Haze touching his face before dying is also an amazing touch as Lora has done the same to Jin at the beginning of Torna, and Haze and Lora are always regarded to look alike.

How is the story in xenoblade 2?
- Thread starter JayWood2010

This is exactly my feelings on the matter. Persona 5 started off great but got worse towards the end whereas X2 started off really slow and boring but after Chapter 4 everything starts to take off and the last few chapters were ridiculous.
One of the best games I ever played.
I bought in the launch, but Zelda hooked me and I stoped in the second chapter, one year later I tried again and I was in love. The game is great and the Torna DLC is one of the best DLC I ever saw.
It was one of the best games Nintendo ever had.

It's awesome. However I fell off the wagon last summer after around 30 hours and I can't get back into it.
i love gurren lagann, but couldnt get into this one. i couldnt stand the characters in this game, and thats probably my most important thing in a jrpg. The battle system in these games has unfortunately always been tedious for me as well.
I didn't mind the story of xenoblade 2. I thought overall it was decent.
Problem was that there is a huge clash on every major battle of game vs cutscene. You could be whooping a character left and right then the cutscene starts and you're getting your butt whooped

It's not YSVIII but it's pretty good, after chapter 4 it's pace is way better.
The music tho makes it all worth it in the end

The overall premise is interesting and the implications set up through the world building could lead to fascinating story telling but the execution within the game is very uneven. Some things are really well done and other things get bogged down in juvenile anime tropes. My biggest complaint is that the last few chapters railroad you through a tediously high number of major cutscenes. The villains are also very uneven and a mixture of cartoon evil, broken by the world brooding, and sarcastic sociopath. Despite the ups and downs, the game has a very satisfying conclusion especially if you are invested in the characters.

NA (which came significantly later):
Exact same thing was done with Xenoblade X and Xenoblade 2, except for their NA logos being different.
Kind of odd that you're asking us to "prove" something that can so easily be looked up, honestly.
Well, if they pulled a Prey then I'mma stick with my original sentiment. I always think of Xenoblade (PS1) when someone says Xenoblade. That's a normal thing to think.
The PlayStation game is called Xenogears, not Xenoblade.
I still got my copy on my shelf. It's been there 21 years so I ain't falling for these false idols.
I did the same, but after 25 hours. Story is trash so far, just like the rest of the game. Don't know if it gets better but I just couldn't go on. Huge waste of time and money (bought the special edition).
The story is full of small details and references and foreshadowing that someone clouded by bias against a couple of comic relief cutscenes and the overall anime style won't be able to notice. Which just shows how shallow some of the "it's typical shonen crap" comments actually are.
The world-building is the most interesting part of the story. Every other part of the narrative is anime trash, but I unironically enjoyed said trash.
It's good, but the final scene is a bit underwhelming.
Of course, if you are part of the "no animu" army then this is not for you.

Very slow ramp up and the first few hours are boring both story and gameplay wise. Can't really blame anyone if they aren't use to these kinds of games to solider through it.
But the games slowly builds up and it definitely gets better as you go.
