Xenoblade Chronicles X Switch

I really feel it

When Xenoblade Chronicles was announced for Wii localization, my heart skipped a beat. Although there are many JRPGs out there, the more the merrier, and I wouldn’t miss the opportunity to try another Monolith Soft game.

I didn’t have quite the same reaction to Xenoblade Chronicles X initially, but it’s really ramped up over time.

The X Timeline begins in AD 2054 when a mysterious alien race invades Earth and decimates humanity as we know it. Arks stretch across the universe, and the only known survivor is the White Whale, which crash-landed on the distant planet Mira. Launch a quest to establish humanity’s new home and you have the gist of what is going on.

To be clear, the story is in no way related to the original Xenoblade. You don’t have to have played the other game to get an idea of what’s going on, and by JRPG standards, X’s story is pretty clear and concise. The player progresses through the experience as a silent protagonist, with a small amount of dialogue options (rather moods) in tow. There’s no branching storytelling here – instead you follow a linear storyline, with the ability to control any party member as the main avatar, including the one you create.

Now that Xenoblade games are vending well and Pikmin 3 Deluxe is out soon, it’s time for the Wii U’s exclusive Xenoblade chronicles x switch.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3’s Success Could Help Future Titles
