Re: Xenoblade
I started it last Saturday. So far seems like it has a lot of potential and the locations are very huge and beautiful. Exactly what I wanted. I love this kind of games with exploration, beauty locations and tons of things to do, I loved FF12 and most likely I'll love this one too. I just hope that here the narration will be better than it was in FF12 xd

Re: Xenoblade
I've just done with the game. Since I'm not a plot hound so let me skip the comment on this part.
Xblade doesn't belong to my favorite turn based genre, but other positive points makes up for it. Quite a huge overworld the game presents allow great exploration(gotta admire the designers for getting such a hard job done) and the difference between night and day is also very well exploited, shows a big impact in gameplay.
Checked out the battle system, a little more simple than I thought it would be though. Positioning is important but not too crucial(except the fights against some fortress mechons). Gear slots and gems which remind of ff7, along with skill trees/links somehow satisfy me with its customization level.
Hate the most? Numerous tedious quests which demand to collect items that has lower than 10% to spawn then gotta wait 30 mins for them to respawn.
Love the most? Chain attack, combo strategy among skills which makes Xblade different from other button mashing games.

Re: Xenoblade
Many of you have probably seen this already, but for those of you who haven't, Xenoblade's successor has been unveiled:

Re: Xenoblade
Project X seems like a replica of Xblade with better graphic(its on Wiiu, of course)
As I can see in that trailer they even want to ease the nostalgia for the fights in Gears as we had in Xgear.

Re: Xenoblade
Yeah, the trailer looks fantastic, and the battle system seems to be the same as in Xb. I wonder if they'll make a sequel (haven't finished Xenoblade yet, am at 80h or so... lost motivation, so I don't know if there can be a sequel) or they'll make a new entry to the Xeno series.
