Played through XC2 and I felt like I was pushing myself through. Just so I can use my Switch.

Bought XC for my 3DS and the first few hours. I'm already more invested in the story and Fiora. Etc.

Wish they'd release a remaster version for the Switch.

It's pretty good, but the whole sidequest and NPC social network is a bit overwhelming to me.

The combat system was getting pretty boring, but I switched characters a few times and it reinvigorated my love for it.

The story gets off the rails by the end tho.

I also definitely like the artstyle more than than the anime cross chibi style of 2.

XC2 killed my faith in Takahashi which is a shame as he was behind my favorite game. Feels like he surrendered to the infectious fanservice moe animu tarpit.

Ironic since the emotions in XC for the 3DS mind you have very expressive emotions already.

Such a shame since XC had the perfect art style for me. It reminded me of PS2-era Square games like FFXI and FFXII.

Was also impressed with the fluid animations in cut scenes. Good-looking fight scenes and excellent body language throughout (especially for Metal Face).

Yes. I definitely enjoyed 2 but after awhile it started getting stale. Storywise.

After playing for 1 for awhile now. I kinda like and miss the gameplay more of 2.

XBC is one of my favorite jrpgs. The soundtrack is really top notch, the characters and voice acting are entertaining, the battle system is fun, the aesthetic is gorgeous, and the story is mostly interesting.

It's almost too bad the game was limited to the Wii's meager hardware. It looks so much better on Dolphin that it does on the Wii.

XC2 is the slowest burn ever but into chapter 3 now and it's getting real good. Like I've basically hated it till this point but at some point the combat started to click and now I feel like I *get* it.

Only thing is the needlessly convoluted and excessive item system. I have maybe 500 excess items and I have basically no idea what any of them do.

You say that but like 90% of the Switch's titles worth buying are all ports.

I'd probably get suckered into buying an HD remaster.

Same for me. After seeing the recent additions to 2 it made me think an HD remake (not just a remaster) would look great. Maybe not make it so cel-shaded though.

Yeah Fiora and Shulk looked great but they're wayyyy too colorful and bright lol. I rather like the faded/toned down color palette.

2s probably good if you like JRPGs oversaturated with shitty anime tropes. Aka a large chunk of the genre nowadays. 1 felt truly like a trailblazer, and while it did have flaws some other well-executed elements made up for them.

It feels like they completely ignored what made 1 amazing and decided to do the opposite. Especially the combat. I liked having 8 arts + the talent. Not this garbage gacha system with the Blades and tying 3 arts to them.

Also, glad someone else likes 2's gameplay more. I felt the same way. 2's gameplay felt better to me (the combat at least...I think the field skill and gacha systems are bad) but 1 has the better story.

I'm currently playing 2 and having a great time. However, I understand why so many dislike it. Seeing the new artstyle during XC2's reveal was a bit strange in contrast to XC1. Additionally my SO had to walk me through the mechanics since I was so confused. It's better now that I understand what's going on.

If the original is ported to the Switch, I'll definitely buy it. My Wii's in bad shape, and I'm not buying a New 3DS.

Is there a reason why some of the mask robots voice actors/voice sound familiar from earlier in the game? Especially the dick one with the claws? Sounds like that coward from the prologue.

What a twist! Also. I see A LOT of similarities in XC2 and 1. Like A LOT lol. But for some reason, this just flows better than 2.

Gameplay wise. I'm glad they added Blades in 2 to make the combat more interesting.

I like Xenoblade 2 more because the combat is a lot more involving, but the first game is definitely a more polished and wide-appealing product

like the way each game handles their tutorials is the clearest sign, Xenoblade has nice clean diagrams even a child could probably understand reminiscent of a Level-5 game and if I recall it even lets you go back and review them from the menu, while Xenoblade 2 just drops a series of text boxes on you in a blitz and if you want to review them better hope you took some screenshots
