Xenoblade Chronicles, where do I even start. Nearly everything about this game is phenomenal. To get my complaints out of the way first, the side content is boring to say the least. It mostly is comprised of fetch quests, or go here and kill x amount of enemies. With my complaints out of the way, let me get to what I like about the game. All the twists and turns the plot take are insane. It has some decent foreshadowing, an incredible start, a gripping narrative, spectacular gameplay, and a cast of characters that are diverse with their own motives that drive them, making it feel natural for them to all come together. The characters have such a wonderful dynamic to them that truly makes every scene they are in enjoyable. The gameplay is deep, with lots of customization, with 7 different characters with very different playstyles. The artstyle in both the original and the remake are beautiful and stand on their own ground. The villains are all (mostly) great, Zanza, Mumkhar, Egil. All amazing antagonists that fit the plot very well. Dickson was decent as an antagonist, but they "foreshadowed" his betrayal WAY too early. Lorithea was the worst of the bunch, she didn't do much of anything, but she was fine for her role I guess. The world is a very interesting setting. Taking place on 2 giant titans with varying areas that have so much spectacle. Being able to see where you are on the titan in perspective to where you are is a very nice touch that makes the environment feel more grounded and real, even though its so out there conceptually. Being able to see other body parts of the titan while exploring certain areas is also a very nice touch. Everything this game does with it's gameplay, story, characters and areas are fantastic and I absolutely adore all of it. Xenoblade Chronicles is a defining game of the JRPG genre that anyone who has any interest should try. It's a must play for and fan of RPGS, there truly is nothing else like it.
