    I have quit Xenoblade Chronicles on the Wii years ago because I was waiting for this, and it finally did, at long last I can finally play Xenoblade Chronicles 1 with a decent controller, better QoL changes, and put Xenoblade Chronicles 2 where it belongs: into the trash.

    XC:DE is essentially a remastered version of the original game from wii and with some added bonus like the extra campaign, added QoL changes like quest tracking and signs for moves, and of course that (horrendous) anime style that reeks of Xenoblade 2. This is probably my biggest nitpick of all because the original wii version had a style more reminiscent of a final fantasy game, which was pretty good and it fit the style of the game, but now they took the AWFUL style of Xenoblade 2, which already didn't know which style to stick with, and made the characters into anime characters.

    To be very fair, some characters do look fine like Melia, Shulk, Sharla and even Riki looks nicer, but some others look terrible (What have they done to you Reyn and Fiora?) and some don't even look much different (Dickson, Mumkhar, Dunban etc). It's very hit or miss and I wish they'd stick with the original game style...but at the very least it's one style instead of hundreds like in XC2.

    With that out of the way, the game is just like 10 years ago: the combat is fast, it's fun, it's tactical and basically, what XC2 should've been (and what XCX did but not as good), you have skill trees which allow each character to have up to 5 talent trees, with each character having the ability of a skill link that allows borrowing a talent from one of the characters - based on the friendship level. Skills can be upgraded further via points and books, allowing them to become even stronger, and thanks to the talent trees each character is capable to be ACTUALLY multiple role (I will never forget swimsuit dunban with so much strength he was a dps machine). The amount of customization in this game is maddening and truly shows the amount of care this game received, including different armor for each character (YES, actual armor showing in a jrpg, when was the last time you saw this?) incredible large areas to explore, crafting, trading, building (for the colonies), and much, much, MUCH, MUCH more!

    In all honesty, the bad things I could tell, are very minimal but still quite annoying. For one the gem removal could've been tweaked better. Aggro is still an issue and Reyn isn't all that better, requiring me to stack up aggro gems to avoid others from being obliterated. Expert mode is a joke and it's basically XC2 way of banking experience instead of using them right away instead of, you know, an actual difficulty option (there is Casual mode but the game is a joke already). Jumping is very floaty and really unreliable even in this version, the minimap is incredibly small and the large map (pressing the L analog) is too big and not well zoomed. Still only 3 slots but at the very least you get an autosave.

    And personally, my biggest pet peeve is the price point: 60 euros for a remaster is quite a lot and really didn't sit well to me when you can buy remasters - and remakes too - for much less. Don't take me wrong, the game is worth all its money, and the extra campaign is a nice touch, but would you pay 60 euros for a hd remaster of, say, Final Fantasy 10? or Dragon quest 8? It's a 10-year-old game, it shouldn't be priced like a recent game, especially when it's quite literally the same game on the Wii with improved graphics and nothing more (the voice acting is the same as the Wii version, and the music, while re-arranged, it was still good back in the way).

    And I'm fairly sure the extra campaign isn't worth the 60 euro price point either and if we can compare it to Torna, it won't be longer than 20 hours.

    But It's sad to say that, despite the price issue and the minimal tweaking done, it shows this game is as solid as a rock: this game was good back in 2010 and it's still good today, and there's hardly any other jrpg that can be compared to this when it comes to content.

    The only issue I could add is that the story is...okay, and very predictable, but I'll take this story over XC2 anytime so it's still solid!

    So if you're curious, and you want to play a PROPER Xenoblade chronicles after that disgrace of a sequel called 2, then this is the game you must play. It's a solid jrpg in every way and it's easily one of the best jrpg of all time.    … Expand

    Everything about this game is great. The biggest flaw is probably the annoying party AI. Other than that - great story, voice acting, combat, environments, exploration, etc. All the systems are well explained and are fun with nice UI (skills, arts, collectibles, affinities, etc.)    … Expand

I don't really understand how you can be a fan & crap all over this game when all the creators did was try to make it better. Which they did. Btw I did also wanna point out that all the graphics obsessed individuals constantly bringing up "it's even worse than the original", is just a lie. It mostly maintains its new HD quality on the dock, looking absolutely beautiful compared to the old XC. Even in handheld it looks fantastic. It does dip below 400p at it's worst (off the dock), but it's never ever gonna be looking bad. 720p is the native output, so it always looks more impressive than the Wii version. Just because there's less pixels in any given game compared to another doesn't automatically make it garbage. Many people would agree that games like Chrono Trigger or Super Metroid are much better than most current day game releases. This is all subjective I suppose. Anyway, XCDE even surpasses XC2 in terms of graphical quality, which is very evident in handheld. This is an impressive feat since they are both enormous games. Many anti-XCDE complainers mention that many assets of the initial game build were used in the Definitive Edition, & it seems to be the case. I'm not going to ignorantly say it's a port when so many things have changed for the better, but it was a little obvious looking at some of the NPCs that several of them were just glossed & res'd up. While I will concede that I thought they were doing a tiny bit more in this department, it does make sense with the development timeframe Monolith Soft was working with that this was the end product. Nintendo holds these guys to a release date just like any other publisher would for an exclusive game. With the studios of Monolith branching into what it's becoming, while working a new IP as well as Breath of the Wild 2 most likely, it's crazy that they got the engine to run as efficiently as it does. Overhauled UI for most screens & menus, added voiced story content, many lines & musical scores were rerecorded but still have the option for original sound. New video player for unlocked cutscenes, new easy & expert modes, & Japanese voices for the first time. I will say one thing that truly disappointed me was no added voice acting for heart to heart conversations. It's not perfect, but I really love every addition & improvement that was made to a game that I already loved. If I'm being honest it's more of a 9.6 out of ten, but we're rounding up for all the haters (:… Expand

    The story is amazingly written and you can always relate with the characters.

Everything flows so effortlessly together in this JRPG Masterpiece, the world of the Bionis and Mechonis will go down in gaming history as two of the best worlds to explore. The scale is astonishing, you truly feel the world around you with each body part acting as a different environment, hosting many different creatures, sights and secrets. The more you travel the better your surroundings, there is no down point when it comes to the artistic visual design of this game. This is all accompanied by one of the best soundtracks ever, it perfectly matches the tone of the world your in and fuels your thirst and thrive for adventure. The music in this game was already amazing but the remastered versions absolutely blew me away, in honestly baffles me how they managed to improve on perfection. The story is a roller coaster of emotional twists, the subtle use of foreshadowing the games major events is simply genius. Replaying the game a second time you will instantly realise that nothing happened randomly, everything has a reason, and this is backed up by a wonderful, well developed cast of characters. Shulk is truly a Hero, although he may appear to be the "typical" nobody turned hero protagonist at first, his story goes beyond expectations when it comes to personal development, what is he fighting for, why is he gifted, who will he become. Even his companions match this level of development with their own arcs, they aren't simple side characters that have tagged along just because. Combat is made so much for engaging thanks to the updated UI, it is much cleaner, sharper and easier to understand. As well as this, navigation is less chaotic with a better designed map/compass system, which admittedly does take away some pleasure from exploring this amazing world, but does ultimately balance getting too lost and potentially getting annoyed over nothing. Speaking of, side quests are so much easier to log and complete thanks to the new Quest Screen, which will allow the player to properly guide you on what needs to be done. Another feature I praise is the ability to wear any Equipment without having to sacrifice your physical appearance, Shulk could be dressed in his swimsuit with the best items in the game during the final boss if it so pleased you, no having to give up your amazing stats. Finally I must talk about Future Connected. This is a great little gift, the Bionis Shoulder is massive, and is a lot more diverse then I original thought. Again, the music is beautiful, the composers really outdid themselves. The story focuses heavy on Melia, finishing her character arc along side Shulk, who is great in this side story but isn't the main focus, and two new characters Nene and Kino, who are two of the best Nopon in Xenoblade Chronicles, dare I say outshine their father... these four have great chemistry throughout this 10 - 12 hour story, which focuses on the aftermath of the orginal game. Honestly, more questions are asked than answered, unfortunately there is no major connection to any other Xenoblade games from what I can tell and is simply a nice conclusion to Melia's story. Is it worth buying for this story alone, that's a hard question to answer. I would say yes to everyone except for those who don't want to play the main game, that is still the major highlight of this package.

    I can't recommend this game enough, this truly is a once in a life time experience. Please do not spoil the game for yourself or others, you will regret it. An easy 10/10.    … Expand

I found myself liking Fiora a lot more than I did in previous versions due to her new facial expressions. The updated visuals convey a sense of child-like innocence that was lacking in previous versions. This makes it easier to relate with the characters on a human level and thus, sympathize with their struggles and hardships a little bit more.

    Beyond the visuals, there are some great quality of life changes here, too. My personal favourite is the new ‘expert mode’ that allows players to collect reserve exp which they can use at any time to level up OR down. This allows a completionist to discover landmarks and complete side quests without turning the boss fights into a joke. I also love that we have 3 save files plus an auto save. Why X, 2 and Torna have only 1 save slot is beyond me.

    If I had one complaint, though, it would be related to the unintelligible art use of the AI. Don’t expect consistent topples from Reyn if you are playing as Shulk. Likewise, go ahead and remove battle soul from Shulk’s art palette as the AI will abuse this art, even if it is being aggro’d by a swarm of enemies. The AI’s incompetence could have been mitigated to some degree by giving the player more control. For example, commanding the AI to save their talent arts for a chain attack to string together colour combos and maximize damage. Alas, these are relatively minor complaints in the grand scheme of things.

    Xenoblade Definitive Edition is a fantastic game that is well worth your money. Think of the beautiful landscapes in Breath of the Wild, and keep in mind that the studio which helped build that overworld are the ones who made this game. Whether you are traversing the Gaur Plains, Satorl Marsh or Makna Forest, the locations and theme songs will take your breath away. It has a great story, charming characters and enough side content to keep you busy for hundreds of hours. For these reasons, Definitive Edition is my definition of a 10/10 game.    … Expand

Never thought I would've liked this game as much as I did. It has plenty of charm! Each character is unique with their own stories and their own ideals and with the story progression you'll start to feel really connected to them and their ambitions because the story is so beautiful, so well crafted.
    The combat is addicting and as you learn new arts and new party members appear there are a lot more strategies in your gameplay and it turns it even more fun. It can be quite painful to understand at first but once you get it, it becomes the most addicting thing in the whole game.
    The OST is magnificent, every sound is really good and lovely, it's really nice to hear those masterpieces while exploring the world. The world of Xenoblade not only has enjoyable sounds but it has a lot of good and gorgeous places to visit, it's amazing to explore and it also has a lot of varied enemies in each place. Sidequests are maybe the only letdown since they're not that memorable but they're also nice to do and are valuable to the gigantic affinity chart the game offers.
    In conclusion, Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition is almost a perfect game, a perfect JRPG it's a game that excels in everything from story to OST to gameplay which becomes really addictive once you get to play it's first few hours.    … Expand

    It’s breathtaking in every sense of the word, as the orchestral soundtrack picks up around you. From here on out, the Bionis comes alive.

    Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition is not a flawless experience. Repetitive quests and non-optimal handheld resolution becomes apparent as the game progresses, but ultimately does not take away from the experience. Regardless, it is a delightful mix of unforgettable locations, beautiful music and exciting storytelling, tied together by a dynamic cast of characters. Like many JRPG’s, the story has a slow start - which has put off many new players. But if you can make it past the opening hours, you have a game that will leave you yearning to experience it again for the very first time. The Definitive Edition keeps gameplay largely the same — a fast-paced battle system which allows you to move freely while choosing Artes, skills with a period of cool down. Though generic enemies don’t pose a challenge, unique monsters and bosses require thoughtful use of chain attacks and the foresight mechanic, which forces you to make split-second decisions in response to a devastating attack that will occur in the near future, keeping you on your toes. With the ability to switch between playable characters — from the DPS Shulk, the mage Melia and the evasion tank Dunban to name a few — combat never gets tiresome. If you’re feeling burned out, there are another 6 character play styles to try.

    Of course, combat is but a small part of the game. Xenoblade Chronicles is supported by a cast of characters that rivals even the Tales series. Oftentimes in breaks in the story I would return to previous areas using the massively helpful fast-travel to complete a couple of quests with my band of misfits, just to hear Reyn say ‘what a buncha jokers’. If you’re someone that holds characters and their interwoven dynamics in high regard, Xenoblade fleshes out theirs and does not disappoint.

    There is so much more to say about this game, but I feel it’s best experienced first-hand. As someone who played this beloved game on the New 3DS, if you’re playing this for the very first time on the Switch, with its updated graphics and modernised UI, you’re in for something unforgettable. Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition really doesn’t feel like a game — it feels alive and emotive. Never before have I been so immersed in a games locations, lore, and story. If you’re even the slightest bit intrigued, or have a niche for JRPG’s, play the game. And after you’ve sunk tens, potentially hundreds of hours into the game, play it again, wishing desperately to experience it again for the first time.    … Expand

Las mejoras de la definitive edition, son muy grandes, sobre todo el rediseño de la HUI, la musica remasterizada (cambia la experiencia de juego de verdad), la adición de los desafíos, el lavado de cara gráfico...todo. Aunque, debo decir, que tanta perfección resta la magia, el carisma y naturalidad que presentaba el lanzamiento inicial del juego en Wii (por ejemplo, gráficamente ahora se asemeja más al Xenoblade 2). Las virtudes y puntos fuertes del juego son obvias, por eso voy a comentar lo que yo habría mejorado para que fuera un juego 11/10...y luego paso a comentar el...esperpento de mini expansión que se incluye como novedad , llamada Future Connected...XD.

    Entonces, para mejorar el juego original, lo más "grave" de todo es que el juego pide a gritos llevar montura: animales, naves huma/nopon/telethia/mákhina...hay tantas opciones, de hecho, ya vemos una buena cantidad de vehículos y bestias domesticadas a lo largo del juego. Ir a lomos de un armix o de una nave theleia hubiera sido brutal...y no digamos si se pudiera volar, pero bueno, con ir más rápido en tierra me conformaría, ya que a veces hay que recorrer larguisimas distancias, sobre todo si quieres completar todo lo que el juego ofrece. Esto conecta con mi segundo punto, y es que creo que algunos teleportadores no está muy bien colocados, y en algunos sitios hacen falta más: esto al menos hubiera paliado un poco la carencia de una montura para andar más rápido (en condiciones, no con gemas). En tercer lugar, por no pedir que no sea, habría añadido más estilos de ropa (lo prefiero antes que tener doscientas variaciones de colores). Y por último, no me gusta el tema de que en determinado punto del juego ya no puedas volver a zonas que visitaste, y entonces no puedas obtener ciertos objetos o derrotar a ciertos enemigos...vaya, que una parte del juego ya no es accesible nunca más...pero bueno, entiendo que tiene que ser así por el guión, pero en tal caso al menos lo habría avisado (igual que avisan con las misiones que son temporales o antes de entrar en la batalla de final del juego), de manera que así el jugador está sobreaviso y puede completar todo lo que quiera de la zona en cuestión que ya no será accesible si avanza...ah, y si hubieran puesto algun minijuego, lo habrían bordado (aunque la reconstruccion de colonia 6 es en sí un gran extra muy entretenido).

    Esto sería todo sobre el juego original. Y rápidamente, sobre a nueva historia Future Connected...pues ha sido una decepción grande, y una gran oportunidad perdida. Mira que era fácil acertar, con un juego original tan bueno, y con un futuro totalmente abierto a desarrollar lo que quisieras, con un mínimo de calidad. Esta expansión presenta una trama que no aporta nada, salvo para "cerrar" malamente la historia de Melia (se podía haber planteado de muchas otras maneras más satisfactorias), con un enemigo final y el rollo que hay detras totalmente innecesarios, con dos nuevos personajes jugables que no pintan nada, diálogos interminables vacíos y carentes de interés, el extra de los nopon prospectores que sobra...no sé, un despropósito, es que no lo puedo pintar mejor. Encima te quitan los arboles de habilidades y te mantienen exactamente igual todas las artes (sí, los dos nuevos personajes tienen las mismas habilidades que Sharla y Reyn)...y ahora diré lo bueno: los nuevos estilos de ropa "monado" de shulk y "amapola" de Melia, el diseño de la nueva monado y el nuevo cetro de Melia, y por supuesto, la posibilidad (rápidamente truncada) de volver a disfrutar del esplendor de Alcamoth. Y es que, señoras y señores, el ending nos muestra en imágenes lo que SÍ tenía que haber sido esta expansión: la reconstrucción de Alcamoth. Ah...eso sí que habría sido un gozo y habría permitido también cerrar la historia de Melia. Hubiera sido maravilloso. Es más, era lo que tocaba naturalmente, puesto que ya ayudas a su reconstruccion en el juego original. Para terminar, vemos a un Shulk desaparecido en carisma, y una Melia extremadamente pesimista y apagada, que se achantan ante unos obstáculos que son una décima parte de lo que pasaron en el juego original...sus personalidades totalmente ensombrecidas y ausentes...para lo que Shulk aporta, practicamente sobra, con eso lo digo todo. Ya digo, con todo, no es ultra terrible, pero si piensas en la oportunidad perdida y en lo que podia haber sido, pues sí, es un poco catastrófico este dlcs, es un pegote totalmente desconectado en cuerpo y alma con el original.

    Espero que para desarrollar Xenoblade 3, el estudio de desarrollo se aleje un poco del Xenoblade 2 y mucho del Future Connected y en su lugar aprenda del Xenoblade 1, que fue el que marco el éxito de esta ya consolidada saga.    … Expand

It eliminates some of the downsides of the original game and it is awesome. The new character models fir the main characters look great with no more pixely faces that were in the wii and New 3ds versions. The new arranged music is quite great i love when people remake a sound track right, and for those who choose to do so the original music can be selected instead.

    And yeah the resolution/fsp isn't like a Ps4/Xbox One game but this is the Switch and with the current version of this console it never will be. There is a price for the portability of the system, and also it pays to remember this is a Remaster not a Remake a difference that means alot more than some people seem to think. With Remasters everything looks better than the original like just freshening it up a bit to look nicer, where with a remake everything becomes rebuilt from the ground up and when you do that is only when you can get the best quality control. So yeah some textures in the mix look worse than the majority but we have a game that runs from 60-100 hours so im not surprised given the immense size of the world and its locations that a few textures were missed.

    Overall this version is THE way to experience this game as far as im concerned and really raises up the experience overall.    … Expand

    I'm about 20 hours in and the story is completely bonkers it's so good the twists and turns are crazy. This is an extremely story driven game but the combat is still pretty fun an absolute must buy unless you really dislike story based games.

    People who rate this a 0 or 1 don’t understand how to rate games. They think if a game turns out not to be their style that it’s a 0. Celeste, a very well respected game, wasn’t my style. I still gave it an 8/10 because I respected how well it was made. Xenoblade Chronicles was a masterpiece before, and is now an even better version of itself.

    I wish I could rate this game higher. It is in a league of its own. The story, the characters, the gameplay, the music! Everything is so freaking good! A lot of replay value after beating the game as well in new game+ and also a new side story. In my opinion Xenoblade chronicles was already one of the best games ever made when it was on the Wii, and this HD remake made it even better.

    One of the best JRPGs ever made, in its best version. What else is there to say, except people who were fretting about graphics are wrong— it looks great.

    This game is a piece of art! Definitely the history of this game is the best of all the xenoblade saga!

    Xenoblade chronicles DE est un excellent jeu à la base, remis au goût du jour et jouable sur switch. L'histoire est palpitante, et quand on croit arriver à son terme, on réalise qu'on en est encore loin. Ce faux dénouement survient 3 fois, et trois fois, j'ai été surpris de l'ampleur du jeu. Avec un newgame+ costaud, et le nouveau mode expert, le jeu sur switch a gagné en intensité.

    This is a REMASTER not a remake BUT man does it feel like a remake! The developers recently said that their biggest regret of this game was the visuals but they did what they could at the time with the hardware available but now they've complete their original vision they had 10 years ago and it truly is the definitive edition!

    There hasn't been a RPG that has made me feel like this since ChronoTrigger! The music the gameplay the story, Just takes me back to the 90s. The resolution could be better but being that this game is over a decade i personally give it a pass

    Currently the best JRPG system and story for me. Xenoblade chronicles and persona are the top JRPG, each give different flavours

    This game is OUTSTANDING and puts Final Fantasy 7 R into a shame. If you like RPG(not only jRPGs), this is a must have. Story is a top-notch, music the best in any video game imo(and I have played Nier) and battle system is surprisingly fun. I didn't expect that. Views are also impressive. This is one of these "life games"

    The best game I’ve ever played. Xenoblade Defintive has an amazing story. Fun characters, unique world setting, and an absolutely god tier soundtrack. And the Defintive version has added several quality of life improvements, better graphics, and bonus content to top it all off!

    Xenoblade Chronicles is still one of the best games of the genre, which 10 years later continues to delight and surprise with a unique world, luxurious epic landscapes, an incredible sense of freedom, beautiful music and a really interesting story. Of course, it is a pity that the Definitive Edition has a technical limitation in terms of resolution, which does not allow the image to really shine in 2020, but otherwise it is a chic project that every fan of the genre of adventure and Japanese role-playing games should play.

    It’s hard to believe this is a game that released in 2012 and not more recently. Though there are some dated and heavy systems, the atmosphere and a combat system that gives freedom and depth make Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition an RPG for the ages.
