dinah was my favourite, she's so fun and she's got a great theme tune. love the free rangers and captain plankbeard tooSo who were your favorite characters in the OG Chibi-Robo?
I personally love the princess and mummy side quest. I also loved everything with Dinah and Funky Phill.
And of course, Drake Redcrest is a hoot.
thanksShoutout the all the people to managed to find this game on the Wii before it got ludicrously expensive.
Still great. But upon replaying the entire series in anticipation for 3 (NG+ with no armor), I will say that it is probably the weakest one in the trilogy. This is simply because the sequels were able to build up on combat, side quests and other mechanics. But I also think XB1 is still the best overall package where 2 and 3 do some things very well and others not as well and 1 is more balanced.Shoutout the all the people to managed to find this game on the Wii before it got ludicrously expensive.
Xenoblade Chronicles
Game Summary:
In this world, there are two giants, the Bionis and the Mechonis. Each of these giants are large enough to house One the Bionis, biological life flourishes, but on the Mechonis, mechanical life was born. These biological and mechanical beings have been at war for a long time. The mechanical weapons have the upper hand as all conventional weapons seem to be ineffective. Only one weapon can damage Mechon forces: the Monado.
At the feet of the Bionis, lies Colony 9 where many homs (humans) built their home. A young boy named Shulk lives there as an engineer with his friends, Reyn, Fiora and Dunban. Dunban is an old war hero who wielded the Monado. Reyn is Shulk's best friend and Fiora is Shulk's love interest. Everything is going well until the Mechon attack. In the attack, Shulk manages to grab ahold of the Monado and wield it like no one has wielded it before. Unfortunately, Shulk's precious Fiora is killed in the battle by a giant faced Mechon. Shulk and Reyn decide to go on a journey to avenge their fallen friend. While on their journey, Shulk starts getting visions of the future. Can he use these visions to avenge Fiora?
The gameplay of Xenoblade Chronicles takes many cues from western MMO RPGs. You explore the world with a third person view and a very small jump. You can find items in blue wisps and look for landmarks and story progress. The battles of Xenoblade are real time. When in battle, assuming you're close enough, your character will automatically attack the enemy. You will need to position your character and choose which specials moves to use. Some moves are stronger when you are beside or behind an enemy. Some moves are better when certain status conditions have been applied. Due to Shulk's visions, he can also see attacks that his enemies will do. Sometimes, these visions can predict a character death or a massive hit. You'll have to prepare accordingly to react to this new information. This creates a dynamic system where you will have to adapt your strategy on the fly.
Xenoblade Chronicles has been remade twice. Once for the New Nintendo 3DS and once for the Definitive Edition on Switch. The Definitive Edition adds a whole new story and lots of side content.

The game is a JRPG treat! I managed to find a copy at Gamestop for 50 dollars way back when the game was super hard to find. I had heard of Shulk from Smashboards. Xenoblade had a lot of hype and I'll admit, people's hype won me over.
And... it lived up to the hype. The OG Xenoblade had some muddy graphics, but the word design, music, storytelling and characters really won me over. I won't say the gameplay is super great, because it isn't, but its fun enough to let the story and world flow.
I'd recommend it to anyone who was interested, but it is LONG. If you want a shorter game, this isn't for you.
they’re fine. Why?So, what do you think of the game's sprites?
