I played it on Switch but I liked it a lot. I also enjoyed Xenoblade Cbronicles 2 and XenoBlade Chronicles 2 Torna The Golden Country and Xenoblade Chronicles 3.

The one I didn't play that I heard was really good was Xenoblade Chronicles X on the WiiU because I never had that system and they didn't port it to my knowledge.

Great game, the exploration is incredibly fun. No port; hoping for one for the next system with hopefully lots of QoL updates.

Sadly they've flat out stated that the game is way too large and they are very unlikely to ever port it.

I've played and loved every game in the series, but XC1 is still my favorite in the series.

Too large in what way?

The world itself. Too much landmass to port.

Not that it's too big but that it'd take far too many resources to port that they might as well create a new game.

Yeah, the Switch version has some really good QoL improvements. The side quests are considerably less aggravating.

I'll take a friggin remake if it means being able to play it anew. I still can play it on my Wii U, but I don't want to dig out that system plus delete my original file.

This. The Switch version has some very nice QoL improvements (especially for finding important collectible items) and the Future Connected Epilogue is nice.

I saw that they said it would be too expensive and time consuming because they built the game around the Wii U Gamepad. And that they'd have to make changes to the story to make it make sense with the other XC games.

I hope they reconsider their stance on that at some point. The sense of scale in that game was amazing. Getting a Skell for the first time opened things up so much

if switch 2 can do dual screen gameplay undocked with the TV, then they can do it

Its A great Albert flawed game sadly. The gameplay and mech play are great along with the world and characters but the game doesn't really entice you to actually explore any of it. Or At least the main hub city.

Since narratively without spoiling things youre somewhat in a rush(story wise, not gameplay). And no main story objectives actually take you through the town where a bulk of the side missions for characters, lore and world building are.

It was so bad that i didnt realize you could recruit over party members until endgame. Each with their own affinity missions I could have raised during the game.

Yes, and they cited the size for why it would be too expensive.

No, they said it was because it was too big: https://www.gameinformer.com/2018/10/18/monolith-soft-says-a-xenoblade-chronicles-x-switch-port-would-be-too-expensive

The Wii U gamepad absolutely is not the culprit as while it would require retooling, that would not be a relevant distinction for cost over something like a port from the GameCube and the wild backed on its controller.

I swear I've seen other interview quotes that also mention those things, but I can't find it.

Either way, I hope they reconsider not doing a port. Or at the very least, give us a sequel to wrap up that story.
