#EasyAllies #XenobladeChronicles #Review - Hry
This is how you do a review!
Actually play the game and DON'T show massive spoilers!
Professionalism.... There's a reason I keep watching you guys
Fiora in swimsuit, Ben truely is a man of culture.
I ended up laughing every time she popped up.
Damn you right
Swear I've noticed some jiggle physics too although nothing as extreme as that blonde in ninja gaiden
@@calelsun Be a good bonus!
I'm already 60 hours in and played the original already, so I know it's damn good. I'm just here to give you guys the view lol.
I'm excited to start it. I'm going through FF6 right now, but I'm going to start it when I finish up. It looks great!
For anyone on the fence... get it. I played the original on Wii with some hesitation but I was blown away by the whole experience of the game, one of my fav RPGs I've played.
troglodytesrus that settles it
100% agree
I thought about trying 2 before this came out but figured best to start with 1
Idk i didn't like XC2 and even tho the side missions are more streamlined idk if down for a fantasy fetch quest marathon? 😕
@@Mattznick 2 was terrible.
Never played a Xenoblade and thought I'd jump in now. 15 hours in and I dont know what it is but this game has grabbed me in a way no game has for a very long time. Possibly Monster Hunter World was the last.
Definitely check out 2 next if you love this one! It’s a slower start, but it’s story gets truly incredibly in the latter half, and it’s themes will surely resonate with you if the first ones did
I've played and beaten all 3 operation rainfall games: The Last Story, Pandora's Tower and Xenoblade Chronicles in that exact order all the way back in 2012. Xenoblade Chronicles is most definitely one of the greatest JRPG's of all time, if not at least of that generation. The Last Story was a phenomenal game as well. I loved its unique take on combat that featured a mix of real time action with a cover and aggro system. Pandora's Tower was also a great game. I enjoyed it's puzzles, platforming mechanics and real time action combat as well its story. Both The Last Story and Pandora's Tower in my opinion are deserving of their own remasters.
Definitely worth buying. One of the best rpgs on switch
One of the best rpgs period.
Better than XC2?
@@Trippydrip246 WAY BETTER, i didn't like any of the sequels at all, they lost the magic of the original
@@Trippydrip246 As somebody who put in 50 hours into XBC2 before finally saying enough, Yes. It not only has a much stronger first impression, but the story and characters just feel better thought out instead of relying soley on the constant shonen-jump otaku cliches. Shulk is a MUCH better and more interesting protagonist than Rex by ten-fold.
@@84jesterx THIS! Absolutely, the story and characters are more memorable in the first one
I tried playing the 3ds version and I found it impressive but the frame rate and resolution would make me feel a little nauseous so I never finished it even though I was loving the story. I bought this definitive edition and I’m having the time of my life. It’s fast becoming my favorite jrpg.
This review is so well put together.
The score doesnt matter.
The information is on point, telling you what you need.
It's an 11/10 for me. The original game was a 10/10, but I love the graphical upgrade and especially the small (but well implemented) quality of life improvements. I'm going through the game my 5th time and loving every minute of it.
I'm playing on expert mode and it's insane how much time the quest markers safe.
I'm 60 hours in short before THE GREAT TWIST and did ALL QUESTS AVIABLE.
Took me 200 hours in the OG to 100% it
I've already sunk 40 something hours into the game, I can't believe it keeps living up to the name of best JRPG of the 7th gen.
you're probably around half way through the main story, and trust me it just keeps getting better and better from here on out!
My favorite RPG of the decade and one of my top 10 games of all time. Just phenomenal.
"Ghosts not shoot beams dum-dum" I dunno why I found that so cute lol
This game might actually be a 10/10. I'm 16 hours in and totally hooked
If the side quests were better I'd say for sure; it's hard to ignore the lack of diversity though in that regards.
@@reforgenarsil The sidequests are definitely not great. The story is picking up but it takes a really long time to properly get going. Overall it's a very good game based on what I've played so far. It seems too grindy though.
Idk i didn't like XC2 and even tho the side missions are more streamlined idk if down for a fantasy fetch quest marathon? 😕
When you guys were on GameTrailers the way you did the review convinced me to get this game and I very much loved it. I also love the OST because of your review on GT. Thank you guys so much 🙏🏽
Just finished this game yesterday, it was amazing! So much fun, I loved it a lot more than Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Trying to play Xenoblade X now on CEMU and am hoping to finish that game now.
oohgoditsbees XCX is very different from the other two entries but Despite all the hate it got, I also really love that game. And it also has a brilliant soundtrack, though some themes are controversial. But it has the same composer as Attack on Titan I think. And if you watched that anime you’ll notice many similarities in the styles of the music. Have fun!
What is exactly wrong with XC2 compared to 1?
@@Clavitz1 xc2 is so damn CRINGE while some mechanics are a lot better than the original
@@yuseifudo2609 ah ok. yeah that can be hard to deal with even if a game plays well.
The Last Story and Pandora's Tower should also be brought back, I feel proud owning all three Operation Rainfall games but I think everyone should enjoy them!
The Last Story is criminally underrated
I dont have a Wii, but i really want play the Last story and Pandoras tower
Pandora's Tower was very fun, the whip mechanics make it feel at points like Castlevania, and the puzzle-like bosses felt similar to the ones in Shadow of the Colossus.
The Last Story was so much fun, the only thing that would have made it better was a Japanese dub. The English dub was a big meh. I never finish really played Pandoras Tower after the first boss, I wonder why....
The last story was really cool :). I remember the gameplay worked really well with a wii nunchuk. It might be a little weird playing on a joy con but it was one of the best jrpgs of that era. I'd love to try lost odyssey again but sadly it's only on xbox.
Just finished this game. Normally when i finish a game i’m glad that i can now start a new one, but this is one of the few where i feel genuinely sad that it’s over. I never played this back in the wii era, and Im so glad i had the opportunity to do so now :)
Played Xenoblade 2 and I had a pretty bad time with. Decided to give this one a go and I'm surprised with how much more fun it is. 45 hrs in and I feel like I'm only half way 😅
45 hours is only about half way
First time player, on chapter 8, absolutely loving it, surpassed expectations!
For the side quests, I also thought it was a drag in the Wii version. For the Definitive Edition, I try not to grind and only fight monster when side quests asked me to. It actually works quite well. I've reached Makna Forest, I'm not too overleveled and not get bored fighting the monster again and again.
I finished the main story over the weekend and can honestly say I've not been so enthralled and engaged with a JRPG since The World Ends With You on the DS.
Ben the real Heropon
Ben's reviews makes reviews sound like poetry sometimes I swear.
The best jrpg of the generation and my personal favourite of all time. if you have missed it for whatever reason, I hope you give the series a shot. I am confident you wont regret it
have it on the wii. never got around to play it
Any tips to give a newcomer? I've played through the recent Persona(s) and Octopath but I'm still very much a nooby.
This looks good. I havent really enjoyed a jrpg since final fantasy 9 was new. But this looks good.
@@adamneumann248 riki is op. So is stacking agility up. Aside from that theres not too many tips you need i guess. Even when you hit walls in this game you can overcome them with time at the most. The leveling curve is extreme in this game. And an unbeatable boss can become an easy speed bump just by giving your sidequests some attention when they're needed
@@adamneumann248 I don't think have any major tips but:
1. Try playing as every character. They play wildly different and pretty much all of them are fun.
2. All of the characters have different strengths. It can be pretty easy to fall into just using Reyn, Shulk and Sharla as tank/dps/healer all game. They're very straight forward and it's easy to make them strong, but the other characters are also powerful and can be better or worse depending on the situation.
3. Sidequests mostly exist for extra experience if get behind on levels and just something to do if you want. Feel free to ignore them most of the time. The game does a pretty good job keeping you on track level wise.
4. Try taking on some of the mini-boss monsters roaming around as you explore for drops, experience and just for fun.
5. Exploring/unlocking areas on the map rewards a lot of experience.
6. Agility is really, really good.
Another fantastic Score/Review from Easy Allies !
Love reviews by Ben. We share very similar tastes in video games and I highly value his opinion when buying video games. Great review as always!
Yeah i'm definitely getting this.
Finally, a game with believable voice acting.
Wouldn't say that 😂
Are you joking? Hahahaha this is by far my biggest criticism of the game. The voice acting is utterly attrocious.
@@YourPalHDee it sounds like the exaggerated acting from a UK toddler cartoon. Maybe only believable to people outside the UK. Great game, but the voice acting is far from believable 😂
@@loto7197 I'm British and absolutely love the voice acting - particularly Shulk, Dunban, Egil, Zanza, Melia and Sharla. There's something about British accents that just work better in the fantasy genre (think LotR, GoT, etc) and give it more gravitas. I far prefer it to the out of place American accents used in most JRPGs.
The voice acting really is incredible. I think some people confuse it with Xenoblade Chronicles 2
My favorite game of all time. Absolute masterpiece, 10/10
Now it’s Reyn Time!
Good thing I'm here?
No?
Anyone?
Is this.... a Xenoblade Review without talking about our favourite characters Rain and Duncan??? ^^
Awesome review, picked up my first Xenoblade game a few weeks ago, nearly finished and loved every minute.
"Sharla, did you see what i did???"
"Sorry, I uh, wasn't really looking."
Oh come on. That's not fair!
"HAHAHAHAHA!"
Easily top 5 RPG of 2010s
Easily top 2 to me, the only contender I can think of is persona 5, and they’re basically the same quality to me in terms of story, characters, and world (persona has the edge in out-of-combat mechanics and graphics, imo).
Great editing, Ian!
❤❤ (I got nothing to add but I like these reviews, and I want the youtube system to serve them to users.)
Yay, I've been looking forward to this review! Thanks Ben for living in "Xenoblade world" for us and getting this review out in a timely fashion. You're the best!
Realy good review, glad to see you guys are back at it again after gametrailers gave way (I know you guys have been at it for a number of years but I only recently rediscovered you).
Will you guys be reviewing Bug Fables? It's a game I've stumbled on recently that I found really enjoyable but not sure if it is within your scope. Would really love to hear your thoughts on it tho.
Keep up the good work!
this and Xenoblade chronicles 2 is 2 of the best RPG's on switch
XO2? If you have no taste, maybe.
I’m really tempted to get this. I own the original for the Wii but haven’t started it yet. Should I just buy this version and play it instead?
"For the sake of all the people in the world to decide their fate as equals. That is the vision i choose to guide me " a good quote to use at a time like this
i'm curious to know which games you choose to review or not
Melia and everyone look amazingly good now, but yeah mind the sidequests. Collect em all before you venture forth, then come back for more, then more, then more. It's mostly for the money and raising affinity with the location.
This is all well and good Ben, but the question remains: is Huber Dunban or Reyn?
Never got a chance to play the Wii version even if I supported the campaign to get it released here but I got the New 3DS version and loved it , playing the switch version and it's great
Wow! This game looks gorgeous and I love the setting!
I'm really feeling it!
I'm 8hrs in and really enjoying it 👍
Just exploring the huge areas and all that is incredible. Then topped with the story! Such an experience!
Another amazing review from Ben :)
I'm sold, they fixed the only thing that bothered me with the original
the "faces"
I would say its easily one of the best storylines of all time and certainly of the last decade. But I would expect no less from the man who made Xenogears.
Beautiful game. Truly happy Ben brings it up often. I hope it brings more into xenoblade to test the truly original and awe inspiring gameplay.
I had no interest in XB2 when I saw it, but holy hell, this one is a masterpiece all right. Finished seven chapters in 2 days of marathon playing. It's just so good.
@Lach D Well XB2 is really different compared to the first one. It uses lots of anime tropes and takes a lot of time to really get started. I'd say get a hold of some reviews and then decide.
I am frixken loving this game. I am so surprised how well its held up. It is clear why this is one of my favorite games of all time
CZcams is so weird. I just now got a notification for this video... it came out five days ago. Great review though. I just picked this game up a few days ago. I haven't started it yet, but I'm looking forward to it.
Same, have been getting alot of week late notification
Great review, Ben!
I want to play this, I really liked what I played of it on the Wii. But I bounced off of it because I find all the systems and mechanics so overwhelming!
Honestly, put it on casual mode and you can still enjoy it without being frustrated.
Been on the fence about this franchise for years. This may finally be a good chance for me to dive in.
This game is definitely the one to dive in on
You won’t regret it buddy. And if you end up loving it, get Xenoblade 2 with Golden Torna DLC. And if own a Wii U Xenoblade Chronicles X
Without a doubt my favorite game of all time. I love each and every aspect of it
Great review for a great game.
Are there options in-game to make the UI more minimal?
Which quests do I worry about and ignore
One of the greatest masterpieces of our time. It's a shame this version is lacking in some ways technically.
I am still amazed the game worked so well on the 3DS
@@JoeyJ0J0 Yea the new 3ds port is crazy, had to upgrade the hardware just play it. I'm pretty sure it's the only real new 3ds game ever released that used it's increase technical capabilities.
@@montengro234 Majora's Mask 3D required a "New" 3DS as well. Absolutely bonkers.
JLunaarS No, it didn’t. I played it on my Old 3DS.
The 3ds version of Fire Emblem Warriors requires a new 3ds as well. Even then it's crazy that only two big games used it!
Another great review, EZA
"How you get through an area can be just as interesting as what you find in it"
He says as the video shows the Ether mine XD
On chapter 12 currently and it’s much better than 2 in writing, story, characters, combat and music, I liked 2 but I’m baffled it was made by the same studio, it was way too much anime plus gacha elements and field skills which were really annoying.
This is so true - best description of the difference between XC1 and XC2.
This is why people who first played XC2 still enjoy it, but for people who played XC1 first, the sequel is in many ways a tragic disappointment.
wikum3 I realize that some people were disappointed, but I played the original and Xenoblade X before playing XC2, and I still loved 2. Each game brings its own strengths and weaknesses. The original has the best story and characters, X has the biggest world, and 2 has the most rewarding and engaging combat imo.
The Ostrich no, 2 was my introduction to the series.
I'd say the combat and music were a bit better in 2, but the story is definitely better in 1. I think people don't give the soundtrack of xenoblade 2 enough credit. It's in my opinion the best soundtrack ever made and It's amazing how much work they put into it, if you search what they actually did for the soundtrack. From what I know it's the biggest music project in any game that I know of. Also I think that the complaint ''It's too anime'' is one of the dumbest complaints I've ever seen. It's like people are actually made that a Japanese game resembles other Japanese media. Despite that, having actually seen a lot of anime I can say that the story in xenoblade 1 is just as ''Anime like'' as the story in the second game. Overall I'd say both games have their strengths and weaknesses, but after the improvements in the definitive edition I'd have to say that I prefer Xenoblade 1 for it's story.
Oh sorry I realized the comment went for kind of a long time. Hope me sharing my thoughts won't bother you.
"Gear choices matter" ... goes on to show a lady in a bikini...
I mean, it's just glamour.
The game has vanity gear lol
The game footage looks really soft. Is it not running in 1080p or is it somekind of rendering flinter?
Looked it up, 540p - 378p handheld and 540p - 720p docked. Thats terrible. How come Monolith made such an amazing graphical piece on the WiiU but cant seem to anything running well on Switch? #SAD
Christ, so the resolution is hardly any better than the original Wii version.
Roy Boersema that is false. It runs in 720p 90% of the time. Even if it dips below to 504, that is still twice the resolution of the Wii version
@@hippy3000 I've been playing it now for a while, The majority of the time it hits 720p docked and 540p handheld despite the dynamic resolution, and it only drops super low in really extreme situations. Wii only hits 480p and thats only if use component cables, otherwise its just 480i normally, Switch version is alot better looking overall
@@Ringofire280 How does that math work? The wii version runs at 480p.
If it hits 504p 10% of the time how is my statement false? Where did you find the 90% quote? As far as I can see, it almost dips always in busy wide open landscapes. 540p is a disgrace and looks VERY soft. 378p in handheld mode even more so. Monolith whould get their shit together, atleast dump the XC2 engine.
it's a great review. because they don't mispronounce any characters names.
thanks Easy Allies
Been waiting for this so i can try this out finally after hearing constantly called one of the best jrpgs in a while
Did Ben not mention if it's playable in Japanese or not? Is it? I thought it was?
I really like Xenoblade 1, but the side quest bloat and half-assed affinity system will always drag it down for me. Both of those things were handled so much better in Xenoblade 2 (even if that game has it's own problems). Just wrapped this up earlier today. Good to revisit this one.
All the Fiora, Sharla, and Melia love was a 10/10
If only the review was 10/10.
How do you bring up the full map?
L3 click for an expanded view of the mini map. Y button to bring up the full map. Pressing B once inside the full map view shows you the list of locations. Pressing X when inside the full map brings you back out completely. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Finally a competent review by credible people, like finding water in a desert. Great review, great game. If you haven't played it, get it you won't regret it.
Can anyone point to a specific scene or section where the whole "power of friendship" shtick factors in? I've always found the game's story to smartly use its tropes and I don't remember anything as cliche as that.
I think the main anime trope I've seen is the focus on changing the future. IGN highlighted that but I think it just really angered people lol.
Anyone played majority of the game in handheld mode? How does it compare to xc2 handheld. Played xc2 handheld only and was fine with the fps, resolution was kinda of a bummer on gormott with full party but it is what is and still had tons of fun. Does it look like xc2 handheld?
Hey... so I loved xenoblades 2.... great story and totally fun. I'm playing xenoblades 1 on switch. And I'm just not digging it. I can't put my finger on why, but the story and charcters just aren't grabbing me like 2. I'm at the part where I meet some girl and her brother (who has the vehicle) Does it get better? Or am I far enough, that if I don't like it. I wont? Thoughts?
Slow down cowboy, you're only at the very beginning, Xenonlade 2's first 20 hours were total crap as well.
@@The_Ostrich I finished xenoblades 3. And story-wise. Blah. And I'm thinking the story is more along those lines. SO I think I might tap out. 2 was just amazing. I liked every character and their needs and wants. And no 2's story was great right from the get go, 2 me. The minute our hero mets Pyra, I'm in. R u liking 3?
I think its just a subjective thing. Also I'm an animation writer with thousands of hours of TV shows I've created and wrote for. SO I look at things differently.
I agree with this review, and I don't even have to watch it first to know that.
I'm not sure I understand the side quests critique. Is it a minus because there's too many, because they don't offer much, or because they're tedious? I thought the side quests were not that bad, and really were what compounded the exploration aspects of the game. They were a great way to engage with the vast open world
Is there any possible way of turning of the cheese conversation that gets repeated 1000 times a battle? I am only 4 minutes into the video, so early question...
Yeah you can turn it off
You can mute the battle voices in the options menu, among lots of other nice options.
My favorite game of all time
One of the best games of all time got even better.
How similar is the game to Xenoblade Chronicles 2? Specifically in the gameplay department?
Similar basic combat system. XC1 is slightly simpler but still strategic and addictive (I think it's better and more streamlined than XC2's combat which introduces too many additional complexities). Outside of combat the gameplay is very similar - I mean it's an openworld JRPG so you know what to expect.
Similar but simpler
Combat is not as convoluted and actually is more like a MMO feel than whatever the crap QTE-filled orb bursting nonsense XBC2 kept throwing at you. Battles also don't take forever to complete as well. None of that annoying core awaking gatcha shite too. XBC: DE just feels all around better rounded of a game even though it's older in design.
Jorae Reegers XC2 combat wasn’t as convoluted as you present it to be. Had a bigger learning curve, but once you understood the mechanics, it allowed for a lots of experimentation and big payoffs. XC1 combat is just much much simpler, but still fun and has enough variety especially when switching which character you control.
@The Ostrich 2 is better in pretty much every way.

I was gonna buy paper mario with the 2 for 99 deal, and I think I found my second game. Thank you!
Recently bought a powerful pc with all the bells and whistles. Picked this game up as I missed it the first time and i have to get used to the low res in hand held mode 😫
Don't play it in handheld mode! Monolith's engine simply isn't suited for that kind of play, you're missing out on much of the charm of the environment by plaing it that way.
Luke MoonWalker That’s the one thing I’m a little bummed about since I only have a Switch Lite, hopefully by the time I’m able to pick this up it’s been improved at least slightly with a patch
@@lukemoonwalker8444 will keep it docked! I find I use the switch more hand help these days, but it was improved docked. Last night was the first time I played it handheld.
@@cambienvenu original switches are hard to come by too! Just will have to get used to it, I guess. 😫
Hardeep Singh Definitely, it took me a while to get ahold of a lite, and the original was nowhere to be found outside of garbage scalpers. Honestly I don’t think the reduced res will bug me too much anyway. I thought the wii version had excellent art direction and made up for the outdated visuals, should be the same here
Ya, the AI is insane sometimes. I was trying to take out an nubla and have it come to me and my two IA companions just ran into the lava. That was the only real problem I experienced.
Been playing for a week now. Cool game. Just wish they had better graphics
yeah!
I'd like to give this a try but just looks a blury mess on my switch lite cant play with that resolution 378p at lowest 540p max ,will pick up if they ever release a switch pro
Yeah sadly its best played Docked so playing on the Switch Lite just isn't ideal.
Correct me if I'm wrong (I may be) but given that both switches have the same resolution, and this is a smaller screen, wouldn't it look less blurry than on the original, bigger screen?
Totally agree.
@@loto7197 it might be worth playing on an original switch because at least you can Dock it there's quite a big difference in resolution docked/undocked ,you can't dock a switch lite
@The Ostrich I don't see that as a bad reason at all..
I pressed before even notification fully loaded. Came too early, it is awkward
Ben, as someone who is burnt out on tropey/cliche jrpg stories, does this one actually reward you for your time? You say the payoff is good, but also you mentioned the power of friendship trope. Is this going to make the story predictable, cheesy, or eye rolling at times?
Thanks for the review.
It isn’t I’ve played this game a lot it’s not exactly full of tropes or many at all, I was surprised when he mention the power of friendship trope because I rarely noticed it, but yeah it’s definitely worth a shot and not full of cliches or as predictable as it’s sequel
Sharla!
I can't wait to see how this game differs from 2 and vice versa. How the Bionis differs from Alrest and how arts, differ from blades.
Dayyyum, dude... a 9.0?!?!?
Uh oh, so they didn't fix Melia's "how i use color orbs?" AI
it's usually better to player control her, the A.I. is still a problem
Nope, same AI. Which means the Future Connected epilogue is especially annoying since Shulk and Melia are the two worst AIs. At least the Shulk AI can’t spam Monado Enchant in the epilogue.
@@Leathal Instead he'll love spamming Monado Speed.
“Xenoblade falls back on the power of friendship theme” it literally never does that
@The Ostrich you're thinking of 2. Rex literally says "We'll beat them with the power of friendship"
Yeah, it literally does
@@The_Ostrich it has literally never used the power of friendship trope, no character has ever been said to be stronger because of friendship power
2:46 C'mon game!
To anyone new to the Xenoblade series, no crying until the end, OK?
As Dunban would have it.
