- Pick up Xenoblade Chronicles X on Amazon: www.amazon.com/...
Wow! This video was a lot longer than expected! I had to cut so much out to keep it under 20 minutes! I wanted to do a lot more comparisons between XCX and XC. In addition some extra interface features I didn't enjoy.
Either way, I hope you enjoyed this video! :)

Ace Attorney opened me up to point and clicks and visual novels. Now I'm really into detective games
Also Lady Pelvic, how did you feel about the side quests and the social issues they brought up, such as betrayal, greed, racism and murder!
I loved them personally, and I even kept a running score for all the NPCs that were killed in my wake, spoiler, bodies hit the floor.
+Big Z I liked the side quests that had thought put into them. One of my favorite side quests is when you're sent to exterminate some baby monsters, but the mother monster goes to stop you, you kill the mother and then realize she was only protecting her kids THEN you have the option to kill her babies.
I like how they showed the progressive struggle of co-existing.
@6:38 only Lady Pelvic would match her nails with her Wii gamepad. Amazing!
Be nice if this game and Xenoblade Chronicles would come to the switch so I can play them💞
Well, your halfway there!
One of my favorite things about the game was you getting to pick what food to eat between story chapters. It was such a small thing, and largely to set up some gags, but it was still such a cute touch. I also loved the one alien race that was obsessed with frozen pizzas. me too, aliens, me too.
This game's music is straight out of Attack on Titan
TP stands for Tension Points! XCX went with more of a right-brain chaotic/emotional style and story which confused tons of fans versus the more traditional left-brain orderly/logical style that the first XB employed.
Feeling your style and subscribed!
It's insane how much information you were able to get out in under 17 minutes. Takes me 15 minutes just to say hello. I grabbed this a while back but am waiting to complete the others first, but I might have to pop it in to listen to more of the music -- I was tapping my foot to that last tune.
Thanks! Had to cut a lot out BUT I hope people still got the jist! These games are quite the time sink. So make sure you're ready!
The last song is one of my favorites! It plays when you're fighting a MAJOR boss.
I might have to give it some more time. Took over 80 hours to complete Divinity Original Sin. Felt like a (lazy) marathon.
An 8/10 feels right to me. My take on Xenoblade X - as a story, it's wafer thin. As a game, it's frequently clunky and aggravating. But as a virtual space to inhabit? Superlative. Mindblowing. The standard other games ought to aspire to. The five continents of Mira are spectacular, vast, dynamic, mysterious, atmospheric, perilous and beautiful. I've never played another game with a world which felt so exciting just to *exist* in. The idea that Monolith might bring that feeling to a more conventionally narrative-driven game in Xenoblade 2 makes me weak at the knees.
I disagree with you on the story I really liked it and was a great throwback to xenogears and xenosaga epically the end game twist on elma Huge throwback to kosmos to xenosaga. a lot of the real story and character development is hidden away in affinity missions and red question marked side quests. if you don't know tetsuya takashki (game creator and monolithsoft director) has been trying to make a game trilogy for years now with examples being xenogears and xenosaga but were cut short due to the publishers (square and namco) xenoblade chronicles was a experiment for monolithsoft to break out of their Si-Fi shell and try something new (this new bing fantasy) After the great reception from the first xenoblade nintendo had more faith in the company prompting them to give them a higher budget and takashki felt as if nintendo was their home for good now thus giving him the confidence to start another trilogy. in an interview Takashki said that X was a developmental experiment as X would be their first HD game and they wanted to figure out how to make a big complex world before making a grand story to complement it second. in other words this games story is pretty much a part one to a whole trilogy and if you haven't done so yet I'd advise you go back and do every affinity mission as you can as the next game will probably figure that you did already. great Review tho!
I never really cared for the main story of X. I was mostly there for the stat building and exploration but the side quests were a pleasant surprise. The amount of quests with subtle but permanent changes to the game world vastly improved my experience with the game and easily pushed it to be one of my favorites. Even after 300 hours just thinking about exploring the world again makes me want to go back.
MechaKnightDX The exploration is what held this game up for me. The world was so large and had so many secrets to uncover!
Possibly my favorite game of all time.
I actually really liked the story. Maybe its because I have yet to play the first Xenoblade and don't play to many JRPGs. And I'd be lying if I said I wasn't excited for a sequel lol. Anyway, looking forward to your Bayonetta review. :)
+ig21100 Ahhhh okay! Yeah, after playing Xenoblade Chronicles then playing a game like this that has the same name . . the story was a HUGE flop. Plus if you don't play a lot of JRPGS then it could be refreshing for you!
Thanks for watching! :)
Story is good enough, the world itself is beautiful. I wish it was actually on pc for the graphics. I want to see it in a fully detailed state.
@@gagongflip389 have you seen the videos of the 60fps PC emulator gameplay?
I'm afraid this will never get a sequel since Xenoblade 2 is a whole new story.
The vocals in the songs is emulating a TV action Drama. When I caught that it all mDe sense...
Nice review and I feel the weaker story (although still good imo) and not much character development problems would be fixed in the sequal
You gotta play the side quest with the hand shake for character developement.
I actually didn't have a problem with the ending, after everything thing we experienced in the game I think it fit the tone properly, & can't wait to see what Monolith Soft will have to offer us next. On a side note if anyone's played Xenosaga for the PS2, that franchise had 3 games in the series, so it kind of didn't surprise me that with X as well as the story revelations, that they wouldn't to expand this series further.
+Anbu Blacc I completely missed out on all the Xenosaga goodness. So any kind of references went over my head. I hope the second one steps up it's game, but I still would of rathered an entirely new game. New characters. New world. New everything. Again, I hope they really bring the heat in the second game.
Actually battling on foot FAR surpasses skell battle if done right, you can kills massive tyrants that even the area can't on foot. But love the video!
YEAAAH BOI. THE BIG REVIEW IS HERE.
+The Real Isaac only took freaking FOREVERRRRRRRRRR
+Pelvic Gaming #worth
I hope i see you on TV someday. You are really talented.
I put a ton of time into this game, too. It's a great setting, Monolith are so good at making a world that looks lived in, but this game is soooooooo dense with content. It feels like there's always so much more.
I will say, with all of the games out there that put obnoxious waist-high fences and otherwise stop your mobility, it is soooo fun to run and leap huge distances in this game.
I think the ending felt a little bit like Mass Effect 3's ending (PLAY THAT TRILOGY). I'm looking forward to the sequel not because of the story because I'm betting it'll be on Nintendo next console, and if they managed to make that massive and badass an open world to explore on the Wii U, I can't WAIT to see what Monolith does with some much stronger hardware.
As for a game that made me broaden my horizons, I'd say Forza 4. It made me less immediately turn away from driving sims. I'm not a car guy, so I never really cared much, but when I played that (it came with my Xbox 360) and was able to upgrade a Ford Fiesta identical to mine to the point where I was out running Corvettes, I decided that maybe they're not all that bad. =P
+Stephen Deck I'll MMMMMMMMMAAAAAAAAAYYYYYBBBBEEEEEEE play it. :P
I'll probably end up playing the sequel because I mean... I already put this much time into it, might as well find out what happens...
I'm not really a big racing fan unless it's Mario Kart or Mod Nation. But maybe I'll have to play this 'Forza 4' to change my mind. Heh heh. :P
For that "Futuristic Sound" Deltron 3030 should have been in the OST lol anyway Awesome review :D
You are getting so great with your editing !! So proud of you! Enjoyed the video, looks like something I really want to play.
So what made you just want to go with the single overall score vs the multiple scores?
+Shado Cris Thanks Cris! ^_^
The break down took waaay too much time, and considering I was just repeating myself there was no point to continue it.
This is the one I’m still hoping they bring to Switch. I was challenged by but ultimately loved Xenoblade Chronicles 1 and 2.
Never give up hope
Which Xenoblade would you recommend playing first?
I highly recommend the Mass Effect Trilogy! A quick word of advice though if you do tackle it... The first game can come off a little archaic in its combat system but stick with it as its very rewarding. Also I recommend playing a soldier with assault rifles to make that first play through easier. And it will also allow you to max that weapon out so you can use it with other classes, should you choose to play a second time.
By the time you get to the 3rd game make sure to download the extended ending. I also highly recommend playing all 3 and not skipping the first 2 games as there are so many choices you will make that show up in the next installment both big and small. If you go the dark horse comics route, you will make basic choices and miss a lot.
One of my all time favorite RPG's! Play it on PC or 360 if you can. PS3 had some serious frame rate issues in the first game and some annoying sound glitches in the 2nd game.
I will be looking forward to a review!
+Shawn Cotnam Hmmm... If you want amazing everything then Xenoblade Chronicles... but if you place Xenoblade Chronicles before Xenoblade Chronicles X you're gonna be dissapointed in the story. Cause XCX story was weak sauce. XCX overall isn't a bad game but coming from XC it's certainly fell back.
I hear it's great! I really do. And thanks for the tips cause I have no idea what I'm getting into with Mass Effect. Sadly I'm not into PC gaming for the most part. And same with xbox so I'm suck with PS3! Maybe they'll fix it and port to PS4? Since it's pretty much the time of the remakes/remasters...
+Pelvic Gaming Thank you. I will probably play them in order just then because lol.
I finished the ME Trilogy on PS3, so it is definitely doable! Just have some patience for the first games flaws. In truth the first game was my favourite of the 3.
+Pelvic Gaming EA did say they wouldn't be doing any remastering but you never know. I hope they do!
Great review. Clear and detailed. Subscribed
Skye Turner thank you so much! :)
going to start in this week wanted to finish MGS5 Witcher 3 and Platinum bloodborne before going into this massive game can't wait. GREAT REVIEW as usual keep it up.
+9TO5G4MERS Dang, that's quite the list you got going on! I hope you enjoy it! ^_^
Thanks for watching!
Can't wait for your review of Xenoblade Chronicles 2.
It will be out this Friday!
Pelvic Gaming Whoah nice! I'm 180 hours in and I'm still not done lol. I'm looking forward to it.
I beat the game at 193 hours. (I did a lot of side quests, but the main story is easily beatable within 60-80 hours) Hahah.
Pelvic Gaming Yeah, I held off on the story to try and get all my Blades maxed out. I hope u got KOS-MOS! I'm still missing her and Kassandra, sadly.
This was my 1st xenoblade game and for the longest time I had no idea how to heal.
Its funny how you ask what game opened us up to new things AND mentioned you don't like sci-fi bc...I don't like sci-fi either BUT...Dead Space opened me up to it. That game did such an incredible job creating a believable future and situation. It somehow fused horror (my fave game genre) and sci fi (2nd least fave theme, fantasy being my absolute least fave) in a way that was not only scary and effective...but also just immersive and enjoyable as all hell. The series started jumping the shark as soon as the sequel imo (Extraction on the Wii/PS3 is really good though) but man that first one is just SO damn spectacular and really allowed me to give sci-fi a fair shake.
All that being said...thanks for reviewing Xenoblade Chronicles X bc...I just couldn't ever bring myself to play this thing. Its too big, too long, just too TOO. Haha just way to much going on.
If Ima play any Xeno game it'll be Chronicles 1 on the 3DS...for some reason I'm real interested in a downgraded version. Haha
Great review!
I liked MOST of the soundtrack/music too, it was composed by Hiroyuki Sawano who is pretty well known for his anime stuff! (Attack on Titan, Aldnoah Zero, Kill la Kill) Because of his particular sound certain fights felt like anime battles to me, especially with how your party is constantly talking to each other mid-fight.
The track that plays when you're in New LA though...bleurgh.
+Sam Buckingham Thanks!
THAT makes sense. PERFECT sense actually! It did have an anime feel!!! Oh man I can totally hear the Kill La Kill now!!
Yeah I wasn't particularly fond of the NLA music...I did like the Manon ship though! :D
+Pelvic Gaming So now you like mechs, and Sawano's stuff...have you watched Aldnoah Zero? Check itttttttttt aaaaaaat!
Sam Buckingham Ahhhh and my anime list continues to grow! *explodes*
Very nice review! I like it you compare this game with the original XBC for Wii, because I love that game and just a handful of people know it, specially here in Brazil.
About the game (XBX), I think the main issue people have with the story is the change of perspective and scope. I'm not criticizing or anything, I'm just saying that not being the special one, with a special weapon who needs to defeat the ultimate villain may have been a major turn off to some people. I personally like this change, it felt refreshing for me.
Another thing I love about this game is how it works for different kind of players: if you wanna rush the story you will have a 60-80 hour run through, with 8 playable characters, 4 AMs, not being able to change your avatar and placing extra slots in your weapon. But if you wanna see it all, my friend, the game challenges you the most. I was really positively surprised with some affinity quests storylines, take Hope's for example.
And the post-game mechanic is just too good. I mean, I don't like when games have "new game plus" features, I just feel dumb doing the same things, going to the same places only 70 levels higher. Makes no sense to me. But after you complete the main story in XBX you still got the whole planet Mira to explore, and many side quests to solve, items to develop, etc. Simple concept, but works perfectly for me.
As for your question about games that opened horizons, mine was Deus Ex (the original game, released for PC in 2000, I think). I would strongly recommend it to you as well since you are willing to go deeper on Sci-fi. It's a cyberpunk RPG/FPS game (believe me, it works perfectly) with deep story and great philosophical, ethical, moral and political questions. There's also many ways to complete quests (you can complete the game without killing anyone, for example). In my opinion, it is the best game I ever played.
If you love the music in this, the Attack on Titan soundtrack is right up your alley.
I really like this review, you basically covered everything that needed to be covered. I am currently playing it a 2nd time because it got erased, but I find the game fun enough to do again.
Thank you. I really appreciate it. This review was challenging for me because there was SO much to talk about but I tried to pick and choose the REALLY important stuff. :)
+Pelvic Gaming Well, it was really good, you earned a subscriber.
+666blaziken Thanks again! it means a lot! ^.^
Great review, I actually like the story of XCX, especially when compared to the cheesy anime mess that is the XC2 story and the side quests are the best in the series hands down. I also think Elma is the best Xenoblade character in the series (mostly because she actually seams like a competent mature adult/leader which is rare in JRPGs). I really want a remaster (and sequel) of this game because I could easily spend another 500 hours in this brilliantly designed world.
Xenoblade 2s Story is much better than X and dont even start on the characters.
Yeah xenoblade 2 defintely has a better story, and is more fun
I would prefer the original Japanese game I hope the first Xenoblade X comes to the switch uncensored with all of the character creation options
The lyrics of NO.EC01 are actually in German but the pronunciation is really bad so even a German like me can't really understand what they lyrics say. But it's still a great song.
I want a true sequel to this game and for the switch.
Absolutely love it. I fell in love with part ones world, but I love x for what it is. Nothing like it
Bought my Wii U just for XC-X
Worth it?
@@PelvicGaming should have said "wanted". Remembered it was loaned then gifted heh. Also.....yes, loved that game.
In terms of story telling, nothing has opened my eyes and my mind like Legend of heroes has so much so, that the kind of lore and world building depicted in these games is on such a massive scale, that its still ongoing with an overarching narrative with 9+ games at currently around 80% complete, plot twists, revelations, story telling, diverse characters, the detail of the lore is so rich that it could be equivalent to like Middle earth lore from J.R.R Tolkien. This is not something like kingdom hearts where its like segmented into different stories and different characters, this is more like xenosaga accept it consist of multiple games in multiple arcs. If you want an experience like none other when it comes to writing and story telling in jrpgs, then look no further than Legend of heroes *Trails* series and the best part of it is it started with your favorite pixel art graphics. Only downside is, its a huge commitment, so many games, hundreds of hrs but if you have the patience, you will be rewarded with a sort of ambition epic in terms of writing in rpgs that you have never experienced before.
Xenosaga definitely expanded my sci-fi field. The terminology, along with the themes, etc. etc. Awesome. The first game was a great way to introduce the series. The second game was rushed and bad. Thankfully, the DS cover of both games made it a little bearable - if only I can find a translated MOD. The third game, whereas it was rushed, it definitely filled in a lot of loose ends the second game left open. They even give you documents to read after the ending to learn everything that happens after the credits roll. I really wish it could have gone its six game plan, but Namco will be Namco.
I'm glad someone else enjoyed xenosaga. that game was the reason I played xenoblade.
+geminidrake i really wanted to like xenosaga (bought the whole trilogy,eventually sold it off) but the gameplay completely turned me off. i found it so bland and boring,which made me sad because i really liked the atmosphere,story,graphics,and characters of the game
+geminidrake Xenosaga...wasn't that game all cut scene? I hear that game was like watching a damn movie. LOL. But still a good story and whatnot.
Pelvic Gaming For the most part, yes. However, when you get to actually playing, it's fun.
+Pelvic Gaming I love how u respond to your fans in the comments
Has anybody compared Xenoblade Chronicles from the Wii to the N3DS? I've absolutely loved my time with X, so now I'm itching to get into the precursors. Your thoughts?
+Big Z Sadly I can't say. I've only played it via the Wii.
+Midna78 I bought it on VC awhile back, and I love it!
DONT LOSE YOUR WAAAAAAY
I don't think people know how much fuel the Amadeus has. You ca. literally use it for straight hours and not run out.
Best Gurren Lagann review I've seen yet. I felt the exact same way about the mechs while watching.
Great review. I'm still in the middle of playing but here are my thoughts on it so far.
Gameplay: Way more complicated the Xenoblade chronicles. You're not kidding when you say you have to read the manual because the game will tell you very little. I still find myself going to it sometimes, but after a while you start to understand how it works, and that's when the game becomes more enjoyable. And then you finally get a skell and you have to go back and read more shit off the manual. It took forever for me to find how to get my skell back when it was destroyed, but the skell it extremely powerful and much better off using that more often.
There are way too many playable characters. I don't want to keep track of everyone's arts and clothes so I just found myself using a few of them in the end.
I think the class system was really cool since you were able to change your class at anytime. Being able to customize your character so much is really enjoyable. I especially love being able to have fashion equipment over you're normal equipment. I just like having people to have matching clothes on, or look cool/sexy, so with fashion eqipment you can do all that while having the best stuff on. Customizing your skell is also pretty fun to do.
Story: It's eh so far. I only just completed chapter 8, so I don't know everything, but Xenoblade chronicles does have a better story. I hate the silence protagonist thing though. It's cool being able to make you're own character and all, but I would much rather have an actual character that is able to interact with the other character through actual dialogue and saying the character's name. The other characters don't even mention your gender. They just say "rookie" or say "so what do you think". I find it really annoying.
Environment: This is definetly the best part of the game. The background and enemies are very cool. Sometimes I didn't even mind running around so much because everything was so cool to look at, and when you get your skell finally, it becomes even easier to just enjoy everything. The graphics are good, but not the best when you compare it to stuff on the Playstation or Xbox, especially when it comes to the character models. I saw many reused animation and the mouth animations were not great. The music is alright, but nothing too spectacular.
Overall, I would give this game a 7/10. Good, but not great. Probably won't replay it anytime soon.
Nice review as always! Wow some of the characters have such creepy doll eyes! I'm not familiar with the series, but the first one looked far more original in the story department. Are the two games linked? On another side, the environnement look so interesting to explore, as well as the bestiary! Great work!
+Enkidu Ereskigal Oh the first one was SOOOOOOOOOOOO much more original. And nope! Completely new story. There was lighthearted references to Xenoblade Chronicles but nothing story driven. More like one of the characters has Mando (the sword of XC) clips in her hair.
As always, thank you for your continued support!
Love the review as always! :) Gotta disagree on the story though I really liked it especially toward the end. Only issue is the story basically......stops...for like 80 hours lol! I would be psyched for a sequel and I much preferred this to xenoblade chronicles 2. MUCH better imo.
I think I would say the last story opened my horizon more to start playing more rpgs
I'm on chapter 5, the story is kinda bland so far, but the gameplay, the beautiful landscapes, the amount of interesting content makes up for it... and I have yet to pilot a skell. Nice review!
Also, the game that made me change my perspective of games, was Metal Gear Solid. I was like... 11 or 12 the first time I played MGS. I was more of a RPG kid (FFVII, Legend of Dragoon, Pokemon) and 3D platformers on the N64, but that game made me apreciate a more mature kind of game (that scared me before)
+Pepinillomaton Yeahhh the story is ...well...as you said...bland. BUT EVERYTHING ELSE it exceeds in! Oh oh ho hoho~ Just wait till you get your skell. Zomg.
+Pelvic Gaming Don't worry, it is a really dense series to get into, get your time. Also, if I can make a sugestion, I don't know if you have played Tales Of Symphonia. I played the Gamecube one, damm, that game is really on my top 5 jrpgs of all time, it's ALL about the characters, and they develop a lot.
Sorry for my bad engrish, I'm from Spain haha.
Amazing video as usual👏 I think Xenoblade Chronicles X looks cool, but I wouldn't spend my time on it. I don't have that much time anymore, so when it comes to RPG's, I either play the familiar franchises or the games I'm sure will be awesome. Again, game sounds cool, but time-consuming and I'm not gonna waste my time on this one. I'm playing Final Fantasy Type-0 right now, great game so far. Would recommend it if you have a PS4 or XBO. Definitely would recommend Mass Effect to you as well! The genre that I wasn't into, was the FPS genre....until that first Bioshock dropped. That game is a masterpiece. The whole franchise is amazing, even its DLC Minerva's Den and Burial at Sea tying the franchise together. I appreciate the genre a lot more now. The potential that genre has is incredible! Anyhow, Interesting to hear you do Bayonetta. Only played and finished the first one, still need to play the second one damn....
+Turan “From38” X FF-0 is good? I heard a lot of mixed things so ...that's why I'm debating on playing it or not... It looked great in the trailers...but at the same time..mmmmmeh. Oh Mass Effect...everyone says it great... I maaaay look into it...slowly breaking down that sci-fi barrier... Bioshock is too scary for me.I really like the story though. (I researched~!) Right now I'm playing PW: Dual Destinies/ Undertale, THEN I'm hoping into Bayonetta 2! :B
Pelvic Gaming If I recall correctly, the reviews for Type-0 were positive. Don't remember a negative review, but I could be wrong. I think the game is very fun, no problems whatsoever. It's all about setting your expectations at the right level. I mean it's a remastered PSP game, so expecting a true Final Fantasy game is unrealistic. I would definitely recommend you breaking that 'fear for scary games' barrier and playing all of the Bioshock games, but seeing as how you know all of its story, the impact of the games is somewhat diminished. Still, the atmosphere in the games is enough to keep you going. I'm interested in Undertale as well, I hope it comes to consoles so I can play it as well.
+Pelvic Gaming personal exp on type zero. Don't waste your money. I got more enjoyment out of the demo I got with it. If you think Xenoblade Chronicles X has a bad story and not a good cast, wait for type zero to show you how bland a FF game can get.
There are 15 characters and there is very tiny amount of backstory or info to any of them. story is also spread really thin. Its a PSP game and also behaves like one with funky controls and lots of tiny maps.
There is an overworld, but You can only do 1 sidequest at a time and its just as generic as Xenoblade Chronicles X blade board quests, except you can only take 1 with you out into the world.....
Its structured similar to Xenoblade Chronicles X in that the game progresses with main quests that take you through gauntlets of enemies. Except this time we have game mechanics that can make the game frustrating to play, like bosses with patterns you cannot plan for, ever. even if you adapt to the pattern, its a anti-climax how the game proceeds with each plot point. I stopped 25 hours in out of boredom.
Ozzhiroth Gigliotti Your point is understandable, but I get the feeling you had high expectations and you paid a lot of money for it. I only paid 20 bucks and got the Episode Duscae demo alongside it. Just like you said, it's a PSP game and if you put your mind to it, it's an incredible PSP game. Converting that to the PS4 will always fall short of what other JRPG's on the PS4/PS3 etc. look and play like. I think Square-Enix did their best in remastering this PSP game. I did like Crisis Core better in its story and characters, but that game was more linear and had a very basic gameplay. I think Type-0's gameplay defeats the gameplay in Crisis Core. All in all, you just have to know what you're getting into.
Turan X
no no no. Type zero is a pathetic exp compared to even FF13.... that is sad. it is the most boring FF I have even played, despite not being turn based in the slightest or using a slow battle system.
Its just boring and extremely cliched, and depressingly bad, its no wonder Square didnt want to give it to us, much like FF3 NES, its a poorly made disgrace.
One thing about the Alien races I noticed.
All the Main Story ones are kinda boring...............But the ones who don't appear in the story on the other hand are actually quite cool.
The Bug Race are a very interesting species, the Goroboggin (Whose name I got wrong here.) who eat pollution and radiation are quite imaginative, the Prone who join the City offer interesting insights into their people, Alot of wasted potential.
Most notable that of the playable character, only 2 of them are Aliens, which to me is pretty lame.
I think a Sequel might actually be in the works, I hope they expand on them more and less on the Pizza Obsessed not Salarians and humans.
Speaking of Adding the various races to the city, that was my favorite part of the game.
I liked building the city up by recruiting the other species, watching the city change and it's people along with it.
The game could have done with some Dark Cloud elements of City Building.
Awesome video! This definitely the best looking game on the Wii U! Played a little bit of it but could'nt get into it easily. Akso find the battle system kind of wierd. Gonna have to get back to it at some point. Great review! In terms of a game that broadened my horizons, Persona 4 Golden! I was never really a big JRPG fan until I played Persona 4. So as a result I've started playing more of them like Tales Of Zestiria. :)
+Tomtil Lets plays When I first played Xenoblade Chronicles I too thought the battle system was odd, but then you get used to it. Hence why it didn't phase me in this game. Thanks for watching! :D
Yeah. I guess I just have to play it more to get used to it.
+Tomtil Lets plays Yeah. It takes a minute. But once you under how the game works, overdrive, combos etc... oh you can be so beast. Haha.
*SPOILER ALERT*
I would have to agree with you 100% percent about the ending... I just didn't want to deal with a cliff hanger after all that led up to it. What the hell is up with Lau being alive on the beach as well? The game itself is great, but the characters should have been set like how Xenoblade Chronicles was, added that extra oomph of story depth that "X" needed so badly. Honestly I used Melia through the whole game once she joined my party...
I hear ya.
Funny, I didn't care for Melia. She was one of my least used actually. I only used her if I needed to up her affinity.
It's clear that you haven't started the endgame in time for this review. Your opinion on quite a bit of this will change depending on how deep you go into that rabbit hole.
And that rabbit hole is very deep- worse than some MMO's IMHO.
The Japanese use English for songs, the way we'd use Latin for chanting or something in music.
keep up the good work sis.
My favorite 'fro. The afro pro!
Great job. I agree with most of your points. I only want a sequel if it is story based like the first game but prefer them to make just a different game. What were you saying about a four scene sequel?? They made one or are making one? I want to know about that damn beach scene.
+AgentCooper1982 I would rather a brand new game but alas...
Rumor has it they're making a sequel. I mean you can't have an ending like that and NOT have a sequel.
Jimmy Holdsworth Let's hope! :D
Mass Effect will change your life. Play them all!
Your voice sounds a little like Alexas in XCX whenever it cracks
+Alex Dattel Thanks I think?
I like the voice. ^^ Gonna sub. Keep 'em comin'
You only got
Alex Dattel Thank you very much! :)
The vocal music can be good but, nighttime new Los Angeles
+NidoKingler It's not bad I just... was taken off guard I guess.
Agreed, but the tyrant music was a weird one. The beginning is horrific but near the end when two people started to sing, that was when it set off. Still though, Primordia daytime is awesome :D
Does this one have the annoying blade system in number 2? That didn’t sound like much fun
It does not!
Glad I clicked on this recommended video. Loved your review and I liked your take on each of the games' elements. Like you, I thoroughly enjoyed Xenoblade Chronicles. I may never replay that sucker, but the 100+ hrs into it will make me never forget the game. So I had to play XCX. Though I knew it would be more open world then XC. And yes. The story was lacking... everywhere. Really it reminded me of that animated movie Titan AE. Aliens are hunting us because... reasons. Scifi. Mechs. DO STUFF! =p
Too many characters. No real development with them or the bad guys. The combat, world, and monsters. Awesome! And although the quests were grindy, I enjoyed doing more because exploring was FUN to do! Especially mapping out each segment. Got chills listening to nighttime Sylvalum. Had fun circumventing large monsters to get to new territory. Then you get a mech and I can jump all the places! Then you can fly! 0_o It was nice to get those boosts to exploration. But I wish that the characters and the story were more tied into where I (what level I) was in the game. Missed the 'on-rails' nature of linear JRPGS like the XC had.
But ya. Loved your review and now gotta check out your other reviews (I spy a Zestiria review over there >_>). Keep up the great work! ^_^
I'm happy you clicked this recommended video too! ^_^ Thank you so much for watching! Titan AE huh? I'll have to look into it.
I agree! I had such high hopes for this game and... the story was serverly lacking for me. But at least the exploration was on point. I really enjoyed finding new locations view points and what have you. Haha, yeah, put it back on the rails man!
Thanks again! And I hope you enjoy my Tales of Zestiria review!
i criticized this game harshly because it was a mission based rpg and i haaaate those.
I have to disagree. While Xenoblade Chronicles was my favourite game of all time at one point, X to me was a more fun game. X=XC>XC2.
so yeah the story is meh but holy shit the gameplay. when you learn about infinate overdrive sets it becomes so satisfying and it feels so badass killing super bosses solo on foot without taking any damage
Great review :D
+PKMN Trainer Lewis Thank you! :D
Yes, the story is the weak point of the game but for different reasons in my opinion:
SPOILERS!!!!!!!
In mission 11 when Lao reveals that the people on whale are the elite hierarchy class, I was like, "GREAT TWIST...but it doesn't make any sense and doesn't mesh well with the subquests. The people on the white whale are clearly not of the hierarchy class. Some are pizza shop owners, bartista's, mechanics, even sometimes prisoners. They don't act like part of the hierarchy either. Snooty entitled rich people who would probably compete and fight amongst each other...but no, they co-operate quite nicely." Complete disconnect between main plot and sub-plots. Oh and yeah I wasn't a big fan of to be continued either -_-
But don't worry, I heard that the creators learned from their mistake and in the sequel are planning to make a much more involved and well done main story, kind of like how they did with Xenoblade Chronicles. Great review and fair score!
+Iron Berserk That's actually a really good point. A reallllllllly good point....I didn't even think of that.
I really hope so! Cause while the overall game isn't bad it was certainly a let down from Xenoblade Chronicles.
o.o That's exactly what my character looks like! XD
Great minds think alike! ;)
Damn son, you have a lot of swag!
I Just started playing it and I'm really enjoing it so far.
I hope you enjoy it nonethelss! Did you play the original? Xenoblade Chronicles?
And thank you. Tehe.
No I haven't played any previous game from the saga. Do you think it is kind of necessary? I don't have a 3ds so I just started with xenoblade chronicles X. And mira is so stunning
Gabriel Pace Oh no, it's not needed at all. It's just better. Like 100 x better.
Pelvic Gaming Now I Want to play it even more T_T hahaha
Celeste made me like platformers and indies a lot more
Yess!! Indies need more love!
@@PelvicGaming I am catching up since I have never really played indie games, but some stuff are just gems. Celeste managed to prove to me that despite lower production values you can create a tremendous experience. I actually arrived to your channel by looking for reviews for Dandara! So it is something I will pick up soon too
OH MAN. Dandara is rough but is amazing. Love the gameplay!
How weird... I was browsing your videos looking for this review because I had seen your poster and the other xenoblade games on your radar. I couldn't find it... but randomly today I get it in my recommended videos... TH-cam you bein' weird again...
I like the way you pronounce your Ss. Shtrong heheh cutw
I like video games I like your face I subscribed 💁🏿
Well....you didn't say anything about super bosses. And I disagree about many parts that the story is "meh". Also I think the characters aren't really blunt....but I'm one of these people who spent more time on background and lore stuff than on the actual game...so......
Watch EVANGELION!!!!!!! My GOOOOD! You will fall in love with Mechas!!!!
I **hate** that anime....lol
The end is very bad, but the mecha fights are the shi**t, so What kind of anime do you like then?
Thanks you save me time that i would have wasted:)
Star Wars isn’t sci fi lol
It’s action/fantasy
ITS IN SPACE. ALIENS. SPACE SHIPS. WHAT
This game I got one problem your character that you make got no back story he or she just there too looks pretty 🤔
GOOOOD LOVED THIS GAME SO MUCH!!!!
Okay BUT THE ORIGINAL THO
The games that made me want to try other series were Kingdom Hearts, and Beavely Default. I only played KH I.5, I loved everything about it. Since I don't really like turn based RPGs, I was surprised how fun BD is. So I decided to jump on the "Mother Wagon" and play Fanal Fantasy X. I hate FFX. I hate it with a passion. The battle system put me to sleep, the story was so underwhelming, and , other than LuLu, I hated everyone in that damn party. I was doubly disappointed because everyone said it's their favorite FF. I'm still optimistic about FF XV thoug. Not because it's a FF game, but because, from the demos, it looks like a comparation between KH and XBC....
I think this game destroyed my Wii U
Go play Mass Effect. The first 3 at the very least where Andromeda is it's own story that doesn't connect very much with the first three.
Randy GD That's what I hear!
Your reviews are excellent but..... I really think you should not give a score. Scores can be misleading.
lol the disc has been in my wii u for 4 months
+shinobimanexe Like... being played for 4 months or just left there? xD
+Pelvic Gaming. Both :) I can't bring myself to pull it outta my Wii U: its just my cup of tea!
O_o Are you on Twilight Princess?
huh?
+Pelvic Gaming vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/zelda/images/d/de/Iza.png/revision/latest?cb=20090603211837 O_O Nintendo is watching you!
;_; I wasn't trying to be mean. I just think it's super exciting to look like a video game character.
+blazingsonic Oh no no! I didn't take it as rude at all! I just sucks at responding to comments sometimes! Lol!
^-^ Join The club!
I recommend the anime: Evangelion
Never again. I hate that anime.
So an 8/10 is an 'eh'? /:
I love sci fi, and i hate mass effect.
+young2k15 You're a rare breed. I hear only good things about Mass Effect.
My issues revolve around level design and pacing. I'm not the only one who feels this way, but I hope you get more enjoyment out of the series than I did.
Slide me you info
you are pretty
+ZzMac1996zz2 Thank you! :)
Ummm
U underleved😀
I am NEVER under leveled. Like I REFUSE.
Bae 😩
+Duh Quan :B
I must be part of the minority here, because Xenoblade Chronicles X is a much better game than Xenoblade Chronicles.
I couldn't even finish XC, because the characters are annoying as shit, Shulk is a bitch, Fiora is an annoying bitch, and well those 2 characters ruined the game, not to mention the lame ass plot twist in the story halfway through the game (which is where I stopped playing the game, and never touched it again).
Just my opinion, but XCX is worlds better than XC.
Your such a cutie
david winbag she knows
certain parts? every part was better than xbc
Not the interface.
