85 is a pretty good score, but it's not great. I'll end up playing this at some point, but I'm not rushing out to pick it up or anything.


85 on a Nintendo exclusive though... you have to deduct 5 to 10 points for balance.

That is one reason I am going to wait on this one. The trailer I saw had accents and they were really bad so I hope there is audio options.

85 is a great score. Stop inflating scores please. Anything above an 8 is great.

With the exception of Xenosaga II I have thoroughly enjoyed every Xeno game. Ill have to get over the art style this time though. Its always been anime but these characters have the faces of babies.

I wish we could get a xeno trilogy release on ps4.

I agree about 2 being awful to play. Thankfully 3 was the best in the series

Almost everything the reviewer said in previews and discussions suggests he's an idiot, though. Lots of blatant falsehoods about the information the game presents.

He may be right about the early story being predictable and full of scenes ruined by Tora and other Nopon, though.

3 was a blast. Shame that not many people seemed to experience it.

You don't need to play XCX first, tbh. It's not only different in terms of universe but it also has different mechanics from 1 and 2.

I'd definitely like a port though.

Same. I thought Xenoblade was enormously complex in terms of RPGs I already played.

So...one that you can't take with you? That'll defeat the purpose of the console, it probably won't happen.

What trailer is that? Ive only seen ones with Japanese voices. The British voicing was one of the things that made the first Xenoblade stand out for me. I get tired of every game being voiced by people with American accents or Americans using a fake accents.

It was on the Australian Nintendo YouTube page and the protag had an Australian accent. I wondered if that was something special for Australia and then though that was stupid. lol. Other characters had different accents that weren't as bad sounding. They gave Zelda an accent in BOTW that was awful too.

Of course good British voice actors would be preferable to bad, but bad ones are preferable to American voice actors personally just for the novelty of it.
