My friend that recommended this game told me before I started playing, “I’m telling ya, Gaur Plains… just remember that feeling when you enter for the first time.” And he was right.
The sprawling landscapes are breathtaking. If you would’ve told me that Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition was not a remaster, but simply a first-time release on the Switch, I would have believed you. The textures and character models are both worthy of this gaming generation. But not to be outdone, the visuals are equally as impressive. What helps bring the story to life is one of the best soundtracks of any RPG I’ve played. But at no time is it ever difficult to understand, unlike other JRPGs. Like many JRPG stories, there’s a lot going on and it’s over the top at times. They’re also the Mechon army that drives the story forward. Their frozen, titanic bodies serve as the environment in Xenoblade Chronicles : Definitive Edition. On these two new continents, life spawned - organic life on Bionis and Machina on Mechnois, which are a machine/human hybrid. The grandiose story of Xenoblade Chronicles starts around two giant titans - Bionis and Mechonis - locked in a battle destined to last until the end of time. Without a basis of how the game was on the Wii, I have to solely consider how it is on the Nintendo Switch - and that’s pretty damn good. Therefore, I don’t have much to compare the Definitive Edition to. I never played the original when it released on the Nintendo Wii in 2012, or in 2015 when it came to the Nintendo 3DS. I probably could’ve dove right into Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and not cared. Suddenly, my RPG itch needed to be scratched. It was at that time a friend recommended I play Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition. But over the last few months, I tackled multiple RPGs, including Final Fantasy VII Remake. I didn’t have the time to devote to it like I used to. As I got older, 60+ hour games, especially JRPGs, became overwhelming. If this pandemic has taught me anything about myself, it’s that I miss the days of my youth when I could get lost in a good RPG.
