Ойындар
Xenoblade Chronicles is a game I played on both my Nintendo Wii and 3DS, and this time I'm reviewing the Definitive Edition for the Switch! Is it worth it to pick it up for my third time?

Just beat the story the other night. Took me 93 hours, now sitting at 100 hours still completing end game side quests. Amazing game. Still have the brand new epilogue and newgame+ to go through. Well worth it

I was in the same boat. I didn't have a Wii back in the day, but was very curious about Xenoblade. I picked up the Switch version recently and have blasted through around 55 hours so far. It lives up to every bit of the hype IMO. It's probably my favourite game that I've played in the last 10 years, so I'd say absolutely get it!

In my opinion, that's the mark of a good game, and especially an impactful story. Xenoblade Chronicles, both 1 and 2, are games I beat for the first time years ago (both beat soon after their launch), and I still think about them both sometimes, but XC1 has stuck with me for 10 years. The story is still one of the like...5 video games that has ever made me actually cry. It's in my list of games I always recommend to people for a wonderful experience. It was so ambitious for its time. Like... An open world, 60-hour JRPG on the Wii? Who else would have thought to create such a thing? Just the world building alone warrants a playthrough.

@@coolchannelize15 I really enjoyed Xenoblade-- if you played a bit of the 3DS version, you're getting a prettier, more refined version of that (with some added content). My only two real complaints are: the story pacing (no spoilers, but the game started to drag in the middle before everything got cranked to 11 in the last stretch of the game), and the difficulty (there's some pretty big difficulty spikes on certain bosses, one in particular near the end made me switch to easy mode) I usually have a hard time recommending the Xenoblade games to people because the combat seems to be a love-it or hate-it kind of thing, but if you played X and some of the 3DS version, you should already have a pretty good idea if you're going to like it. TLDR, if you already like the basic combat, and have the time and money, I'd say go for it

I still find it amazing that this has been squished in a small cartridge and playable on the 3DS. I love the 3DS version and my progress on the switch version was on hold because of how convenient bringing around a 3DS was compared to a switch.
I was on the fence with this game, but thanks to your review, it will be added to my collection. Love this channel!

My way of viewing games as a whole has changed so much since I discovered your channel. It used to be that, when a game I was excited to play was released, I would wait and watch reviews first, then go out and buy it... Now, I buy the game right away, and then look forward to the review by Ircha Gaming afterwards. ^.^ Fantastic job on the video, as always. Love your style of reviewing games, and the high quality of your work.

Amazing game, trying for 100% completion right now. I picked it up on the wi-u for dirt cheap and fell in love with it, can't believe I missed out on the wii. Shulk is my favourite but I love playing everybody, Ricki's special to steal items is especially helpful.

Love the Xenoblade series ... finished this on the Switch a few weeks back. The biggest improvement compared to the Wii and 3DS versions is in the UI - so much easier tracking quests, NPCs etc.

Here in the UK, loved the review so i went out and bought the game :)
Great review! I’ve been curious about this game, and it looks like a really good game, but just too “long” and “open” for me. I have BotW and I’ve been overwhelmed with that already(not gonna lie, I play it on the “side” of my other games, since its such a long game. I like my games to be 20-25 hours not 100+). I wish there was a similar game that was “shorter” but ik that wouldn’t be fair to people who like long games, which are not as plentiful from what I’ve seen.
One of the reasons why I want to get a Switch, is to play this game! I didn't know that it plays similar to mmos, but that makes it even more appealing to me. If the gameplay is not action oriented, I think that playing the holy trinity (tank, healer, dps) is a great idea, if executed properly of course. The last game I played that had a similar approach to gameplay was Final Fantasy XII. And the character customisation looks really good, which is kinda surprising for a jrpg. Great review btw. Makes me wanna buy the Switch right now. 😁
I finally got it and I'm loving it so far. I remember watching your review before and it made me want to get it. So I'm back to watch it again lol.

Oh wow I haven't played or owned Xenoblade Chronicles yet but after seeing the video I may purchase the game because it looks so fun and has fun moments when you play the game like the soundtrack. Yes this game is huge, the graphics is outstanding and I like how you can level up to become more powerful because the game gets difficult when you reach to end and you need more power. Also I like how there are lots of characters and that makes the gameplay more interesting and fun. I don't have a Nintendo Switch but I do have a 3ds and a Wii so maybe I will purchase it for them but I'm not sure if Nintendo make Wii and 3ds games anymore so there's that. Yes I agree that the game is 9.5 out of 10 because it has good graphics and has interesting but fun levels to play on and much more. I'm going to recommend your videos to my Family and Friends because your content is outstanding and cosy to watch. I could have more to say but I don't want to type too much but I want to say is Keep it up Ircha and always remember to keep it up and to not ever give up. :)

I picked up this game when it first came out on the wii in 2011. After beating it, it instantly became one of my all-time favourite games. With X, 2 and Torna being released. Xenoblade has quickly become my favourite series. Out of all the games, XC1 is still my favourite and the Definitive edition made a masterpiece even better. Now we just need X on the switch.

I’ve noticed that each Xenoblade entry was pretty ambitious for its respective console, excluding XBC2 due to half the team working on Zelda BOTW. It excites me to see how ambitious Monolithsoft are when they have the full team working on projects! Here’s hoping XBC3 is just as ambitious since the full Takahashi 1 team is on board with said game’s development.

Played it years ago on the Wii and now re-bought it on the Switch. Would love to replay it sometime, just that the one thing that really put me off were the hundreds of sidequests, of which the vast majority were rather mundane fetch/kill quests.

You have the most beautiful eyes. I will probably pick this game up in a couple of months. I'm probably going to pick up Tokyo Mirage sessions first. Because I've barely had the chance to play it before I had to get rid of everything for cash for survival. Is this game easier to play than Xenoblade chronicles 2? Because that game is more difficult to start with because of the steep learning curve
What do you think of the songs that got a new version for this release? I love the original soundtrack so much and was initially put off by the new song versions.

If you like xenoblade, even if you've got the previous versions, you MUST have this.
Xenoblade and the Dragon Quest series are my favorites.
Ircha. You’ve gave the music 10/10, but what did you think of the new arranged soundtrack vs the original?
You actually do have to go back to the quest giver a lot of times, just not for the generic NPC quests. There's a good chunk of quests where you're going back and forth between quest givers, sadly. Of course they are optional, but I think it's still a lot of fun.

I got this yesterday and I've been playing constantly. Xenoblade 2 torina or w/e just isn't grabbing me as much as this is. Still fun but not as much as this one. Never even heard of xenoblade until I got a switch. Loving it so far
