Forums - Gaming - For Those Who "ONLY" Are Getting/Considering FFXV+XCX, Which Do You Think.....

Zekkyou said:

1. Will Have The Bigger World? (In Actually Traveling Land Size) - XCX. FF15's is obviously the much more detailed of the two, which make me skeptical as to it being larger. It trumping XCX in both would be quite the accomplishment.

2. Will Have More A Depth Feel to It? (Talking World, as in Landscapes/Citys/etc) - I expect XCX's will be more varied/interactive, but FF15's will feel more "alive".

3. Will Have The Better Combat? - Tie. They both have very different goals.

4. Will Innovate better Gameplay? - Tie. Neither looks like they "innovate" much. Not that i think it really matters. At all.

5. Will Have the Better Story? - Tie. I expect XCX's will be deeper, but FF15's more relatable too.

6. Will Take Up Most of Gamers time? (Replay value+Longevity) - XCX, for the same reason as point 1.

7. Will Have The Better Enemy Designs? (pls note this isnt graphically, we all know FFXV wins [X1/PS4]) - FF15. They've done a great job of fitting both the "fantasy" and "reality" themes into the enemies. XCX's are perhaps more imaginative, but at the same time more expected.

8. Will Have The Best SideQuest? - Tie. XCX will have more, while FF15's will be more unique.

9.  Overall Better Game? - XCX will probably be the "better", but i'm expecting to enjoy FF15 more.

10. Will You Get Day 1? - Neither.

Have to say I like your post. I think it you've summed up the games quite well. :)

Im super biased towards nintendo, so i say xenoblade X will win everything on that list



I will only say this. XCX will just be a better game just goin on the guys behind Xenoblade made one of the best games in the past decade and also had a hand in Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross and Xenogears plus Saga. They know RPGs and Square has been terrible last several years. From mechanics to narrative to music to parity. I don't see anything in FFXV that fixes that problem. I will play it so yes I will get both. I just know XCX will be a better game.
Yes XCX will be a bigger world and that's not opinion based on information we have it is fact. Skyrim is 15 square miles. Xenoblade playable map is about 20. XCX is 5x that. So approx 100 Square miles. FFXV showed off the model for the world map and do some math and the world was about the size of the first Xenoblade maybe just a bit smaller. FFXV will in fact be smaller. People think logic means more powerful console means bigger world. Nope. It means more detail not bigger. FFXV is smaller but much more detail. I don't know if the final product be as empty as we seen. DOn't know yet. XCX will have a lot to do.

I will get both but only XCX is day 1.



I will likely get both day 1, but I can't really say which I think will be better in what way. I skipped Xenoblade Chronicles... because wasn't a big fan of playing games on my Wii, but I heard great things about it (other than being last gen looking).

They traded graphics for amazing gameplay/Value/Story/etc.... Good trade imo :0

Not sure they traded anything.  They did what they could on Wii.



My 8th gen collection

1. Will Have The Bigger World? (In Actually Traveling Land Size) - I'm going to guess Xenoblade, but you never know really. Both have fast travelling vehicles, so I assume both need to be large

2. Will Have More A Depth Feel to It? (Talking World, as in Landscapes/Citys/etc) - Not sure on this one. FFXV had some very good landscapes on the trailer, but we haven't seen anything other than Xenoblade's first area...

3. Will Have The Better Combat? - Xenoblade X, pretty much no doubt here. 

4. Will Innovate better Gameplay? - FFXV. Not sure of the quality though.

5. Will Have the Better Story? - Xenoblade. This is Takahashi we are talking about. 

6. Will Take Up Most of Gamers time? (Replay value+Longevity) - Xenoblade easily.

7. Will Have The Better Enemy Designs? (pls note this isnt graphically, we all know FFXV wins [X1/PS4]) - I think this one is more of a tie.

8. Will Have The Best SideQuest? - Xenoblade if the first game is to go by anything. They had some amazing quest chains in Xenoblade, specifically the nopon kingpin quest.

9.  Overall Better Game? FFXV/XCX......... Both, Who Cares!!! - Xenoblade.

10. Will You Get Day 1? (FFXV/XCX/Both!) - Xenoblade is the only game I will get Day 1. Not just between the two. I'll pick up FFXV down the road depending on how it reviews.



1. Either one.

2. FFXV

3. X

4. FFXV

5. X for sure

6. X

7. X but maybe FFXV will surprise me

8. FFXV

9.X but Xenoblade Chroncles is my favorite game so...

10.  X for sure, if I have PS4 by the time FFXV xomes out, I will get it day one



Pretty difficult to say at this point for me, especially considering I haven't played the first Xenoblade game.  I am also making a lot of assumptions as I haven't been followiwng the news for either too closely, mainly just keeping up to date with trailers

1. Will Have The Bigger World? (In Actually Traveling Land Size) - FFXV, the trailer with the car and all those open fields with roaming beasts suggested to me they were making it clear as possible that they were making a large world that could generally be explored at the player's discretion.  I expect both to be more than big enough though

2. Will Have More A Depth Feel to It? (Talking World, as in Landscapes/Citys/etc) - FFXV seems more varied at this point

3. Will Have The Better Combat? - I'll just say a tie at this point.  FFXV seems more dynamic, XCX has mechs

4. Will Innovate better Gameplay? - I don't expect either to innovate, but I expect strong gameplay from both

5. Will Have the Better Story? - I have low expectations for both

6. Will Take Up Most of Gamers time? (Replay value+Longevity) - Couldn't say

7. Will Have The Better Enemy Designs? (pls note this isnt graphically, we all know FFXV wins [X1/PS4]) - FFXV enemy design has been impressive so far, but I would give XCX the edge right now, those dinosaur like creatures and the large ape creatures looked particularly good

8. Will Have The Best SideQuest? - Both will be generic, but I don't really find that bothersome if the combat is fun and the environments are interesting

9.  Overall Better Game? FFXV/XCX......... Both, Who Cares!!! - I have given FF more wins, but still feel like XCX might be slightly better.  So basically, I have no idea

10. Will You Get Day 1? (FFXV/XCX/Both!) - Neither.  The only way I can afford as many games as I do is by not buying them at full price
