Xenoblade Chronicles is a sprawling JRPG adventure set atop the frozen bodies of two colossal titans. Its battle system blends real-time action with strategic elements, its environments are breathtaking in scale, and its story tackles themes of war, destiny, and the bonds of friendship. While a bit rough around the edges due to the Wii's limitations and with a few pacing issues, Xenoblade Chronicles delivers an epic, satisfying journey filled with memorable characters, beautiful vistas, and a rich world to explore.

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.

A game can, in fact, have too much content.


A phenomenal, one-of-a-kind RPG. The narrative gets a little lost in the sauce, but has tremendous highs along the way. Tactile and unique party-based combat makes the 100-hour runtime fly by.

Peak worldbuilding, this game is pure sex. Shulk is one of my favorite characters of all time!

When you think of a game that makes you fall in love with an entire genre, Xenoblade Chronicles 1 is one of the first that comes to mind. A game so good that literally lead to a fan petition to make Nintendo port it to the west, that is probably responsible for making me fall in love with JRPGs as a whole.

It is able to present a world you want to immerse in, with an imagination and a vibe that feels immaculate to this day despite the slightly outdated graphics.

A combat system that is really odd for jRPG standards, being more keen to a single player MMO. But it's still able to feel entising and fun, with really smart gimmicks that fits in the context od the story.

SPeaking of the story tho.... my god, the highs of this game are probably some of the best momnts I have ever experienced in a videogame. The narrative of Xenoblade 1 is able to convey so much emotions at once while able to narrate a story of war and revenge of man that struggle to change the his future. The narrative also features a large amount of twists, that creates a masterpiece of cinematic levels.

Incredible and phenomenal. A must play for everyone!

monolith soft you will pay for your crimes

It's Xenoblade Chronicles, come on! THE Best RPG franchise of the modern generation imo.
