There's a large selection of partners you can choose: newbie soldier Gwin, the xenoform L who's fascinated with Earth culture, your pompous, self-proclaimed rival H.B., and others.Ĭharacters differ in fighting styles through the weapons they use.

The main storyline will have you locked into using Cross, Elma, and Lin, a 13-year-old prodigy engineer, plus one other character of your choice (can be swapped out at any time), but between story missions you're free to use whoever you want. Cross is (obviously) forced to be in the party at all times, but you can take control of the other characters the game provides for you and let the AI use your character if you so desire. Xenoblade is played in a group of up to 4 characters at once. This section seems hard to write because it's an RPG and a comprehensive one at that, but let's try: Survival is not easy, and although the planet has a lot to offer, not everything (or every one) is as willing to see the human race make its new home. Together, the two of you navigate back to New LA, the home base of operations for humanity, and you learn about BLADE (Builders of the Legacy After the Destruction of Earth) and its different goals in securing humanity's future. You wake up as your avatar (you name and design them, but the player character is referred to as ∼ross outside the game, so I'll just call them ∼ross) in a pod two months later, suffering from plot-convenient amnesia as you're rescued by a high-ranking officer named Elma. The White Whale stayed in space for roughly two years before it was attacked and crashed into planet Mira. Warring alien races threatened the safety of Earth but, fortunately, an enormous pioneer ship we had built named the White Whale carried the hope of the continuation of the human race as our planet was destroyed. Xenoblade Chronicles X is set on planet Mira in the year 2054. It seemed like a game I could easily boot up for a little while after the Dota clan had dispersed for the night and I still had gas in the tank before bed.Īs anyone who plays Dota knows, it didn't really end up like that.
Skyrim was growing old and after almost 800 hours in Borderlands 2 I'd achieved basically all it had to offer.
#Insidia xenoblade chronicles x series#
Xenoblade drew my eye because I'd heard great things about the series (mostly from Gil) and because, working nights, oftentimes I can be up at hours of the night where nobody's up for multiplayer. After looking at my WiiU and realizing I only actually owned two games (Smash and Splatoon) for it, I figured I'd probably like to turn that purchase into more than a Smash machine and set out for something new to add to it.
