Is that supposed to be a joke? The game offers more than just story telling though voiced lines.

heh I quite enjoy the english dub. Makes me chuckle at how b-rate it is. It's kinda fun.
I'm all about that levity in dub'd anime.
But the original JAP audio is good too and available.

I'd say get it for sure. I'm about 20 hours in and I'm only on chapter 3. Gameplay is fun, story is great, and it's really addicting.
I read it's like a 70 hour game even without side quests.
You're getting a lot for your money

I don’t really care about the resolution I care about the quality of the game

i bought it few days ago ...the game is amazing so far

I would like to know if I should buy xenoblade chronicles 2 on Switch. I have never played Xenoblade an I am worried that I wouldn’t understand the game.

the story doesnt really transfer over between games just the combat system and a few subtle references

It's an awesome game, truly great. As long as you are aware going in that it's a JRPG and hence conforms to cultural norms that may be difficult for western audiences to empathise with, ie 'maid culture'.

Also it contains many cut scenes, exploration requires more than blind reliance on mini maps, character building and the battle systems require learning.

If you're up for a game that takes 20hrs to open up all it's systems and get a grip of what is a truly amazing battle sysem and story then this is truly a great JRPG.

My personal opinion is that the voice acting is far less irritating than XC1, the story is less pretentious than XC1 and the battle system is far far superior. Character building is less in depth than XCX and exploration is less open but story and battle system are superior.

It's a full 80hours+ of JRPG gaming, with all the quirks of the genre.

As an owner of the game just like any jrpg its gonna start very slow with tutorials in your face within the 1st 3 chapters [mostly] points aside you should buy games that will keep you busy in the long run aside from Zelda
this game has tons of stuff to do. The battlesystem can be abit overwhelming at 1st, but as Linkmstr pointed out you have to keep playing more in through the story. Aslong you have patience with jrpg games this will be an easy buy for you
The characters are very interesting aswell and it does have its funny fanservice moments similar to Tales games. I think you'll enjoy it. Voice acting never bothered me unless your fighting imperial troops who keep saying
"THINK YOU CAN TAKE ME!" "DONT FORGET ME!" thats the only time I muted the game lol Other than that the English voices are fine if you give it a chance more than 1 chapter of the story.

I thought that Morag was Welsh accent and there some other northern accents but Scottish?

Anyway the story is rather good the combat system is complex and rewarding

Many hours spend even bought the season pass , well worth it...

Your mileage may vary, but personally, I loved it! It's a JRPG, through and through, with all the baggage that entails. But the story was fantastic, and I really liked the gameplay. If you like JRPGs, then go ahead and grab this one.

If you can understand an anime you can understand XBC2. It's a completely different set of characters from the first game, and far in the future from the first.

thats just wrong.

only if you enjoy a poorly designed compass. has well as waypoints/fast_travel points that fail to unlock properly at times and can cause you to have to restart from the beginning. gamefaq has 20 so far listed that sometimes fail to unlock. 5 are story point related

There was a recent update that supposedly fixed the compass and waypoints. If not, I believe that's something they said they're working on.
