After nearly a decade of knowing about it, playing a bit of the Wii version, playing a good amount of 2, and then taking two years to finish it for some reason, I finally finished it and its incredible. See you in 10 years when I log Xenoblade X.
Rare perfect storm of a brilliant game externally enhanced by 2010s internet.
Remastered is better but Wii one is still perfection in my eyes
Its okay now
This game is a masterpiece.
Everything is amazing, the combat is very fun and developed, you unlock skills in combat as the story goes on and those abilities really reflect what the characters have learned narratively, it has really tough fights that I had to repeat many times but they are kinda tricky and doable once you understand them.
The customization is pretty nice, you have normal itemization but you also have affinitties between characters which allows you to choose between skill trees from those characters to share them with the rest, giving you the possibility to try many different viable builds.
Graphically it's outstanding, pushed the Wii to its limits and the Switch remake is truly good, the artistic design is awesome, it's kinda what I wanted for an hypothetical FF XVII haha. The game also has a nice exploration and backgrounds, and the whole idea of the world as we know it, being over massive titans was just mindblowing.
The music is a real banger and absolutely majestic and iconic, this game (and saga) has one of the best current soundtracks in gaming.
Characters are also really interesting and what they teach you is lovely, but especially, the story is absurdly good, it has an amazing pacing, incredible well thought plot, lots of foreshadowing, philosophy, sociology, science and politics, and an incredibly hooking narrative. God, what a story!
Go and play this game, guys!

Xenoblade Chronicles was the first JRPG i gave a fair chance and i absolutely fell in love with this game. I'm not really into this genre but Xenoblade absolutely sold me and i became a fan of this franchise.
A great JRPG that punches above its weight visually considering the power of the console it was on. It's got a lot of the fun story beats you'd want out of a Xeno game, some fun characters, a good battle system, and a killer soundtrack. The game really succeeds at conveying size and scope. The end of the intro scene where the camera continues to pull out further and further, traveling through a ton of the areas you will eventually travel through is extremely cool.
