Xenoblade X's length really depends on how thorough you are in terms of sidequests and exploration. The bulk of the game's content (even moreso than XC1 or XC2 imo) lies in its optional components. 70 hours isn't an unreasonable estimate though.
Yea I was kind of gauging off of that website. Seems crazy how long these games can be lol.
The later chapters are indeed longer than the handful of tutorial chapters in the beginning. And as you progress you eventually unlock more ways of traversing that open up a ton of the world, so in addition to the narrative sections being a tad longer you might also spend more time just freely exploring.
The chapters do get longer, but not by that much. Its mainly that a ton of sidequests and exploration opportunities open up as you go along, so most people end up spending more and more time doing optional stuff as the plot progresses.
My dream is that they'll patch the other XB games when the new Switch comes out so I can go back and run around Gaur Plains in the rain in 1080p.
Dude that would be so amazing!My dream is that they'll patch the other XB games when the new Switch comes out so I can go back and run around Gaur Plains in the rain in 1080p.
I'm not a fan of statues so these small amiibos are indeed wonderful.
Games are meant to be played, not invested in.
Xenoblade 2 got me so many times it isn't funny. Ch.3 and Ch.7 - Ch.10 all had scenes that were so effective and hit me hard.
I'm with you friend. Exact same situation.
I'm pretty sure they don't have collision b cause it would be a nightmare with skells
Yep
XB games have a tendency to start slow. They're very careful about not throwing a bunch of battle system components at you all at once, and sometimes it makes the beginning feel like an auto-attack-fest. The battle systems get really deep eventually, so don't judge the gameplay based on the first impressions. The training wheels DO come off eventually.
I really enjoyed the Japanese voices, BUT the English dub of 1 is exceptional. And this is coming from a hardcore subs>dubs guy. But 2 had this unfortunate rush where they were localizing the game while it was still in production and not really finalized. Some of the voice cast have said they received no real direction and weren't given the chance to read the script and prepare, so they were sorta just reciting lines the best they could. They mostly had to figure the story out for themselves as they were fed lines, and so there's this weird phenomenon where the performances in the dub of 2 get better and better as the story progresses. So you'll find some hardcore defenders of the English dub, and definitely still some people who prefer the Japanese.
Yeah, the Xenoblade 2 dub makes a really bad first impression, especially because Rex's voice actor just isn't as good at anime yells as Adam Howden, but it definitely improves as things go on. The really emotional scenes in the later chapters come across really well.
I didn't have trouble with either game in regular mode... But are you comfortable with JRPGs?
Your experience with difficulty in Xenoblade 1 is largely going to be a function of how many side quests you do.
Yeah I'm comfortable with them, so I will definitely try the games on the regular difficulty first.
I have nothing to add but I just wanted to mention how surprised and giddy I was for a split second because I got a notification that said ACE+ had posted in this thread.

Mitsuda put together his band Millennial Fair and has done concerts of Chrono and Xenogears OSTs, so I wouldn't put it past him to team up with ACE+ and do a XB concert as well.Sorry I'm not the actual ones
Would be amazing to be able to meet them though. I'm still dreaming of a Xenoblade concert similar to NieR's concerts.
