    Xenoblade Chronicles X

    I took a break right away I beat the main quest, but not because I was tired of it. I still had MGSV on the docket to finish, as well as the new Fire Emblem launching and pretty much monopolizing my gaming life for two months along with TPHD. I think at some point I'll go back and truly dive...

    Xenoblade Chronicles X

    I'd really like this augment as I prepare for endgame. Do I need to unlock it before I'm able to actually create it? Or do I just need to gather the materials? Right now it's not showing any possible augments under the "EXP Boos" section.

    Xenoblade Chronicles X

    Did you go from a light or medium type to a heavy type? That's what I did with the first one I actually bought. It doesn't feel nearly as cool to drive around and things like that, but it's definitely more effective in battle in every way I can think of. I ended up just grinding to level 50 and...

    Xenoblade Chronicles X

    I've finally hit my first difficulty road-block in the game. Up to this point I've never had to take advantage of the difficulty decrease, but I'm definitely considering it for this one. Chapter 11's boss is killing me. I'm about level 46, but I just don't have the firepower to keep the second...

    Xenoblade Chronicles X

    They're completely useless from my experience. The refueling is still far too slow to be of any real use, let alone a substitute for using Miranium. Plus they take up a valuable probe spot which can absolutely be used for something better 99% of the time.

    Xenoblade Chronicles X

    I've had the skell flight module for a while now, and it's made me appreciate the game even more. This game has really done a good job conveying the sense of progression and steady power that the player receives; at the start, I can't even imagine exploring half of a continent within a day, or...

    Xenoblade Chronicles X

    So I finally invested in new skells and gear when I hit level 30 and was getting ready for chapter 8..... holy crap are these things powerful, compared to just being on foot at least. I had about 1.3 million gold in hand and bought the two most expensive skells to go along with my first one. I...

    Xenoblade Chronicles X

    I'd like to temporarily somewhat retract my previous statement about Tatsu. Now that I've taken a break from the main story for quite a while, I'm actually finding him kind of endearing as far as his role in some of the affinity missions go. They've really cut it with the stupid food jokes, and...

    Xenoblade Chronicles X

    I never hit any of the road blocks you guys have mentioned, but I feel like that's more because I don't think I ever really tried to push the envelope that much. I quested through as much Primordia as I possibly could at first, but I never tried to swim to another continent because the swimming...

    Lol, guess you got me on that one.

    Xenoblade Chronicles X

    This is one of the two things that I don't understand so far. The food jokes weren't even funny the second time, and he's starting to push into "Jar Jar territory" with how much he's featured. If he gets more relevance in the plot later on, fine, but as it is, I completely agree that he might be...

    Xenoblade Chronicles X

    It's a subjective thing for sure, and I certainly agree with you that Xenoblade had above average music. But I can't really say that I 1.) Consider it to be so above any other game ever that it's at the top of the list of things I look for in the successor, and 2.) That the lack of it is enough...

    Xenoblade Chronicles X

    I can understand this. For me personally however, I can name quite a few other JRPGs that have an excellent story and music to go along with it. Even just the more average Final Fantasy games have at least an interesting plot, with the better ones having some of the greatest stories I've ever...

    Xenoblade Chronicles X

    I've got about 25 hours so far, and will probably post my full and final thoughts once I'm done with the plot or something. But as it is, I believe I do like it more than the original, because I feel like the original's only advantage over X so far is a more cohesive story. I don't really...

    Xenoblade Chronicles X

    Quick first impressions and thoughts after about six hours today: 1.) The game is surprisingly cinematic. I was expecting some nice production values just like we got in the last game, but I have to say, I'm really digging how the soundtrack is used with sweeping camera angels and grandiose...

    Xenoblade Chronicles X

    I have work from 5:30am to 2pm tomorrow, but I've already paid in full for the preorder and will be picking it up as soon as I get off of work. Will be playing until my body gives up and puts itself to sleep by force, most likely. It kind of depends on what puts you off to JRPGs, I'd say. As...

    Xenoblade Chronicles X

    I obviously haven't played the game yet, so I can't do anything but speculate and theorize when it comes to how the game was received by some reviewers, but I can definitely see where a lot of people are coming from as it pertains to the issues that XCX apparently has. I'm not really surprised...

    Xenoblade Chronicles X

    I'm actually seriously considering this. Although I do love open-world games, I have to admit that I'm already a little intimidated by not only the size and scope of this game, but just by the sheer amount of gameplay options and menus there seems to be as well. I'd greatly appreciate some sort...

    Xenoblade Chronicles X

    Well, that make my choice a whole lot easier then, haha. Looking at what the special addition had anyway, it's not really something that I absolutely have to have. Art booklets are cool and all, but I've never really been the biggest fan of them. The custom flashdrive was pretty awesome though...

    Xenoblade Chronicles X

    I haven't pre-ordered yet, although I'm definitely going to. I kind of want the special edition as well.... but money is so tight that I don't think I'll be able to, even though the special edition looks awesome. I think just the game itself will be enough for me though.

    Xenoblade Chronicles X

    I'm actually avoiding the music at all costs until I get the game. I honestly haven't kept up with a vast majority of the info we got on this game since the Japanese release just because I want this to be an almost completely fresh experience. If the music is even half of what the original had...

    Xenoblade Chronicles X

    I have a pretty deep voice in real life, so I'll probably be going with "rebel" as well. Very, very tempted to go with "classic" though just because of how much I liked Shulk's voice.

    Xenoblade Chronicles X

    Haha, I wasn't going to play as a female anyway, so whatever. I'm hoping that I'm able to make a pretty accurate representation of myself so I can actually feel like I'm in the game even more. I do feel sorry for those that did/do want to play as a female and don't get that option though. The...

    Xenoblade Chronicles X

    Finally going to say my piece about this game: I absolutely cannot wait. I remember reading about Xenoblade from Nintendo Power (RIP my childhood) way, way back. I've always been an enormous fan of Final Fantasy and most JRPGs in general, so the concept of Xenoblade really appealed to me - a...
