The next massive sci-fi role-playing game from Monolith Soft, the creators of Baten Kaitos and Xenoblade Chronicles, comes exclusively to Wii U. A terrible intergalactic war leaves just a handful of Earth survivors trying to live in a beautiful yet hostile environment.
Players engage in battles against powerful creatures of all forms and sizes using the deep battle system that builds on the triumphs of Xenoblade Chronicles for Wii.
Riding and controlling a weaponized mech, players can explore every inch of the massive open world displayed in gorgeous high-definition graphics. The world is filled with strange and imaginative creatures, from small bugs to giant dinosaurs.
As characters improve in different classes, they will learn new combat and defensive skills, or Arts. Players can customize the Arts palette as their characters learn new Arts. All Arts have a ?recast" time – once cast, the player must wait out a cooldown" period before that Art can be used again.

I was so excited about playing this, I downloaded the 20GB package from the eshop in anticipation of my copy arriving... and then life got in the way. I've watched the opening cinematic, which is in fairness further than I've got with Metal Gear Solid.

If you want to make the game as worthwhile as possible, don't make the Ares 90 post game lol! Heat added :smile:

For some reason I'm not liking it anywhere near as much as the first one, but I have only played a couple of hours!
Amazing price though :smiley:

I was the same but once you push past comparing one game to the other you'll start to enjoy X so much more than you currently are. I think the biggest problem for me was that the main protagonist is mute and therefore lacks the presence of a proper character like Shulk to drive the story forward in the opening few hours.
The game soon opens up and you'll realise that most of the enjoyment comes from spending hours exploring rather than the story.

Was the complete opposite for me, I found xenoblade chronicles boring although that's just me lol. When you get into a skell for the first time... That's when the game gets interesting!

The story kicks up several gears around chapter 7/8... you get some great cut-scenes and character design work.
