Wait so is xenoblade the same thing as xenogears?

No, but is made by the same developer (mostly, Xenogears was an internal Square game but the people from that team formed Monolith) who basically use the Xeno prefix on a lot of their games.

"Are Xeno(x) and Xenogears related" has got to be one of the most consistently asked JRPG questions for the last fifteen years.

edit: along with "how could the (>1)th Final Fantasy game be called 'final'?"

The xenosaga subplot about that cyborg soldier protecting the little robot girl predicted the Dad Game genre

Gamespot couldnt figure out the battle system and hated noppons 7/10

Ign liked everything except the unhelpful maps and surprise skill check in the late game that requires you to have ground out a specific blade ability 8.5/10

I think i'll get it cause it sounds like the stuff i hated about xb1 arent in it and theres gently caress all nintendo games coming out for a few months as far as we know.

having an awful map is practically a xenoblade tradition so I'm not surprised, but it sounds like way more of a sequel to XB1 so I'm likely gonna pick it up now. Reviews are scaling largely towards "great" so I'm assuming it'll be way better than XCX.

I listened to Jason Schreier talk about Xenoblade on today's Kotaku podcast and it sounds like this game packs in every bad JRPG trope into one annoying package. He hated it. Bummer.

He didn't like the first one that much either and in his review for that he was just bursting to express how much he doesn't give a gently caress for it but held back lest he be crucified by Project Rainfall

That seemed to be a theme regarding a few Xenoblade reviews back when the game finally came out in America.

They talked about how much of a glorious battle it was to see fans rally and force the game to be released in the States and now it's here and huh this particular reviewer doesn't actually like it all that much.

Like to them the journey to get the game released was more worthwhile than the actual game itself was.

I am very close to completely finishing Mario Odyssey, I want to sit down and do it this weekend and then spend the remainder of the year getting all 900 korok seeds because I am trying to be a thrifty gamer and get everything out of the games I've purchased and I am also crazy.

If they want to rerelease XCX, then they should goddamn finish the main story. As-is it just stalls out into a cliffhanger right at the big mysterious reveal most JRPG's have at about the half-way/two-thirds mark.

Nevermind just plain not being very good.

XC would have been intensely better if it ended shortly after the big reveal so I can't say I agree with this.

I really want to like JRPGs damnit but it seems every one of the big ones* are just bloated for the sake of bloat or, even if great, incredibly long time sinks. I still may try this.

*this does not include Chrono Trigger as that amazing game is all killer, no filler.

sorry for the double post but we are almost for sure getting more on the new Yoshi game. I'd imagine Nintendo will probably focus a lot on that as it feels like the kind of game they'd release in the spring.
