I can relate to you on that. But the interface does look pretty neat ( I can't stand playing RPGS with bad an interface which makes everything confusing). But im still not getting it because i dont have time for another RPG (I also just bought Fantasy Life, which is something small).

You sound like you don't know what contradicting means.  And your understanding of how opinions work may be fuzzy as well.

Opinions can be interesting or uninteresting, and can provide information, or not provide much information.   The opinion of the Wind Up Bird Chronicle (a great book) contains a good deal of information, and can lead to interesting conversations.  The opinion I like Skittles does not.  This is not my subjective opinion as the amount of information in each of those opinions is quantifiable.  If we had the time and inclination, we could absolutely come up with an accurate figure to convey how much information is contained within each of those. 

To further the objective of promoting interesting topics, most communites have rules.  It's why we lock certain topics, and don't lock others.  It's why we frown on posts that say "So and so game sucks" and encourage posts that say "element x of a game is flawed because..."  

If I made a topic titled "I like Hot dogs", then made a topic that said "Green is my favorite color", then made a topic that says "My Cat's breath smells bad", would you consider this a worthwhile addition to the site?  If I was banned for this (which I should be) would you rush to my defense saying, "These opinions are equally interesting and worthwhile as any other?"  I would hope not.

In the case of this topic, "I don't like this game cause there's lots of stuff in it" doesn't really convey much information, or lead anywhere.  It's an issue of pure preference, which is the least interesting class of opinions.   And this user has made several such topics in recent days.  

But, perhaps you think "I like Skittles" is a worthwhile and interesting topic to discuss.  If so, I hope we are never stuck together in a long car ride.

Yeah, I would recommend the first Xenoblade, and if you got a new nintend 3ds, then get it for that. Amazing game and will give you the basics to see how you feel about Xeno X. You level your arts and gems you equip, as well as the fighting system is the same.

Oh Lord, it will be MUCH MUCH more than 50 hours, even avoiding side missions. Xenoblade Chronicles for the Wii took me about 150, and this looks bigger in every aspect.

Xenoblade was one of the best RPGs at explaining mechanics bit by bit to the player, and my understanding of X is that it's no different in that regard. There's a learning curve but they take their sweet time to make sure new players get what's going on.

Errr...

You're right, I meant you were being a hypocrite. 

Do you even know what you're saying? You're saying this guys opinion is not needed because you didn't find it valuable. I said you can say that for every thread, and that's true because not everyone will find someone's opinion valuable. That's how opinions work. Are you really going to say that this man's opinion is not needed but the opinion of a book must be for everyone? No, that's ridiculous. The world does not work that way, the whole world is NEVER going to unanimously agree on something. You think if someone says Murder is wrong that everyone will agree with that? Nope, there will be people that will disagree. That's why you're being a hypocrite. 

I like skittles is absolutely a subjective opinion. Do you even know what subjective means? It literally means one man's opinion and that man likes skittles, however, there are people who don't like skittles. It's a subjective opinion.

If you really want a simple yet effective first JRPG experience than I strongly suggest FFX HD.

I actually watched a video earlier tonight that made me consider not buying for this very same reason. I looked up Xenoblade Chronicles X reviews and found a preview instead. It looks kind of overwhelming.

I'll still buy but I hope it's not another Witcher 2. A game I wanted to love but was just too complicated.

Is it sad that I correctly predicted the author of this thread before I knew who it was?
