And it's like it started to gain praise once it got its name changed to Xenoblade, hmmm......
It's funny, because it's absolutely nothing like Xenogears or Xenosaga in terms of design or story, beyond some recurring themes. And frankly, it's better for it.
It started getting praise when people actually played it.
This extends to the graphics, too. The graphics don't come across very well in screenshots, but when you see them in game, it becomes clear that despite the low-res textures, this is one of the best looking Wii games. In fact, it has good graphic regardless of platform.
Dat draw distance.
The best part, though, is that unlike games like FFXIII where you're shown pretty vistas then can't actually go there, in Xenoblade, almost everything you can see, you can explore. And there's a lot to see!
Yeah basically this game turned out to be the polar opposite of expectations.
