Can't wait that ending where they meet shulk and rex and they touch swords and say "that really was the xenoblade chronicles"
IVE BEEN SAYING THIS YES
"swords"
The real Xenoblade chronicles were the friends we made along the way
As they continue to touch swords, Shulk moans, "I'm really feeling it."
@@raihidara LOL!!
Fantastic disclaimer at the start guys. You know how to take care of the fans. Appreciated.
Agreed. Haven't seen any other reviews take into account spoilers to this extent! 👍🏻
Yes
This was an amazing review! Extremely respectful of the source material and audience alike. This honestly has me even more exciting to dive on in haha. Only a few more days left!
I can’t believe this was going to originally release in September.
@@dustingonzalez8080 Honestly same! It blows my mind that a game could actually be moved up sooner than the original release schedule haha.
"i cant help but hope for a future title that explores this concept to even greater effect" @5:00 Yeah, it's called Xenoblade X. Doesn't get much better than exploring the world in a mech with full flight functionality
Traversing the sea by boat and using a mech to fly are different experiences.
Really like the review.. I can really feel like you really played the game and carefully weaved everything and presented it in a compact video full of very important info anyone can learn a thing or two...
Not having to craft multiple of the same gem is AMAZING. Thank goodness
I really appreciate the extra effort of cropping out subtitles. I know I'm not the only other person watching this that already knew they were gonna buy it. I'm just curious what other people think about it while also avoiding spoilers. Thanks!
This is just about my exact perfect dream JRPG.
Im so excited for this one, since I didn't had an amazing time with the previous one.
Amazing review by the way, keep up the good work.
Because of how amazing this review is, the real care and passion.
I subbed.
Looking forward to playing it. Glad I got the collector’s edition.
Very excited to start playing this. What a great written and presented review. Awesome work!
the hero characters are kinda sounding like legendary blades, i like that, but i LOVED the legendary blades in 2, seriously so many great characters. so gonna miss that but having a full 6-7 people at a time in your party is really good. sadly gonna have to wait a bit to get the game thanks to finances and as much as i wanna play this, a few other games are priority, bayonetta 3, pokemon violet and a few tohers coming out soon
I'm hearing really good things... although I'm kinda worried about the ending. We'll see.
Basically all other reviews from anyone else love the ending and think it fits perfectly with everything else, so it’ll probably just as good if not better than the original games
I seriously cannot wait for this.
2:30 Noah is an offseer, not a seer.
... huh... that made it through multiple rounds of editing. But yes, you are correct.
@@NinWRTV It happens, not a big deal. Just thought I would point it out.
I will never forget Shulk. The Story was insane in 1 and his VA did such a good job. I hope 3 can unite 1 and 2 in a satisfiying way. 1 will forever be my favourite though.
why is Valdi such a higher level than the party at 8:37 ? lmao
Not sure if I would get an answer, but are sidequests generally in any awkward situations where something urgent is going on in the story arc but the party just randomly decides to fetch someone's frying pan or something. This really bothered me in XC2
That's every right though so probably not
Dude, in XC2 after chapter 7 or 8 it doesn't feel right to do sidequest but I think is normal in this genre of games
I love Alexandria’s tackle. Touchdown!
I actually didn't like much of 1 and 2nd game... but 3rd game hooked me right in with first trailer. My god, that flute work wonders.
I preordered the game and the expansion pass on my Switch
14:30 Being part of the XCX community hurts sometimes 😞
Amen.
You see. I want a Zelda game that has sky elements like skyward, train like spirit, land like breath, ocarina majora, etc, and sea like wind
5:37 i had to try that jump so many times 😅, good thing it is easy to fast trave and just retry
I’ve played 40 hours and I can definitely say this is my new favorite Xenoblade game. I loved definitive edition but the gameplay was not as good and me being completionist, I was frustrated about missable items.
This game seems like an improvement of the first and second game (definitely the second). I never played the second but I can tell my enjoyment from what I’ve seen. The only thing I was disappointed was the resolution in handheld and docked mode. It just didn’t pop as much as I wanted to. I think xenoblade 2 looks better overall tbh.
What they said about the ending has me really concerned ngl
They're the only review to take any issue with the ending so its probably nothing.
Loved your preview video and knew you wouldn't spoil anything so I felt pretty comfortable watching this review.
Thanks for your thoughts!
Great review! I'm so hyped!
yo the game has parkour nice
What an excellent review. Thank you for producing such a high quality video.
Although I already bought it and played until chapter 4 I still don't regret watching this nearly a week later
Amazing review ! But im now a little more scared that the story might not have a finish/ good ending.
I hope that it’s just slightly unfinished and will be resolved by the DLC.
Don’t worry, it’s said to be just as amazing if not better than the previous two games. No offense to this guy, but he misinterpreted 2’s plot a ton, so I’d be willing to bet he’s just missing something
The story has a full complete ending. The DLC is over a year away and it will be a separate story scenario.
@@puneetkaranth6133 The DLC won't change the ending at all.
GREAT review, just had to drop in and say that.
Is that Addam no spoilers in the thumbnail? No spoilers please
i had also that the game freezes short times, but only after playing long sessions, and before a crash. The game crashed 2 times and i did play a lot so not to bad, also autosaves are a thing
does anyone know the piano track that starts playing like 14 minutes in?
If I manage to beat Xenoblade 2 I can beat this one. Also this one being better than 2 is a very low bar anyway.
Glad that is more compare to Xeno1 than 2.
Both 1 and 2 are masterclass stories
2 is amazing though
Having goosebumps watching this review. Love the voice and the critiques...
I've seen the leaks about the ending and i agree that it feels a bit......off. Hopefully the DLC DOES eventually fix that, but it still feels like they kinda screwed up.
It’s really just a scummy practice on their end to try and charge you for the real ending I hate what gaming has become now.
You and this review are probably the only people to say that, as basically everywhere else has been saying that the ending is just as good if not better the the original two games. I feel like you’re probably just missing some of the context given by the game to truly get it
@@mrmaximum1001 not scummy since basically everyone else loves the ending, and giving more content is always good. What you’re sayin g basically hasn’t happened since Asura’s Wrath a decade ago. If you hate what gaming is now, then you’re ignoring most everything about it lol
@@DavidHosey1 You’ve responded to my posts like 3 times in regard to my comments I’ve also read several reviews I’m sure the game is great but if you look up some Reddit posts there quite few expressing concerns for such an ending. If anything I give credit to this reviewer for being honest bringing light to a subject that seems to go overlooked by other outlets. Now who knows the ending may be better than initially perceived but the issue I’ve expressed has been a common theme throughout the gaming industry.
@@mrmaximum1001 sorry I don’t really take time to read and remember ever individual in a comment section lol
But anyway, the posts you’re talking about are more just people worried before they’ve actually played the ending, not anyone who’s actually played it. Those who’ve played if praise it. This reviewer, while very good, is also someone who made an entire video misinterpreting Xenoblade 2 and it’s endings of various arcs. If he can be wrong about that, I’m sure he can be wrong with an even less controversial topic like an ending that is getting resounding praise
Amazing video thanks
9/10 ? But, yes. A nice review!
Fantastic review. Comparing this review to IGN makes IGN look like the worst reviewers to exist
They don't need help with that when they already are 😒
How did you get Valdi to level 74 ?
Lol it's exactly my thought. 😅
Your reviews 💟
This combat system reminds me of FF12! Which is a great thing IMO!
is it better then 1 and 2 combined?
It is 1 and 2 combined
It's a shame that the resolutions are still subpar. Nintendo should seriously push a stronger switch
You said near the end of the review that after finishing the game, you felt it left a lot to be resolved. I'm guessing that will be what the new story content for next year will be for.
This is becoming far too frequent in games unfortunately. Never telling the full story but saving it for DLC is very annoying. They do it because they know it will sell. Frustrating to say the least
Don't get your hopes up. Torna and Future Connected didn't resolve a lot of loose ends from their main games.
I hate how they did this. With torna at least it was an optional prequel but this just feels scummy
@@sdtrawick Imo there were no loose ends at the end of XC1 if you know the backstory of what really happened with Klaus from XC2. The only big loose end of XC2 would be the awakening of Pyra and Mythra, even though I heard theories that Pyra replaced Ontos as the third core of the Trinity processor
Torna was originally supposed to be it's own chapter in base XB2 but it was cut to be made into DLC, probably for being too ambitious since it's a prequel set in brand new sizeable map plus a slightly different Gormott map. I think the XB3 DLC exists for similar reasons, it just sucks that it's an epilogue which seems to be more crucial to XB3's story than Torna was to XB2.
Based on the cover art for the DLC with the three swords though, if it really is some big crossover between Noah, Rex and Shulk in a new world similar to XB1's Future Connected that caps off the trilogy I'd be okay with it being a separate chapter, I know Takahashi said in a recent interview XB3 is the end of this "thematic arc" too. Expansions like Torna or Witcher 3 Blood and Wine that feel like small games in and of themselves are worth the money imo. I'm cautiously optimistic.
Excellent review!!!!
how about the handheld mode experience? does it still have that low resolution?
2 was my first Xeno Chronicles and I loved it. I can´t stand how many times Shulk says Monado throughout the game. Small detail but really annoying.
There's a video that counts how many times Monado is said compared to aegis.
Yeah, I think this is review is too spoilery. Showing the boat, which was 50+ hours into the game for me, was a bit much. Let that be a surprise. There's no reason to spoil that. Was it really necessary to include that to complete your review? I'm really glad I avoided all reviews over a week ago. You should only showed footage from the first 10 hours of the game - that's enough. Poor judgement in video editing and script.
No offense but I don’t think you’re going to be right in the long term concerning the ending. Every single place that I look that delves deep into the story loves the ending, and given some of your misplaced takes on the plot points of 2, I feel like it’s far more likely to be just as high quality as ever. Not a dig at your at all, just what I’m seeing as probably the case
So given the ending will probably live up to the amazing standard set by 1 and 2, this game looks nigh perfect for anyone going in for the world, characters, and story
Copium 90
@@Jenema2 nothing to cope with bud Lmao
what do you mean by post game secrets
He means that there are secrets you can find post game.
@@trollingisasport i should have been more specific i meant how does post game work i assume its a save that put you back at the point of no return
Probably before the final boss
@@ancientrune1674 I think it not like new save mechanic I hope it just applies all save files even if u didnt make a file it carries over to fresh game file
Monster level 24 get bully by level 33
nintendo world report is more honest in it's reviews then nintendo life..
Why do people still mispronounce Keves
In regards to this video the pronounciation was correct tho?
The bulk of the antagonist are pretty underwhelming due to one not personality and uninteresting personalities. Could probably of had less bosses with more character so they landed harder
I hope my tired mind is just imagine it, but it sounds like you're bashing Xenoblade 2 and X quite often.
Anyway.... I'm sitting here, preparing myself for a long night in less than 2 hours.
X is my favorite one :P
I wonder if the ending really is that bad
Many games have cliffhanger endings and as long as the overall story is great I don’t mind especially if we get a sequel or bonus story.
I heard xeno 3 is like 100 hours soo I doubt the story would be lacking considering xeno 2 had 10 hours of cutscenes which is a big strength of monolith soft
It’s not like a cliffhanger ruins anything if you already ate 10 hours of cutscenes imo
Idk I hate cliffhangers, I want my stories/characters to get a conclusion. You can have an ending that finishes the story while still being open to a continuation. No matter how good the "journey" was if the ending is bad it ruins the whole thing, afterall the ending is your last experience with the game. Imagine eating something really good only for your last bite to taste like shit, the meal is ruined.
@@nerdycurls6253
A cliffhanger doesn’t mean it’s bad
It’s more like you take one last bite of an excellent meal…but you’re still hungry for more.
To me xenoblade more than makes up for it with great amount of consistent amazing story cutscenes
I prefer a cliffhanger ending from an amazing story than let’s say botw’s lacklustre final boss fight and ending which arguably concluded ganon (before we knew about botw2)
A bad ending and a cliffhanger don’t always belong in the same boat
spoiler at 6:17 plz avoid
... the random side area cave? The door? Those aren't spoilers their just common parts of the world. General world area visual spoilers were warned of in the initial text before the video starts.
No weapon changes? I dont know.... I want the dragon sword +10 in the end.... I dont like this
with everything looking so good - how are the enemy animations so bad? they break the reality for me. it's like the devs load the screen with numbers and words to distract us
It's a sacrifice needed to be able to retain good image quality and performance.
k bye~
The animations aren’t bad, like at all lol
@@DavidHosey1 character animations are great. enemy animations tho. for a game where you swing a big-ass sword, enemy animations that acknowledge physics would be really satisfying. But they don't. Most look to do the opposite - they twitch and jerk between different animations, failing to complete a path or move realistically in battle. Some folks might enjoy beating down a foe while they're having a seizure, but I think it's mean
@@planckstudios while I think violence physics could be cool, that was never the intent of the game. But the enemies don’t twitch around like you say either. Instead all character and enemies have specific animations that they go through, and many animations to react to different attacks that can knock back, pull forward, hit normally, to the left, to the right, in the air, slamming down, etc. That’s more than enough for a game like this, where handcrafted design was the intent over physics like Yakuza
Bro.. wtf... SPOILERS
What the fuck is “edgy hedgehogs” bruh
Sonic (my bad if you were being rhetorical)
Shulk confirmed or no?
Shulk dies
Play the game for yourself when it releases
Shulk is not in the game other than a very brief flashback of XC1 + FC party members.
Shulk tells Rex he's his father.
@@sdtrawick Thanks, I'll pass on this one too then :)
Honestly as usual the story couldn't sound any more boring but the game does look fun and that's what counts.
You really like going from video to video commenting troll bait opinions, huh?
Lmao the story is the main selling point, and is almost defiantly peak fiction in the sci-fi genre. If you don’t like it, then you should re-examine it
@@DavidHosey1 don't know what you are talking about and you are wrong.
This is a gameplay game first story second.if you think this series story is anything other than just alright then you don't have very good taste in story.
@@SENATORPAIN1 the Xeno name has always been story first gameplay second. If you can’t tell a masterclass in story and writing when you see it, that’s on you. Don’t act like your genuinely misinformed takes are representative of any facts tho, makes both the game and you look worse when you do
Keep commenting however much you want, hopefully you’ll eventually read something that convinces you to appreciate the truly great stories in front of you instead of whining that others have bad taste the instant you’re proven wrong :)
@@DavidHosey1 I think you write better than this game does.
@@SENATORPAIN1 well as an aspiring author on the side, thanks a ton. But given the writer of these games is an architect of his work and you haven’t seen any of my stuff, you must not be looking at this game or be hallucinating bud lmao
So a half baked ending for a $60 game with the true ending locked behind an overpriced expansion pass? Really crappy to put it lightly.
Not a half baked ending, this is the only review that has any problem with the ending so he almost certainly missed something
No true ending lock behind anything, that’s just false
The dlc isn’t overpriced, we already know their expansions are the size of entire new games
Not crappy at all, you should make your own opinions from either more than one source or playing the game yourself instead of complaining about it after 3 sentences make you worried lmao
Live-A-Live is a complete game for $50. Just saying.
@@TazTheYellow with a less good story and combat system. If you’re going for a split route game like that go for 13 Sentinels. Xenoblade 3 still might be better, but that game is still definitely worth a look
Nope, there is no DLC ending. The Expansion will be a completely separate story like Torna, probably with a different cast and changed combat.
@@TazTheYellow Live-A-Live is a glorified read along story book with barely any gameplay.
already played for 12 hours on tutorials and still can't get hands on that game. Frustrating game flow
