XCX had moments of greatness and some truly amazing highlights. In retrospect though it also had its fair share of shortcomings, which I was more forgiving of at the time cos, well, it was dark days of the Wii U and any food tastes great to a starving man. The world of Mira with its breathtaking landscapes, numerous secrets, and believable yet alien ecology was and still is a stunning achievement and a joy to explore. Getting a skell for the first time and later taking flight were awe-inspiring moments. On the flip side though, I spent the whole game waiting for the story to take off and it never really did. There was also way too much tedious filler, and while the music could be great at times, it could also be awful. |
I still rank Xeno X in high regard. Easily one of the greatest jrpgs ever, only just under the original XC.... sometimes... Also, the story never took off? After the attack on NLA, the story took off like crazy. That's just a false statement.
