This is without a doubt your best review, you were quite articulate without sacrificing your fun side. Normally I am a curmudgeon when it comes to skits, but goddamn I had to laugh when you were acting out the Blade summons. I also appreciated that you were pretty level headed about the game, you neither trashed it nor acted like it was a masterpiece, everything you said came across as really fair critcism and praise. You did a really great job with this one!

I've been binge watching all your videos... I am in awe, your channel is SEVERELY underrated, the quality of your videos is amazing and deserve so much more views + your reporter voice sounds so professional

Great vid, as usual. I wanted to point out the composer is Yasunori Mitsuda, who also composed Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, and Xenogears. A very talented person.

The skit of the Pelvic Gaming Blade Summon was hilarious!

First time I seen one of your vids. Amazing job on this review. I watched a bunch of these reviews and many left so much out. You did yours going into details others left out and were entertaining in the process. You also didn't fangirl out and worship it because Nintendo, like I see in so many other switch reviews, especially ones from near the switch launch. Instant sub.

Hey pelvic i have seen alot of video game review channels over the years and as a huge avid fan of rpg games my self since the nes era, your content really impresses me. Your ability to deduce and represent and depict rpgs in general is just spot on. You seem to understand the flaws, the pro's and con's of a game so accurately, that honestly i would not go to any one else to look up video game review content. you understand the industry, the history and even the artistic representation of video games. Instant subscriber!

What I didn't like is that in breath of the wild link can get a rex costume but in Xenoblade rex cannot get a link costume.🙁

I really like how you made this review. Keep it up with the awesome work! Also, greetings from Mexico:)

Great review! This was one of my favourite games I played last year, but it's not without its faults. I had a few freezing issues with one particular enemy that was needed for a side quest (the game would just freeze when completing the battle and trying to go to a cut scene). Although the voice acting isn't great, I loved that this was localised by Nintendo of Europe and has quite a few regional British accents in it. My main gripe with this game is the fact that chapters 9 and 10 storylines are almost a completely different genre to 1 - 8. Maybe the end would make a more sense had I played the original.

A lot of the issues you mentioned (Blade animations, graphics/rendering issues) were fixed in future updates, though I'm sure you already know that by now. As someone who also played this game since launch for 200+ hours, this was a great review! I really enjoy your channel, it's nice to see more 'girl games' out there who also primarily play Jrpgs, like myself haha. We're kinda a rare breed lmao

Oh wow sick dedication, I can trust a reviewer that went that deep into a game

Hi pelvic! I love your videos, we tend to agree and your commentary is always hilarious 💜 Do you think you'll give the game a second play with new game plus since it carries affinity progress over? I'm considering since it would take away the issues I had with field skills but also I feel it's not an excuse for the system, it's like a more inconvenient persona style of new game plus, ya feel?

Been waiting for this review! Did not dissapoint ! I'd say by far your best review I love the comedy in this video!

Great review Lady Pelvic! Xenoblade 2 is my fist entry in series and despite some game mechanics flaws i absolutely love it ! Especially the story which give me chills, laughs and little bit of tears :). I decide to finish every Xenogame. I know Xenogears is absolute classic but i have ''X'' as well. Where to go next? Maybe Xenoblade Chronicles 1? And am curious how you compare story to Xenogears.? I'm really excited that i invested my time in this series, it deserves far more attention from gamers !

Wow! What an awesome review. Everything you said is exactly what I felt as well. I enjoyed the game a lot, but I believe it needed a few more months in the oven. Some of the tedium with certain gameplay mechanics felt like a waste of time. The story was my favorite part and my main reason to keep playing. It kept me hooked! Overall, your review was top notch and informative. Nice job and thank you!

A part of me wants this game since I love rpgs and the first game of the series, but then I'm not sure this will be for me. Music seems great tho and I might pick it up if only for the story. Having watched a few reviews I don't really like this blade system (seems over the top). I might wait it out and save my money for the final fantasy lot coming next year since I know the classics I will be playing non-stop. Great review btw. New to this channel and so far loving your sense of humour and the in dept reviews. Keep them coming cause I'm already hooked xD

Nice review wish i had the time to play xenoblade 2

The mapping system in Xenoblade Chronicles X was made by staff who have been with Takahashi since Xenogears. However, not everyone stay in the same company for too long when changes are being made. Takahashi said 100 staff have left the studio since 1999 when the studio was founded. They have expanded to 208 people today but if 100 people hadn't been contracted or as full-time employee leave the company maybe same people would still be in the company. Masahiro Kabe who has been a map planner since Xenogears worked on Xenosaga Episode 1 as map planner, level design director on Episode II and map planner director on Episode III. Did worked on DS games (Super Robot Taisen OG and Dragon Ball Z RPG) as map planner after that and later on came back to console with Xenoblade Chronicles X and worked on lead level design for the field (mapping system). So lose staff of this caliber hurted Monolith Soft's quality a bit.

What a super critical review from you Lady Pelvic!!! I think all your points are valid but I think you may have overlooked the overall fun factor of the game which I feel makes up for a majority of the problems/nitpicks. Like the overlapping voice lines is terrible but the memetic value is God tier. I expected that you'd have a problem with some of the blade designs but Im surprised you didnt mention the lack of male blades too xD! Anyway, I feel like an 8 would have been a better score but Im glad you brutally gave it a 7 because the game DEFINITELY needed to stay in the oven a bit longer - at no point in time did I think they would meet the 2017 release window and it definitely shows that they had to rush it to make that date. Great review though, Monolithsoft needs to release Pelica as the DLC blade....that would be worth the entire $30 alone xD!

you got meeeeee extra weak haaaaaa when the skits in here lol

You look a-amzing that afo suits you Well! 😍 Amazing game too been playing it for hundreds of hours still havent beaten the postgame superbosses

Pyra is basically a wallflower. Mythra is wallflower that tries to be interesting. Shulk is best girl.

I laughed so hard...you know what you did. Thanks for that. Also great review. Dammit another game to add to my never ending list.

Good heavens, um, interesting blade designs there, Ms. Pelvic.

Thong over short shorts..... I'm legit in tears right now 😭😭😭😭😂😂😂

Only blade I wanted I got last after releasing and getting back several rare blades to increase my odds. No clue what they were thinking with the blade pull system.

Great Review. I think it's an 8/10 personally :) Loved it a lot, but definitely a lot of problems though. I recall an entire cutscene where the textures didn't load until the scene was starting to fade out. So the 2 people were chatting in what looked like a green screen room (the wall and floor were colored correctly just no textures). VA wasn't terrible overall, but there was some terrible ones. The sync was off putting for sure, but some was terrible. I hated Mythra's voice for example. Also, you don't *need* to play XC1 but it definitely helps to makes sense of things near the end.

So after your 192 hour journey with XBC2 will you be diving back in for the new game plus mode? On a side not I spent 180 hours on my first play through of the game😼 Morag was my fave of the main cast for ironically the same reasons as you listed” so wished I could play as her earlier on as I do not like Rex or pyra at all☠️”

Lol more skits please 😂 Happy to discover you’ve done reviews on all my latest acquisitions for the Switch. This one is in the mail. Wish they had included a bunch of sexy ass male blades too!

Love how you structured this. It's way better than mine is turning out as haha. Great job! I liked most of the rare blades affinity tress. I enjoyed making a day out of doing affinity tree side-quests but I can see how other people would prefer something more passive, that said, this game had a ton of things that I thought became a "Time vampire." Too many unskippable things and small constant gameplay interruptions. Still loved the game but it's a bit short of getting my highest accolades. On the rare blade designs. I mostly agree. They reached out to a lot of different artists (Including hentai artists) which kind of explains it haha. It's great-ish for a diverse cast (Even though it's 80% women) but terrible for consistency. Is it strange that I feel pyra looks like a race-car? And as for the english VO. Again, agree fully. Everytime I say it though people freak out. Worried about publishing my video for my critique of this part.

Pelvic Gaming The trick is to never use their fave items coz this will cause a short dialogue. Use Rex, might be a spoiler, since he ends up being able to use all blades, and spam either Noponcho (textile), Fragrant Samod Stralu (meat) or Veg & Oyster Aspic (veggies) all available in Fonsett. They give an average of +20 trust per use. I have Mythra, and alternate the 2 spots. Rex is also good because u are increasing Mythra's trust to S+ helping her Crit/Heal build. So that's +600 trust per 30 items in less than 2-3 mins.

I appreciate this review, as it convinced me that the game itself just isn't for me due to the sheer number of stuff going on all the time and cumbersome grinding. Thanks for helping me decide while keeping it fun!

I’m very very late, but I finally finished this game yesterday I do have a lot of gripes about the game too but I still had an overall amazing experience. I didn’t have a let’s play from chuggaaconroy to follow this time so it made things pretty difficult for me, since I’m really awful at RPGs. Of all the voices, I think Nia has the most of that unmatched expression. I think her voice actually did slightly improve towards the end I kinda wish there weren’t so many blades. I’m not too big a fan of “catch em all” outside of pokemon. While it does give very wide range to strategy, they take really long to level up. Not to mention the limit on how many common blades you can carry. I would’ve just enjoyed being able to keep every single one and make the crystals harder to get Side quests aren’t as plentiful as in the other Xenoblades it seems. They got rid of those nameless fetch and monster quests. Though because of blade abilities I always find myself stuck on one and just having to do them later. I like taking detours from the main story but sometimes it took a lot to get through those quests, which prevented me from being overleveled for very long Even if I wasn’t overleveled, I found a neat trick with certain weapons to make some battles easier. Auto attack combos start over whenever you move, so I took advantage of that to spam anchor shots with Rex whenever I could. I love the Mor Ardain music too, but the Indol and Theosoir themes were my favorites After playing this game, I wanna play through the first game again, but I’ll hold off for now since Shulk is in this game as DLC. I’ll maybe go through more of the side quests and rare blades once I get the Expansion pass

My favorite JRPG if all time, but I have to agree about tutorials, they aren't poorly accessible and intrusive only intrusive, but surprinsingly there is also a lack of information being given to players about how thing actually work, like for example not telling the player the damage multiplier and extra crit chance of blade's especial or the side effects that level 2 blade combos have. There so many mechanics of this game that can be only understood if the datamines are read.

You realise the blue dots on the map show up if there is a side quest you have yet to revive or you have a side quest that can be completed by going to that area, right? Red Markers = Main Blue = Side. They tell you this really early. You can also buy the tutorial info from informants.

I know this review is old but it still surprises me that even JRPG players can‘t seem to understand that Pyra being basic is the point. It‘s a mask Mythra puts on to hide her fears and pain. Also you can‘t have one without the other, they both complement each other and are a sort of callback to Fei and his split personalities from Xenogears

I just finished it a few weeks ago and it’s a favourite of mine now it was so good and the funny thing was it took two attempts when I first tried it I didn’t like that much so I waited couple years and tried it again from the beginning and I love it this game is so fun and the party support characters are so cool and I think I like them more than the first game’s party.

I like the Gormott day theme

I got like 10 hours into Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and gave up. I wanted to like it. I love the story and the characters and the world but the game play and gacha-cores and systems bloat kept me from enjoying it. Whenever I started to get into it another menu option was added or a high level monster pathing unpredictably would wipe me while going from point A to B and leave me feeling frustrated cause I just wanted to get to the story beats. This is truly a game where I'm jealous of the people who got full enjoy of all the game had to offer, but sadly, it just didn't have the right offerings for me.

Luck only really helps when you max it at 999 so I understand the frustration there

seems they fixed the freezing bugs with updates

Morag is best girl, you have good taste. Also Perun and Newt were two of my favourites for reasons...

i dunno how much time i put into this before i put it down for a long while. then i come back and realized that there was a bunch of updates and im thinking 'why wasnt this in at launch?'...then before i ever finished this one i got the prequel and got a ways into that...put that one down...came back to this one and now i think im liking this one again because i can scale my own difficulty with the custom option...thank God. i like the game but i feel like there was just to much put into this and not enough explanation.
