| curl-6 said: At about 15 hours in, I'm fairly certain of two things: (1) It's my Game of the Year. (2) But it's not quite as great as the original. Compared to the first Xenoblade, the story is not as compelling, the pacing is less focussed, the soundtrack is less consistently great, and while the combat system has been refined in some ways, there seems to be no worthy replacement for the Monado's "see the future" mechanic. That said, the world is breathtaking in its scope and vision, the feeling of exploring and staking claim to uncharted wilderness is awesome, many of the musical tracks are amazing, creature designs are superb, and the sheer breadth of content is impressive. |
Xenoblade HD come on!
I really miss the Monado, even though in XC, they said that word a million times. The topple combo seems better in the original than XCX.
I've just clock a little less than 21 hours. Level 23, and in chapter 4. Didn't go back yet as I'm trying to find some probes and would set it for mining for better $$$. Haven't use the others like Irina and Doug.
