SHULK TAKE IT EASY! THIS IS THE MONADO'S POWER! Bros it's the GotY 2010, GotY 2011 and GotY 2012. I had been following this game way back when it was called Monado: Beginning of the World. I eventually caved when it seemed like we weren't going to get it and modded my Wii to play the PAL version. Then Operation Rainfall happened and we got it again and I had to play it all over again! This is easily the best RPG I've played since the heyday of the SNES when we had games like Final Fantasy VI, Earthbound and Chrono Trigger. I would put this game right up there with them. Sure it's not the prettiest thing to look at, but the characters/story/music/gameplay all hit in the right places for me. Shulk's quest for revenge leads him across the corpses of 2 giant titan gods one natural and one mechanical in a war between the Homs and the Machina. The music is up there as some of my favorite songs ever not just in a video game, but just in general and the gameplay is essentially Final Fantasy XII on steroids. They take the single player MMO combat and blow it out to give the player more control of what's going on and it has the whole break/topple/launch/smash system to try to get you to perform combos in that order to maximize damage. Xenoblade X and Xenoblade 2 were also both very good, but didn't quite live up to the precedent the first game set (although I love that Xenoblade 2 earned its number by actually going back to first game and showing how they're connected and the true nature of that universe). In the end the Zohar is the true winner here let us all pray to our Monolithic god. https://i.imgur.com/MvaFXe5.png --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
