TopicNew players of Xenoblade: is the hype real?

Hype backlash is a real thing, and the game doesn't really need to be hyped by the board any more. It came out of the fact that this game almost didn't come out on the continent most of the board lives in and seemed to depend on fan engagement to actually succeed and come out there. The only reason the game actually got a NA release was because it was very successful in Europe, which was itself because of a lot of the online hype. That's why some people on here still evangelise it so hard. Once that started it just never really stopped.

Personally the game is one of my all time favourites but I really don't think the way some hype it here is necessary. I always thought the GotY whatever meme was lame. It's like guys, Xenoblade has made it big now and has an amazing reception, you can calm down. It's a bit like if I was out there talking about this hip new series you should play - it's called Fire Emblem, not sure if you've heard of it...
