Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition Review - The Final Verdict

As far as monikers for re-releases go, “Definitive Edition” is pretty reused, and almost never accurate. Xenoblade Chronicles represents the rare time that the name fits. In spite of its age, and the bevy of re-releases the game has already had previously, Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition delivers the authoritative, definitive take on a classic game, one which stands the test of time, and remains as compelling today as it was back when it first launched – if not more so.

With its time honored metaphysical story, its stunning world, gorgeous soundtrack, and intricate RPG mechanics and systems, Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition is quite possibly among the best RPGs in a generation full of amazing ones, and an absolute must-buy for anyone with even a passing interest in the genre.

Human like I stopped paying attention after that

Ay bruh....you can't just drop "QOL" in the middle of a sentence and not expect me to pause the video and ask myself "now wtf does QOL mean"? I figured out it was Quality of Life but I just never heard anybody say QOL out loud.

You know how this is STILL not a good review of Definitive Edition? Sure, it's not as bad as IGN's (we wont talk about the 'horns' mispronunciation, ) one of Xenoblade Chronicles's selling points is it's extensive and detailed story, yet in this review, the story gets 1 comment about it at the very end during scoring. Half of the review is spent talking about graphics, which (speaking personally) is one of the worse things to complain about. I agree with the quality of life changes for Definitive Edition, but another point I don't agree with is quests in the main game being awful. Sure, they can seem fairly minor at times, and semi-linear, however some of the more unique quests build onto the story, which someone who played through the entire game would know about. This review makes me think that the reviewer didn't even play the game, and composed it just on video alone.

Great vid but is it just a joke now for every video review to have someone mispronouncing names? Like come on dude sound it out, its first grade SpongeBob.... HOMS

[ACEfFAITH]

Stop gushing about the graphics. The story is the star of the show in this game.

More old game "hype." New good games are so rare these days in this landfill of an industry riddled with microtransaction service scams.

Nintendo needs to released this on 3 different generation consoles just to make profit on it. We want persona 5 not this recycled games.

Literally the only reason to get hardware as pitifully underpowered as the Switch is for exclusives like this.
