I honestly don't value a lot western reviewers scores for JRPGs. I mean, FFXV has almost the same score as XCX, which is laughable, since FFXV is pretty bad. But, well, if I have to guess, I'd say that XC2 would be in the 85-90 range.

Uhhhh....I don't think Japan likes Xeno much either. I mean, it sells well but it's not like famous for being amazing. I don't think a niche fanbase like Xenoblade's fanbase will ever trust any outsiders in reviewing their beloved games. And .. I don't even think they're necessarily wrong for that.  Same thing could be said about DS(if it wasn't for the fact that it's pretty big now)

Nah, I'm not saying that they're wrong. Because they have their own opinion, of course, it's just that my opinion has nothing to do with the general one. Which is that the Xenoblade franchise is making JRPGs great again (jeez, I sound like Trump XD), and I don't think people value as much as they truly deserve. There are some exceptions (the SMT series is constantly great), but some of the most famous, best JRPGs franchises are now pretty bad. Final Fantasy is the first franchise that comes to my mind, I couldn't stand any game since FFX (Funnily enough, the game I found the most bearable was FFXIII XD).
