      X is very different from the others, and isn't connected to 1, 2, Torna or 3 at all. You can skip it. It's honestly a bit tedious to get into. Be prepared to have an interactive map and a wiki open on your phone or laptop because the game does not help you the same way the newer games do. The fonts and UI in X are also extremely small and very poorly designed. There's also a ridiculous amount of high-level enemies that aggro you and kill you in one hit - even through walls or when they are massively far away. None of the XC games on Switch troll you with high-level enemies in every area like they are designed in X. Accept a level 20 quest and be prepared to skip a barrage of level 30 and 40 enemies all the time. It's not fun, at least for me. Just don't expect the same quality and balance as the Switch titles.

    Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is my most played and overall favorite game on the Switch! I remember being a bit hesitant about buying it after reading a couple of reviews (mostly average/negative to very negative), then I finally got it and ended up loving the game so much I played through it 3 times back to back. The more I play it the better it gets! The OST is a 20/10 for me, I listened to it daily for months. I hope more people will give it a chance 🙏 It really deserves better!

    Awesome! Been playing through Devil May Cry 1,2 and 3 with my mom. (Actually just finished 3 today!) Wanted to show her the series as we've played through the whole Resident Evil series together and I thought she'd also enjoy seeing DMC, which she instantly loved. Other than that, I've been keeping my gaming plate all clean so I won't have anything unfinished in preparation for Xenoblade Chronicles 3. Man, I truly can't believe it's almost finally here! Xenoblade Chronicles 1, 2 and Torna are all just magical games and I couldn't be happier that we actually get a third one. After still being utterly heartbroken by the thing that was Resident Evil 3 "Remake", I haven't been able to fully get my hopes up for any game since, as being burned by RE3R hurt so much, but secretly I really am, for a better word, all hyped up and feeling the tingly anticipation as the release date approaches! Hope you guys, me and everyone here has the best of times with it! :)

    I played XC1 ahead of XC2's release, but XC2 is my favorite and I think I would have enjoyed XC1 a lot more if I'd played it after XC2.
    The first game was made as its own thing (I call it a pilot episode), but the second game was made to be even more. It rehashes a ton from Xenogears, and it's basically the foundation for Perfect Works 3.0.

Because the combat is so smooth in the third I feel like Its a big step back. Similar combat the controls just aren't as good. But I think I'll get used to it..it's just more clunky compared to 3..if I had started there I think I would've been way more into it. But I'm going to keep playing, I can see that it's a good game. I just think had I started from the beginning I wouldn't be so spoiled by the epic ness of 3.

Even despite needed adjustments, the tutorial failing enough for TH-camrs to have needed to create better ones, gacha stuff, Rex’s English actor supposedly occasionally missing the mark, and a technically messier anti-aliasing/image-sharpening solution than DE/3, I’m still sold on XC2. From what I’ve seen of some of the early-game cutscenes, breathtaking early-game environments, absolute banger music, and witnessing Etika and others cry over the ending (cropped to playercams away from the game with all sound muted to keep myself spoiler-free), I’m fairly certain XC2 will be just as immersive and unforgettable for me as XCDE has been thus far

    I got Xenoblade Chronicles for the Wii when it first came out using my Gamestop points. I tried to play it, but the game mechanics confused me and I set it aside. I bought it again on the 3ds and the same thing happened to me.
    I bought Xenoblade Chronicles X after you recommended it on this channel, but never got very far into it. I then bought Xenoblade Chronicles 2 special edition and it hooked me from the opening scene. I played it through twice and then played Torna, which I also enjoyed.
    I decided to go back to my 3ds copy and played about 5 hours of Xenoblade Chronicles and then remembered I had it on the Switch and started it all over again. The combat finally clicked because of the second game and I enjoyed it as well. However, I love Xenoblade Chronicles 2 much more than 1 because of the graphics, characters, and blades. I'm getting 3 this week and will one day go back and play X.

    I totally get what you're saying. About a week ago I fired up Persona 5 Strikers, which is also a Warriors style game, but all I can think about is Xenoblade Chronicles 3. I think I'm just going to not play games this week until it releases because my focus is elsewhere and it's not really fair to those other games.

    I finished Xenoblade 2 like 3 days ago, I cannot put into words how good this game is, I didn't like the beginning of the first one but came to love it after getting to Eryth Sea, after that part the game really picks up, but Xenoblade 2 is another game man, this is all gas and epicness and whimsy and fun. Cant wait to get to 3 but still need to finish a lot of quest in 2 and get to Torna.

    I'm playing XC2 right now and having a blast. I started playing it a few years ago and then left it after 20-30 hours when I got a bit overwhelmed by all the blades and which character you should summon on etc. etc. But after watching a lot of vidoes by Enel and realizing that all blades are viable in the Campaign I just started playing the ones I enjoyed. Right now I'm 70+ hours in and still on Chapter 6, doing every side-quest I can and checking all the field mastery hidden stuffs. I love the exploration part of these games sooooo much! Can't wait for Xenoblade 3 and I relly should get myself an OLED since I find myself playing 95 % handheld nowadays (bed, toilet, sofa while the kids are watching TV, in the summer cabin etc.)

      @@86Alterity hard disagree. 1 felt more compact and varied, with more arts, skill trees and gems and everyone having a pre determined role that were all a lot different than each other. 2 boiled down to getting orbs on the enemy and hoping your AI does them in correct order (and this isn’t even introduced until pretty far in the game) the blade system was also pretty weak and most of them were underwhelming or samesey compared to the handful of top tier blades not to mention horrible gatcha and I wasn’t a fan of having to stand still to attack it slowed gameplay down for me

    @jhonaker76 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I’m playing through Xenoblade 2 right now as well, and really loving it. I didn’t care for the combat at first, but once you unlock the ability to have arts charged up at the beginning of the battle, it plays very similar to the first game (without having to use the D-pad to select your attack). I got KOS-MOS midway through chapter 5, and now just really digging into the game. I completely agree with Kim on all her points about the quests-some of them are excruciatingly long 😂. But I guess it’s a slightly different spin vs. having the quests timed in the first game. I also got myself a copy of Torna, and got Xenoblade 3 pre-ordered, so I guess it’s going to be Xenoblade summer 😅

    Torna, the Golden Country is amazing and adds a lot to the game and makes the story better and even has better characters imo. I didnt like 2 more than 1 until Torna. I definitely wasn’t a huge fan of Rex though. The side quests in Torna actually show more stuff with the characters and the protag is better and god it will break your soul. The combat better too. I’m playing Three Hopes and I’m enjoying it for what it is.
