I've dreaded to come out and say it...

Xenoblade isn't my thing. I found the gameplay stimulating only during short occasions. Maybe I'm just too impatient. Maybe I just don't get Xenoblade.

This game does feature fantastic music as well as strongly produced cutscenes, but I seemed to enjoy the action present in the cutscenes more than a lot of the actual gameplay. Can't say this is a bad game at all, but maybe it was my pride that got the better of me that wanted to finish it all the way after paying nearly full retail for it, even though I was ready to move on within 20 hours.

I wanted to have come away with a better experience for a beloved jrpg series. But, the final potent and moving scenes did leave a good taste in my mouth, and even though it probably won't be for a LONG time, I'm open to someday potentially trying out X1DE.
