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.

What does this even mean? Sounds very subjective.

People laughed at me when I predicted a 77 on metacritic....

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.

Day 1 update has updated my game to version 1.1.0. The title screen has changed, I'll let you know if I see any other differences.

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.

Who wants a steelbook for a Switch game in a Blu Ray size? Wtf. That's stupid.

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.

Can anyone who's not in Australia confirm that you can buy the game from the Aus eshop and play it right now? I've already preloaded it from the Finnish eshop, but honestly I'm so hyped that I'm willing to buy it again from the AUS shop lmao.

You can't buy it twice anyway. Any account on your switch will recognize the game as being purchased

Now that the review embargo is over, does anyone have screenshots of the tutorials? I'd be really grateful as I forgot to took my own ones lol

I just predicted a number that's all.

I'm not arguing anything.

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.

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?

Sorry if this has been asked already, but if I haven't played any of the previous Xenoblade games would I be missing anything jumping in here?

Man I'm okay with most of the character voices but I wasn't prepared for the Nopon npcs I've met so far. So bad.

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.

The lack of lipsynching is very disturbing. Not that I expected them to make the lips match english of course, but lips are often moving before AND after a character actually speaks.

I've been kind of dark on this game in terms of gameplay, but I know the rare blades are basically a gacha system. How are they obtained and will it be possible to obtain all of them in a playthrough?

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.

Say you guys, you know what crossover character this game really needs as a blade? Samus Aran!
