  • Fun fact: Sometimes while editing this video, I played Xenoblade X via the Gamepad. The text was very small and annoying but the game's still fun even on a smaller screen.

    Edit (10/20/22): I cut out a portion of this video so the timestamps in the actual video are incorrect. The description is correct though so you can use that but if you want to avoid some spoiler sections use these timestamps instead
    End of Vague Ending talk: 19:03
    End of Minor Sidequest spoilers: 20:01
    End of Minor Main Story spoilers: 32:34
    Also ignore everything else the original comment says it is not relevant anymore
    Thank you for watching the video! This is my second video of this style so constructive feedback is still appreciated.
    I would like to ask you all one question though, as you can see this series is currently called "My Extended Xenoblade Journey" but I have been considering whether it should be "Xenoblade" or "Xeno." Imo I consider X, Gears, and Saga to be extra games to play beyond the 4 "main" games, so I went with Xenoblade, but I would like to hear what you all think.

    Interesting fact about Sylavlum, the area with the best day/night theme, that's not snow, those are fungi spores.
    Ah Tatsu, the most reviled character in the fandom. Honestly, I'm mostly ambiguous towards him.
    Those Manon, they really like their frozen Pizza, it's almost like a religion. But, then again, apparently they didn't actually do anything interesting with their food before humans came along. It's more like they're trading their technology for human culture.

    About the character models - I thought the character creator seemed a bit off, especially with the eyes. Felt they looked like cameras, almost.

    Xeno X isn't just fun for xeno fans. It is ESSENTIAL for Zelda fans. XCX's influence is all OVER the place in BOTW and TOTK and it's actually mindblowing that Takahashi has gone from nearly having his first game shut down to being a central engine for what is now considered the pinnacle of game design.

    • @TheAbsol7448

      BotW literally would not have been possible if not for Xenoblade X, and especially its devs. Nintendo had to pull some Xenoblade devs over because they were incapable of finishing the game themselves.

    Monolith has expressed interest in revisiting XCX but have admitted that it would be more of a remake instead of a remaster like XC1 DE was. Now that XC3 is in the can and closes that story arc whispers are that XCX will be remade or inspire the Xeno trilogy for the next console generation.

    The last time I’ve played a game that’s made me feel this endangered and insignificant is Breath of the Wild. This game’s world is truly something else and has the best design imo, and even though each continent can be linked to basic themes, they’re each constructed in a very unique manner. I’ve been waiting for a port for a very long time, and I know when a port does come out, it’s gonna feel extremely refreshing to play this again. This is the best Xenoblade and one of if not my favorite game of all time, my other two being Botw and Xenoblade 1.

    Overdrive in a Nutshell: TASTE THE RAINBOW BITCHES!
    Aggro is still a thing in X, it's handled the same way as every game from an Accumulation standpoint: Aggro Gained = Half Damage Dealt + Half Damage Healed. Aggro management in X is honestly great though because enemies don't have to overfocus on a singular target, and teams also still rely on it to manipulate enemy actions. Taunts are even more goated than normally, because not only do they refocus an enemy onto the tank-- they refocus them off appendages if they were targetting someone else, which makes them even more amazing.
    Morale... actually doesn't function like Tension(Xc1)/Affinity(Xc2) at all. Most casuals probably don't know what Morale does. XcX doesn't have a mechanic like Tension or Affinity at all though, instead Morale simply raises your chance to get a Soul Voice prompt when you do a Soul Voice trigger-- which is to say nothing of how wild Soul Voices can get when you sit down to learn everything about them-- AI problems in X don't exist to the masters of Soul Voices, and while I sometimes see people who still complain about that; you people need to upgrade your party members, that ones not on the AI.
    Overdrive in X is so much better than in Xc2; it's certainly got that Wir Fliegen flare in 2, and it captures the essentials well enough for the casuals who only relied on Overdrive for a simple damage buff or faster cooldowns, but with 2 having no Layered Cooldowns or multiple Art Colors like X, you lose around 90% of Overdrive's potential-- oh and the whole party innately activates Overdrive in 2, meaning no Party Bonuses like in X, where the more allies you strengthened, optimized, and improved the Overdrive Capabilities of, the more you'd be rewarded, with massive increases to things like Soul Voice Chances, TP per hit, and Super Armour. So many of the benefits of Overdrive in X are based around the Colors of Arts, and on granting so many more potential benefits-- designed to enable and enhance any potential build you could imagine, rather than hyperfocus into 1 or 2 specific styles of gameplay like Xc1 or Xc2 combat. In Overdrive, every choice will completely change the outcome of EVERYTHING, in Chain Attacks, every choice will progress a relatively predetermined choice a slight bit forwards. Slight problem with Overdrive though: not exactly colorblind friendly.
    Oh, and Skells are mostly just the ultra-convenient farming tool in Post-Game; faster than Overdrive but not as hard hitting as Overdrive.

    Love ZCX, specifically bought a hard drive for the WiiU to download the data packs, played it for over 200 hours. Didn't beat it, never even effectively figured out how the combat worked even after hundreds of hours (and oh boy did I watch a lot of tutorials), but its OST is still a frequent part of my playlist rotation, and I think it has some of the coolest scifi and mech designs of any game to date. I even bought the Japanese art book, I love it that much. I was ultimately unable to beat the final boss because, after playing some seven or eight hours without saving the game (yay for manual saves), I trapped myself in the final battle with all my Skells destroyed and the lack of skills/levels/team members/abilities needed to succeed (even AFTER switching to the easy mode life line). So I gave up and quit to the main menu, and lost all my will to replay through those eight hours of grinding through dozens of character quests and crafting objectives. I watched the ending on TH-cam and put the game away, hoping it would one day get the gameplay revamp and re-release it so desperately needed. Looks like I'll be hoping for a while longer.

    I recently played this game for the first time. Honestly, it's so weird that this game exists the way that it does. I don't know why they called it a Xenoblade game when it's so, so unlike XC1. And I agree with your sentiments on Tatsu. I don't know what the writers or localizers were thinking with him.

    Personally I would say there are 3 interesting story parts.
    1) Arm
    2) War
    3) End
    But yeah I agree it feels like the story wasn't ever really concluded. But yeah the side content on the other hand is fantastic if you go in to try to do every side quest, beat every super boss and so on.

    The story of x feels incomplete but it’s kinda the most ambitious xenoblade imo
    World map and exploration are the best in this game
    It helps you can run,moon jump and ride giant mechs and I was disappointed with xenoblade 2 when none of those aspects returned
    Weakest aspect of this game is the story unfortunately,I don’t remember much nor care about it which is weird coming from monolith soft

    When it comes to the Xeno series, they are disconnected enough from the first Xenogears and Xenosaga to play Xenoblade and not miss much. Forgot the creators name, but he retconned even in Xenogears from what appears in Perfect Works (well, not just him there as his wife was half the brains on it). Xenosaga is the last threads connecting to Xenogears before things take a major departure in various ways with the Xenoblade games. From what I know of the lore, it's hard to say how it actually is connected as he never said these are the continuations of the original story he wanted to tell, so it seems in the universe yet enough time between they don't matter. I've a lot of issues with the lore in being seen as continuation, but he did want to do something new, break away (and gets around some licensing issues).

    X was my first xenoblade game. Its honestly my favourite game of all time. I then went back and played xenoblade chronicles and was shocked by how different it was. I couldn't play it.
    I eventually pushed through and enjoyed the game after finishing 2 and torna. Though the first one is definitely my least favourite of the lot

    8:20 Actually, in therms of graphics quality purely, the WII U has the same quality that the Switch and it was a big step up from the WII that ran between 480 and 720p. But for the rest, the Switch is way stronger

    This game should have been a mmorpg, it looks like one.
    The artstyle used for the humans is explained with what happened at the beginning of the story (explained by Elma afterward), that's why we look like plastic dolls. I really like this game, not as much as Xenoblade 1 but is a really good game and the side stories are fantastic.
    That said, I cannot stand and I will not allow any kind of slander against the mighty Nopon Tatsu. He's the best Nopon humanity as ever know and I will not accept another opinion about this tasty potato.
