To be honest the only value I saw in this game was the new artwork of Sanaki

If only the rest of the game was as good as the story...
Thankfully the next Xenoblade games improved from this one in almost all aspects, but it's always nice to remember the great tale of the Monado.

Better than the Wii one in pretty much everything, I don't think it ever had a chance

I hope that whoever decided to make the community mechanic mandatory got fired from the team

Probably one of my favorite casts of characters in gaming. This entry has a certain soul that the other xenoblade games lack imo.

I think I can safely rate this game now.
It's a pretty damn good package of content, however I feel like after a certain point it never reaches the same peak as it does after a certain chapter.

The cast of characters in this entry are amazing. They do remind me a lot about 2's characters.

I felt that the world design was kind of plain this time around, same with the music... But absolutely loved the references that you can find exploring.

Overall, it feels like a love letter to 1 and 2, albeit maybe playing a little too safe.

This could have been the definitive version of the game if the combat wasn't worse than in the original...

The increase in fps and changed psychics makes enemies behave improperly; inconsistent speeds, even more blocking and auto turn when backdashing an enemy, etc

The restored content and better translation is great, however. If you can tolerate the bugged gameplay of the Remastered, is still a decent port in the end.

Still my favorite Yakuza game.

Anyone who claims that this one should be skipped is wrong and cringe

Quite possibly the most complete, feature rich and quality game in the series, and one of the most complete games in all of gaming.

I do not believe there's a game out there with the same level of content and quality of this one. It's almost endless.

This game has always been a guilty pleasure of mine. I don't have any excuses; the game's vibe is just unmatched for me personally. It's pretty replayable too with tons of shortcuts to find.

Just go in with an open mind.

I actually liked the true final boss

I would give it 5 stars but I hate the rat fight

Linux port could be way better but it is still the sandbox game of all time

Honestly, this game has really interesting mechanics and probably the best soundtrack in the racing games, and also one of the best Sonic soundtracks.

If only they didn't abandon the game and instead supported it with fixes and more content, it could have surpassed Transformed.
