[Let’s Talk] Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition impressions

Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition launched this week, making it one of Nintendo’s last big releases of the Switch 1 era. It’s technically not a new game given that it first appeared on Wii U, but many system owners probably missed it the first time around. Even if you’ve played it before, there’s new content to go through – not to mention the game has received a ton of improvements.

If you’ve started playing Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition this week, what are your thought thus far? Are you a new or returning player? Let us know in the comments.

Highlights from last week’s topic: Games you can’t believe exist

I still can’t believe Atelier Sophie ~The Alchemist of the Mysterious Book~ got a 2022 interquel with Atelier Sophie 2: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Dream, but that’s mainly because while I wasn’t fully a fan of the Atelier series myself, it became my favorite Atelier game (and Switch RPG) and one of my absolute favorite games of all time. It was seemingly an Atelier game that was built specifically for me and therefore, I had a lot of fun with it left and right.

Metroid Prime 4 is too easy, so let’s go with Suikoden 1&2 remasters.

New Pokemon Snap is the biggest gaming surprise sequel I’ve ever seen. It’s also such an amazing game and well worth the wait to finally get a sequel.

Emio the smiling man is probably the most out of nowhere revival Nintendo has ever done. Or honestly the fact that they remade and localized the first 2 famicom detective club games is also wild.

Saga Scarlet Embrace is still kind of a surprise to me today. Saga is easily getting more attention, but I never quite suspected that the oldest JRPG series to be about as open world as Elder Scrolls still has made entries after the early 2000s, let alone so heavily after around 2004 or something.
