Just thought I redeem Xenoblade Chronicles as a My Nintendo reward at the end of January...what do I think of the game so far? Already excited for the sequel!
Amazing game. Simply amazing.
really wanted to like that game but it was really bad in my opinion. It had bad voice acting that didn't even match the characters or their lips movement (speaking about the English dub of course, the Japanese one was fine), it had the worst map I ever had to deal with in any of the games I've played, and the gameplay mechanics were much better in the first game, everything felt so slow. Loved Nia tho, she saved what left from this game for me. what a sweetheart <3
