SWI Xenoblade Chronicles X

Majestic, vibrant, almost peerlessly handsome, Xenoblade Chronicles X is Japanese RPG-making at its most ambitious and determined.

Nevertheless, this is contemporary Japanese RPG-making at its boldest and most imaginative in years. For every cliché - the helium-voiced furry mascot who totters along behind your group, the incongruous, schizophrenic rock-cum-rap soundtrack - there's an invention that hauls the open-world JRPG into the present, and then another that shunts it breezily into the future. Perhaps the game's greatest achievement is that, over the course of this journey, you settle into Mira and, in that mystical way of all video game greats, Mira settles into you.

As a critic who often overlooks the soundtrack of any given release, I feel it’s my duty to get this important bit of information out of the way early – Xenoblade Chronicles X has possibly the best soundtrack a videogame’s hosted in years, and I do not say that lightly. Hiroyuki Sawano brings an unforgettable mix of inspiring tunes and deliciously cheesy numbers to create something that will bury its way into the audience’s ears

Geschichte? Super. Welt? Wunderschön. Kampfsystem? Motivierend. Die drei wichtigsten Merkmale hat Xenoblade Chronicles X von seinem Vorgänger übernommen und ausgebaut. Leider hat das Rollenspiel auch die Schwächen mitgenommen. Langweilige Quests, verschachtelte Menüs und freischaltbare Hauptmissionen drücken auf die Spaßbremse. Das Rollenspiel ist nur für Spieler, die sich Zeit nehmen. Die bekommen über 100 Stunden gute Unterhaltung und das aktuell beste Japano-Rollenspiel geboten.

I began Xenoblade Chronicles X filled with enthusiasm for its intriguing world and gorgeous visuals. But like the hackneyed songs that play ad nauseum throughout, the gameplay doesn’t have enough depth or entertainment to sustain such a prolonged experience. Players with great patience for grinding are rewarded with intriguing places to discover and creatures to fight, but for me, only a handful of the 100 hours I spent wandering Mira felt like a true adventure.

Xenoblade Chronicles X is a genuinely enthralling game. It doesn’t take it easy on you though, and the perseverance and attention required may override the spectacle and beauty found here. Fans of the last game may also struggle with the tonal and technical shift, but if you want to experience one of the most involving, creative and expansive open worlds ever created, Xenoblade Chronicles X is essential.

Mira and its inhabitants are awe-inspiring, and experiencing everything X has to offer is a monumental and rewarding task. It makes the journey consistently interesting by giving you intricate control over your characters' abilities and gear, and by offering a wealth of new toys to play with as time goes on. You will roll your eyes at characters, and bemoan the unnecessary story padding, but these frustrations are quickly forgotten when you head into the wilderness in search of unexplored territory and unforeseen challenges. X is a grand adventure that satiates your appetite for exploration and combat in ways that few games ever do, but because getting started is half the battle, it’s an experience reserved for dedicated players who have the patience and energy to unearth its greatest treasures.

Xenoblade Chronicles X is epic in scope. Most of the time, it’s better for it; other times, it’s clear that the developers didn’t have a golden thread sewing together all of its various parts. It’s an unconventional JRPG in many ways, most notably in its reliance on gameplay and multiplayer over an involved single player adventure ripe with quality storytelling and climactic plot twists. Its narrative is lacking at times — pulling inspiration from some of the most overused tropes out there — and its presentation is problematic to say the least. All of that aside, the sheer number of ways to custom tailor the experience, the wonderful combat, the inclusion of an astounding multiplayer mode and the compelling, massive world that’s presented make it one of the Wii U’s best games as well as one of 2015’s most complete RPGs. It may not be the follow-up that hardcore Xenoblade Chronicles fans were hoping for, but it’s a worthy sequel all the same — just one that marches to the beat of its own drum. Its unflinching tendency to do things that were not part of its predecessor’s legacy will solidify it as not only its own game, but the best role-playing experience on Wii U.

There are many complaints to be made with Xenoblade Chronicles X. The game is certainly not lacking for issues, both small and large. And yet when I look back at my experience as a whole, I find myself just not caring about those problems. The story and characters are a bit dull, but I still played the game over five hours a day. The music may not have fit very well, but I still was in love with exploring everything I could. There are almost no moments of serenity, but I still stopped to stare at the view. I was confused about some elements 50 hours in, but I still kept playing and figuring stuff out. Some quests are a bit frustrating, and most lack any real depth, but I still did them anyways and had a blast doing it.

That is because ultimately, in what the game tries to do, it succeeds completely: it creates an incredible, breathtaking, awe-inspiring world that is an absolute joy to run around in, to fight in, to collect in, to look around in, to be in. It may not have done so flawlessly, but Xenoblade Chronicles X gave me one of the finest worlds gaming has to offer, and it populated that world with incredible things to do. You have the option to be a part of that world as well. And while you should not expect perfection or anything near it, I can say with absolute certainty that you should play Xenoblade Chronicles X.

The game's graphics and world are technically flawless and aesthetically gorgeous. Vast alien vistas are populated with bizarre insect cum dinosaur creatures and strange, Jack Kirby-esque Alien Space Gods. The creatures, and the world of Mira's alien ecosystem, are beyond fascinating, rendered with an attention to detail and whimsical inventiveness. The graphics and open world make the absolute most of the hardware, delivering the best exploration gameplay I've ever experienced. The size, scale, and scope of the world dwarf most other games in the genre. You've played MMOs with smaller worlds than this. The scale of the world is superb, with tightly-designed areas riddled with secrets contrasting huge open plains and mountains suitable for mecha combat.

The sweeping soundtrack by Hiroyuki Sawano hops genres from j-pop to hip-hop, electronica, and classical, all infused with an operatic sense of scope. It fits the game beautifully. Many areas and some combats have unique music, but some of the tracks will start to wear on you. Especially that one hip-hop bit that will get halfway through the first line by the time a combat ends. (I'd love to know how it ends, but I've never had a combat take that long while it's playing.) You can't adjust or turn off the volume of any of the game's sounds. It'll grate on you sometimes.
