Xenoblade Chronicles, like The Last Story, is overhyped and overrated JRPG game JUST because it's for the Wii. After playing both, none of these two games are better than Star Ocean 4/Lost Odyssey on the 360 or FF13-2 on the PS3 in quality or story and overall, which I would compare to. Xenoblade does not represent anything new in the JRPG market.

Except that Xenoblade is better in quality and story than the games you mentioned, and represents a non-linear style of JRPG that is all too rare these days.

See? Isn't it great when someone states their opinion as fact?

Lost odyssey and ffxiii-2 are both non linear and they are both good, it's ffxiii that was disappointing not ffxii2 that game is fun.

Compared to Xenoblade, they aren't very open. I don't even want to think about FFXIII-2 (the story was somehow worse than the first). Lost Odyssey is the only other really awesome console JRPG this gen (though I have half a mind to count Dark Souls), but I think Xenoblade wins by wrapping up its story and gameplay all on one disc. A Wii disk, to boot. Lost Odyssey dragged on for quite a while.

I love stating my opinion as fact in order to make a point that isn't getting across.
