Wow, this is getting great reviews. Awesome stuff. I'll definitely be picking this up when I add a Switch to my console collection later on the line.
There's just no way the sequel could ever top the greatness of the original. That cast, that story, and that Wii... Best JRPG in years in which none have surpassed it.
Like me and many others, the one thing to know is to have alot of ether damage, seen people blindly win that fight due to understanding that ether is the "special attack" stat of xenoblade, Mellia is excellent for that fight i heard.Disciple Lorithia made me dropped the previous game. That fight was impossible for me. Loved the game till that encounter
Still looking forward to play XC2.
This reviewer didnt like the difficulty spikes:Any review mentions how long it takes to finish the game in a relatively straigtht line? And how is the difficulty?
The gameplay is actually kind of fun but the difficulty curve is badly managed. Theres no reason for random battles with lower-level enemies taking upwards of ten minutes.
It was a genuine struggle to get past the difficulty spikes and bloated systems to get to the nuggets of fun hiding beneath.
If you played Xenoblade Chronicles 2 with a cheat device or walkthrough it would probably improve the experience, because you could bypass all the boring grinding and rough difficulty spikes.

Persona 5 is not bad anime imo.
Its high quality well written adult stuff.
Xeno 2 kinda looks like bad anime.
Childish generic character artstyle
Meh voices.
I did order the game but i really have no clue if i will like it.
I disagree. Xenoblade 2 is not bad anime imo.

Interesting review. It's from the POV of someone who didn't like the original XC. And, some of his criticisms seem fair. I loved XC, did not love XCX, and micromanaging a bunch of systems and menus can be tedious. But, all other things considered, I'm reasonably sure XC2 is a game I'll enjoy.
But, no game is right for everyone.
The first was just called Xenoblade Chronicles, on Wii and 3DS. The game being discussed for porting to Switch is Xenoblade Chronicles X (Wii U), which is actually the second game. I never played it.
Either way I don't think playing in chronological order matters.
I honestly di never find the appeal in Xenoblade. What I really never could understand is the praise of the story back then. To me it was just standard JRPG stuff. But I also play a ton of them.
It was the Nintendo crowd, not many play RPGs

You can already play with Japanese voices and english subs. There's a free dlc with the japanese dub in the eshop.Beautiful looking game and the scope seems rather vast. However, having watched some videos, the english VA (and the script) felt too damn cringe worthy. Honestly, after having watched a shit ton anime, I have come to realize that most of these quirky dialogues and tones do not translate well into english. Hopefully, they have or will have an option to use JP VA with english subs for those who feel the same.
Oh come on. Xeno-games were standout even on Sony-systems.
