Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Will Xenoblade be the first/one of the few console JRPGs this gen to hit 90+?

Silver-Tiger on 10 August 2011

No. It's third-party on Wii and thus it can't be good.



updated: 14.01.2012

playing right now: Xenoblade Chronicles

Hype-o-meter, from least to most hyped:  the Last Story, Twisted Metal, Mass Effect 3, Final Fantasy XIII-2, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Playstation ViTA

bet with Mordred11 that Rage will look better on Xbox 360.

It will be lucky to get over 80.

It's not third party. Nintendo produced the game. Monolith is a nintendo second party developer.

Xenoblade is a great game. Probably the greatest JRPG in the current console generation.

i hope so. With the history of many good wii games, they only average about 80 on metacritic for some reason.

cause thats probably as good as they are, Ninty games not withstanding

If the first 6 reviews we see average out to just under 90 then history says there is next to no chance that the final number will end up above 90. I'd guess mid 80's is where it levels out to.

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi

lol. Well of course you'd say that when you know absolutely nothing about the game. You know the game is the highest rated RPG this gen on Japan's biggest user review site right with a 90% right?

Riiiight and FFXIII gets a 60 and Oblivion gets a 60 and Fallout 3 a 56...Even The Last Story is at 58 (behind Arc Rise Fantasia and Opoona LOL). And I could go on and on.

Even Famitsu is more reliable than this website.

I don't how anyone can consider Demon's Souls a JRPG but if you do then I understand why you think Xenoblade is a JRPG. Unless it comes in NA I want it to fail in every way possible :)

This.

I want Nintendo to suffer for not bringing it to America.
