It won't be marked down for being Wii game - in fact this can only help due to lack of any high quality titles that would set bar high.

But it will suffer from typical jRPG hate - jRPG are not evolving blah blah blah emo heroes with big swords blah blah blah 7/10 ;)

Just wait till typical jRPG haters start posting reviews and the score will dive.


A lot of the reviews say this game moves the genre forward, and there's no emo heroes in this game anyway...

You should've said this before all the reviews came in.

I think Xenoblade will be a fantastic game but I doubt that this game will push the genre forward. Nothing I have seen so far inclines that this game is any different than previous JRPGs. Though that isn't a bad thing.

oh you will find out when you play, I don't spoil story stuff on forums but I do have videos from my past live streams from the past few days and it's definitely not a traditional JRPG, the world is as big as MMOs and there are a shit ton of things to do, it's almost like a single-player WoW but you play at your own pace at all times, you also have to constantly watch for many factors when fighting mobs and bosses or they'll own your ass with ease, there is very little room to exploit mechanics if at all unlike all other JRPGs I've played this gen.
