Feels state of the art in it's overall world design while still maintaining that feel from the classic RPG:s. A smash hit just like the previous games in the series. Think this is a game really every Switch owner should pickup.… Expand

   The story, characters, setting, and music are simply spectacular. The gameplay is fun and engaging, but you need to take the time to learn the mechanics before you can really start doing damage. I feel like most of the negativity around it comes from people who didn't invest enough time to fully understand the great depth Xenoblade has to offer.… Expand

   Découverte totale, un J-RPG classique avec un gameplay et une histoire simple. Mais la fin, le final, quelle émotion bordel !
   
   Un universDécouverte totale, un J-RPG classique avec un gameplay et une histoire simple. Mais la fin, le final, quelle émotion bordel !
   
   Un univers riche, de grande zone riche en vie avec une exploration présente et récompensée. Le système de combat riche en possibilités avec toutes les associations de lame, d'éléments et des possibilités qu'offre le jeu. Des personnages riches et attachant qu'on découvre progressivement tout au long de l'histoire, d'où le final grandiose. Et une bande-son exceptionnelle. La difficulté est bien dosée tout au long du jeu avec parfois quelque pic intéressant.
   
   Les seuls défauts qui m'ont vraiment gêné, c'est la technique très faiblarde lors des chargements, notamment après des TP ou dans certaine phase d'action même en cinématique avec l'aliasing et du flou sévère. Les quêtes annexes sont aussi pas toute très intéressantes et nécessite parfois de se téléporter de multiples fois à droite à gauche. Elle représente également une grande partie du jeu, y en vraiment beaucoup, c'est bien si elle en valait tout le coup. Les animations sont ultra basiques et robotique et parfois des soucis de le doublage parfois mal joués pour les voix en anglais.
   
   Dans tous les cas, si les J-RPG ne vous fait pas peur, c'est un jeu à faire et que je recommande fortement.… Expand

   You can't go and compare this game to x, but seeing as it's been named a sequel to the original title, there's bound to be some comparing.You can't go and compare this game to x, but seeing as it's been named a sequel to the original title, there's bound to be some comparing.
   
   You will definitely find a lot more challenge in this game than you will in the original. The enemies are less merciful and even sometimes aim directly at showing you your place. If you think you're just going to speed through this game, you'd better think again. That level number matters and so does your equipment. Though, that can be said for both this and the original Xenoblade.
   
   The combat is made infinitely more complex by the ability to cancel certain arts and cancel all auto attacks. There is also the ability to quickly charge some Blade Arts by simply abusing that cancel of auto attack. You coulld call this a glich, if you wanted, but with how the animation runs at times, I highly doubt they didn't know it was there. Sometimes, I'm also left to wonder how my CPU Team can still charge faster than I can, reaching tier three special far faster than should be possible otherwise.
   
   Onto the skills themselves, your positioning once again feels extremely important for most skills. Some of it is also watching and making sure your team can follow-up to your set ups, which is telegraphed better than it ever was in the original Xenoblade, due to the fact that these skills have a tendency to be one blade and not any other, unless you want that. That's not to say that the AI is flawless, as sometimes it can go off and do something else entirely that what you planned for, but that's with everything that has them.
   
   As for the element that's more or less absent entirely... there is no proper Armor System like there has been for the original and X. I don't understand this decision, but it's not a deal breaker for me.
   
   I can't lie. I don't much care for Rex or Pyra's... well... "eye-catching" attire... It's fan service, but it's not the kind you want. However, it couldn't and didn't ruin the game for me.
   
   Now for the Graphics, music, voice acting, etc.
   
   The artists knew exactly what sort of art style they were going for, even as the art style seems to be implemented by a mix of several artists. It's anime as heckle and that's what you should go in expecting. The special effects used express this fervently, as well as make some environments more complete than they ever could have been without. Honestly, I can't see why people have a problem with the fact that this is the feel of the game, being that Xenoblade has always been anime-esque, but to each their own.
   
   The music is INCREDIBLE. I can't praise it enough, nor get sick of it. I actually have several places in which I have left the system running merely to hear the music alone for an extended period of time. If there is any song at all that is "bad" in the entire ost, it's only because I favor others over it.
   
   ... Now for the ENGLISH voices. The guys over at Monolith knew how bad the English casting was. I say that because they put the infinitely more professional Japanese dub over as FREE Day One DLC.
   
   I went in hoping that the rumors were false, but I found myself HATING Rex's English actor simply for the fact that he can not scream worth a cent. I sort of want to know why he got the roll of Rex, but there are plenty of other english voices that don't match their bodies or ages. So, I believe I can denominate the fact that it was simply the wrong people handling VA casting....
   
   THANKFULLY, the Japanese Dub is better in nearly every way, making for a far more pleasing result. I say nearly, because you can't understand what they say in the after fight conversations unless you speak the language yourself and find yourself confused about the Japanese names used, for the most part. For example: Pyra is the red-hair heroine's English name, but Homura is her Japanese name.
   
   As for the story, all I WILL to say is this: Monolith Soft has done it again and I LOVE them for it. 9/10… Expand

   The world is huge to explore, many fearsome and even cute monsters to encounter and fight, a collection system that encourages grinding, and the best cast of characters I've come across with each one having a unique and loving soul.
   
   Except the main protagonist.
   Removing him and making any other cast the main character would have made this the #1 game for decades to come. Consider playing in japanese to get that damn yell out of your head, but at what cost? The cost of all the fantastic voice-actors of the english cast too. Nobody wins.… Expand
