I'm only about three hours in (just got to control the other team on their own for the first time) and like it so far. I do hope it lets me off the rails soon and I can just explore because the areas seem huge and it looks like there's plenty of random side quests to find in the open world.
Voice acting is good so far ("Lanz wants something meatier" has been heard 34 times) but I'm disappointed the Nopon just sounds like a normal guy. Rikki ruled.
i'm like 12 hours and it's still very much "oh this cutscene is preventing me from exploring? hm ok". also still constantly unlocking new mechanics, i've gotten like three new menus in the last two hours.
i love the plot and the acting and the characters and the combat system.... video games are good again.
Yeah it's very much CUTSCENE, WALK A BIT, TUTORIAL but I'm enjoying it.
I am finding all the information a bit overwhelming. Like it forced me to switch everyone's classes to get used to that mechanic and I'm not even used to them as their starting classes yet! But I feel like I'd be missing out to ignore this feature?
There was a cutscene where Eunie called Lanz a "muppet" which implies that muppets canonically exist in the Xenoblade universe, because how else would that insult have come about?
I like how it encourages exploration with the husks, containers and supply drops visible in the distance. Finding a new landmark and getting that fanfare and the EXP makes wandering off the path feel worthwhile too. Also want to find all the colonies to free them from clock fascism.
Took a brief Xenobreak to check out the new Mario Kart DLC. I like how you have to drive through the train tunnel now.
