No I see you overrating other games which have been critically slammed in order to make a point that you can't make. And then you scream bias without ackowledging your own. I'm the one making actual arguments, you are not. Being the first to do something is NOT the same as being the one to reinvent a standard. The Iphone wasn't the first touch screen smartphone, but it reinvented the standard of phones toward touch screen smartphones. Likewise Final Fantasy wasn't the first JRPG, but it reinvented the standards of the genre. 

It makes me wonder if you even played Dragon Quest VIII or Xenoblade if you are going to compare it to Xenoblade. 

How hypocritical of you to talk about ad hominem.

You haven't made any arguments. All I've read so far is you saying that you love Xenoblade in part because of its scale, trying to pretend it reinvented a genre and set a new standard. Despite said standard having been there all along and done by other games before it. I say It brought back that standard.  You don't agree. Instead, you're trying to force your view of the game on me, and make me say things that I just don't see in that game, despite, yes, having played it (and yes, Dragon Quest VIII as well. Who do you think you are? xD).

We're going to have to agree to disagree on this topic. You seem to be way too emotionally invested in this topic for me to get a reasonable discussion about this.

Your entire post was ad hominem. How would I respond other than likewise? What else was there to respond to? Of course I will target you as well, as apparently in your own eyes you are unbiased and everyone else is too in love with Xenoblade to see the truth of the matter. 

I mentioned a combination of things that made Xenoblade's open-world gameplay different from prior games which attempted as such. Who did you think you were when you made the assumption that I didn't play many JRPGs? What makes you better that you can make the assumption about me and I can't make a similar assumption about you? 

@ Bolded Right, you werethe one resorting to logic fallacies such as ad hominems and strawmen based on a perceive biased and I  am the one emotionally invested? Please. Your entire existence in this thread is to get reactions from fans of said game because you feel it might be overrated.
