    This game is Unbelievable bad
    I think In this game all is so badly the monster, the levels, character, and we don't talk about the story. This game is so boring, the farming in this game is horrible because the gameplay is unplayable
    I pay 45$ and this were a lost of time and money, the worst 40 hours of my life.

No, it really feels more like an MMORPG, just offline. 99% of the game is boring sidequests that have nothing to do with the main story but that you NEED to do in order to become stronger to beat the bosses. Also, Shulk is the only character able to inflict damage to the Mekons, the main ennemies of the game, making every other party member practically useless, unless you're hunting bees or birds. Oh, and you have no control over the actions of your other 2 party members and the AI sucks. All you can do is HOPE they'll heal you or try to get the ennemy's attention so Shulk can attack. I don't get the praise this game gets. I gave it a real try but stopped after 73 hours. I told myself I'd finish it no matter what but it was a supplice. Some bosses you cannot defeat unless you got a very specific Monado Art (attack or spells, as they are called in other, better RPGs), and those "Arts" you get from random sidequests, ONE random sidequest hidden amongst hundreds. And it's not necessarily the 1st one the NPC gives you, it can be the 2nd, 3rd or 10th! There is such a thing as too much content, and this game is the proof of it. The music is really good though, so go get the OST, but skip the game. I just saved you several days of your life, days that can be spent in an infinite number of better ways. JRPG fans, this is not your usual JRPG either. As stated above, it's much closer than what you would expect of an MMO or even a WRPG, so really, don't bother. Go play Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Pokémon, Chrono Trigger or any of the Mario RPGs instead, you'll have a much better, fun and rewarding time.… Expand

    I can't believe this game got so many good reviews. I gave it a good 15 hours and I was very disappointed in the "EPIC, AMAZING, AWESOME JRPG". It's total trash. The battle system is excruciatingly boring and dumb. It's the same thing over and over and over. If I wanted a mindless button masher, I would have played God of War. The AI is useless.

    Bear with me, as this review will be completely opposite to popular opinion. So I bought this game from the gamestop 40 dollar pre-owned black friday deal, and I was stoked as I could finally get this game cheap..this rare game that was praised so much.

So I bought this game from the gamestop 40 dollar pre-owned black friday deal, and I was stoked as I could finally get this game cheap..this rare game that was praised so much.
    So I buy it and I play it. The introduction seemed pretty cool: these two robots face off against each other and the humans (or homs or whatever) try to fight off the little robots with this badass sword. That's all fine and dandy. Instantly once the gameplay begins, I start to doubt the game. First off, WHY IS THERE A JUMP FEATURE? The jump only goes horizontally and has absolutely no vertical height whatsoever..so what's the point? Second, the combat seemed awful. All you're doing is pushing the d-pad left and right and pressing A..that's it. Your character automatically attacks the opponent while you just walk around and toggle the sword icons. I figured, fine, maybe there are more mechanics later on. And no surprise there were. However, these mechanics just came off as dull and uninteresting. The triple attack (where the gauge is three bars full) has got to be the dullest thing I've seen. It's literally just the characters attacking with a regular sword swing against the enemy while the enemy can't move..just one enemy..this can't be done with more than one. There's no epic combo with the three or anything, just three separate sword swings...really worth those three bars....
    Not only that, but when you fight the enemy, the characters DONT SHUT THE UP! They keep giving these cheering speeches nonstop throughout the fight. And you can't turn this off, either. So whenever you engage in battle you constantly hear those annoying speeches. Really prevents you from wanting to battle an enemy, really. The ally AI is also complete bullocks as they die so easily while barely doing any damage to the enemy. And when they do die, you have to revive them only if your team gague is one bar full..and only about 1/6th of their health is revived, as well..making it pointless as the enemy could just do another attack and the teammates a goner. And why does the person need to be "motivated" to fight again after they've lost? Really, game? Does any other JRPG do that?
    The game also heavily focuses on grinding. It's a JRPG, I get it, but without grinding the out of your characters, you won't be winning some of those battles. Luckily the game is forgiving in the sense that when you die, you respawn before the battle, so the need to do everything over again is not there.
    Also is it just me, or is it irritating that you can't go inside buildings unless the door is fully open in a JRPG? I mean in every other JRPG, you can go in any house and talk to the folks inside. What's the deal with Xenoblade?
    The characters themselves seem so one-dimensional...maybe it's because I haven't gotten past 2 and a half hours of the game, but they're just...boring. Shulk is just the "I want to beat them and get revenge" Reyn is the "I'm a smug and I'm kind of a clutz" while FIona is the "OMG I care for you guys so much, don't hurt yourselves." And it's obvious from the get-go that Fiona and Shulk are love interests...they really force that. The townsfolk have nothing interesting to say either...and while I haven't done the sidequests yet, I've heard they're chores rather than actual quests.
    The number of tutorials also irks me. I think you can turn it off, but for first-timers, these tutorials are necessary. It's just, there's way too many, and the way the tutorials work is also annoying. Games need to take notes from the 90's and allow the player to teach him/herself the game through the gameplay rather than use 3 paragraph texts for each new mechanic.
    The graphics also make me cringe. For a game that's extremely long and has such a huge world to explore, why are the graphics equivalent to a PS1 title? I know it's the Wii, but the console can do much more.

    You know a game isn't going to be enjoyable when all these flaws are apparent in just the first two and half hours of the game. First impressions are everything, and if you can't woo the player in within the first two and a half hours, then you're really doing something wrong. I just don't see how I could enjoy this game if my opinion on it are this bad already.
    There are some good things though: I love the music to this game..my god is the music fantastic. In fact I'm listening to the OST as I'm typing this review. It's just beautiful. I also love the voice acting; great job on the actors' part. I also think that the story has some promise as some of the cutscenes intrigued me (although the amount of cutscenes (too many) is another problem I have with this game.) But as far as positives go, that's all I can say, really. Not a positive review, but hey it's an opinion.
    I did go back and trade this for the Metroid Prime Trilogy, which I gotta say is amazing.    … Expand

Here's my review of this game: if I had unlimited resources at my disposal, and set out to make the world's worst designed, most frustrating, incomprehensibly idiotic, more annoying than **insert your personal least favorite kids show here**, most agonizing to play, most vapid, and most padded JRPG that my sick mind could come up with, I would fail, because nothing could ever, EVER, beat out this game in any of those categories, and wouldn't even be in the same universe as all of it put together. The worst UI I've ever contended with in any game ensures that equipping your party takes 4 times as long as it should. You have no control over your party members in a combat system that is 100% reliant on comboing and the AI is dumb as dirt, which breaks the gameplay. Regarding the battle system itself, after spending no less than 20 hours on the wiki trying to figure out how it works because the game sure as hell doesn't tell you, I can definitely say it is the most half-baked, absurdly overly-convoluted, braindead, non-functional battle system I have ever seen in my life. The way aggro works breaks the game, literally punishing you for playing. The Monado's very existence breaks the game since you have to have Shulk in your party at all times, lest you get murdered by Mechon that you can't do damage to. Chain attacks are more RNG than skill-based, broken mechanic. Half the things the Monado arts are supposed to do, they don't, which usually results in your death. I can absolutely guarantee, if you think the combat system in this game is good, that you don't understand 5% of how it works, because if you did, your head would be spinning with with the utter insanity of how its twisted spider web of various non-functional mechanics somehow interweave and coalesce into the most deranged mess of broken garbage that I have or will ever see in any game. It also has the worst side-quests in any video game, fight me on that. This game's side-quests make WoW's look like Witcher 3 by comparison. Annoying, imbecilic, deep as a puddle characters that never STFU, especially during combat, of which there are only 7, and not a single one of them is likeable or interesting. I've seen better written characters in Peppa Pig. God-awful story that can't even keep track of itself after it pours on 10 plot-twists that are so dumb, you'd get more narrative poignancy out of most Scooby-Doo episodes. The plot of this game justifies being 25 hours long at most and yet the game is 70 hours. If it's not the most padded game in history, it's certainly close. The open-world is so barren and devoid of anything remotely interesting, just more mobs to fight. The aesthetics of the world are great, but you'll never be able to see them since the game looks like a YouTube video from 2006, and that's being generous. It looks like someone spilled some motor oil on Skies of Arcadia. Literally the entire game is so **** bad it makes me apoplectic. This had to be purposeful. You have to be trying to make a game this offensively terrible. So WTF do people even like about this game? From what I can tell, a bunch of Nintendo kiddies grew up never having played an RPG before after every company jumped ship from Nintendo during the 5th generation, and then they played this: one of the worst JRPGs ever made, but because it was their first, and they bought it with their own lawnmowing money, they loved it. Can't really explain the metacritic reviews though. Maybe they all played Xenogears by mistake. It gets a 2 for the soundtrack and for not setting my console alight. That's about all the praise anyone with a brain could give it.… Expand

    There's a lot more to recommend Xenoblade Chronicles. The dialogue, the humor, the artwork, the prophecy system, the music, the variety of environments, the character progression, the crafting system, the crazy quest density, the quest quality, the memorable characters, the collectibles, the secrets, and so on. This is a landmark achievement in the genre. As of its release, you can no longer talk about great RPGs, or maybe even great games, without also talking about Xenoblade Chronicles.

    Xenoblade Chronicles is the sort of precious jRPG that this recent console generation has sorely lacked. Despite some missteps and over-complication, the game stands out as one of the best in recent years. Xenoblade creates a world simply begging to be explored.
