I am of the opinion that XCX was the most overrated game of the last generation. And I'm a big fan of XC on Wii. I still don't get how they managed to take everything that made XC so good and throw it away while exacerbating the very few negative things. The only good thing in XCX was Mira imho.

While I wouldn't go that far, I too was disappointed by XCX. Mira was an amazing world to explore, but the lacked most of what made me love Xenoblade 1, most notably a strong plot and an awesome OST.

Yes the graphics and framerate are not great for today's standards but the sense of scope and fantasy is just sublime! ( the first big world your in omg amazing!)

Granted I'm only in chapter 2 but so far the framerate seems par for the course for a game of "today's standards." Heck, I can think of a lot of games of considerably  bigger budget that run worse.

Only a year you were praising XCX to deaht and calling it one of your favourites (if not your favourite) Wiiu game, what's this sudden change of opinion?

Personally I think it was flawed, but it has so much virtues that the overall experience was quite epic and totally worth it.
