ninkendo 01/22/21 1:15:40 AM #61:	Top 10 Favorite Games of 2020 #2. Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition It's the GOTY 2010/2011/2012/2016 well you know the joke by now. It was legitimately my GotY in 2012. Like Demon's Souls this game is more than a remaster, but also not quite a remake? I felt it did enough new stuff including having an additional 15 hours of new content to make it eligible for the main list. The game is certainly no longer ugly to look at as they've gone full anime with these character models. Seeing all my favorite iconic moments again not only in HD but with these beautiful character models was a sight to behold. The remixed music is all very good and I went with them the whole time over the original soundtrack. The real star here though is the QoL improvements especially the sidequest tracking which was much needed for a game with 400+ sidequests. So wait why isn't it #1?! The main reason here I think is the new post-game content on the Bionis shoulder. While I appreciate that it tries to make some connections to Xenosaga, the story itself isn't anything too remarkable and it becomes evident very quickly that removing Shulk's Monado's abilities made the battle system something very different and not as good as the main game. Once you find all the Nopon Prospectors hidden around the map it also becomes super easy and you just blow through each fight. Still Xenoblade is a revolutionary JRPG and this is the best version of that game so please play it if you somehow haven't yet. --- https://imgtc.com/i/iJnhdkc.gif https://imgtc.com/i/j45EVGx.png <cite>ninkendo posted [p:949778104] in SHINE's Fa...
