Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition Review

Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition reviewed by Travis Northup on Nintendo Switch.

"For a story where controlling the future is a critical plot device, it's pretty ironic that Xenoblade Chronicles has never managed to get its timing right until now. After this enormous JRPG's unfortunate 2012 debut in the final days of the Wii's lifecycle and a low-res port to the 3DS that didn't do it justice, at long last it can shine on a console in its prime - and the result is an improvement as massive as the titan Bionis itself. And that's before we even get into any of the Definitive Edition's numerous improvements."

Spoiler warning: we inadvertently included footage that includes a late-game character in a menu screen at 4:05 in the review. If you're concerned about the reveal, please skip to 4:41 to avoid the menu section entirely. We apologize for missing it.

DO NOT WATCH THE REVIEW, MAJOR SPOILER!!!

Btw the score is an 8, that’s it did you a favour everyone.

rain and duncan

and last but not least, napon

[AlterBridgeJericho]

This has everything a great review should contain: Misinformation, mispronunciation of character names, spoilers with no warning and a score that doesn't match what they said in the video. :^)

Dunban is literally one of the first people on screen, and his name is said dozens of times in the first few minutes WITH SUBTITLES; and you still thought it was Duncan..?

- Reupload
- still pronunciation mistakes
- spoilers in video
- complaining about grinding without mentioning side quests

"You spend a lot of time with Melia, one if the weaker character's from the main campaign" we play the same game?

[chaojumper]

They fixed “Rain” and “Duncan” but I won’t forget IGN.

[KalebChesnicFlutist]

IGN: “The best version of this game.” Also IGN: *Rates this lower than any other version.*

[mcsquiggles]

It’s still not right! It’s not “Dunbon” he’s not a cinnamon roll. Jesus Christ did you all even have the sound on when you played it?

[cnzy]

Are you kidding me!!! There‘s literally a big spoiler in this review.

[griffinmurphy]

“You will know our names” IGN: no I don’t think I will

[ttaaccooss]

STOP! CONTAINS RAW MAJOR SPOILERS!

This is absolutely unacceptable from a review, even if the game is as old as it is.

[Unawareofsurroundings]

Notice how he only has Shulk, Reyn, and Sharla’s affinity maxed out and not any other character

[skyblade]

People came here still thinking IGN is a legitimate source of reviews?

Man, what a bunch of jokers.

[Leroy._.]

Shulk: Reyn, did you see IGN review on Xenoblade DE?

Reyn: *Yeah! What a bunch of jokers!*

[osw]

you are not a clown. you are the entire circus

[alvbatross]

Y'all seriously kept a major spoiler in your reupload and still failed to pronounce Dunban right huh. It's almost like the reviewer didn't actually play the game.

[TheArchitect]

The biggest crying shame about this is that this spoiler filled review is literally the top result when you search for reviews of the game.
