Xenoblade Chronicles 2 preview embargo up - Impressions
- Thread starter SpottieO
- Start date
My decision into to buying this game will be determined by if it's less single-player MMO (like X was) and more traditional JRPG (like I was told the first Xenoblade Chronicles is). I love JRPGs and I love playing JRPGs on a portable, which is the better way to play this genre almost every time in my opinion. I'm going to read Gamespot's review and Polygon's review-in-progress and hope for the best.
Not sure why'd he need Fireproof Shield for that, but hey, all's well that ends well.
This is a bit of an embarrassing post TBH. You didn't provide any basis for your claim even when I specifically asked you for it and now when you're proven wrong you come in with an "I told ya so!".....?
Are you arguing in good faith here or not?
Seems like they struggled a little with fully understanding the combat because of they feel a let down in the tutorial and some annoyance at not getting more rare blades from crystals. All understandable, I could see the rare blade thing causing alot of butt hurt. I hope I'm able to get the Blades I want. Pray for me haha.

It means that the game needs to have content that it doesn't just feel like fetch-quests, eternal grinding and a story and characters that I actually enjoy and can relate too. Xenoblade Chronicles X felt to me like playing White Knight Chronicles but with mechas. And I hate WKC in ways you can't imagine.
I'm with you here. The NISA-Store has done the same with one of their Switch Games (or the one in partnership with Koei Tecmo). Giving you a Blu-ray seized Steelbook for a Switch game is utterly hilarious. And so it is for Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (US). At least you can put the OST in the Steelbook, but, I be honest, would be a huge letdown for me. I also don't like the design of the Box of the US Special Edition very much.
I'm glad I will get the european version even if it means to sacrifice the hardcover for a paperback.
You can't buy it twice anyway. Any account on your switch will recognize the game as being purchased
I can instantly tell it'll be good enough for me! Nice to know.
Just contacted Amazon Italy and they confirmed that there has been a general delay from the distributor...goodbye xeno weekend :(
Lol would it be okay if i posted that screenshot you asked everyone to grab a couple of hours back?
This looks better than what some have described in this thread.
I compiled all of the non-spoiler tutorial screenshots I made into a imgur album, as requested earlier. It's not 100% complete, as I didn't take screenshots of the super obvious stuff like how to use the map or camera, but battle related things like stringing combo's and cancelling arts, it's all in there.
edit: link removed, imgur fucked up the order of the images. Reuploading now :(
edit 2: It's back! Should be good now.

I buyed the game in south africa shop, first time downloadingm can anyone tell me why the switch is so slow compared to my 3ds/ps4?
Thanks! Definitely ask TheMoon to include it in the OT, I'm sure others will find it useful too.
Speaking of, where's that OT?
It's an 86 or 85 depending on which site you go to. Still a ways from 77.
Ugh, imgur somehow completely screwed up the order of the images despite it looking fine when I finished uploading. I'll have to reupload them, so just a heads-up if you already bookmarked the old link.
Now that the review embargo is up, I see that. The first three reviews I saw were gamespot (70) and some 60s, lol. That was when I posted that.
How reliable is Best Buy with ensuring release date delivery for video games?
My Amazon pre-order hasn't shipped yet, so I'm not feeling confident this will be delivered tomorrow. I think I'm done pre-ordering from them.

Yeah the lip synching is the reason I will play it in japanese, even though the cutscenes have so much action sequences and the characters are expressive as they are. Kinda better to play in a language you understand just out of fear of missing some nice scene while you're reading the sub. But I can't live with this kinda lip synching.
The fixed tutorial screenshot compilation album can be found here. Again: it's not every tutorial in the game ever as some things are obvious, but this should cover most of the more complicated battle systems.
