This game kind of sneaked up on me. I bought this game with zero knowledge of xenoblade whatsoever. The only thing i knew about it was shulk being the main character, knowing him from smash bros. I had completely different expectations, thinking this was an action rpg. At the start i was kind off dissapointed thinking 'MMO mechanics in a single player rpg, tf ? I thought i had just spent my money on a game i was going to hate. I told myself i'm still going to keep on playing for at least 10h just to see where it takes me. Now, somewhere in those 10 hours i started to love this game and i don't even know what the tipping point was ! I'm 30h in now and can't even stop thinking about it while i'm not playing. Great game, fully recommend to any rpg/jrpg fan !

I bought the game with the same knowledge about it: "this is SMBU's Shulk's game". I loved the game since the main screen though. Some thing I kinda disliked later on was the excesive amount of hours you spend on side quests. I finished the game on 147 hours but didn't manage to complete all secondary stuff (I completed around 75~80% of it), it's too much.

I remember when it was just released. You could see a copy or two on store shelves. And most outside of those well aware of the Project to try to petition the localization, didn't have any idea how groundbreaking the game was. It was literally something that seemed like a miracle that they got it running on a Wii. To be fair, even the press wasn't really covering it that much, at the time. They kind of shelved doing reviews of Wii software, by then, as they do when they see the console is in its last year or so. In a way, it was kind of like a total repeat of the situation with Panzer Dragoon Saga. Another game I jumped on at time of release.

I’ve been enjoying all the charachters although Reyn is starting to annoy me honestly, not too bad for now but I don’t want it becoming worse, and the story is heavy right from the start. I’m currently on chapter 11 at the moment, if it wasn’t for work I’d be playing more right now.

After attempting to finish Xenoblade 2 over the last couple years, I really want to beat it before jumping into this one. The series has always been interesting to me, but I just have not for the life of me been able to sit down and complete 2 yet.

Hey... so I loved xenoblades 2.... great story and totally fun. I'm playing xenoblades 1 on switch. And I'm just not digging it. I can't put my finger on why, but the story and charcters just aren't grabbing me like 2. I'm at the part where I meet some girl and her brother (who has the vehicle) Does it get better? Or am I far enough, that if I don't like it. I wont? Thoughts?

Xenoblade Chronicles has been sitting on my switch for almost 2 years and I just started it. I'm a little past the point that you're talking about probably 6 hours and it does get a little better but I'm of the same mindset of you it's just not grabbing me like Xenoblade Chronicles 2 did or Torna

To all the new players out there: the video repeatedly shows the player casting Monado Shield as an opener art. This literally does nothing so don’t do that. Shield’s only purpose is to block a Talent Art so unless you see a vision with the Art text in white and ending with a Roman numeral (Ur Ded VII etc) there is absolutely no reason to ever use it.

omg im so hyped for this. i missed the wii version and attempted playing it on the n3ds and LOVED everything about it but couldn't get past the controls and graphics. I'm not a graphics junkie by any stretch (im a nintendo fanboy) but i felt that it needed to be put on a better console and NOW IT HAS. Even better, Amazon dropped my pre-order price by 10 bux presumably because the game leaked and people are complaining about its "low resolution". I just want them to realize what they're saying and look at the previous renditions of the game. This is going to be JUST FINE.

I say they have more than a couple Sequels. Torna Should Count as its own game Imo. Its 40+ Hrs introduced a new revised fighting system and has its own physical. It is its own game. Its longer and more deep than a lot of full priced games. It almost does it a disservice calling it a DLC add-on. To me I have it on a sepatre cartridge from XB2, So it's a separate game. They should of just called it : Xenoblade Chronicles: Torna The Golden Country and dropped the 2.
