Traditionally Untraditional, Thoughts on Xenoblade 2

So Today, Im going to Tell you my Thoughts on Xenoblade Chronicles 2 on the Nintendo Switch.


North american Box art

Just a Note, I dont think I will Ever do a Review of this Game, For a few Reasons, Its such a Big Game with a Deep Plot, I dont want to spoil Any of it, Go Play it Yourself. Heck that's why Im not putting Any Screenshots here.

Now that is out of the way

Ok so one Thing I want to Talk about is the Gameplay, While the Story and Plot is pretty Traditional, the Gameplay is not.

So the Idea is Your Characters do Regular Attacks Automatically, However you can move your characters and use Arts, Arts are kinda Like Special attacks that are Tied to a Character and their Weapon, Even if two Characters are using the Same Weapon they will have different Arts.

The Weapon the Character uses is Based on What Blade they are using, a Blade is Kinda Like if a Weapon is a Character, I Would go into more detail but that is all I will say for now. one Final thing is no 2 Blades are the Same. You will get different Blades for every playthough, and there are Rare Blades you can get which are Stronger then Regular ones by Long Shot.

Unlike in Xenoblade 1 and x, You cannot move and attack at the same time. Which does make the game a Bit slower but it also adds a bit of challenge. While the Game is Pretty Slow and Easy Early on the Game does Pick up Pace after a While.

The Environments are Beautiful and the Soundtrack is Amazing, Its Fun to Explore around the World of Alrest with a Great song in the Backround.

The Characters are Alright at best, But I did grow attached to many of them.

The English Voice Acting is Kinda in the Sense of "So bad its good", There are some Really Bad parts in the Voice acting, but I grew to Like the English voices.

I think I will need to Playthough the Game a Second time to Develop a complete Opinion of the Game, But Overall its a Good Game.

I Recommend it for RPG fans and and for those who want something Different from Nintendo's Second Parties
