Hi Ircha! I'm definitely way late to the party, lol! But i just picked this game up last night on the eshop, for their black Friday deals! I got the dlc too, thank you so much for this video ! There were some things I still didn't understand that you basically just taught me! I can't thank you enough! So excited to play this!!!
Watching this review years later!! Haha! 2020! 😎 I am still playing it, and now watching you review it. I will never get tired of Xenoblade Chronicles 2. I also got the crazy deluxe edition of the game.
Love your channel! We have similar tastes in graphics so I trust your reviews more than most I'm definitely getting this. Thanks for mentioning fast travel. I have nerve damage in my hands and it makes a game a billion times easier to play
You have convinced me. Saw other reviews but somehow you made me see it in a way that made me understand it really is my kind of game. My next purchase after I finish my current game. I think my taste in games is very similar to yours.
I think you are my favorite go to reviewer on here now ( found your channel last night), not only do you avoid spoilers and add a good bit of humor with your expressions, you also give valuable advice through out your videos that may help potential players get past the initial hours of the game. I think you should do reviews of the Deadly Premonition games, if you aren’t familiar with the titles they are basically murder mystery games based closely to Twin Peaks and True Detective. If you enjoyed the quirky characters of Majora’s Mask I think you’d love the first game because it too gained inspiration from the show Twin Peaks. Cheers! I hope you continue doing what you do here!
@@ircha they look janky as heck but the characters and atmosphere of the game really makes for a unique experience. Came out back in 2010 on 360 and it was my favorite game that year. Very much an acquired taste though, a lot of people see the game as trash. One of those so bad it is great things.
Playing it now and it's awesome. Really pretty locations, awesome cinematics and incredible music. Music is so good, it's god tier! And yes, playing it with Pro Controller 😀
I'm late to the party here, I have been on the fence about this game because people either love or hate it and I have a huge catalog of switch games already. This is so in depth and you've convinced me to buy it. There is more to this game than I expected.
5:55 Guy splashing water looking at the camera was creepy. Anyhoo... thanks goddess! Happy New Year to you and your loved ones. Appreciate the content. Oh and I watched the live streams, hope you continue. Love the background noise while I'm doing stuff around the house.
Irenepon did well today. Irenepon mastering the art of reviewing games now in QTπ mode. I finished it at ~160h and there are still some things left to do. I am wondering how they will continue it in the DLC this year
Ircha we are friends on the switch and your review of xc2 is spot on.I dont normally agree with everything youtubers say when reviewing games but i couldn't agree more..im 80 hours in with xc2 ive just started chapter 6..And im with u when u said u like the old ish ps2 graphics i know what u meant and im the same..Anyway your best review imo and XC2 is the best game on switch period! And this is one of the best rpg ive played since the witcher 3 back in 2016..The witcher 3 being the best game ive ever played!
Thanks for the review as, Good work as always. I did not stumble about your review cuz I follow your channel about 2 1/2 years as from now on I think. I also got the beautiful Collector's Edition and I played the game on Release for about 15 to 30 hours. Now after the announcement of Xenoblade Chronicles 3 I am tempted to give it a new try 😁👍🏻
Ircha Gaming Just finished the vid, really solid review. I bought the US collector’s edition but I haven’t started it yet, now I can’t wait to play it.
the mod stat on each blade is also good to keep an eye on, agility and luck mods are for example very useful as more luck will increase your chance to get blades and agility will make you harder to hit.
Ok it’s 2021 and I’m just now looking into this game and the Definitive Edition lol! I watched both of your reviews but I’m still debating which one try for the first time 😣😣😣
Go on with ya bad self. I got the controller also and just finished the game a few days ago! Epic is how I would describe it, wish they would continue the story of Rex in another game.
I didn't know you could do first person and my 2 year old daughter got a hold of my switch when I came back l was like wtf! Took me awhile to figure out how to change the camera lol. I am on chapter 6 and I'm really enjoying it so far the only thing that annoys me is when I'm ten levels higher than something I would like to kill it in a few hits.
I love this game too, I'm just playing other games at the moment. I think people just need to practice more. It's one of those Ganges that gets easier the more you play it.
Just wait, you seem to only be on chapter 2 or 3 right now. Come chapter 4 the combat mechanics and available sidequests sky-rockets. A bit later you definitely won't be able to get by without pulling some crazy tricks.
Ircha Gaming only problem I had with your review was that I had to watch it twice: because you're so absolutely gorgeous, the first time I watched I was lost daydreaming in your beautiful eyes. But the next time I watched, I totally paid attention to what you said. Which was great.
I'm curious what you'll think of it. At least for me, it felt like the battles just took too long to finish and the map system isn't clear, especially later in the game. I haven't picked it back up since last playing it :(
Nannirk I would tell you if the games are connected or not but that would be a spoil. The ending of Xenoblade 1 connects to this game but still, they're both entirely different universes in which you do not need an understanding of previous games to enjoy. I'd say that you're experience is just enriched if you play Xenoblade 1.
This game was great. The combat feels shallow to me compared to the first xenoblade. Sort of felt like I was just following button prompts after learning it.
@@Manu-vm4wb lol I know this already but thanks. Just matching the fusion combo then creating and breaking orbs is following button prompts. The original Xenoblade felt more like you had to adapt during fights. Maybe its the flashes from the future. 99% of Xenoblade 2 I could ignore healing and agro.
@@jeddediajohnson9179 It is true that in the first you had to pick Monado's response to what the enemy was going to do if you wanted to survive, but in the end it was forcing you or the AI to use that skill. I find myself micromanaging more stuff in 2 than I did in the first Xenoblade, even small stuff like positioning at the right weapon distance from the enemy to get a bonus or using a lv 1 special to pick potions fast before we die. I haven't been able to ignore healing or my party's setup unless I was overleveled but it could be the case that I am not that skilled so it is already a fine challenge to me.
@@Manu-vm4wb might be I just died more in the first game making me feel the pressure. I did raise myself to the highest rank in salvaging fairly early. I did get tons of blades and was over leveled a bit through much of it. Just didnt feel the pressure even fighting things my level.
Depends what kind of beginner you are? A gaming beginner? No. A beginner to Xenoblade? Yes, I recommend it. The game teaches you must things as you go along.
PHeMoX I feel like most Switch games are worth getting a Switch for. I don't need if you heard but both Super Mario Odyssey and Zelda Breath of the Wild are both voted Game of the Year Awards. This game is just another masterpiece in the plethora of masterpiece games on the Switch.
TheOreoMachine PHeMoX I feel like most Switch games are worth getting a Switch for. I don't need if you heard but both Super Mario Odyssey and Zelda Breath of the Wild are both voted Game of the Year Awards. This game is just another masterpiece in the plethora of masterpiece games on the Switch.
It is definitely worth a purchase. I mean, this is a Nintendo IP that shows that Nintendo can do a lot with less. And by less, I mean did the game with just 40 people.
Ircha Gaming - Yup. While the majority of the people were working on Breath of the Wild, the rest were working on this game. It is amazing when you see how they managed to get the game running and working fairly well upon final release.
I just beat Xenoblade Chronicles from the Wii last year like in September, and i have the Golden Country and Xenoblade 2, i haven't played it yet because im busy with others games already.
I'll be buying it in about 4 weeks, I've been holding off because I'm coming to the end of my Master's degree.... can't lose 100s of hours to this game just yet!
Ircha Gaming i honestly enjoyed X more than the original. But for some reason the battle system bored me to death! It would have been better if they made it like Ys viii
So would you say it's worth getting that instead of the Wii version? The Wii one costs twice as much as the 3DS one it seems :| Edit: Ah hah, it seems it doesn't matter much on the small screen: th-cam.com/video/CMIw8c10mYI/w-d-xo.html
If you are a fan of Monolith Soft, you can't go any wrong. If not, my advise is to stay away from it if you are sensitive against cringeworthy anime teen comedy moments like I am.
Ircha Gaming Yes a little bit but also the story doesn't interest me that much... because I really don't like the main character. I don't like anything about him. The way he talk, the way he look and his story arc... I already like way more the main lead in the original xenoblade. The story look way more interesting too. I didn't bought it because of the second... Btw I just bough Ni No Kuni because of your review 🤗 So far it is just beautiful. A little bit slow pace but I feel the greatness everywhere. For the combat we shall see lol Thanks for your great channel
I felt like a kid experiencing 10 Christmas evenings!

You're welcome 😍😍👍 looking forward to xenoblade 3!

Ircha Gaming and you were right! I have been playing it since a few days after I posted that and love it. Thanks so much.
Wow, your videos are always great, but you really brought it with this video. Very well done.
Thanks for your review! Thinking of getting this after getting Atelier Firis and Lydie, Suelle. The Switch is starting to get some JRPG love.
I think you are my favorite go to reviewer on here now ( found your channel last night), not only do you avoid spoilers and add a good bit of humor with your expressions, you also give valuable advice through out your videos that may help potential players get past the initial hours of the game.

Ircha Gaming Your welcome
Great review Ircha Gaming. Your video's are getting better and better.
I'm about 8 hours in and it is already worth it it is awesome
The second you said “The world is basically a cloud sea.” I immediately bought the game! Why? Well I love writing novel stories of the sky 😎!
Haha nice! Yeah I enjoyed it too 😁 👍
This is why i don't want to look at your review always ends up me buying the game hahahaha i love your reviews keep it up!!! 💜🥰😊
Freaking love ur content !!! Keep it up !!!
Thanks for the review as, Good work as always.
I did not stumble about your review cuz I follow your channel about 2 1/2 years as from now on I think.

Awesome, been waiting for your review!
Ircha Gaming Just finished the vid, really solid review. I bought the US collector’s edition but I haven’t started it yet, now I can’t wait to play it.
This might have to be one of the first games i get when i get my switch 👌🏽 amazing review
the mod stat on each blade is also good to keep an eye on, agility and luck mods are for example very useful as more luck will increase your chance to get blades and agility will make you harder to hit.
I did not really play my switch too much then I got the pro controller , it’s so comfortable and is so much better to play on.
this is one of the games that I could honestly say, It was a worthy buy.
Awesome review, thanks for sharing!
I watch your videos and mash that like button. This is what I do with my life.
Thanks you.... I was waiting for this video
Ircha Gaming no it's fine and great review! Now I know much more about the game. :)
Ok it’s 2021 and I’m just now looking into this game and the Definitive Edition lol! I watched both of your reviews but I’m still debating which one try for the first time 😣😣😣
Which did you go with and what did you think?
The switch is the first Nintendo Console full console i owned more then 18 years
Love this format!
Go on with ya bad self. I got the controller also and just finished the game a few days ago! Epic is how I would describe it, wish they would continue the story of Rex in another game.
I didn't know you could do first person and my 2 year old daughter got a hold of my switch when I came back l was like wtf! Took me awhile to figure out how to change the camera lol. I am on chapter 6 and I'm really enjoying it so far the only thing that annoys me is when I'm ten levels higher than something I would like to kill it in a few hits.
Nice review. Was waiting for it.
I love this game too, I'm just playing other games at the moment. I think people just need to practice more. It's one of those Ganges that gets easier the more you play it.
love your reviews
Pyra has some serious..uh chest armor!
I have the Wii game and got bored about halfway through so I didn't get the Wii U one but I'm thinking about getting this one
Thank you so much for your video
Ircha, is this a good game to end my Stardew Valley addiction?
My favorite JRPG I've ever played!
I am thinking of playing Definitive Edition or 2 - which one is your favorite?? 😊
Just wait, you seem to only be on chapter 2 or 3 right now. Come chapter 4 the combat mechanics and available sidequests sky-rockets. A bit later you definitely won't be able to get by without pulling some crazy tricks.
She seems kind
Wait what?! You can play as Nia? Lol that’s really cool never tried it xD
Very thorough review.
Ircha Gaming only problem I had with your review was that I had to watch it twice: because you're so absolutely gorgeous, the first time I watched I was lost daydreaming in your beautiful eyes. But the next time I watched, I totally paid attention to what you said. Which was great.
but i guess thats my problem hu? lol
Which was your favorite though Xenoblade Chronicles, Xenoblade ChroniclesX or Xenoblade Chronicles2?
I haven't bought this yet....BUT...it's on my list! #toomanygames
Same here... Switch draining my wallet.
I'm curious what you'll think of it. At least for me, it felt like the battles just took too long to finish and the map system isn't clear, especially later in the game. I haven't picked it back up since last playing it :(
I thingking i buy Collectors Edition or not it is very hard to side i pickup that or not.
I actually returned the Pro Controller after trying it for one day. The joycons + grip works better for me with small hands.
Beshar Mohamed I mean you could've used it as a third controller but eh. I'm not gonna judge your journey.
Can I play this without playing the 1st one?
Absolutely, they're not even related story wise at all 😊👍
@@ircha thankyou so much for your reply, I’m enjoying your reviews and I’m subscribing
Should I get the Xenoblade or the Fire Emblem
Which one has the better graphics on handheld mode?
Just picked this up for Black Friday 😁😁
I am playing it and i loved
Yes! "Show us everything" Ircha!! ;)
Is battle super easy?
Is the story and characters of 1 and X so relevant to this one that I should play them first, or are they just in the same universe?
lol ok. I've never understood why they make unrelated games with the same title, especially numbered. (Looking at you, Final Fantasy)
Nannirk I would tell you if the games are connected or not but that would be a spoil. The ending of Xenoblade 1 connects to this game but still, they're both entirely different universes in which you do not need an understanding of previous games to enjoy. I'd say that you're experience is just enriched if you play Xenoblade 1.
Great video. Funny to 😁
Ircha thx for replying to my comment also wuts ur friend code would luv to be freinds with u
Love it and the video also ♡♡
You didn't talk about the best part of the game....THE SOUNDTRACK!
Once you go pro...
This game was great. The combat feels shallow to me compared to the first xenoblade. Sort of felt like I was just following button prompts after learning it.
Learn to make fusion combos, it gets a lot better
@@Manu-vm4wb lol I know this already but thanks. Just matching the fusion combo then creating and breaking orbs is following button prompts.

Would you rate it above Monster Hunter 3?
Atari Fitness I would certainly say it's better than Monster Hubter 3.
Looks like it is pretty good. Is it censored like Xenoblade Chronicles X?
Would you recommend this for beginner gamers? It seems that it's a massive game...🤔🤔🤔
Depends what kind of beginner you are? A gaming beginner? No. A beginner to Xenoblade? Yes, I recommend it. The game teaches you must things as you go along.
A newbie watching this .. going to play
A level 80 crazy person! Oh no!!! :)
I would love to play this game, but unfortunately I don't have a Switch. Is this worth getting a Switch for?? (I love RPGs)
PHeMoX I feel like most Switch games are worth getting a Switch for. I don't need if you heard but both Super Mario Odyssey and Zelda Breath of the Wild are both voted Game of the Year Awards. This game is just another masterpiece in the plethora of masterpiece games on the Switch.
Ircha looking gorgeous like a cupcake
Is it worth buying a Switch just for this game?

I did!
This and zelda are only games that i have and need.
It is definitely worth a purchase. I mean, this is a Nintendo IP that shows that Nintendo can do a lot with less. And by less, I mean did the game with just 40 people.
Ircha Gaming - Yup. While the majority of the people were working on Breath of the Wild, the rest were working on this game. It is amazing when you see how they managed to get the game running and working fairly well upon final release.
I hope that Nintendo will be cheaper, cheaper price and an open world games like pokémon and GTA V
I just beat Xenoblade Chronicles from the Wii last year like in September, and i have the Golden Country and Xenoblade 2, i haven't played it yet because im busy with others games already.
Is it better on Switch or Playstation?
This game is a Switch exclusive. 😁
@@ircha Thank you. I love my Lite, but with my old man eyes, I'm going to need a regular one for certain games.
I just bought it, are you happy now?
My money 💸😭
it's a nice game, i just hope that they could add kh3 to the switch. also amazing job.
I wouldn't be surprised if they did 😁👍
@@ircha i agree with you.
I'll be buying it in about 4 weeks, I've been holding off because I'm coming to the end of my Master's degree.... can't lose 100s of hours to this game just yet!
I completed my MA about 3 weeks ago and started XC2 straight after. Nearly finished chapter 4 of the game. 65 hours in. Wow... this game is amazing!
Wow, are most norwegian women gorgeous like you?😮 You remind me of a young blonde Elvira. Thanks for the review👍
Ok ok I'll buy it!!! Haha the switch is getting expensive
Ircha, you're a very beautiful, nice accent where are u from?
😊
How about showing me everything literally.
🌻🌻🌻🌻
Beatiful:) and im not gonna buy it. I tried playing the first one and X and it just wasnt my type of game
Ircha Gaming i honestly enjoyed X more than the original. But for some reason the battle system bored me to death! It would have been better if they made it like Ys viii
Ircha Gaming yeah true, just feels alittle too casual in my opinion
Jat.
U German?
The *really* bad graphics were in Xenoblade Chronicles 3D :)
So would you say it's worth getting that instead of the Wii version? The Wii one costs twice as much as the 3DS one it seems :| Edit: Ah hah, it seems it doesn't matter much on the small screen: th-cam.com/video/CMIw8c10mYI/w-d-xo.html
Beautiful Aryan woman :)
wow there are actually women that play these nerdy games?!?
YES 😎👍
If you are a fan of Monolith Soft, you can't go any wrong. If not, my advise is to stay away from it if you are sensitive against cringeworthy anime teen comedy moments like I am.
God I wanted to love this game and I hate it...
Is it the combat? 😁
Ircha Gaming Yes a little bit but also the story doesn't interest me that much... because I really don't like the main character.
I don't like anything about him. The way he talk, the way he look and his story arc... I already like way more the main lead in the original xenoblade. The story look way more interesting too. I didn't bought it because of the second...
