    Best RPG released since the Ps2 Era.

    Perfect game in every respect.
    Completely destroys Failout 4 in every possible aspect. From the character models, all the way to the superior combat system. Xenoblade Chronicles X takes the cake. The foolish and lack of mind will play Fallout 4, and the wise and true gamers will Get Xenoblade Chronicles X.

    If you are looking for a game that baby's you and holds your hand like so many RPG's of this generation have done, then this game is NOT for you.

    This game is designed for truly hard-core RPG players, who love to dig deep into the mechanics of a game to pull out new levels of strength that the average player will be baffled over, and want to aspire to.

    Xenoblade X is probably one of the first games to come out this gen that goes almost entirely hands-off in terms of hand-holding; from the very start of the game, you're free to wander the world as you please and take whatever path you can find to your goals, even if said paths often end up with you being eaten alive by something you didn't expect.

    The most that the game will do, is give you access to a VERY extensive manual, and a few Splash pages to explain general functions at the relevant times.
    Other than that, the game leaves the player to their own devices.

    Some might find this to be off-putting compared to the level of hand-holding they're used to in other RPG's that have become popular this gen, like Fallout and Witcher, while others will remember this just as fondly as they did the classic RPG's of the old days, when exploration was key to self-improvement and the games were not afraid of being hard on their players if they took steps into areas their builds and stats just weren't ready for.
    The difference here is, you can actually circumvent many of those would-be choke points, IF you are clever enough to discover the path around them.
    And once you get a flying Skell, this game suddenly takes the term "See that mountain? You can go there." quite literally, allowing you to basically explore every last nook and cranny of every land mass in the game.

    For exploration nuts, this is literally one of the best games they can buy on the market; each and every continent is filled to bursting with secrets and challenges to find and overcome, and despite the hardware not being at the same level as other consoles, the visuals are gorgeous and the music is atmospheric in every sense of the word. [outside of the rap, possibly]

    The mechanics are deep, and those who love micro-managing and min-maxing their stats and gear will find an experience that rewards their tenacity with God-like levels of power.
    But even for those that do not, simply keeping their gear, classes, and levels up to date will allow them to progress and enjoy what the game has to offer.

    Despite all of these things, the game is not perfect.
    The following points are subject to opinion, but the music is hit and miss, and the lack of volume sliders and Japanese dubs with English subs may be a turn-off to certain gamers.
    If there's anything truly wrong with the game, objectively, it's that you have to go out into the city to find party members that aren't currently with you, and that there is no way of tracking the locations of Collectipedia items. [But then again, that's what the internet and guides are for.]

    But in the end, these small flaws do not do enough to mar the experience to any significant extent, and that's why my final rating for this game is a full 10.

    If you don't own a Wii U and you've been looking for a game that takes exploration to new heights [literally], then you owe it to yourself to get the system and this game.    … Expand

    This game may be limited it some ways, but the things it does well, it does better than almost any other game. The world is one of the most stunning ever created. The battle system is deep and even though you need to look past some things if you are new to xenoblade or japanese Rpg's as a whole. the game still deserves praise for what it bringa to the table.

Si tiene sus peros, pero la verdad son minimizados por las cosas buenas que tiene el juego y la gran experiencia que proporciona al jugador.

    Me atrevo a decir, y en mi opinión muy personal, que es el mejor juego de WiiU que hemos visto a la fecha.

    This game is a godsend, it really is one of the best games I've played in recent memory. Full disclosure, I am not too far into the game yet only about 10 hours. But it's enough to write out some first impressions and give anyone who cares a lowdown of my take on Xenoblade Chronicles X.

Full disclosure, I am not too far into the game yet only about 10 hours. But it's enough to write out some first impressions and give anyone who cares a lowdown of my take on Xenoblade Chronicles X.

    I'm not a fanboy, that is I never played Xenoblade Chronicles for the Wii. The last Xeno anything game I played was Xenosaga and I got lost in the first tutorial area somehow... Anyway, I'm only saying this so you'll know I'm pretty unbiased in terms of the series in general. However, for this game it helps if you have an affinity for JRPGs since there's a lot of common tropes used here.

    With that out of the way, the game itself has so many layers to it that it feels overwhelming at first. It can make you feel a little dumb honestly, with it's textbook digital manual and lengthy tutorial pages. At first I thought maybe it wasn't for me and I wasted my money. But I decided to press on and just wander aimlessly for a while and figure things out on the fly, which worked out surprisingly well! It's so much fun to master your favorite combat style (dual blades and guns for me!), explore the wondrous expanse that is Mira and take it all in. This game is offering a real experience, like a great movie or an engrossing novel.

    But that doesn't mean you should expect a compelling story or characters from what I've seen so far. I'm fine with it because I bought the game for the gameplay, but some might be turned off by some snooze worthy dialogue here and there. Luckily the cutscenes and character interactions seem to be short for the most part! The music is great though, I absolutely love it! Definitely not your typical JRPG fare and helps establish the tone of the game. It makes up for the lack of a great story in this reviewer's humble opinion :)

    What you'll keep coming back for is the very deep combat system and exploration aspects of the game. It's impossible to describe the satisfaction you get from learning the ins and outs of combat, stacking your arts correctly and killing crazy alien monsters. This is why I play video games. I mean sure, we all love a great story a la Metal Gear or Mass Effect or something like that but sometimes you just wanna GAME right?

    Anyway, that's about all I got. Give this game a shot! If you already have a Wii U, this will justify your purchase much like Smash Bros, Mario Kart etc but as a great single player game. Now there's a reason to keep the thing hooked up even when I don't have any friends around to Brawl it out with! Game of the Year contender? Probably not, but that's more because it's been an awesome year for games (Bloodborne) and less because of anything wrong with XBX itself.    … Expand

I am enthralled with the open world game; there is so much to do, between questing, exploring, hunting, and character building. The music is wonderful, the combat is fun, the scenery breathtaking and alien.

    There is so much to learn, picking up this title truly feels like drifting into a whole new world. I recommend giving the in-game manual a good read!

    Some minor complaints about the game: The voice acting is professional, but slow---I would like to see a mass effect style sentence-skipper. The dubbing is obvious, i hope for a japanese voice pack DLC. I wish there were a more integrated questing system with friends, but the current online play is satisfactory. This is largely a single player game, with a few multiplayer missions or world bosses now and then.    … Expand

You now can begin the sidequests at a single terminal rather than having to search for a particular NPC to unlock them, making them more accessible. You can also set any quest as your target for the map to direct you to the right area. The online features also do add to the game, particularly the multiplayer online quests and the global nemises. Sure, the music and story aren't as good as XC's, but they are still great and this game makes up for it with the online content and the introduction of skells, large mechs that make travelling large distances easier, and can strengthen you in combat as well. Overall, it may well be my favourite game of all time and obviously one I would recommend to any gamer, and yes, it is worth buying a Wii U just for this game.    … Expand

    A deep and fresh-feeling open-world RPG that fills a huge void in the Wii U's library. A great evolution of the XC on Wii and N3DS. The second screen elements really bring together the game's different systems. I am only 70 hours into the game but I feel that I will keep coming back to this again and again over the next few months.
