Topic	I beat Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition
MechaKirby 08/02/20 4:46:55 PM #1:	I greatly enjoyed it. Far, FAR better story and characters than whatever XCX brought The setting was amazing and badass, it was cool to go further and all. I enjoyed combat much more in general compared to XCX. Everyone feels nice and has a neat gameplan While the soundtrack is good, I dont think its better than XCXs soundtrack, and doesnt come near FF. The rearranged soundtrack is good tho. Minor and Major Pros: - Expert Mode is a godsend, Cant imagine playing the original without it - I like all the playable cast, which is rare - Grinding for rare drops is actually not bullshit like a lot of RPGs, mainly cuz %s are reasonable and the chests linger after loading - Took a moment to get used to the voice acting, but now I love it - World Building is GREAT - Gem crafting is cool and simple - Game loads very fast - Getting stronger through story is very, very nice Minor Cons; - No always-on positional marker like XCX enemies turn and track very hard and often in this game compared to XCX. Kinda annoying - A lot of empty areas. While the game looks nice, there isnt much reason to visit a lot of these areas - Sharla feels under-powered - No AI options. Should be in every game that has AI partners - Lots of copy pasta 'Unique Enemies', only like 10 of them are notable - Chain Attacks feel random at times. Shoulda been a timer - Camera doesnt pan far back enough - Mid-game, Nintendo released a patch that made the quest tracker somewhat worse/ different - Only 3 save slots Major Cons - The Vision stuff is cool, but it gets old FAST, and kinda kills the pace of tougher fights. It also changes the music to something inferior - The Level/Color Tag system is dumb. 1 level can make a difference between a reasonably tough fight, and a fight that seems impossible cuz you cant hit them. happened to me on a certain climax fight and the soured the whole moment - 90% of Sidequests are generic as fuck and should have been regulated to a mission board. Theres so much tracking and backtracking for dumb shit. Cant imagine playing the original without the tracker - 80% of the armor and stuff is ugly as shit I give it a 8.5 The DE features definitely helped, cuz the original is a pretty ugly and messy looking game. XCX (a 8/10) has it beat in soundtrack and exploration. No plans on playing XC2 cuz it looks lame --- GTag/PSN: MechaknightX [] Switch ID: SirMecha [][] Arise, Tales of Arise!!! <cite>MechaKirby posted [p:942907814] in I beat Xen...
