    xenoblade 2 could have toned down the body proportions a lot, then i wouldn't feel bad reccomending it to people as one of my favorite games

      The slightest changes to the appearances during localization caused :stupidpol: to explode with rage already.

      I didn't bother with Xenoblade because its surface presentation was so obnoxiously waifu focused that I didn't stick around. Maybe I missed something good.

        it's got its charm :shrug-outta-hecks: beautiful environmental design, great stories, and, at least in the second, intricate combat. The first one I can recommend wholeheartedly, especially with Definitive Edition, it's infinitely more tasteful and it's got a more engaging story of the two IMO

        i'd rec experiencing them through ChuggaaConroy's two playthroughs (though the first is the original Wii version and not definitive with redone graphics) if you're skeptical about picking them up, because the dude is comprehensive and passionate when it comes to the game

        all I can say is that the story's aren't what you'd expect initially and MonolithSoft designed the graphics for Skyward Sword and did some of the level design in BOTW, so they have a reputation as far as that goes. IMO they're in the Final Fantasy tier of weeb games when it comes to depth.
