I think I got slightly past Prison Island before I gave up on the game. It's easily one of the games I've enjoyed playing the least, mostly because the main character (Shulk?) is incredibly annoying. He's easily the most annoying main character in a game I've played. The evil metal faced person whose name eludes me was ridiculously annoying too. And the plot so far being mostly "I want revenge on the person who killed the girl I liked" was quite horrid too.

Apart from that, it's a nice game.

Then you should play  a little more in the story, and you will see it's no simple "I want revenge". Really the story gets SO MUCH better.

Right, so I just got to the Marsh again. 13 hours now. Still loving the game, and forgot how great the night-time music is...it just feels so...right...

Yeah, the music in that area is epic, and the ether flowing... I remember when I first got to Satorl Marsh, I was like "Meh, I prefer Bionis Leg and it's music", and then Nightime came...

To anyone who is in the first 20hrs ~ 35hrs of the story, please wait to get to Prison Island and every moment in the story will be epic. The final part of the game is truly mindblowing, so just wait :)

 

Ok, Hold on here, I am only 15 hours in, and I love this game already.  You are telling me it gets MUCH better?  See I don't know if I can handle that.  I feel the sense of wonderment that I did the first time I played Earthbound.  OH man 5 o'clock can't come fast enough, SOOOOOOOO psyched to rip through some more Xenoblade.  

Thanks Operation Rainfall. 

Yes, you will love it MUCH more, the story gets epic and the places gets bigger. Altough I still prefer the early zones, maybe because I spent half of my playing time in there :P
