Also, Xenoblade's setting is outstanding, but let's be real here. The story is pretty typical JRPG fare, especially towards the ending. It was well done, though, I enjoyed it. Just saying it's not like it's Shakespeare. |
Xenoblade's strength isn't really in its uniqueness, just the congruency of the story and structure. Its built well and builds on itself in a logical and forethought manner. Its a well written, albeit rather generic, story.
I'd say Xenoblade's story is the equivalent of the Mario difficulty curve. Something we've all seen before but sculpted carefully and delicately.
