I started Xenoblade Chronicles for the first time tonight.

Board 8

Xord was a great villain. So cheesy and cliche, but still a lot of fun to listen to. That cutscene afterward has me super-hooked on the story, too. The mystery guy controlling Thunder Bird is intriguing, but what I really want to know is what's up with the Mechon. I usually set myself up for disappointment whenever games have bizarre stuff like this in them, because they never explain everything adequately, but I have high hopes for this game, if you couldn't tell already.
