It is a much newer game, and even this remaster of the original can’t compete with the more vibrant, detailed landscapes in its sequel. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 wins on some points. Unlocking Blades took forever, and you would get dozens of worthless ones before your nabbed one worth using.Įven the aesthetics are better.
I also do not miss the Blades, Xenoblade Chronicles 2’s Pokémon-like system. But fighting in the original feels good from the beginning, and it gradually gets more complicated and rewarding as you progress through the adventure. After dozens of hours, I was able to understand and appreciate the combat. In the early parts of the game, that frustrated me more often than not. Almost three years after beating Xenoblade Chronicles 2, I can’t even remember how the fighting works. Its battle system is much less convoluted. It’s not Shakespeare by any means, but at least the game doesn’t make me roll my eyes at every cutscene.Įven looking beyond the characters, there are a lot of reasons to prefer the original Xenoblade Chronicles. That’s a big reason why I already like Xenoblade Chronices better than its sequel. Again, his defining character trait is that he’s nice. When it comes to depth, Rex himself isn’t any better. And don’t worry, she is also a great cook! It’s like the developers went out of their way to create the ultimate gaming “waifu.” And if you dare to do a little googling, you’d see that they have probably succeeded. All she does is support the main character, Rex. Her defining personality trait is that she is nice.
Every hero and villain is a one-note trope to an extreme degree, an almost shocking achievement for a game that’s so long. But if it comes across as dumb and pandering, it distracts from the game, and it’s just so blatant in Xenoblade Chronicles 2.īut Xenoblade Chronicles 2 annoyed me with more than just the appearances of its characters. And before someone decides to yell at me, I have no problem with developers making their games as sexual as they want. But it’s just not as over-the-top as what I saw in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Heck, you can even dress your entire party up in swimwear, if you like. To be fair, the first Xenoblade Chronicles doesn’t exactly portray its characters as Quakers. She almost looks modest next to that ice bunny girl. At least Pyra has a cohesive character design.
