Dualshockers ha puntúado con 9,5 el juego importado:


Being a huge fan of Xenoblade Chornicles, I was pretty excited when this game was first announced back in 2013 during the yearÔÇÖs first Nintendo Direct. I knew that a

Wii U purchase was in order soon if I wanted to enjoy the sequel of one of my favorite games of last generation.

With every new piece of information or trailer released, the more excited I was for this title. While there are plenty of other great titles on the Wii U, I believe

this game alone is enough reason to own the system.

Xenoblade Chronicles XÔÇÿs story is a little different than the first game. Humanity is forcibly involved in a war between two alien races fighting a massive battle over

Earth in July 2054. As a result, the planet is left devastated and humanity must seek out new worlds in massive Ark Ships.

Sadly, since the game was in Japanese, I couldnÔÇÖt understand the dialogue and the overall story of the game, so I canÔÇÖt comment whether itÔÇÖs good or not.

However, from the bit I understood and from what I inferenced through the cutscenes, the story seemed quite thrilling and made me wish I could fully comprehend what

was going on.

The game has a variety of quests aside from Story Quests, including Normal Quests, Simple Quests, and Kizuna Quests. These quests will consist of simple things like

talking to other NPCs around New Los Angeles, collecting items and defeating a certain amount of enemies.

However, this time around in order to proceed onto the next chapter, you will have to meet certain requirements such as explore a certain percentage of an area or

complete certain Kizuna Quests. Additionally, all Kizuna Quests require you to be a certain level to be able to accept, so grinding is mandatory.

At first, I was a little annoyed that I was forced to do other tasks before proceeding to the next chapter of the game, but the more time I invested into the game, the

more the feeling of annoyance faded, especially when I realized the necessity of these tasks.

If you plan to play the game for the sake of the story without completing any additional quests or requirements that arenÔÇÖt needed to complete the story then you are

taking the wrong approach. The more you play, the more you realize how significant your role is as a member of BLADE.

As you delve deeper, the feeling to contribute meaningfully and fight for humanity on this new and dangerous planet intensifies. Players will grow to understand the

importance of seemingly menial labor such as placing data probes and motivation to keep playing will expand from simply uncovering more plot to protecting humanity

itself.

As a serious fan of the JRPG genre, the game has provided me with an experience that recent RPGs have lacked. Sadly, the game isnÔÇÖt as easy as the first title

Xenoblade Chronicles, in which if you level up by completing the side quests, the game could actually become too easy.

In Chronicles X, even if youÔÇÖre completely leveled up thereÔÇÖs still the high possibly of you being annihilated by the enemy since success also depends on the gear that

you currently have. It is also vital that you learn about each class and master them.

Similarly to Xenoblade Chronicles, you will have the freedom to explore the world, the ability to run to virtually anywhere you can see in the distance, and the return

of the Arts battle system that involves both auto-attacks and a cooldown timer for each Art.

Your character will be wielding two weapons in battle, which consists of a gun for long range attacks and a knife for close-quarters combat; switching between the two

can be done immediately and as frequently as necessary by simply pressing ÔÇ£X.ÔÇØ

The game offers a variety of classes including Assault, Command, Forcer, Long Lancer and much more. Depending on the class you choose, your character will specialize

in different arts and weapons. As you complete leveling up a class, youÔÇÖll have the option to choose the next class within that branch.

The sheer variety of different classes to master is an enjoyable and fulfilling mechanic as it really adds more to the game. This multiple class system may seem

complicated at first, but as long as you grind and put in the effort and dedication, youÔÇÖll eventually learn how to use it to your advantage in creating a character

best suited to your needs.


The world of Xenoblade Chronicles X is absolutely massive. There are five continents to explore, in which the many Story and side quests take place in. I really

enjoyed exploring through the gameÔÇÖs beautiful world, especially at night where you get to see the moon. When traveling by foot, you will also be able to swim your way

to the next island.


Just like Xenoblade Chronicles, the character models and graphics in this title arenÔÇÖt too visually appealing, which is a shame because Chronicles XÔÇÿs world itself is

really beautiful. Despite the graphical downside, I really enjoyed navigating through the planet and discovering new lands.

As a huge fan of Xenoblade ChroniclesÔÇÖ original soundtrack, Chronicles XÔÇÖs original soundtrack was a bit disappointing.

DonÔÇÖt get me wrong, the game still has a great soundtrack and I will definitely be importing it once itÔÇÖs available, though itÔÇÖs simply not on the same level as the

first game. Most of the instrumental tracks were well-composed and very much enjoyable, I wasnÔÇÖt much a fan of any of the tracks containing vocals.

Xenoblade Chronicles X was absolutely worth the import, despite my struggles to progress through the game due to the language barrier. Despite that and my few

misgivings, I was still able to completely enjoy the rest of the content: combat, exploration, quests and Dolls, which truly speaks to the quality of the game.

IÔÇÖll definitely be picking up Xenoblade Chronicles X when it releases in English so I can fully experience every aspect of this title as it was meant to be enjoyed.

9,5/10
