    Almost perfect game. The music and the lack of volume adjustments made it hard to follow the incredible story.

You can make a dual lightsaber wielding warrior or a dual gun wielder, big sword wielder etc and not to mention the giant mechs wich you aquire in the game. You can transform it into a tank or a jet and roam the sky. Awesome game and i hope it gets a switch port.… Expand

    An overlooked classic. Definitely needs a port. You'll be surprised by the world and its ever-evolving mechanics. Highly recommended if you are a sci-fi fan and need to get away from the stresses of everyday life. This game, and its worlds, deliver. Oh, highly recommended you get an external drive for this one and a way to charge your Wii U handheld.

    After I couldn't get in to Xenoblade on Switch, I tried this. I loved it and then quickly realised it is a big open world exploration game, which is not for me at all.

    However if you like open world games, this is a big beautiful open world. I tend to prefer animation game world's but this was fantastic.

    This is really a 6/10 for my personal enjoyment but if levelling, exploring and open world are your thing, then it doesn't get much better than this. I am still in two minds as to whether I want to trade this in yet but I am now at the last boss on Xenoblade and X doesn't compare for me as I love Xenoblades story. X doesn't really have much story.

    Fantastic game and the battle system has a horrible learning curve but is fun once it clicks.

    I am still giving a 10 score because I think if I look at it in context, rather than my personal view then it deserves a 10.    … Expand

    A pesar de ser tardía la evaluación. El juego es increíble y sus combates con los Mecas mas su música realmente es épica, es una lastima que no pueda ser porteada a Switch. Pero si quieres probar un buen JRPG no te arrepentirás.

It makes you feel like an outsider, where for once the human race is no on top of the food chain and this game paints that picture spectacularly. And just as you feel you've explored everything on the planet the game gives you a big flying robot (a skell) that changes both the exploration and the combat beautifully. The exploration, combat, and making bonds with the citizens of New L.A. are by far the best things in this game. The most common reason this game gets hated on is because of the story but you have to realize that this isn't a masterpiece because of its twelve chapters, it's a masterpiece because it is capable of creating a sense of scale I have never experienced before, it manages to bring you into it's world better than Botw and any other open-world j/rpg. Yes the battle system is hard to learn, yes the menus and skills are confusing, but after you see past that you see the beautiful masterpiece of a video-game that is Xenoblade Chronicles X.

    Oh also a port to switch would be amazing.

    I'm editing my review 2 seconds after submitting it because I realized I forgot about the soundtrack. The music in this game is phenomenal and goes so well with the theme. It's so fun to explore an alien world while listen to beautiful music, take my word for it. The music is so good it makes what could be repetitive battles into something to look forward too. Enough said, this game is beautiful, buy it and buy a wii u if you don't have one.    … Expand

    Positives: - really big open world
    - a lot to explore
    - good character design
    - interesting story
    - better combat system then in the first game
    - many side quests to do
    - hard but fair bosses
    - amazing soundtrack - fantastic graphics, especially for WiiU standards Negatives:
    - caused of the free open world, lots of enemies which are highly over levelled - especially in the ending chapters, a lot of grinding is needed
    - when you start a harmony quest you have to end it and you can not start a new chapter or other kinds of quests during that time
    - some quality of life problems in the game

    So yes, the game has its problems, but still it is an amazing action RPG. It is the worst Xenoblade, but that doesn’t say that the game is bad, but more how good the entire series is. I recommend this game to everyone who likes exploring a massiv open world, likes a good written story, likes figuring out new tactics in combat and every RPG fan.

    I bought Wii U in 2020(!) to play this game, and even after I factor in costs for the console itself – I still think it was a great purchase.

    The game is massive. I’m 120 hours in and I think I’m still below 50% of completion – there is just so much to do. There is vast world to explore with 5 distinctive continents. You can go anywhere and the game rewards you generously for it –    I bought Wii U in 2020(!) to play this game, and even after I factor in costs for the console itself – I still think it was a great purchase.

    The game is massive. I’m 120 hours in and I think I’m still below 50% of completion – there is just so much to do. There is vast world to explore with 5 distinctive continents. You can go anywhere and the game rewards you generously for it – provided you can find your way across the open world and survive hostile environment. There is a layer of economics, where you can optimize your network of mining probes and squeeze additional resources out of the planet or invest into weapon manufacturers so that they could create new equipment. If you don’t mind grinding for necessary components – craft system is there to give you an edge. Characters may look like generic bodies at first, but if you care to do affinity missions – each of them actually has a story and a personality. Quests are pretty versatile and voice acting is decent– some dialogs are genuinely fun, and some are properly touching. Even plot, while seeming straightforward at first, actually doesn’t linger at one place and quickly escalates, managing to surprise you with unexpected turns and providing new things to do after every chapter.

    I really like how the game ties it all together so that at any point in time you do something different and meaningful. The game constantly throws something new into the mix – new mechanics, characters, quests, locations, even giant walking transforming robots you can pilot at some point! I rigorously do quests and exploration but nonetheless there are always more things to do then I can keep track of. Even running around the main city is somewhat rewarding – citizens change depending on time of day and talk about recent events, often providing you with additional lore, help and clues that lead to new side missions, treasures and boss fights.

    Such scale and complexity though is something that may put off less dedicated players. The game helps you take your first baby steps but then expects you to figure out the rest on your own. It takes dozens of hours before all stats, abilities and gauges start making sense, end even after that you often realize there is an extra layer or two you had been completely missing out. Every weapon in the game has a dozen of different stats, and there are hundreds of unique abilities every item might have on top of that, providing you with limitless build options. I just love this depth, often spending hours in in-game menus, pondering about optimal combination of skills and equipment I’d need for different characters, and I can see how such preparation immediately pays off on the battlefield.

    I really have only two bits of critique about this game. The first one is inconsistent music (some tracks are great, but some other are just awful), the other is subpar accessibility. Apart from a steep learning curve I’ve already mentioned, the game apparently doesn’t try too hard to be user-friendly. Interface is overloaded and you often have to press a dozen of buttons to do a relatively simple thing. Inventory system struggles to handle overwhelming variety of items you get. There is just no space anywhere on screen to remind you what exactly one or another ability does. Targeting in combat sometimes is a nightmare, enemies can spawn on you or kill you through a wall and yes, there are notorious fetch quests where you don’t get any clue on where to go at all… It's never cruel though - you don't have to start over because you made a wrong choice early in the game. You get used to this clunkiness quickly and stop noticing it at all, although I can see how players expecting more casual entertainment can be left disgruntled.

    I wouldn’t call the game grindy though. Of course there is an element of that due to randomised loot and extensive craft system, and getting top equipment would probably require it. I did hunt some creatures for rare components, but that was my choice – I wanted to make the best sword for my level. The game also features online component (that still works, even though Miiverse doesn’t) that yields you reward tickets you can exchange for pretty much any craft material, so you don’t have to go hunt that particular enemy if you don’t feel so.

    Technically XCX has aged well. I was worried it wouldn’t be playable on my 50” 4K TV because of its low resolution, but after tweaking some settings the game actually looks good. If you’re playing from disk – make sure to download speed up packs Nintendo has in store for free.

    Overall I love this game. For me, the genre veteran, it’s a pure delight that makes modern rpgs feel almost like one-dimensional arcades. The game demands a lot but returns in a hundredfold. After reading an interview saying how unlikely the Switch port is, I decided to buy Wii U and this game. I haven’t turned on my PS4 Pro since :)    … Expand

The game is very massive and exploring the massive map is fun.

In XC2, walking and jumping are mainly just a vehicle to go fight to fight, but in this game, you can tell that a lot more care was put into making the exploration feel good, and it shows. Running and jumping feel amazing in this game, better than a lot of regular open world games even. I also like the combat a lot more, keeping the (somewhat) same combat system from XC1, and adding its own spin on it. That isn't to say I don't like the combat in XC2, but it just feels like there's more waiting required in XC2, with the wait times for blades and whatnot. The music is great, story is great, and I like the class system with the two weapons a lot. Character design feels a bit samey in some areas, but it makes some sense given the setting.

Two is purchase a pro controller or a fresh new battery for your Wii U gamepad as the game is quite long. And 3, you will want to read the electronic manual. I cannot stress this point enough. After so many chapters you will eventually receive a powerful ability known as Overdrive. This mechanic replaces chain attacks and is essential for ground combat. The great thing about Overdrive is that you can defeat practically any monster on foot with the proper setup. Understanding Overdrive and mastering it is the key to having fun in Xenoblade X.

    Things I like:
    Overdrive
    Tension Points (far superior to the 3 bar affinity system)
    Soul Voices
    No fall damage
    Auto-Run
    Art/Class customization
    Free Online
    Challenging
    Skells

    Things I didn’t like:
    Useless AI
    Music drowning out voices in cutscenes
    Tiny text
    No towns outside of New LA
    Cannot abort affinity missions
    Targeting system
    Grinding for augments and Holofigures

    Seriously, I love this game but the post-game grind can lead to burnout. This is because most of the good XX augments require 32 or 48 specific materials from 3 different enemies (so between 96 and 144 materials total) just to craft one augment and in some cases the materials will only drop if you target a specific appendage and they do not drop 100% of the time even with max treasure sensor augments equipped. Also, grinding for Holofigures felt unnecessary. Once you defeat a super boss and the segment recon is complete, you should automatically receive the Holofigure as a symbol of your victory. Apart from those gripes it’s a pretty fun and addictive game. The combat system is amazing; easily the best in the series. I just wish it was better explained with tutorials so that newcomers wouldn’t have been put off from trying it. Many inexperienced players would rather save 3000 tp to revive their allies. (bad move) If they understood the power of overdrive they would enjoy X a lot more.    … Expand

Sidequests can be tedious, the menus can be hard to see at times, but there is sooooo much packed into this game, you can play it for hundreds of hours and still find new stuff. I wasn't crazy about the gun play mixed with melee combat at first, but it grew on me. It is an active time battle system made to look like real time. I liked getting the Skels, but it took me over 30 hours to get one! But the game's exploration really opens up when you get a Skel. Very different from XC1 or XC2, but if its just a spin-off, its a really good spin-off that some may like even more than the main series? I prefer the main series, but this is an excellent game too.… Expand

La capacidad que te da este juego de exploración es increíble, siempre hay algún sitio donde no has entrado. La historia no es la mejor del mundo, pero entrega tanto suspense en algunos momentos que resulta muy interesante. El contenido de este juego es increíblemente enorme, hay tantos objetos y mejoras que te hacen buscar ayuda porque no sabes que vas a hacer con todo lo que tienes. La jugabilidad que decir, digno de un juego de Xenoblade Chronicles y con los Skells se abren millones de puertas mas y posibilidades, posibilidades las cuales tienes que jugar mucho para desbloquearlas porque los skells perfectamente los desbloqueas sobre las 30-45 horas de juego. Lo mejor de este juego en mi opinión completamente irrelevante es la música, no hay ost de ningún videojuego que me llene mas que el de este, te sumerge en la ambientación total del videojuego, aunque la primera vez que entres a la ciudad diras:
    -¿pero que mier** de música es esta?
    pero créeme, cuando pase el tiempo no es que te acostumbres, sino que te das cuenta que esa música transmite a la perfección la ambientación de la ciudad y la situación que están pasando y seguro diré que te acabará gustando.
    Soy muy fan de Bayonetta pero mucho, pero no temo a equivocarme al decir que Xenoblade chronicles X es el mejor juego de WIiU, o como mínimo el mas completo y amplio. Gracias al difunto Iwata por estas obras maestras que llegaron a WiiU y que aunque esté mal pensarlo, que no llegue a switch, creo que un juego de tanta tanta calidad como este es sólo digno de los nintenderos de corazón y debe quedarse en WiiU, para cuando pase el tiempo la gente se de cuenta de las joyas que no vieron en pasado porque WiiU no les gustaba en un futuro sean las mas valoradas. Disfrutemos de estos juegos y de WIiU, quienes hemos tenido el juego hemos experimentado lo que hace años se ha dejado de hacer: Crear un gran videojuego con ganas y pasión y de máxima calidad. Muchas gracias y disfruten de lo que fue la verdadera Nintendo ;)    … Expand

    My experience with Xenoblade Chronicles X has been one full of ups and downs.

    ​I was initially extremely hyped about this game due to the trailers and music, but when I started on it, I was frankly disappointed at the relatively poor graphics, small text on screen (which is a genuine problem), unintuitive combat system, removal of native Japanese audio (I have the Western version, and    My experience with Xenoblade Chronicles X has been one full of ups and downs.

    ​I was initially extremely hyped about this game due to the trailers and music, but when I started on it, I was frankly disappointed at the relatively poor graphics, small text on screen (which is a genuine problem), unintuitive combat system, removal of native Japanese audio (I have the Western version, and this is one of my biggest upsets regarding my experience) and cartoonish animations and physics (walking, jumping, being able to walk through people on the street, etc).
    As a result, I played this game on and off. Some parts made me feel bored and unmotivated to keep playing, while others did intrigue me and make me increase my playtime, speeding up my progress, albeit only for a short while most of the time.

    But boy, am I glad that I managed to finish this game in the end. It was completely worth it. More specifically, the ending made it worth it. This is one of the best endings I've ever seen in a video game... I am SO glad I finally finished it after holding off for so long.
    ​
    I am utterly mind-blown at the scale of the story and just everything in the game combined, from the classes to the weapons to the locations. The more you play, the more you'll enjoy this game.
    ​
    The character development is scalable. The more affinity missions you do relating to a character, the more you will understand his/her backstory, motivations, setbacks, etc., and the more fleshed out the character becomes.

    It truly feels like you are going on a journey. A massive and epic journey. Yes the beginning is tough and there is a steep learning curve, with a lot to absorb and the game not teaching you many things which makes it worse. You end up having to discover things for yourself or search online for help many times. BUT at the end of that journey, the game somehow has the ability to move you and make you feel like tearing up due to the fact that you experienced so much, got to know the characters so deeply and went through thick and thin just to reach that point. The idiom "no pain, no gain" rings very true for this game. The feeling really is beyond description. It has to be experienced first-hand.
    ​
    Xenoblade X also has one of the best soundtracks I've ever heard in any video game to date.

    If this game had better graphics, especially when conveying facial expressions and emotions, it would easily have been a masterpiece. But I guess it would be an extremely difficult task considering the scale of the game. That is why ultimately, the satisfaction level that this game gave me is an 8/10, those two points being lost largely due to the graphics, as well as other things like the unintuitive combat system (spamming left and right arrows to get to the desired arts), necessity of grinding and long loading times. Still a memorable experience though.    … Expand

    I'm 2 years late but It was worth it for me, because after playing that crapload of bore called Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and having one of the most boring experience after final fantasy 13 onward, I had to play a much better game and I'm glad I didn't finish this game earlier, because I had a lot of fun playing it and doing most of its content and even after finishing the game I'm stillI'm 2 years late but It was worth it for me, because after playing that crapload of bore called Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and having one of the most boring experience after final fantasy 13 onward, I had to play a much better game and I'm glad I didn't finish this game earlier, because I had a lot of fun playing it and doing most of its content and even after finishing the game I'm still going for them!

    I want to start with the cons since I have two major issues with this game:

    1) Story is rushed and very bare: the actual story and is good, with characters that are kinda simplified but likable and enjoyable: Elma is a very strong leader - and made me question why not make her the main protagonist, instead of me when I'm silent - and Lin is funny but has also a dramatic background. Most character development is done via affinity quests, which are totally separated from the main story but they're pretty good and well written - for the most part.
    Problem is, the main story itself feels really poor because one chapter ends too quickly and as soon stuff happens, the game will stop and ask you to go to the next chapter. Add also a huge cliffhanger ending that implies a sequel that may or may never come - because Xenoblade 2 bimbo anime style is more lovely than mature ones - this might turn off people a bit.
    Overall, it's good, just too fast and not slow enough to take it in.

    2)Fetch-a-thon quests. Almost every single quest in the entire game has a fetching element into it, from collecting animal to poop to whatever, and this could be avoided if there was a codex where it shows you where you can collect them! The areas are huge and each area can or not have the same items and since most quests won't tell you where to find them - besides telling you which region it may be - you can spend HOURS wandering from each side of the area until you find it.
    Did I forget that every quest has fetching? Yeah, no joke: even the smallest and simplest of quests will ask you - literally out of nowhere - to fetch items for something and it is such a nuisance that my quest log was filled with these, because I had to search for them or doing the most boring thing ever - search on the internet.
    A shame because quests are well done besides the fetching and there is other stuff, like info collecting or mediating or even fighting...but then it will randomly ask you to find some dog poo (I think not?) and said poo might take you hours to find, because you need a specific kind of poo from a specific area!
    Bottom line, questing is ruined by constant fetching and it can grow tiresome within seconds from not finding what you need.

    But besides those two flaws, I had a massive blast of fun: combat is fast, tactical, fun, and there are so much variation and so many skills and arts to unlock on your character - who's the only one who can change class. There are many characters to recruit (19, with one leaving after reaching a certain point in the game) and the skells alone give you a sensation of power and freedom that only old ps1 games could manage: it was so fun to fly around in the skell the first time I had the module and the world has no loading during flight, so it's all seamless - the enemies might take a while though.
    In fact, the game itself is packed with content, so much that it felt like an MMORPG to a point...and that's a bad thing because we all know what happens when an RPG has partial online elements.
    There is a reason why White Knight Chronicles failed back then.

    Overall it's a very solid game, I have no regrets playing it years later and even if the story is weak the gameplay trumps it over and makes it super fun - even jrpgs need fun gameplay before the story, or else just go watch a visual novel. It doesn't surpass the first Xenoblade BUT it's a very welcoming addition and if you own a Wii U, go grab it.

    We might never have a port on the switch so who knows?    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It was somewhat difficult to decide a score for Xenoblade Chronicles X, but in the end, I'm giving it a 9. It's one of my favorite games on the Wii U. I found it to be better than Smash 4, which is also great.. Firstly, the open world. It's just massive. 400 squared kilometers. For a Wii U game, this is a lot. The world also is filled with a lot of enemies of various levels, and they are all mixed, like a real ecosystem. In Janpath lake (located in Primordia), for example, you can find level 20-24 little enemies mixed with giant level 55 "dinosaurs", and a Tyrant at level 92. The soundtrack is also amazingly good (but the names of the tracks are quite weird, such as raTEoREkiSImeAra). Only a few tracks are mediocre, but they are still there. The combat system is a bit difficult to master, but it's really fitting with the vast open world, and when you dominate it to a certain point, it's really fun to battle enemies. A lot of the cutscenes in this game are just amazing, such as the ones in Chapter 8 with the attack on NLA, and those emotional moments with Lao in Chapter 11. The game also has a good amount of sidequests to keep you interested in it while you're not focusing on the main story.

    However, there are a bunch of issues with the game. The story is not exactly great, and most of the characters aren't anything special. Tatsu is damn annoying, and the only great character in the game is Lao. I don't like how you are ALWAYS forced to have both Elma and Lin in your team for main story missions, as, IMO, it prevents other characters to have their great moments. Irina, Gwin, Doug, etcetera could have been way better characters if they appeared more in the main story. I like how the game is complex, but sometimes it feels way too complex, with 6 types of attacks (physical, beam, ether, thermical, electric and gravity) and the feeling that any buffs and debuffs you get is random. The font size for menus is waaay too small. And there is way too much grinding in this game. Regardless of this, Xenoblade Chronicles X on the Wii U is a great game you must own if you have the console. It's vast, addicting, and overall fun.    … Expand

Also makes excellent use of the Wii U's second screen IMO, for map, fast travel, mining etc. rather than inventory.

I suppose that could be explained by all of the main characters being military and having a stoic demeanor, but it doesn't make it better. As for the skells, after the initial "OMG GIANT ROBOT, BEST GAME EVER" reaction wore off, I found myself wishing I was still on foot. Exploring the world on foot makes it feel big and dangerous, while adding the skell removed all of that. In addition, I felt that they made combat less interesting due to the fewer amount of total skills they could use. Picking party members on foot felt fun because everyone had a different class and could do different thing, but in a skell, anybody can do anything.

    I know it seems weird giving a 9/10 rating when 80% of the review is criticism, but those really are the only two things I dislike about the game. The story is interesting, the environments are fun to explore, and the music is great.    … Expand

    Lla historia esta muy bien llevada aunque, personalmente, no me parece una obra maestra, cumple muy bien y engancha lo suficiente como para incluso llegar a tener momentos interesantes.

    Gráficamente es una maravilla que yo creía imposible hacer en una Wii U.

    Técnicamente es... bueno aceptable, no tiene muchas bajas de FPS (aunque si algunas), pero si tiene un grandisimo problema de "Popping", ya que en muchas ocasiones arboles, enemigos, aliados... aparecerán por arte de magia donde antes no estaban. Este ultimo "fallo" (que posiblemente este creado a propósito para que pueda mover el juego fluido la consola) puede llegar a molestar muchísimo.

    Añadir por ultimo, que me da la impresión que esta pensado como un MMO, y por ello tiene sus puntos buenos y malos. Muchas veces toca farmear enemigos durante horas para poder conseguir mejor equipamiento, recursos, dinero...

    I liked X more than the first xenoblade, I don´t know why, the story was very interesting, very good, I hope Xenoblade 2 is as good as 1 and X, also the voice acting was good, sadly I felt there was a lil bit of lip-sync problems

    Xenoeblade Chronicles X is a huge world to explore on ground and in air. Side quest has a lot to do with the story and the side quest connect very well and helps you learn more on each character in the game. Fighting both ways fighting on ground and fighting in the air! Danger is also in the skies. How i feel about this game? I'M REALLY FEELING IT!!!

    I generally stay away from RPGs because I know how much time they consume and require unbroken attention so the player doesn't forget the intricacies of the game's systems, but this game is truly worth it.

On foot there is plenty    I generally stay away from RPGs because I know how much time they consume and require unbroken attention so the player doesn't forget the intricacies of the game's systems, but this game is truly worth it.
    The world is, if I'm not mistaken, the largest non-procedurally generated and non-MMO game world in the history of console gaming, and that's only a good thing. On foot there is plenty to see and do in all areas of the vast planet and when driving a mech, countless new possibilities are open. Not only is the world enormous and packed with content, but there is incredible verticality to it, so it's surface area is even larger than the map would have you believe. The perfect running speed and use of mechs make traversing the world easy and never feel like a chore, which is an amazing design victory.
    The combat system is strategic yet fast paced and not turn based, meaning that it doesn't feel like you're wasting your life playing a game, instead it feels thrilling and exciting, every battle is enjoyable and worth your time.
    The monsters themselves are incredible, the variety is enormous and it's a wonder when you see each one for the first time.
    I played the story alongside many many side quests, so it took a total of 180 hours for me to complete the main story. The flaw in the story is its disappointing pacing. I was immersed in it and really enjoying it until it suddenly ended 180 hours into the game when I thought I was only halfway through.
    Whilst it's a negative that the story ends abruptly and fails to live up to its build up, the truly amazing thing is that after 180 hours of playing, I still thought I had another hundred hours to go and was fully excited to play through it, the game still hadn't gotten old after all this time.
    Besides the story, there are three other flaws:
    The enemy draw distance is quite bad. It's not a problem on foot, but when driving a mech fast, enemies can spawn when you're just a few meters from them causing you to run into them when you don't want to, triggering an unwanted encounter. Fair enough though, the game is graphically beautiful and this is one of the shortcuts that was taken to allow that.
    Another flaw, giant locust type enemies that camouflage themselves and jump out at you... why?!
    Do they not know an enormous amount of people can't stand these kinds of creatures :S oh well, I looked past it as they're ultimately only one of many other creatures, so they're not too common.
    The final flaw: the amount of grinding needed to be able to get the best gear setups is ridiculous.
    Without doing it, you can't face the game's legendary monsters and live to tell the tale, so personally, I ended up passing on this. I never defeated some of the epic monsters I had been seeing as I played the game but it's OK, there's only a handful of these guys out there and honestly they're amazing enough just to look at.
    One last flaw before I forget, before the final boss, you will be asked twice if you'd like to proceed. Say no, and save the game, this is crucial. If you fail at defeating the final boss, you will not be able to go back and change gear or train your character. You will have to fight the boss again as you are until you beat them. If you aren't ready, the only way to go back and change gear or train is to turn off the game and go back to your last save before starting the boss battle. This is a stupid design flaw in the game, really stupid.
    Despite the flaws I've listed, I can't give this game less than 10/10.
    What it does right is just so incredible that this game deserves to be in the top league of all games ever made. I can recommend very few other games as much, let alone more, than Xenoblade Chronicles X.    … Expand

With day-night cycles, weather and event related missions and changes, I'd say even Final Fantasy has something to fear bout against the future releases of the Xenoverse.

Like its predecessor this game pushes the WiiU to its limits. Visually the game is punching above its weight. You can notice where a few concessions had to be made however. Alpha texture resolution can create uneven edges around objects. There are also instances of clipping where a car will pass right through your characters. Despite its few graphical shortcomings however; the game still manages to impress with its sheer artistry and scale. Speaking of scale its been estimated that Xenoblade X is larger than the worlds of the Witcher 3 and Fallout 4 combined. The Witcher 3 could fit in Xenoblade X three times while Fallout 4 could fit inside X's world 5 times.

    The game doesn't hold your hand and it also doesn't pull any punches. The game can be difficult at times but has a decent curve. Some of the menus can be a bit dense and you aren't given a lot of explanation. If there was ever a game you wanted to read the manual or guide for? This is that game. Fortunately the game has a on disc manual that can be accessed from the gamepad. But it can also be rewarding to explore these menus on your own and learn how its systems work with one another.

    You start the game by creating a character of your own. The options are fairly straightforward and get the job done. It is a bit disappointing that even after creating a character to your liking; your character is essentially a blank slate with no real personality to speak of. The story is intriguing though suffers from stiff presentation and dialogue at times. Some of the story missions unfortunately are gated behind side missions.

    The biggest selling point of the game is getting your own mech (Skell). This doesn't happen until 30+ hours into the game but is rewarding once you do. Skells themselves offer different combat and traversal options including the ability to fly. However it comes at a cost. The Skells themselves are expensive and can be destroyed in combat. Replacing them isn't cheap either. In combat your Skell's equipment determines what arts you can use. However like attacking appendages of your enemies in ground combat? Enemies can also attack individual parts of your skell. Once you lose an arm or something, this can prevent you from using a specific art in that fight. So it is imperative to know when to use your skell and when to save it from destruction.

    Overall Xenoblade X is a fantastic game that shouldn't be missed if you are a WiiU owner. The game offers hundreds of hours of content and is easily worth the $60.

    *****SPECIAL EDITION REVIEW*****
    ______________________________________

    I would like to now take this time to review the special edition. The 120+ page artbook is beautiful. The pages are glossy with a varnish applied to certain images that really give it a premium quality finish. The special edition also comes with a matted art card which is very nice. My biggest gripe is with the soundtrack that is on the USB device. The tracks themselves are gated behind a form of DRM that has for some users locked their particular drive. So at the present it is little more than a paper weight. Its disappointing that Nintendo had to implement a form of DRM for a soundtrack we had already purchased in the special edition.    … Expand

    Xenoblade Chronicles X is probably the best game on wii u in my honest opinion!

    Art Design/Performance - The game looks fantastic for a wii u game, the world looks absolutely beautiful and the scale is just huge and you really feel it, You get the odd bit of slowdown, though its nothing to really worry about!

    Story/Music - The story is fairly generic, bad guys vs good guys but the way its done is fairly unique due to the scale and creativity of the world around you, it really stands out from the crowd, the music is actually fairly odd but the good kind of odd! it's different and it works!

    Gameplay - If you play Xenoblade on the Wii then you will feel right at home with the combat and the added class system gives you lots of choice to build your character to your style, though you shouldn't worry too much as you can change your class whenever you like, so experiment and enjoy!

    Exploration is good fun, you could turn a corner and run into an enormous level 99 monster or jump in the lake and collect some of the items that become fairly addictive to chase down, you're given freedom fairly early and this is nothing but a strength.

    Negatives - This game had one huge negative for me, the mechs, the problem with the mechs is the second you get one with a decent weapon there is very little reason to ever leave your mech and this makes the class system completely pointless for the most part, i felt this hurt the game so much that i have to knock off 2 points just due to all my character customisation being made completely pointless and exploration became so easy and free that it lost that exciting factor.    … Expand

    Visually it is impressive, but character animations are a little bit stiff, you won't get many loading screens while exploring, unless you use the fast-travel function and the draw line won't be a problem until you get your flying module for the Skell.

The gameplay itself isn't the deepest an RPG has had but is definitely fun and engaging. The battle system can be deep if you want it to be by defaulting multiple attacks and moves but it is definitely not a complex system. The skell (giant mechs) gameplay is just as enjoyable as on foot gamplay and something about piloting a giant robot around a big open world is oddly charming. The story isn't exactly booker prize worthy but will keep your interest for long enough. The strategical mining simulator played with the gamepad is also a fun distraction but can at times be frustrating. Overall, good graphics, good story, great gameplay and great soundtrack.

    first of all, please understand that this is a game with deep mechanics. those of you who loves monster hunter or dark souls might probably love this game, too. while those of you who loves light gameplay that focuses more on storytelling would most probably rant on metacritics and give bad scores :)

    the grinding, for instance... with proper builds or infinite overdrive techniques, there's actually no need to grind for level in this game. but what about grinding for items?? well, with proper knowledge of drop rates and part breaks, everybody could get an almost certain drop rate -or just use ticket exchanging mechanics in the first place for items with insanely low drop rate anyway :)

    what about the music? well, hiroyuki sawano definitely tried something new here, and i gotta admit that sometimes it just doesn't work at all. but it doesn't mean that the music are bad. most of the songs are pretty awesome when u listen to them on their own. sure, they badly overlaps the character's dialogues at some points, but u could still 100% understand what's going on thanks to subtitles. sure, it's annoying and could be executed way better than this. but saying that the music in this game are bad are just like saying that gordon ramsey's delicious beef wellington tastes bad simply because the waiter served it with the wrong type of wine.

    i'm also a huge fan of the silent protagonist. i'm lovin the idea that -I AM- the hero of this game.
    u could customize Megaman, u could rename Cloud, u could change Shepard's gender. but they'll always be the hero of their respective games, not you. i like those "become a legend mode" in football and sports games, i play mmorpg, i enjoy being the hero of my game. of course, with that comes the problem of believability, sometimes they had to shift the main dialogue to Elma or other characters to do the speaking for you. but it's as just what i said in the beginning: some people who expected storytelling will be disappointed, but monster hunter fans will have no problem whatsoever -we're used to being a silent protagonist.

    most criticisms that i heard are also came from player's inability to grasp the mechanics;
    some say it takes too long to go from point A to point B - hey, there's fast travel.
    some say it takes too long to obtain a skell - how long do u think u could obtain airships in FF games?
    some say u could get OP and this game is IMBA - well it wasn't easy to make those OP builds. and practically when u went those extra miles to make ur character stronger, u will become somewhat OP. and that goes for any game, if u obtain knights of round in FFVII, reached lv99 in any RPG, or unlocked rocket launcher in classic Resident Evil games, u WILL one hit most of the stuff inside that game.

    so yeah, please understand that this is a game with deep mechanics and interesting experimental stuff. for those who gets it, this game is a solid 10. but those of you who loves traditional triple A with light gameplay that focuses more on storytelling should probably pass this one.

    thanks for reading my wall of text,

The story is deep with unespected turns, full of side quests and bid spaces to explore. The most impresive is the few loading screens you find after having your mecha, but you get it quite late in the story line. The online mode works really good, it's an addition that they could save but it's nice that is there.

    Xenoblade Chronicles is otherwise great, but the thin main plot and sheer repetition drop the score. [Jan 2016]
