I initially wrote out an entire, multi paragraph review on how this game was so fundamentally broken and boring that it made me sad, but I realized that it wasn't even worth giving it that much attention. If I am going to spend 55 hours of my life with this dull and creatively bankrupt mess I might as well just move on. This game tried to be an emotional rollercoaster, but the most poignant emotion I have left it with is a sadness that I walked away from a Xenoblade game unhappily. What a shame. I've played worse games, but thats not the highest bar that I was hoping a Xenoblade game would clear
