Among my fellow JRPG friends (late 20's early 30's) we universally felt Xenoblade Chronicles X was an absolute blast. Fairness in conversation I've been looking at XCX since the initial trailer launch and decided to pick up the console almost entirely on the premise of having another Xenoblade Chronicles game because again we all felt that it was such a wonderful experience.

I've already beaten the main story and am finishing the 'after' part of the game in an attempt to gain 100% completion. I have the top skell, over a billion credits and storage of Mariaium above 128k so you can understand PLENTY of time has been put into the game.

However on the art direction I am not going to lie. I did feel that it took a greater amount of energy to accept the human models this time around. What really bugged me was the waving back and forth during conversation scenes. It made me felt like everyone was a parent doing the infant rocking stance we all do after raising infants. The marketing was so god awful and acts as further proof that just because you went to school for marketing and have a fancy degree you can still just flat out suck at your job. While watching the spots on adultswim all I could think about was ways on how to do it correctly instead of those cheap looking and just awful quick ads.

IF YOU'RE LISTENING NINTENDO FIRE WHOEVER DECIDED THAT WAS SOUND MONEY SPENT!
