dungeons, higher-level mechs, and powerful gear and weapons provide extra incentive to keep exploring. “One figure we’re hearing from people [in Japan] is that they’ve spent two to three times the amount of hours they spent on clearing the main story on end-game content,” says Monolith Soft executive director Tetsuya Takahashi.

Eurogamer: Xenoblade Chronicles X might yet have 2015's most impressive open world

In a year in which we've hardly been short of sensational open worlds, Takahashi's Monolith Soft has quietly come along and trumped them all in terms of scale, ambition and sheer spectacle on that most unfancied of consoles. For all the stealth excellence to be found in The Phantom Pain's Afghanistan and Africa, for all the intrigue held within The Witcher 3's Northern Kingdoms, there's really nothing that's a match for the sheer beauty to be found in Xenoblade Chronicle X's.

Like Xenoblade Chronicles before it, there's real a spirit of generosity in X; all that space means nothing without meaningful ways to fill it, and the systems that power this RPG are as rich and varied as the flora and fauna of Mira. Two dozen hours in and I still feel totally lost amongst them, so broad and deep do they run - there's Affinity to worry about as you temporarily recruit new members to your party, supplying the weapons companies with resources so they can keep the shops on New Los Angeles' Armoury Street stocked up or piecing together the parts of a particular piece of armour. It's bewildering, but it's threaded together with the same sense of discovery that runs throughout Xenoblade Chronicles X.

Xenoblade Chronicles X's laid-back pace won't be to the taste of many, and the way it gates its story missions behind unrelated, often abstract requirements could justifiably prove a source of frustration. I've sunk into its spell, though, and I've barely started: there are two more continents to fully discover, as well as an online side yet to fully flourish that's cast in the image of Monster Hunter as squads of four tackle unique quests. And I've only just begun decorating my own personal barracks, as you're able to do Animal Crossing-style, by painting its steel walls a shocking pink.

There's all that to come, though, among other surprises shimmering on the horizon. Right now, with its combination of exploration, sparky sci-fi fantasy and deep pool of systems, I feel like I'm caught somewhere in the beautiful crossroads between Final Fantasy 12 and Phantasy Star Online, and I really couldn't be any happier.

Enjoy it. It's honestly the best game I've played in a long, long time. The difficulty is no joke either. I'm on like the 4th "boss fight" type battle, and the game just asked me if I wanted to lower the difficulty for the fight because I've failed a few times.

Get the boss to around 15-25% each time, but I can't win the battle.

Re: Xenoblade Chronicles X

Most reviews seem to say the same thing and that there is no hand holding and old school "read the manual" is needed lol

I like that.

Re: Xenoblade Chronicles X

Yep. The world is absolutely bonkers, too. I also like that it's not just a gradient of enemies in increasing difficulty the further you go from town.

Killing something level 5 right next to the gates? Sometimes you gotta check what time it is, because a level 81+ monster can (and will) come right through and stomp you. It makes it feel like a legitimate world.

Re: Xenoblade Chronicles X

I want a Wii U solely for this game. Looks amazing.
