Xenoblade Chronicles X - Review Thread

Since you've already gone through pretty much the whole game, you can skip the tedious grinding process and simply watch the ending on YouTube. Then you can lie to everyone and say you actually beat the game, just like I did.

Oh crap!

LOL

You got today, Wednesday, and Thursday to finish the game. Don't be like that :P

Thanks everyone, I'll give it a try and will hopefully have finished it by Friday. I'm actually a bit upset about this, because I don't want it to end :( This game has definitely left a lasting impression on me and I wouldn't want to rush it, even though I really want to start X as soon as I have that :D



My party is at 70 now. Is that too low?

It's not necessarily low for where you're at right now, but you have a challenging boss ahead of you that either requires an efficient ether setup or a high enough level to get yourself through with sheer brute force.

I loved the final sequence of Xenoblade. There was challenge!

I think being level 96 dulled some of the challenge for me lol.

I also just walked by all those space bosses. Didn't even realize you were supposed to fight them until I watched an LP. I guess they didn't want to mess with me?
 
Anyone have experience with ordering from Gamestop online and picking up in store? For some reason I decided I wanted the special edition and the only option was in store pickup. I'm just curious if they usually have orders on the release date or if they wait to ship to the store until the release.

Busted. Gotta tell everyone I know about it, Orakio.
 
I hope everyone who preordered from Amazon in the UK gets it on release day as their entire distribution chain is currently being crushed by Black Friday, Cyber Monday and the onslaught of general Christmas orders.

Amazon logistics those poor paid below minimum wage peeps are taking the brunt of it and let's face it they were never brilliant to begin with.

Well, I've also ordered in person and it'd always been there on release

Not sure about online tho.

Think it ddepends on your shipping speed

lmao I did exactly that. I quit playing Xenoblade at that exact same place, I had just entered the
bionis
and was wondering why I was underleveled when I had been doing my best for 80 some hours not to be too overleveled. Then I just youtubed the final stretch lol
 
Both my SE copy and the collectors edition of the guide are saying the 10th for delivery from Amazon.

I am one sad Heropon.

Regarding what you put in spoiler
as cool as their battle music was I think I walked past them in my level 75 completion. I seem to remember the one I did fight the party morale went down for each hit you did against them implying you're not supposed to fight them. I initially thought they would give great EXP (as a callback to the easy to defeat Zemus's Breath in FFIV) but that wasn't the case either.

That reminds my last Amazon order went like this:
Ordered 17 Nov
Dispatched 21 Nov
Delivered on 22 Nov

But hey they've said Will dispatch 3 Dec for Xenoblade X since it is had a release date. Worryingly they estimate it will arrive Saturday.
 
I just got my copy today, much to my surprise.

But I am looking forward to, like always, spending hundreds of hours to see what kind of horrible creature I can make in the game's Character Creation Mode. Wish me luck!

So lucky. Mine will get delivered by the 4th thanks to Best Buy.

The reviews are great so my body can't contain all the hype.

The game looks really pretty, and I'm shocked that the Wii U is actually capable of performing such witchcraft.

I going to bench Lin at the first opportunity I get. She seriously creeps me out. D:

Anyone order from simply games? Has it shipped for you yet?
Click to expand...

I have, it doesnt say so, but you never know with simply, it might already be shipped.
It says on their website available now, so id expect it soon

edit: yeah it says play it tomorrow on their site right now, so i guess they do not give the slightest fuck
 
I don't think there's any way that I can finish the first one before Friday. But, I don't see why I'd have to be playing the new one immediately after launch if I'm still enjoying my time with the first. I only bothered preordering becasue of Gamers Club Unlocked discount and the Best Buy ePizza promo.
 
BestBuy orderers whose SE has shipped:

Did you receive an email from BB, or did you manually check your order status?

My order still says "In Progress."
 
Would love to play this game but I am not buying a Wii U at this point with the NX being so closed to possibly being released.
 
Question:
Will this game be sold for like 89.99 or 129.99 later?
or will it actually drop price or maintain the 59.99 price for at least another 2 years?

I can't see an og xenoblade situation happening again, but I also can't imagine it going down in price for a while.

I have a feeling this might end up like Pikmin 3 where it stays at full price but becomes very difficult to find in a year because of a pretty low print run.

Given that it is available digitally, the price is only going to go down.

But given that it's a Nintendo game, the price isn't going to go down very fast.
 
Waiting for my copy , this game gives me some Xenogears (PS1) vives although probably the plot story won't be so deep.

Truly a game that will mark the WiiU.
 
If I found the exploration in Chronicles increasingly tedious (mostly Mechonis) will I like this? The story isn't as good apparently but if it isn't too obtrusive I don't think that'll bother me.
