I doubt that tbh, for one this is not an easy game to imitate in everything it does it would not only take a good budget but a competent and consistent team to get anywhere near the quality of the original XC. For reference I played the XV demo and that still has a way to go before it comes close to the original XC's quality based on the demo and that's a game that isn't imitating, the problem with imitation you're treading ground someone has already left their mark on and even being a big publisher SE still has never created such a game like XCX so experience in imitating such a game is another issue.

It's the same reason no imitation has really come close to the GTA games as the developers are merely following R*'s lead.


Yeah. Monolith reinvented JRPGs.

You obviously don't play many JRPGs.

I am well aquainted with the Final Fantasy series, Megami Tensei series, Dragon Quest series, Pokemon series, Tales of series, and plenty of individual JRPG releases (Chrono, Terranigma, Secret of Mana, Rogue Galaxy, The World Ends With You, Lost Odyssey, etc, etc.) I also played Xenogears and Xenosaga I-III before playing Xenoblade. The closest JRPG to Xenoblade is FFXII, but the differences are still way too vast, and while FFXII's reception was poor Xenoblade's was a success. Xenoblade X seems to incorporate even more innovations to the genre. XBC also so happens to be the best acclaimed JRPG in the seventh generation, a generation which represented the decline of the JRPG. What am I missing?

Things that need to die in 2016: Defeatist attitudes of Nintendo fans

When Nintendo tastes a piece of that sweet mobile pie, the profits will taint their once solid stance.
you can more or less bet on it.

How sweet is it really?

There are some games that make it big (Clash of Clans, Game of War, Candy Crush Saga).

Number ten on this top list (link below) has the same revenue per month as approximately 200,000 copies of 3DS games would earn Nintendo.

Yeah, you have experienced the entire universe. *rolleyes*

Xenoblade did a lot of things right. And some not so right. The blend of all the aspects made for a great JRPG. How did it reinvent anything though...

It took a lot of cues and aspects from other games in the genre, and blended them together. FF XII, Tales, DQ... But it certainly didn't reinvent a genre at all.

 

Finally, as far as I'm concerned, Lost Odyssey is a much better JRPG. Heck, The Last Story "reinvented" the genre a whole lot more than Xenoblade.

Wow. That article's comment section is filled with pretentious dicks.

All right that should do it! Now I wait patiently for an article to be written about me! Free internet publicity!

I honestly wouldn't mind having both Xenoblades on PC. The mods that could be made for those games! Imagine Xenoblade Chronicles X with a full on online multiplayer along the lines of the Just Cause 2 multiplayer mod.
