Topic: Xenoblade Chronicles

Play this game on your Wii U and that helps. I wasn't really bothered by the graphics.

see my post again. I edited it to fit your explanation, but it still didn't work.

Look what Chuggaaconroy is LPing

He's giving away 30 copies of the game as well.

Is this worth picking up now?

yes

It's a GREAT game, though I HAVE had to use GeckoOS for invincibility for both Mumkhar battles, and the big Mechon battle with Fiora. Absolutely LOVE Riki!

Definitely looking forward to Xenoblade Chronicles X!

Late reply but you probably could have just leveled up a little more and the battles become a lot easier.

Gamestop just got another batch of "used" Xenoblade Chronicles copies that are being sold for $49.99 so if you want to purchase the game now's the time! I doubt that there will be any more reprints after this one.

The game looks awful on an HDTV, but the scope of the world is, indeed, impressive. It's fun if you pretend you're playing a PS2 game.

Ryno, my party isn't THAT underleveled!

I loved it. The battle system took some getting used to, but I loved the story of the mechonis and bionis. It was really interesting. And exploring for the hidden areas was really fun too. I loved climbing up to the finger tip and being able to see the world. But it's TOO big for me. I could never hope to 100% that game and I have all the time in the world

I agree, more people should play this game! I'm glad Nintendo is FINALLY showing some love for it though by re-releasing it on 3DS, adding Shulk to the Smash roster, and funding the amazing-looking sequel (or more likely spiritual successor). Even with it's limited graphically capabilities, there is nothing like looking up and seeing the arm of gigantic robot hanging over your head. The art direction is second to none. Even better looking open-world games likes Fallout or Skyrim don't give you anywhere near the same kind perspective.

And Every time I see someone in love with an RPG that I think is mediocre I can't help but wonder, have they at least played Xenoblade to compare it to? Granted, it isn't for everyone, but I thought it was probably the best JRPG last gen and more people should at least give it a try (no, and not just "on the Wii" on ALL systems). And to those poor kids who wanted Ridley over Shulk in Smash: 1) In your FACE! 2) Play Xenoblade and you'd probably be facepalming yourself for ever wanting Ridley over Shulk (+ Riki and Dunban!)

I'm glad there is at least one JRPG dev that isn't letting me down lately. Even Atlus is starting to toe the edge of Final Fantasy-style milking mediocrity.

Okay, I am trying to get back into this after a long hiatus. I don't like to get help in games, but I finally decided it's this or never get through it. I am completely stuck where you have to fight 5 or 6 High Entia in the palace. It has been so long since I've played I am not sure what I'm doing. Everything I have seen simply says Shulk is basically useless but the others should blow through them. That does not happen at all. I just get destroyed every time, no matter what I do. Any ideas?

It's not easy, but you can't use shulk at all. Just use Reyn as a tank, Sharla as a healer, and control Riki to spam his specials.

Okay, so I still got creamed no matter what I did, but I did finally manage to find a way to go do other things for awhile which I couldn't do before. So I decided to just go do some quests and try to level up (I was at level 35 which I thought would be enough since the enemies were at 33 or 34, but everyone I had seen mention it was at like 43 or something). I managed to get to level 39 before getting bored and tired and decided to try one more time before going to bed. I am not sure they even touched me. So thanks for the advice. Apparently the moral of the story is when in doubt, go level up. At least I can finally play this game again.

Well, I am selling my copy of Xenoblade Chronicles for Wii on Amazon.

I wondered what the game was selling for; but those prices are insane. Even used they sell for around £80/€100. I don't understand how that's the same game I picked up for €35 a year ago..

Doing the same here. I'll be able to get enough out of it to get XC3D and save some on XCX.

I am hoping that it comes to Wii U VC before XCX comes out. I don't plan to get a New 3DS, I just know that I won't have time to go through it until I am able to get it cheaper on other systems so I might as well sell it now.

I am also debating on selling more Wii and GameCube games, like my Fire Emblems but that is off topic

don't sell anything... you will instantly regret selling Xenoblade, Fire Emblem etc.
