Why you Should Play Xenoblade Chronicles X

[@plufim]

Xenoblade X is probably the most convincing Alien world in videogames. Makes Anthem look like a joke.

[@mrpyrostorm3165]

It's funny when I first saw that Anthem trailer I thought that they were just ripping off Xenoblade X. Now we know they were just fumbling along and had zero direction.

I loved that I could get through the whole game without having to fight with any non-hostile indigens.

You bring up a great point in regards to XCX's story. We've basically been conditioned at this point to judge a JRPG's story mainly by its main plot. However, XCX doesn't do that. Sure, there is a main plot about finding the Lifehold core and fighting the Ganglion, but that's merely one little thread out of many. XCX's story as a whole is about humanity's survival and adaptation to this world, and just about everything you do in the game relates to it in some way or form. It's honestly a more subtle piece of storytelling that I really appreciate.

[@heavylobster4339]

My main issue with X's story is how it just feels unfinished. It does a good job of setting up the world, but it's pretty clear that there was so much more planned and they had to cut it back to get the game finished. I'd like to see the story completed, but it does have the issue of feeling like it's part 1 of a trilogy, and Xeno- stories pretty consistently have their biggest payoffs toward the very end, which also showed up in Xenosaga with 3 being the best-regarded of the 3 in large part due to this. Honestly my main problem with X is the lategame grind rather than the story, which does its job for what the game is.

[@MrSentinel07]

Oh, I certainly agree that XCX plays like a foundation game, setting up plot points to be answered in later games. I just feel like, in spite of that, XCX's story still offers enough to be a satisfactory experience despite the myriad of remaining questions.

[@ikaruga24]

@@heavylobster4339 To me the story is complete as it is. Why? Because the game tackles theology, philosophy, morality and you simply don't want a definitive answer to questions like "is there a God?". The game is fairly open to such questions and it makes the best of it without leading you in any specific place. It's yours to interpret. I believe that works as a strength for the game.

I agree that the characters get much more development in the side missions than they do the main ones. However, I don’t really know if that’s a “legitimate” way of character building, for lack of a better word. Fire Emblem Fates did the same, and people railed on those characters too. I guess the best way for me to describe it is that it’s counter-intuitive. Building cool characters but leaving them behind optional content just seems like an odd choice to me.

[@eseph_agen]

@@monadoguy3386 yeah but if you like the characters you should want to find out more and go out of your way to do their quests. If you just put on your blinders and railroad the whole game sticking to the story then maybe the issue is that the game just isnt for you.

Easily the most amazing open world ever created. I actually don't think the Skell combat is all that bad, but it's a bit like a second battle system. For example you can build mechs that are specialized to attack in different elements which can be important for some superbosses. You can attack all appendages at once etc. Actually had a lot of fun building different types of super mechs.

Can’t say X has bad music when there’s *Noctilum theme*

[@scheyeguy2479]

One of the most impactful moments in any video game came from Xenoblade X. There’s this one side quest in Noctilum where you come across a downed helicopter and it’s crew. When you approach them, they ask if you’re willing to help them. If you agree, they assume you’re a mechanic, and ask you to pick one wire to cut in order to get the helicopter up in the air (a cliché but a good one) I don’t remember which one I picked, but the helicopter started up, I got the indication that the quest was completed, and I moved on. Later that day, as I was walking through NLA, I overheard a conversation about a helicopter that short circuited and crashed just outside of NLA. My heart dropped, and I rushed to the crash site. Once there I found a group of Reclaimers among the wreckage. I asked what happened, and they said that due to a poorly-chosen wire cut. My decision had an impact, and a terrible one at that. I later learned that because the helicopter’s crew died, I’d locked off certain side quests. Up until that point I’d never had an experience in game where I’d felt so responsible for something happening in game.

[@callisto1234]

This is going to be a long one... X is my favorite xenoblade of all, i played xeno 1, x, and 2. of all of them, its the game i come back at least once a year to do a FULL playthrough, missions (i hesitate to call them missions as they are so much more than that) and all post game content. i'vs been doing this since the games release... till now i finished it about 7 times...i've never done this for any other game before. Lets get to why i like it and why you might like it too. 1- the story. Yes i know others might have told you its not too story driven but i don't think thats entirely true. The story is light aside from main missions giving you time to explore the extensive continents of mira - and die a lot- BUT the game actually hides its best story elements behind "side missions", which are in fact more like full on stories on their own. Why hide it if its so good? dunno, maybe they were trying to not tie down the players and let them explore. This method of hidden exposition reminds me of dark souls. My point is these side missions reveal a lot about the world you're in, the aliens and the mentality of humanity. Its deep, its very dark at times and can really make you disgusted by what you see and hear....basically, it makes you think philosophically. 2- the gameplay. Its pretty damn satisfying if you know what you're doing, its faster paced than then the other games and requires more movement, especially when fighting the bigger foes. there's a focus on teamplay chaining attacks together as its one of the only ways to heal, increase your damage and effectively destroy enemies. There's a monster hunter style element to the combat, most enemies have targetable body parts, breaking those can stop them from using abilities, reduce their armor, interrupt their attacks etc.There's also skell (giant robot) combat which brings more options to the table . It is however not an easy game. the game does not handhold you for very long, some fights are usually pretty unfair too, you could be exploring, enter a cave and get ambushed by 15 man-eating scorpion things just because. The various advanced combat systems are not well (if at all) explained in-game and require clarification online, so keep your phone handy. For example, an enemy could do a move, get a buff you don't recodnize and then one shot you after your next attack, only to later realise he put up a "reflect physical attacks" buff that made you kill yourself lol. You WILL die a lot and in succession. It can be quite unforgiving as their is no healing system making you rely on the soul voice system, which means you have to synergize your party's arts to make them "click". In combat you and your party have to handble buffs, debuffs, auras, ranged and melee attacks, its very satisfying. 3- Customization. The silent protagonist was a bit of a sad thing for me at first, but... our MC has SASS sometimes, jesus...I wish they went more with a Dragon-age inquisition type protag but whatever. You create you MC, make him/her look however you want, and choose his voice in combat ( male Rebel voice is my absolute favorite voice, followed by Classic voice which is the voice of shulk/fiora). In-game you get armor from the shop that changes the way you look, like in an mmo, but some missions can offer you fashion outfits and theres A LOT of those from hoodies to suits, jeans glasses, scouters, bikinis swimsuits, leather jackets . the coolest part is that you can wear those over your combat gear like a transmog to take out foes with maximum swag. Customization isnt limited to character styles but also combat builds, which includes arts, skills and class. Want to make your MC or a party member more of a ranged character? go ahead, more melee or debuff focused? depending on the class, its possible, some party members have their clear strengths but your MC is Wild and free of limitations, able to aquire all classes and builds. 4- The party members. Some might say that they're boring, but i would say that they're more "human" compared to the over the top characters of other games in the series. They have weird quirks sometimes... but they still feel like people. they fear, they love and hate, they panic and despair and equal mesure, some of them are also going through very hard psycological periods and it shows when their bottled up emotions just explode. To me at least, they feel genuine, they have that bit of akwardness in them sometimes when they converse which makes it feel more alive, despite not being struck with 8 grader syndrome. 5- the music. GODDAMN ITS GOOD! some tracks you love or you hate...then love anyways. some tracks make you feel like you're lounging at home with some friends, others makes you feel like you're an unwelcomed alien, others still make you feel a damn badass than can take on the world like The key we`ve lost ----------­ kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5inY3SugLWshJI HAVE YOU EVEN HEARD OF MELANCHOLIA??! kzbin.info/www/bejne/e564lqSDo7ygers THATS JUST THE GAME MENU SONG TOO! If you have a wiiu, get a physical copy, dont get it from the online store. if you dont have a wiiu, ask a friend that isnt using his and get the game. Lastly i would recommend avoiding trying to get the gaming experience by watching videos, its one of those game that you really have to hold in your hands to feel the freedom it gives. you could also wait for a switch port, but right now thats unlikely.

[@NickCapron]

Amazing game, playing through it for the first time over the last few months, it has been a blast.

[@urdad1984]

Ill sum it up...bc its the best xeno

[@DMT-ix9zj]

For me this is best Xenoblade game. its insane : combat/music/massive open world/characters/enemies. great video ty for loving such a great game that touches so many of us.

[@JoeyKastelic777]

If you're looking for a good time, X gon give it to ya.

[@serranity4436]

Still play this game to this day, favorite game of all time and I honestly think it deserves way more recognition

[@the_clawing_chaos]

I will play it, once it gets its inevitable switch release!

[@ProdTokyoX]

This video was very well made and hits most of the points. The only two things I saw wrong was that there are a decent amount of healing in the game from both auras and "Smooth Recovery and L's move, etc" and lastly, there are a couple enemies that you can't fight on foot due to their distance

[@devbyrd1]

I could talk for hours about how amazing this game is

[@kimeugene8907]

X was my first Xenoblade game and it was the gateway to the others. While I may prefer the stories of the numbered games, X’s world and gameplay will always remain in my heart. Plus, Skells are cool. Can’t go wrong with giant robots.

[@pheenic]

please play x like PLEASE. yes its different than 1 and 2 but it’s still an amazing experience. plus it has Elma. ;)

[@thechickenmaster6543]

We both know tatsu is best girl

[@CosmicKenza]

We’re so back

[@sownheard]

X has the best world design ever and I love the free running and combat and the planet and the characters are great. The music is amazing. I still love to listen to the songs. This is the perfect game where one should enjoy the ride and take in the planets gorgeous visuals

[@Nanomaroni]

I started playing Xenoblade X around January 21. I remember preordering the game for my Wii U but never had a good time frame to play it. I also wanted to finish the first XC on the 3ds but never did it. I am at Chapter 5 now but I got interrupted with my GF giving me XC:DF on the Switch. Now I got 40+ hours on it and I just entered Valak Mountains. Man these games are giant Masterpieces of Art!

[@unknownindividual210]

Everyone will play this in a few months, and they will know why Xenoblade Chronicles X is the best game in the series

[@VentusBrawler]

Hello everyone! Thank you Luxin for a fantastic video that really spoke to my heart about my favorite game of all time. I'm gonna drop this here as a pitch for Post-Miiverse Lifehold, the largest Xenoblade Chronicles X online community that still actively plays the game, after the end of Miiverse. We're a bunch of people that still play the game and try our best to optimize and learn new stuff about it even now, while having fun at the same time. If you're a veteran or you're new, it doesn't matter since all are welcome. I'll farm and try to treasure deal gear for newer players, or we can get some good RP runs on T Plume with a veteran group. I love Xenoblade Chronicles X. It's not just my favorite Xenoblade, but also my favorite game of all time. It's really disheartening to see it getting a lack of attention from most people, particularly since most people didn't care to give the game a chance (I guarantee 97% of people that say X has bad characters haven't even unlocked half of the playable characters). Come check us out and join the X community if you're interested; that'd really make my day. discord.gg/rguPXPn

[@sinom]

Yes. X definitely NEEDS a sequal. 1's story was over. 2 is a good story but it isn't really a necessary sequal. X needs one though.

[@33link333]

I may be an out layer in this fandom as X is my favorite and 2 is my least, but I will just say that i love all 7 of these games even though i like to complain about 2, but that is not what this is about. X is my favorite because unlike any of the other Xeno games it's the only one where I can just get lost in the world and feel immersed in a way few games allow me to, and that is a really special feeling for me, and most everything about X just weave together to create this world that in a lot of ways feel more real them most other fictional universes. X'es is a cruel world where people and dreams come to die and a world filled with distrust and deceit, but it is also a beautiful world, one filled with hope for a better future however faint, despite the overwhelming odds. That's how I feel anyway. I'm not good with words but I hope I have been able to express a part of what makes X special to me, and I really hope people who haven't before given this game a chance will. because as a certain man once said "This world is a fine place and worth fighting for and I hate very much to leave it".

[@Ferodra]

The combat never really looked amazing to me, but when you play it yourself, it's a whole different story. Especially when you start to understand the deeper mechanics.

[@FlareVortex]

I just finished Xenoblade X a few days ago for the first time, and the ending cliffhanger made me want nothing else but Xenoblade X2

[@rickydargence5948]

Wish I could play 2 with X's movement style, the way Rex and friends move around in Xeno 2 feels stiff as hell, while in X just running and jumping around is very fun, guess having the characters run faster and jump higher means having to create bigger worlds and I think that Xeno 2s develpment was hindered a little bit by Monolith working on BotW.

[@TheWolvesDen]

No game has better movement to me than Xenoblade X

[@GhostEchoX17]

Im newish to the game. Bought a wii u last December just to play this game. Is still the only game I own a Wii U and was completely worth it. I just unlocked the flight module today and its amazing!

[@thechickenmaster6543]

I literally bought my wii u just to play xenoblade x. Its one of my favorite games and i have over 5 accs with in total 600+ hours in all of them

[@isaackerr2793]

Oh man did I enjoy playing X. Exploring Mira is one of the most magical experiences I have had in my ENTIRE life. I CANNOT say enough good about how good the exploration is. One thing about combat Luxin didn't mention is the Limb Break system. Good god I love the Limb Break system. Its so satisfying. Do you try to break off parts of the enemies body to deny them their powerfull attacks, at the cost of dealing less damage to them? Or do you try and burn them down? I love the layer of strategy it adds. The secondary cool downs were also a very fun addition, adding an extra layer of strategy to when to use your arts. Everything Luxin says is true. You all need to play this gem of a game.

[@KrazyBean14]

I honestly think this is the best game in the series gameplay wise. Obviously XC3 is on the horizon but for now I definitely have more fun playing this game compared to XC1 and 2. (I'm also playing it on Cemu Emulator and holy shit it's gorgeous)

[@phath2007]

300 hours invested and never passed chapter 10 because I didn't want it to end! Thanks for doing this video

[@gio_setsuna]

Interestingly enough X was the first Xenoblade game I played although not the first I was introduced to the goes to Xenoblade 1

[@jessejkulchacunningham5062]

XCX is just as good as any other in the series and just about my fav one in the series.

[@AdamTheGameBoy]

This is still the best game made so far to me. The story is amazing, it is all about showing you the world and characters rather than telling you a story. X asks you to engage and demands you think about your opinions of issues. Also Lin is worse than Tatsu.

[@NemXX2]

I love X more than 1 and 2. This is because i was a Xeno fan before chronicles. I like chronicles a lot, but X is a true sucessor to the Xenogears and saga series. Mechs and a space opera in particular were a defining feature. Still waiting for an enhanced port or sequal.

[@AliceMDiamond]

Xenoblade X has L, and the fact that I can strip him down and take a look at his rigid turquoise physique is enough to get a 10/10 from me

[@elfmonster1476]

Sounds like an asscave thing to do.

[@moritamikamikara3879]

Its been a while since I played Xenoblade X, so suddenly I think of death note and I start to question your sanity

[@cesarswc13]

and today its its 5th anniversary! having said that I sure hope now that definitive edition is out I sure hope they are finally getting to work on X for the Switch.

[@reddragon_2349]

Good thing I just finished all the side quests in ng+ Xenoblade 1

[@wutmagna7222]

Coming back here after Xenoblade X Definitive Edition got announced for the Switch to hype myself up.

[@ClearedDruid32]

I just beat x a week ago what timing

[@GayMiku]

As someone who played a fuck ton of XBCX and felt like it was missing something this game gave me some intense nostalgia for this game and also made me appreciate it even more, been watching your stuff on auto play thanks for making all these great xenoblade videos

[@donchaskon]

This game... have all the recomendation than i can give to a game.

[@CatOnTheCouch]

The Doll/Skell totally sold me on this game, there was even a model kit for the Formula, and it also transforms! The Western release already has all the Japanese DLC content included, a rarity for a game of such scale. It has data packs to speed up the load time, that's some great player support there. The asynchronous online interaction works quite well; you are not forced to stay online, and you are never locked out of any content regarding your connection status. This game has heart, and is a true beauty for those that understand it.

[@vikurtz]

We've put something like 1000 hours into X over 3 100% playthroughs. It's a GOOD GAME. PLAY IT!
