    While a relative step down from Xenoblade Chronicles this is still a wonderful RPG, even if it could have used a little more time in the oven.

    I enjoyed my time a lot with xc2, it is a little bit tough to get into at first admittedly but once you push past that you get really into the story, characters and world. People always point to **** character design, but it’s fine imo. I beat it in like 2018, and I still come back to it every now and then even with de and torna out

    A really nice RPG game, good gameplay, hundred hours of game.

    - Graphics could be improved for switch support
    - Some very rare bugs

The games combat system may seem utterly simple at first, but it quickly grows very complex without you as a player even realizing it. It wasn't until about 60 hours in until I finally mastered the combat system (after quite a lot of googling) and by then the fights didn't have to last for ages (which they did up until that point). Up until that point it was really just the story that kept me going, but after that it "clicked".

    The only negative thing I have to say about the game is that the side quests are a drag. They're absolutely dead boring for the most time and more often than not simply not worth it.

    I think if they had fixed the side quests, and polished the game in some other aspects, it'd been an absolute masterpiece.    … Expand

    One of the best stories in gaming. Lovely characters, amazing artstyle... The combat system is quiet complicated but very rewarding once you get used to it. My only complain would be the english voice acting, aside from tora who has a perfectly fitting voice and an emotionally accurate performance.

    Brillante historia, Jugabilidad impresionante y Los personajes también son geniales. Pero tiene problemas de resolución y velocidad de fotogramas en la Switch aunque nada que lo haga injugable. También creo que el estilo artístico fue un Acierto muy importante. En general, una gran elección para los fanáticos del JRPG.

The game has a Pokemon Esque mechanic where you bond with these sentient weapons called Blades that you collect and then use in combat. At the start, it is so exhilarating to find out what new Blade you're going to get. Unfortunately, though, you begin to get a lot of repeats in the common rarity ones and this once cool and fresh mechanic becomes extremely repetitive. Also, there were some inappropriate things that one character did that I was not expecting. These moments were few and far between but when they happened, they were very jarring. I have no problem with games with mature themes, but this was different and came without a warning. These, however, are just personal preferences, and they don't necessarily mean the game is bad because I know there are plenty of people out there who are not bothered by this. In the end, this game is nothing short of an absolute masterpiece that had its hooks in me within the first 30 minutes. Monolith really gave it their all when making this game and it shows, and I'm extremely looking forward to what they are releasing next.… Expand

    The second little probleme is some affinity charts for some blades. Those are really rare ocations like Perun or Dagas but still a little anoing because you have to make good action wich is a very ambigus hint or a special quest wich is not bothering when you're on the post game but when you're first rare blade is dagas it can get a little frustrating to make.
    But overall the game has a very deep and intresting story. It has some funny and emotional moments wich makes you connect with the characters. The world is pretty big and vast to explorate every mistery and compltete some intresting side quests. Not to forget the amazin personalaty of the principal charaters like Zeke, Morag or even Rex. throug the story you can see the evolution of those characters and undestand them by their back story. Plus the principal characters are not the only ones who got a personality. Every blade has it's own personality and the game let you intercat with them so you can know better about them and increase your affinity like Electra wich is a crybaby.
    I'm looking fordward fo Xenoblade Chronicles 3 hopping that they fix those little issues and the story would be as amazing as this one.    … Expand

XC2 also has one of the best video game soundtracks I have heard. You will be listening these songs long after you finish the game. I would also strongly recommend to check out the story DLC Torna the golden country. It fixes many of the issues original game had and expands the story. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is not for everyone though. For example I can see how the occasional over the top humor and inconsistent visual design on blades might turn some people off. Combat system is not the easiest to learn but when you get a hang of it you will love it. For me the game is solid 10/10 but it is not perfect.… Expand

    Takes place on 13 massive open worlds. Bulk of game taken up by 13hr long, slowly paced cutscenes & 100hrs of questing. No exaggeration. Animation ranges in quality. It looks great visually, but conversations go on for eternity while robotic movements lack emotional spark to grip anyone whose not an Anime junky. Combat, though grindy at times, has a lot of interestingly deep, yet simple mechanics. I liked how I could gain money/exp by doing all kinds of side activities. It made each thing you do have a purpose. Camera panning controls is the best feature in a 3D game to date. You can lock into any perspective to hearts desire. It was specifically useful to play using overhead view in spaces with larger enemies.

    For someone who favors streamlined games, I did feel it was punishing that I needed to farm for hours to unlock doors in main story by meeting criteria of character field skills. You can’t just obtain these abilities at will. You need to gamble rare crystals with low probability on top of fulfilling achievement chart style missions. At certain points, I would be acquiring new characters during journey that could no longer use throughout full playthrough. Was working on boosting skills for them, but came to find that character died permanently during a scene. To my dismay, all of my hard work maxing this guy would be rendered useless. By the endgame, a specific world I was fond of for farming got destroyed. Story warned me multiple times to save or I couldn’t continue further to beat the game. It was then where I had no choice but to sacrifice a great area in exchange to see a few more boss encounters & longwinded cutscenes.

    Combat would have these broken moments where Ai would slip off of a cliff. Ai got confused by this & run into walls. During a farming zone battle where I fought a high level enemy, monsters I had killed a few minutes ago auto-spawned as high level beast slipped into area with a horde. Was annoying because it got me killed over clunky design. Flying enemies were hard to reach with normal attacks. Needed to farm until had a Blade Core with a long ranged weapon to inflict a reasonable amount of damage.

    The worst thing about game is the mission trackers. I constantly struggled in Gormott Province. There was a tree blocking where marker told me to follow. It had an up arrow at 30 percent. So I climbed the tree, then it says I’m supposed to be at the bottom. Very frustrating & misleading.

    Although had many issues, the pros outweighed the cons. I liked it because was into the adventuring aspect. Certain moments captured the essence found in Zelda series. Worlds are very largely scaled & big enough to compare in scope to MMOs. Almost would consider genre a Massively Single Player JRPG. Wouldn’t recommend to fans of Ocarina of Time unless they don’t mind pacing through sections that take longer by compulsively tasking for hours. Simple things like selecting multiple items to use at a time would have sped things up dramatically. Was it necessary to not have a load file option during game? A run button would be ever so useful. Not to mention a pause button during battle. Got killed because had to blow my nose. As it stands, game is suited for those who got lost in older Chrono, Mana, Final Fantasy, Xenogears Ips, or those with very patient attention spans.    … Expand

    Story (so far): 6-7/10 (If you hate tutorials, have fun the first 6 hours......)

    Fighting System: 9/10 (Once you get the hang of it, it's all fun)

    Music: 10/10 (Great, great, great job and possibly greatest part of this game)

    Character Dev: 7/10 (Too anime-is for me, but that's why it's a JRPG)

    English Voice Over: 4/10 (Please kill me......... preferably in a British/New Zealander/Australian accent)

    Japanese Voice Over 7/10 (As expected, and that's why they made it available for free day one)

    Time for your money: 10/10 (so much to do......... too much)

    Now, the real question I have is this... Why the f*ck are Pyra's breasts so damn large if Rex doesn't even have a penis? (Sorry, the Rex penis part really struck me because well, usually in other games/animes, there is mystery allowed in the nether regions by using baggy clothes and whatnot... but this is clearly "NO ROOM FOR PENIS" crotch. So I wanted to know, if they made Rex practically androgynous, why did they make Pyra so clearly buxom? Pressure from Nier's 2B?)

    On a more serious note, I do believe the folk at Monolith went a little overboard here on the fan service, and I was quite disappointed with this particular factor. Naturally, I got over it, but for a couple of minutes after her intro (I'm not one of those who watched the trailer), I drew a huge question mark on design choices. I mean, if you play, you'll understand. They're not just big, they're extremely big. They're bigger than Mai Shiranui's (for the oldest crowd); a little less than Taki's from Soul Calibur (for the old-sh crowd); and approximately the same size as Selvaria Bles' from Valkyria Chronicles... in fact, I'd say her whole body IS based on Selvaria, but with someone else's head.

    That's all I wanted to say, and I mostly say it for both sides of that fence. If you like fan service, you'll get some here. If you hate it, or if you think JRPGs should get a little creative and quit the "for little boys" antics, you have been warned.    … Expand

    Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is a good game riddled with technical issues and poor game design choices. Never have I played a game so frustrating, and yet found myself coming back, I would imagine that some do not ever want to play this game again. Let's dive into the issues of the game. The party AI: The AI    UPDATE AS OF 12/23/2017 Many things have been patched (Previous score was a 7).

    Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is a good game riddled with technical issues and poor game design choices. Never have I played a game so frustrating, and yet found myself coming back, I would imagine that some do not ever want to play this game again. Let's dive into the issues of the game.

    The party AI:
    The AI in this game, particularly the hero characters in your party, are extremely stupid. Tanks will try to run around enemies, and run off of cliffs. Healers will stand in environmental poison/fire and die; when you res them they don't move from the spot, and die again in the same spot. I've never played any previous Xenoblade games but if these issues were in the past games it should have been fixed by now.

    Hardware and Software Issues:
    Nintendo advertises a Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Pro Controller, which is cool and all, but it doesn’t work with the game undocked (THIS ISSUE HAS NOW BEEN FIXED AS OF 12/23/2017 VIA UPDATE). This game also has major issues rendering parts of the game particularly when you fast travel to certain areas, like Tora’s house.

    The UI map interface/quest design:
    The map in this game, in its current state, is terrible. Not only is it hard to figure out where you are due to the enormous sub menu you must dig through, the quest indicators at the top provide little to no help, especially later in the game. The quest design from a gameplay perspective could also use a little tweaking; after hours of doing a chain quest only to find out the final part is gated behind your blades field skills seems like a low blow. Not only that but you have to hope you have the right field skills because if you don’t, it’s time to open core crystals for an hour looking for blades that have the skill you need to complete the quest. This is particularly annoying in a couple of the MAIN STORY quests, because you cannot progress until you have certain field skills and level them to certain levels. Thankfully there is an update that will happen for some of these issues (like the map UI) late December. (UI MAP HAS BEEN FIXED SLIGHTLY VIA UPDATE 12/23/2017).

    Save your game often:
    There is a random crash which is happening to many people in the later chapters of the game. As many people know this game doesn’t have “save points”, like so many other JRPG’s do, to remind you to save. So, if you’re mid-dungeon and have to leave the game for whatever reason don’t forget to save. If you do forget to save you’ll find yourself wanting to flush this game down the toilet; have fun slogging through the previous hours of your life leading up to that dungeon all over again if you die at the boss or anything else.

    Despite it’s many frustrating technical issues, and design choices, it still manages to be a good game from a story, and exploration perspective. It’s worth a try, but don’t be surprised if you put this game on the shelf and start playing something else for a while; especially after your tank runs off a cliff side just before you’re about to kill a monster for the first time.    … Expand

The art style is great, the visuals are really good (for the most part), the voice acting is also solid, the worlds are varied and memorable, the gameplay is satisfying and has a ton of depth and cutscenes are very well done with some incredible action sequences.

The art style is great, the visuals are really good (for the most part), the voice acting is also solid, the worlds are varied and memorable, the gameplay is satisfying and has a ton of depth and cutscenes are very well done with some incredible action sequences. However the game has its fair share of flaws such as the resolution which maxes at 720p (underwhelming by today's standards) and often dips below this with the game genuinely looking like a PS2 game in some instances, the frame rate also dips below 30 on numerous occasions. The lip syncing is also non existent which kinda breaks the immersion but isn't too much of a problem and the game doesn't do a very good job at explaining things a lot of the time, as well as the waypoint which is pretty bad at directing you on where to go. Overall, the game is great and definitely worth checking out despite its flaws, I just can't shake the feeling though that this game was rushed to meet the holiday 2017 deadline.… Expand

    Magnifico juego, que por ponerle una pega en los momentos finales se hace un pelin repetitivo y con algun jefe obligatorio con una curba de dificultad mal medida. A nivel de historia es genial y de ambientacion descomunal.

    A fight with an ordinary enemy whose level is slightly higher can drag on for minutes, especially if you’re fighting it alone. The combat itself is also rife with problems: sometimes main character even fails to draw his weapon, or locks onto a far-off enemy, while another already is eviscerating him in close combat.

    Despite some rough patches, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is a worthy addition to any Switch owner's library, especially if you have a predilection for RPGs and enjoyed either of the previous entries in the series. [Issue #32 – March/April 2018, p. 75]

    Extensive and massive JRPG. Although with a rather cliché story and characters, it comes with a beautiful world and a fighting system growing more and more complex with every hour played. [Issue#282]
