Kinda. Not many games were really influenced by it though. Maybe Final Fantasy XV (but that's more like Kingdom Hearts). It made people like the genre more, but there have been plenty of open world action RPGs with party systems, Xenoblade just did it bigger and better.

I like to think of Xenoblade as a test run or template for future home console RPGs developed by Monolith. X is in a much better position to be a "Final Fantasy killer" or would be if Wii U was even 1/4 as successful as Wii.

Yeah, that's how I saw it too. It was testing the waters for them, I don't think they even expected the love it got. Now they're gonna build on it to make their own unique type of game in the JRPG genre.

You're Gonna Carry That Weight.
