Back at Christmas, I finally received Xenoblade Chronicles. I had spent a lot of time looking for it and despite seeing it online a few times, I never ponied up for the cash. I was pretty excited to finally play it. It’s hailed as an evolution of the JRPG genre, a breath of fresh air from the perceived static Japanese development scene, and hours upon hours of gameplay.
Is it all its cracked up to be? Is it the next step for JRPGs? Is it their equivalent of Christ’s second coming?
Sorta.
I’ll try to keep this light on spoilers, but as always, be warned.
