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.


Xenoblade's story (minus the rather cookie-cutter characters) was pretty good for the first two thirds or so of the game.  Then it tumbled into a spiraling mess of jrpg cliche to the point where I really had for force myself to finish the game.
