[@DeltathRiylaan]

I don't know if I'd call it under-appreciated. If you consider the size of the playerbase on the Switch versus, say, on all other consoles and PC combined, the Xenoblade games have sold significantly better than things like Final Fantasy XV. Xenoblade 2 pushed nearly 2 million on Switch to an audience of 12 million at launch, while Final Fantasy XV sold 2.5 million on PS4 to an audience of 65 million. JRPGs in general aren't as popular, but Xenoblade has consistently done surprisingly well. We'll see a lot more from this franchise.

I'm around your age and never played a Xenoblade game before. I'm not a very competent gamer, I got through Dragon Quest XI OK but struggling with Final Fantasy X. I'm interested to play Xenoblade but I wonder if it will be too hard for me. Thanks for a great video and being an inspiration for older gamers. 😊👍

[@Food4Dogs]

Hard to say, whether you'll be OK with Xenoblade. I was surprised myself, but somehow the combat style just made sense to me (it's very different from other JRPGs!) and felt comfortable. If you want to try it, I would recommend the original XC game (Definitive Edition).

[@Tuinuiski]

@@Food4Dogs Thank you so much for your reply. Pokemon Shield is just about my speed I think. Rune Factory 4 and Dragon Quest Builders 2 are also fine. I gave up on Breath of the Wild after about 25% of the game. I beat Tale of Vesperia mostly using auto combat, the controls are very hard for me.

[@Food4Dogs]

@@Tuinuiski I do understand. Actually, I find the combat controls in Vesperia awkward myself - you are not alone there. The one thing that actually makes Xenoblade combat 'easier' in a way (I had to get used to this) is that once you initiate your basic attack, your character will keep auto attacking. That's how the game is designed. You just need to keep an eye on the special skill attacks. You can see at a glance which onces are greyed out (cool down time) and which are available. It's a pretty fail safe system IMO, anyway, bc there are only ever a few options you have active. 😃 Dunno if I have explained that well enough .. but, yes, it does take some getting used to. The game has a very slow intro curve, giving you hours in the beginning to familiarise yourself with how everything works. If you want to read up a bit, here's an explanation: xenoblade.fandom.com/wiki/Auto-Attack_(XC1)

[@Tuinuiski]

@@Food4Dogs Sounds quite doable, thank you. Ni no Kuni 1 is another JRPG I managed to get through, rather unique combat system too 😊

I still remember when I first played Xenoblade. I’m from Cuba, so there wasn’t ever a real commercial video game flow due to its politics (but some time ago in Mexico, during my early childhood, I was able to get a Game Cube and Wii). But one time, a cousin of mine, brought me a “ new” 3DS and among the games he got me (including MGS3, Tekken, Pokémon and Mario 3D world), I found Xenoblade. 15 year old me was a bit overwhelmed by the game at first, but at the same time, captured by its beautiful story and presence. It became one of my favorite experiences in gaming. I even got to play X at my best friend’s house at one point, which I loved!! It is very precious to me, even though I never got to play again it since 3 years ago my cartridge got damaged somehow. This video has inspired to maybe go ahead and get the ultimate form on the switch and go back to that world once more! Thank you

Leo not through official means. There are 2 ways that video games get around: Someone goes overseas and gives them/sells them in Cuba or, assuming you have a console, there are people that pirate the console. There were also unofficial sellers that had games on flash drives that they would sell, for PC gamers that is. I’m blessed that I had a source to experience gaming, let alone through the authentic means, especially now that I live in the states. 😁

Xenoblade Chronicles X was the first Xenoblade game I ever played. It was also the first completely open world video game I ever played. I always loved exploring my games as much as I could, but nothing could've prepared me for Mira. The only places you can't reach are Mira's moons and the oceans that lie beyond the game's perimeter. Literally everything else is fair game. My FrontierNav map says I've explored 100% of Mira, but I don't believe it for a second. I find something new every single time I turn on the game. I'm still finding new stuff. I'm just as amazed at the size of the game's world now as I was when I first started playing it. It's just tragic that a world I feel so free in is ironically trapped on the Wii U. I would cry if Monolith Soft could figure out an efficient way to bring X to the Switch. I love X's world so much and I want more people to be able to experience it.

[@Food4Dogs]

We won't give up hope yet. Let's wait and see. "trapped on the Wii U" is a very apt phrase.

[@anothercoda3403]

The infantile writing and vast but empty intro segments killed X for me, despite it being the reason why I purchased a Wii U. I never made it past the city gates. All of that enthusiasm ended up funneling in to Breath of the Wild, which is now in my top 10 games of all time. Does X ever get better than those god awful intro segments?

[@shadow10r43]

@@anothercoda3403 No, you never leave the city and you spend the rest of the game working and doing taxes.

[@shadow10r43]

I really want Nintendo to wait until a more powerful Nintendo system comes along. Not that the Switch couldn't run X, but you know, they might screw it up seeing as how 2 and Definitive Edition turned out. There'd also be quite a bit of work to bring the gamepad features onto the TV and to do online without Miiverse. At that point, why not go all out remake? If it were up to me, I would change Conquest Squads into an fully fledged MMO mode with a better chat/voice chat system. And I'd also change the player cap from 32 to 64... mayyyybe 100. Nobody likes the Switch phone app, so they might as well use it to do something cool. Why not have frontier nav work with it while you play the game? There also seems to be some kinda network the blade members are connected to, so if they basically did a Miiverse kinda thing but for X players, notify about global nemesis stuff and participate in those weapon draw things, doing all that can really you feel like a member of blade. Speaking of nemesis, they should really have more than only two. Now, after beating the game, you'll unlock an epilogue that goes all out. And this epilogue wouldn't be as lame as future connected. A genuine 50 hour story focused continuation so that player don't have to go through that rage inducing cliffhanger. After that, the X universe could possibly end here so that there aren't multiple series for Monolith Soft to juggle at once. Now small things. The tutorial for the game is a little bit non existent. I hear a lot of newcomers starting up the game and getting overwhelmed by the battle system, tyrants, menus and numbers. So if all that were to happen in a future remake of X, it would no doubt become the best Xenoblade game. It already is the best in my opinion, but all that I talked out could make the game even more epic.

[@chandler2581]

@@anothercoda3403 To me, Breath of the Wild's world felt far emptier than X's unless you were in a town, but if you're more into story than exploration, then you might want to stick with BOTW and/or the other two Xenoblade games. A lot of X's lore actually comes from doing side quests, so it might be worth your time to get further into the game and try some of them out. The beginning of the game is rather slow, but other than that and the ending, I thought the story was fine. Then again, I'm more into exploration, so I was okay with less story.

I plan on picking up Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition soon and hopefully I will love it as much as you did. - Some Teenager

[@tmaxofour]

When I got to the XC2 part and said you were able to get into it and just loved it I felt so great because I love Xenoblade 1 and Xenoblade 2 with all my heart and hope that X gets a Switch version one day as well

[@fknchucky894]

My grandma: stop playing and wasting time with those things games of the devil. 😒 This lovely lady: lemme show you the good stuff about Xenoblade. 😊 Maybe yt put this video in my recommendations because I watched the animal crossing lady & I liked it 😂 anyway, it warmed my rancid soul watching you talking with such a passion about it, thanks food4dogs. 🤟😎

[@RaikenXion]

My nans always been baffled by video games, wait until i show her this video lol.

[@kummer45]

I cried watching this. Two times to be exact. It's a warmth feeling that humanity gave me. She knows what she is talking about. She is very precise and her tone is perfect. I miss my grandma so much. This is what the internet had in store for all of us. I hope that this girl have a longer life so she brings this warm feeling for the rest of us. This is a gift that KZbin made me. An unexpected one.

[@snowsoldier413]

I feel like I've searched for AGES and never found someone who appreciates Xenoblade Chronicles X in the same way. I almost feel like your tastes align so perfectly with mine. I miss NLA so much!

[@SpikeykoaLa44]

This showed up in my recommended and can I just say, you are a gift. I feel like I've been blessed watching this video. Love Xenoblade, keep up the fantastic videos! (P.S. you're making me regret not getting the XBCDE collectors edition for the artbook! Wow!!)

[@Druidlover]

Here to rep X because more people should experience the glory of it.

[@TheAbsol7448]

It's a truly amazing game, I've gushed over for years. It still brings me to absolute awe that such a game could be made on the Wii U's hardware. And _such_ an insane level of detail in the world, and all _completely_ seamless... It's one of the best looking games ever made, it's so easy to get completely lost in Mira. It's pretty sad that it flew over a lot of people, many thinking BotW was Nintendo's first big open world. Mira COMPLETELY crushes Hyrule.

[@criticalhard]

We definitely need a switch version, it would sell so good omg :(

[@Gankstomper]

I'd be all over it if it was on Switch. I can't stand using my Wii U though.

[@jaydeejay4166]

I love X and, while I do think it took a few steps back in some areas from it's predecessor, it is my favorite in the series and I adore playing through it.

[@Crackhog]

"I won't show any spoilers" **shows team member 7** Just kidding, great video

[@Food4Dogs]

Nice catch. 😄 I'm pretty immune to spoiler culture - at my age, there are more important things to get worried about hehe - but I do try to not reveal really obvious stuff like plot points etc.

[@signorpaldoni]

You are an amazing woman. Still stunningly beautiful and smart at your age. I am so glad I found this video

[@Gankstomper]

IDK why you put "just kidding", showing her is legitimately the biggest possible spoiler for this game. Your comment was 100% accurate, Seven SHOULD NOT be in this vid.

[@Mario123007]

@@Gankstomper but even so I don't think it should be a deal break for you to enjoy the game lol. I mean even Shulk has 7 in his final Smash in ultimate. This game is literally a decade old btw.

[@RaikenXion]

We forgive her!!

[@dem0yt969]

This was an absolutely tremendous watch. Playing the Definitive Edition now as my intro to the series and honestly blown away so far. Taking my time with this game, I feel lucky that I can go straight to XC2 right after this. Really hope that X comes to Switch to complete the series so far.

[@m0nad0_b0y]

I love that I managed to stumble upon your video. KZbin just randomly recommended it to me. Xenoblade Chronicles as a whole, and particularly the first one, hold a very special place in my heart. Just remembering the story while I was watching your video filled my heart with such good memories, I really want to go back and play it now. It's so nice to meet someone else who's so passionate about this amazing series.

[@Food4Dogs]

Thank you. That's lucky KZbin chucked out that recommendation 😀 - it's very rare for my videos to pop up like that.

[@huntercarvey670]

Wonderful game, looks absolutely gorgeous on the Switch as well. Hope you have as much with it as I've been having! Sending love from Montana in the USA

[@Food4Dogs]

Thank you - and keep safe in Montana.

[@AnimatedEnthusiast]

It brings me much joy to see a series I love so dearly, being enjoyed by people of all ages. Thank you for sharing your story with the series with us! It was wonderful to hear about.

[@xXRagingInfernoXx]

It makes me sad because I wish I could love any game like she has for Xenoblade. When she said she can spend hours in her recliner just looking at the art book, I can imagine that and it’s just so wholesome So happy that KZbin recommended this video!

[@Hannah-hu3tj]

Wow, I never got into this series, but seeing how passionately you talk about the series makes me want to try it out again. :)

[@Food4Dogs]

Hi Hannah, thank you and welcome!

[@spacy7332]

I discovered this channel a while ago and I wanted to say it a really nice channel and I enjoy your videos

[@xx_pit_xx8492]

Seeing this type of collections really hurts me, I couldt get any special editions not X itself because well no wii u. But still seeing that no matter the age(with out offense normally you would think of people playing jrpgs until 40 years old at most) you can be still even more dedicated than the so called biggest fan and such. Also have checked the content this far and I really like it, thanks KZbin this time you did your job. And keep up the cuality content.

[@Food4Dogs]

Thank you. 😊 No offense taken - I know I'm not your "regular" gamer, age-wise, but hey, age shouldn't matter. I love games and I love to share my enjoyment.

[@signorpaldoni]

God bless you, precious one

[@TheAbsol7448]

XCX is _completely_ worth buying a Wii U for, in my opinion. As some bonuses, you get Wii backwards compatibility, Metroid Prime Trilogy on VC, and Xenoblade on VC with GamePad compatibility.

[@DanielRenardAnimation]

My grandmother is put off by the idea of even picking up on "smartphones", because she feels/fears it's just one of those 'new' things that she's "gotten too old for" and is only for the younger generations to enjoy. It really feels good to see there are those who cast aside such thoughts, start a collection they feel passionate about, as well embark on the journeys that they have to offer. Very pleasant video to watch and listen to! 😊

[@SmithBoi1991]

Your video just showed up in my recommended feed, glad I have come across your videos! Your passion for gaming shines through, great content, keep it up!

[@hauntedhotdog]

This is the best, most wholesome video I've seen on KZbin in ages. It's so nice to see someone just talking about games because they love them, rather than how a game, or criticism around a game can be politicized one way or the other. Simple, personal, and honest. Subscribed.

[@Food4Dogs]

Thanks and welcome. 😊

[@Falroth]

Glad to hear you're a fan. OG Xenoblade 1 on the Wii has been my all time favourite game since 2012

[@scroptels]

people make it a big deal to see an old lady that's into games (and i too get surprised) but it's really not that strange, I know some very awesome old people who are very cool and i can relate with. Still, this is amazing! Looking forward for more.

[@Food4Dogs]

I'm so happy to hear that. It really isn't a big deal. 😀 We should all simply pursue what we're passionate about, regardless of "public perception". And I see another Summon Night Twin Age fan ... 🙋‍♀️

[@randallmart92]

@@Food4Dogs I agree 😁! Ill be playing games until i go blind or lose the use of any of my major senses lol.

[@lionec226]

It IS a big deal if you consider not so many ladies of her age are really into gaming. Sure casual games on cell phones are often played by any age category. But talking about Xenoblades like she does, so well with so much acknowledges about the series is very rare and I have to confess I'm impressed and happy to see she exists in this world 😊

[@Food4Dogs]

@@lionec226 Yea .. I definitely have a problem when I mention playing RPGs to other retired ladies in my neighbourhood ... Big Silence. 😂👵

Thank you for putting together such a complete overview of the xenoblade chronicles series! I fell in love with XC2 and am now loving Xenoblade 1 as I play the remake for the first time. I really hope X gets ported to the switch in some way because I never owned a Wii U and missed it. Thank you for making my day better! Best, Danny

Yess one of my favorite games ! I started on 3DS so the graphics are sublime on the Switch !!

[@Starkride48]

Hearing your perspective on this series was really interesting! You have an obvious love for these games. Xenoblade is currently my second favorite series behind only Trails (I love the Mishy behind you!). They're all really special games with enormous and beautiful environments to explore, and the story and characters of the first game in particular are something special. It makes me happy to see the series going so strong currently. Here's to hoping we get a 3 or X-2 someday!

[@Food4Dogs]

Absolutely. Trails is equally amazing. And Mishy rules! 😄

[@LuisD.Guitar]

There's a reason i've only played this game 1 time from start to finish around 6 years ago and consider it my favorite game of all time. I just love to listen to its music.
