| Nuvendil said: I hold them as equals, but for entirely different reasons. There are areas where Xenoblade Chronicles tops X: while X's central plot (granted, the required story missions are only a small slice of the writing) while good doesn't match the sweeping epic of the original. Unless the last chapter just floors me :P. But then, side content is an area where XCX completely and utterly craps on the original. Almost all of it is tightly unified by the driving underlying narrative, giving the game a sense of unity and tasks a sense of greater purpose. And the game admirably avoids the issue of fragmentation, a problem many other open worlds suffer where the side content and central content are clearly segregated and exist almost completely parallel. Those are examples of the sort of back and forth the comparison is like for me. Equal, but entirely different. And most importantly, both excellent. |
hey..... that was one of the more insightful reads on this sight. You've actually got me wanting to do the sidequests, and i'm not a sidequest kind of guide. Nice. Now heres hoping your comment is accurate.
