| curl-6 said: Yeah, XCX definitely suffers a bit from being in the shadow of its predecessor. Xenoblade on Wii not only had a more compelling story and characters, but also a more consistently high quality score and a more user-friendly interface. Taken on its own terms, Xenoblade Chronicles X is a remarkable achievement, but like most games, it seems a little anemic when placed besides the original Xenoblade. |
I think XC focus was the main story, while XCX changed its focus to a more compelling world, side quests and improved gameplay. So I really think that XCX beats in almost everything the first game, even the score, but that's because I'm a lot into anime music so that might be my personal taste. The only that's better in the first game, is the main plot. Characters are just merely plot devices, two-dimensional and just boring; while in XCX with the affinity quests they're three-dimensional. The world is best crafted. The quests are most focused... But, obviously, in the end, it's all a matter of tastes, I just think XCX is a great improvement over the original, because I also think that the original is a tad overrated.
I'd say that this man summed my thoughts very well on his reviews of the two games, and I definitely agree with the score too:

Though I liked the original's main plot xDDD.
