When the Wii U first came out, like many others, I didn't really understand what the heck it was. The system was literally gone for over a year before I realized it was a new gaming system and not just a Wii peripheral. Unfortunately, this seems to have been a fairly common situation, as it's only now that the Wii U is coming to an end that we're finally getting the games that should have been there right at launch to show what the system is and why you want it need it. Xenoblade Chronicles X is exactly the kind of game that could bring the Wii U to the wider market and show developers what they need to do to really take advantage of the system. Many games have a second screen built into the Wii U's main controller - distracting, unnecessary, poorly used, or a combination of both. If you've played Pokken Tournament, you might even have noticed that it can be an intentional hindrance to playing in local multiplayer. On the other hand, Xenoblade Chronicles X shows exactly why and how this screen can be used to take the game to a whole new level. There's always a lot going on on screen and in the window you can see through in a sci-fi action game that includes planetary exploration, flying robotic suits, and powerful combat with enemies ranging in size from house cats to giant creatures that could eat Godzilla can is rather limited. . to look at it. By offloading the HUD, fast travel and map functions to the Wii U controller, Xenoblade Chronicles X frees up as much screen real estate as possible, allowing you to enjoy breathtaking views and intense combat without visual strain. Xenoblade Chronicles X not only innovates the hardware you play on, it also has a really fun and inspiring game interface. Xenoblade Chronicles X is both an MMO and not an MMO, or maybe it's more accurate to say that it's an MMO as much as you want it to be. Would you like to participate in large-scale and epic public battles with large groups of players? He does it. Want to play a silent MMO solo without worrying about D4rth_d0ucheb4g walking around your screen and spoiling your immersion with his stupid alias? Xenoblade Chronicles X will help you with that too. As someone who often plays RPGs to enjoy the story in peace and loves every Final Fantasy apart from MMOs, I appreciate the level of fine control that XBC:X puts in the hands of players to dictate how they play experience game. Lots of experience in this game. As one of the survivors of a crashed colonial ship that escaped the destruction of Earth by extraterrestrial forces, you get to explore a vast world inhabited by myriad alien creatures, some hostile, some friendly, and some waiting for you to decide what their nature is mankind's relationship to them will be. XBC:X also gives you a tremendous amount of customization options for your characters. While NPC classes are preset, you still have full control over their gear and can greatly influence their evolution, and your main computer can be customized in appearance, evolution, gear, group role, etc. Characters that can join your team so deeply and so big that my biggest dilemma with the game was that I got too engrossed in the relationship development and side quests and forgot that I should advance the main story until I got the relationship events achieved that were linked to later chapters! To sum up, Xenoblade Chronicles X is a massive, addictive, beautiful game that demonstrates exactly why the hardware it's contained on must exist. It's a sci-fi space opera with robots, technology, and lots of alien friends and foes, and arguably one of the best RPGs I've played, along with Xenosaga and Final Fantasy X (maybe not quite FF7). or ChronoTrigger, but which one?). I do not recommend this game for RPG, Sci-Fi, MMO or Xeno Franchise fans. Take it, you won't be disappointed.
