I hope we get a bigger fandom with this game being released.

6:48 I like how the Wii U’s negatives is that it’s just the wiiu

Just leaving a comment for the youtube algorithm because more people need ro see this

When I hear this level of gushing, I always think to myself, “let’s not lose our heads though!”

10:10 It's Duncan, actually

Hey everyone! I know a lot of you guys are already on the Xenoblade hype train and might know this game, so this video is mainly aimed for newcomers to the first game or the series in general. I wanted to show them why we love this game and series so much. If you know a friend or someone that might be interested in playing the original then pass this video on to them. I'd love to see plenty of new people fall in love with this game just like we did. Thanks for all the support as usual and I'll see you on Friday!

8:43 I like how the beat drops RIGHT as Reyn gets Sparta'd off the cliff

Shoutout to that delicious Colony 9 Night music! ❤️👌🏼

I’m that one friend who shoves Xenoblade Chronicles 1 down my friends’ throats because I love that game.

My favorite moment is this game is when I finally get revenge on Territorial Rotbart, that is the one thing in this game I live for.

This game's music is absolutely insane. I literally started to tear up at hearing You Will Know Our Names out of sheer hype.

I still find it amazing that they managed to squeeze this into a tiny cartridge on the new 3DS. I treasure that cartridge so much.

Is it weird that I watched this video after owning DE.

Great review! Watching one more review before I dive in for the first time and I’m incredibly hyped

Amazing video, hopefully lots of people see this video, and maybe more people will join the franchise fanbase with this, like many did with 2 (whether from the artstyle to the Rex costume in Breath of the Wild (like I did)) Although one thing with the music worth correcting you on, the explicit wording stated rerecording more than 90, of an album of 91. Which means not just a large number, it means *all* of them, plus the new songs

I think definitely one of the best aspects for Xenoblade is the environments. Despite the game being released on the Wii and 3DS with terrible resolutions, the environments were still breathtaking. And I think that still holds true for Definitive Edition. It's such a beautiful game, and the music sure as hell makes the environments all the more beautiful.

I'm buying the physical edition just so I can give it to my older brother when I'm done. I can't wait to hear about his reactions to all of the crazy twists

I legit made a video just like this, but as a fellow xenoblade fan I can agree with that. Great video! Xenoblade fanbase for life!

It's been so long since I played the game I can basically experience new again. Very excited!

subbed, just trying to work out what quests i can avoid and the combat. 1st ever xeno game. well played. good video

That was a great video! I am totally gonna replay Xenoblade 2 while I play definitive because of how the story goes not gonna spoil anything though those that have played now what I mean I'm sure.

Great Review, SO GLAD that I played Xenoblade 2 on the Switch! Loved that game and it got me into Xenoblade 1 Which I also Love. What an amazing franchise. Hopefully they'll port over Chronicles X to the Switch also.

What is Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition and Why You Should Play It Answer: It's Xenoblade and you should just play it. But never trust Shulk, he will "backslash" you LOL.

I recently finished it couple months ago and I loved it!! Great game and currently playing 2 right now. All we need is X on switch and they’re all here!

I'm so excited

You had my sub at "with an emphasis on xenoblade content" I haven't picked up definitive edition yet partly due to the last time I played Xenoblade being last year and partly due to lack of money. I absolutely love Xenoblade though and am excited to play the remake when I can

I am so excited for this game!

Can't wait to boot it up - good thing I won't have to wait anymore very soon :D

Finally getting a Switch and ordered this and part 2, I’m looking forward to playing them.

Wanted a nice RPG to play with an amazing story. I'm convinced!

Easily one of the best JRPGs (if not games in general) ever made. Played the OG and was blown away by it. And now with the definitive edition I'm blown away again. A true modern masterpiece.

Also awesome video Kay

great video!

The way Xenoblade engrosses you into its narrative and gameplay is what makes this game so good in my opinion. If more people gave this game a chance then I'm sure most of them would be hooked by at least the end of chapter 2

This is the first time I’m playing this beautiful game ur video made my nostalgia from watching chuggaconroys lp when I was in middle school come out and It made me but it instantly this is a staple rpg game every rpg fan or even for new players my girlfriend loves the story the game is just amazing if you don’t have it you need to get it next

I am sold. Gonna get this game soon👍🏻

I remember being so hyped for this when it came out for the wii in the US. My local game store only got like 5 copies, and I bought the first one. Unfortunately, the game was too much for me. I couldn't wrap my head around the combat and kept getting stuck. I eventually stopped playing video games altogether for many years and sold everything I had, but I just got an OLED switch and I'm excited to play some games again! I really want to give this one another try, as I feel I just need to get to a point where I'm comfortable with the combat and different systems within the game to actually progress through the story.

Comment for the algorithm. Love your content.

I actually really liked playing with the Wii mote and nunchuck. It allowed you to move around and freely pick your arts at the same time during combat. It just felt more fluid. Maybe I'm just weird though.

Do you think you'll be doing a discussion (or multiple, I suppose) on your overall thoughts on this game? I've been a long-time fan of the series (since 2012), but I only recently found your channel and love the things you have to say (I also just saw your 999 video, holding off on the rest of those until I play them myself) Got a little sidetracked, but I'd like to see what you think - about Future Connected and what the series may have in the future, as well as what was and wasn't changed

Oh yeah

I appriciate the golden sun reference

Never played the 1st Xenoblade but now it makes me appreciate this game so much more since I started with X and loved it only to find out that 1 and 2 are so story driven that it blows X out of the water Seeing characters I actually liked oppose to ok characters in X made me really appreciate this original game, yes even Riki, prefer him over Tatsu absolutely hate him

Kay! Long time fan. I was also part of operation rainfall so I’m also a long time fan of this game. One note for you. The developers came out and said this is in fact a remaster and NOT a remake. They put more work into it than they thought they would, but it’s still a remaster. Also none of the music has been recorded with an orchestra but instead samples. Hope this helps. Can’t wait.

please please play this game !!!!

I am more than excited to finally play the remake as I already played the original over 200 hours. I really miss the environment you'll be put in and the fantastic music attached to it like shown in colony 9.

Just watched your video and it's insta sub for me. I'm glad I discovered your channel. Btw. You have a great voice and pronunciation as a KZfaqr.

I'll be playing this game for the first time with this version. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is up there in my favorite games of all time list, and from what I've heard, Xenoblade Chronicles is looking to join it. I do have a question though: with such a banger of a soundtrack, should I start with the remastered version or the original music?

The jewelry store!!

Dude your video convinced me to buy the game. Thank you

I'll get it as soon as I'm finished with bug fables.

i first picked up xenoblade x back in summer of 2016, I still have it and man I struggled with it, for me it was such a hard game at times, and i feel some of the systems havent aged the best but flying around in a skell for a while made me realize I could overlook some of the meh stuff for the great things the game offered. I decided to pick up 2 a few months after it came out and it blew me away, i have problems with it but it was there for me in a bad time and it gave me an escape to get sucked into, i spent hours tracking down different blades and grinding to get KOS-MOS specifically lmao. Then on Easter last year I picked up xenoblade 1 on the wiiu cuz i had heard it was one of the "greatest JRPGs ever" I didnt believe it but the last two blew me away so why not try it? I didnt get far, I only got to the Eryth sea, but I LOVED it. I dont know why but i put it down for a while, until we got probably one of the best Nintendo directs ever in my opinion, September 4th 2019. It was the last announcement we've gotten from a direct as of now lol but those first 3 notes absolutely broke me, I almost started crying when it showed shulk and my friend was asking "WHAT IS IT DUDE?" it was so memorable. I didn't pick up the original again until about a week and a half ago, my cousin asked me what game i wanted and i told her Xenoblade Definitive Edition. I played it, beat it, and I think it is one of , if not my favorite game of all time. Thank you xenoblade for always bein there for me, I hope new ones come out with consistent quality.

I just bought the Definiive edition, the second game and the season pass because I liked Zelda and need sonething to play and it was all in Sale and I hope I like it. The scenery, the story, the exploration and many secrets look promising so I hope I‘ll have my fun!

Once I finish dragon quest I'll get on this one I've always thought the smash stage looked so sick.

Helping Monado Max with commenting because of the youtube algorithm

Alright, this video convinced me

the original xenoblade was already my favorite game of all time (and i played it on the low quality and clunky 3DS port of all things) and this remake improves on it in pretty much every way. i've already sunk over 120 hours into this within the first 9 days of release and i still plan on playing it for many more. the gameplay, the story, the environments, the soundtrack, the sheer amount of content and worldbuilding provided by the almost 500 sidequests throughout the course of the game, everything about it is even more fun than it was when i first played it half a decade ago. i've never fangirled over a game this hard and i probably never will again, it's just. it's really good guys tldr play xenoblade chronicles definitive edition for the nintendo switch

I got into the series via Xenoblade 2, actually getting the game the same day I got my switch in Christmas 2017. Since then, I've put over 400 hours into that game alone, making it one of my favorite games of all time. My boyfriend convinced me to play Xenoblade 1, along with X, and both of which I fell in love with. Everyone should play these games, in some form or another. Watching a playthrough (Like chuggaconroy's) is great and all (Especially his, Chugga is incredible), but it can't match playing through the game with your own two hands. If anyone is hesitant on picking up this game, PLEASE buy it, I can assure that you won't be disappointed.

3:59 oh dang, using my favorite portable jrpg to make a point about my favorite console jrpg!? wish i could subscribe a second time! ps: golden sun part 4 WHEN NINTENDO

Because it's a masterpiece.

I’m all into the Xenoblade fandom.

Also as a fan I never knew that Xenoblade was a subseries. Very interesting.

Great video man! I have a question I was hoping you could answer for me related to the battle system. When you have a vision of a near future attack what are some ways you can prevent it from happening? I remember having trouble with that in the original game. I know it depends based on the circumstances like you cant always use Monado Shield but I wasn't sure.

i aint got much to say so im just commenting to increase engagement

❤❤❤❤❤

Sadly I am not very good at convincing people to give something a try. But maybe I can convince some of my friends to watch this video. Than I'd have a better chance to talk to my friends about this masterful series

I agree with everything you say, the xenoblade franchise is my favorite franchise of all time, more people need to play this game and thank you for trying to explain everything in this game, but like you said words can't explain how life changing this game is.

Yeah, it's my favourite game now.

Didn’t finish 2 yet and got the remaster and I love the battle system more in the original 😭

Just play it if you are not sure. Truuuuuust it. Oh my god, this is such an omega good game...

I'm currently taking a poopsie in a jar when I'm done I'm going to go and try and buy the game. Good video bro

DAMMIT SHULK! You didn't even bite the sandwich, how can you know its taste?!

6:47 LOL Wii U

I'm so glad this game will be experienced by a lot more people. I'd consider this game the modern video game equivalent to Lord of the Rings.

did anyone see alvis' necklace

"lacking visuals" as a negative on the 3DS version... Somehow I disagree a bit here. While yes, the 3D visuals is a nice bonus exclusive to this version, having played both the Wii and 3DS versions, I feel they're both roughly identical aside from having a smaller screen and a slightly lower resolution. I still enjoyed the game to completion on the 3DS version just fine despite owning and playing the Wii version but stopping midway through. I wouldn't fully rule out the 3DS version unless you're EXTREMELY particular wanting full HD visuals with higher-quality models, then of course I'd recommend the Switch version... which is honestly going to be the most common version to find in this day and age anyway.

I’m just here cause of the xenoblade breathe of the wild dlc crossover

This version of the game is better in every way. Everything is better, even the music!! I didn't know that was possible

NO DISLIKES!!! I LOVE IT!

i like throwing that wiimote haha

Im really feeling the wii’s graphics

Alright I’ll buy it. Fuck

I bought this game a long time ago and have yet to dive into it. Idk why I always have a hard time starting a brand new game

Shunk & Fiona Rain & Sarla Duncan & Mehlia Rocki & Napons 8/10 IGN This video review is way better, from someone who actually played the game and can point what a masterpiece this game is.

This game kind of sneaked up on me. I bought this game with zero knowledge of xenoblade whatsoever. The only thing i knew about it was shulk being the main character, knowing him from smash bros. I had completely different expectations, think this was an action rpg. At the start i was kind off dissapointed thinking 'MMO mechanics in a single player rpg, tf ? I thought i had just spent my money on a game i was going to hate. I told myself i'm still going to keep on playing for at least 10h just to see where it takes me. Now, somewhere in those 10 hours i started to love this game and i don't even know what the tipping point was ! I'm 30h in now and can't even stop thinking about it while i'm not playing. Great game, fully recommend to any rpg/jrpg fan !

Man, the uncanny valley is strong with this one.

Never 100% the original because of quests finding & wii batteries now I have more incentive to do so because of easy accessibility & qol changes

GGOAT

Im sad i was so hyped to play my first xenoblade game But amazon delayed my copy of the game and i cant get a refund to buy it at a store so i have to wait 4 more days

"Everything about this game is perfect" There, saved you 15 minutes

Even as someone who is a bit dead inside, I feel pain from having to wait 36 hours for this.

Hey Switch users, I'm one of the players who was fortunate enough to play the original Xenoblade Chronicles on the Wii when it first came out. I know that some of you are new to the Xeno series, and especially this game, so I want to help you out, one player to another. If you need any help on side quests, or other information about the game, then I recommend that you check out xenoblade.fandom.com. Here's a link to the side quest section of the game. xenoblade.fandom.com/wiki/Quest_(XC1)

Gotta say, I am so glad that I din't own a new 3DS XL so that I wont play this game on those graphic.. the (fiora face lol) The remake on switch is sooooo good

Let's put it like this: People often say that Xenoblade was one of the best JRPGs of its generation. I however would remove all those three qualifiers.

This is gonna be my third time buying Xenoblade Chronicles. I'll do it again if I can find a European collector's edition at a good price.

Does anybody know the song used at 11:40?

Rushed the story in 45 hours....I just wanted to know what happends...will play it slower someday

whats the music around 11:45?

People saying graphics aint that nice, MAN SHUTDAFUKUP better than before/10

This game was amazing The exploration isn't really that good tbh Is it just me or the world feels more like many maps in one game
