Xenoblade Chronicles, known in Japan as Xenoblade (ゼノブレイド, Zenobureido), is a role-playing video game published by Nintendo[2] and developed by Monolith Soft[3] for the Wii console. The game was announced during E3 2009, when a trailer was released to media. The trailer shows a futuristic sword-wielding character battling giant robots and creatures as well as third-person exploration gameplay.[4][5] In January 2010, the game was renamed from Monado: Beginning of the World to Xenoblade to honour Tetsuya Takahashi, "who poured his soul into making this and who has been working on the Xeno series".[6] The game was released on June 10, 2010 in Japan,[7] and was released on August 19, 2011 in Europe[8] and on September 1, 2011 in Australia.[1] There are currently no plans for a North American release.

Gameplay

It has been stated that the game will convey the feeling of freedom to the player, and would not be as focused on cutscenes and story as its sibling games.[9]

The game attempts to convey the feeling of freedom through large, expansive environments.

Xenoblade Chronicles has an action-based battle system where normal attacks will happen automatically at intervals, similar to the set up in Final Fantasy XII. However, special attacks known as arts each have their own cool down time as opposed to being on a continuous time queue with normal attacks and are performed manually by the player. Arts for each character have to be set on a "battle palette" at the bottom of the screen, which can be modified outside of battle.[10] Movement of the character in play also needs to be executed manually with the analog stick, however this only plays an integral role when using Shulk's arts as they are more effective if used from the side or behind. Xenoblade also has the "Visions" system, where Shulk can see glimpses of the future, and the player has to try to react or prevent it from happening.[11]

The game is known to have a number of features labeled as "Time Saving Support Features".[12] For instance, while the game will have a day and night time cycle, players can "wind the clock" to the time they want to go to, rather than just letting time elapse. Additionally, while the game is about exploration, many warp points will be added to aid in traversing the land. The game will also sport a "save anywhere" feature, a feature relatively rare among the console RPG genre.

Another of the game's systems is the "bonds system", in which characters can partake in many optional sidequests with non-player characters. Completing such quests can alter perception of the character in the towns, and open up additional story sequences.[13]

The game will also have extensive customization, such as being able to change the character's outfits, and having those changes be seen in battle, field, and even event scenes.[13]

Story

Characters

  • Shulk is the main protagonist of the game, and one of few able to wield the legendary energy blade Monado. His first act upon acquiring the "destined weapon, the Monado" is to hunt the Mechon, the mechanical forces of the Mechonis (Kishin), that attack his home, known as "Colony 9".
  • Fiora is Shulk's childhood friend and the younger sister of Dunban.
  • Dunban, age 30. Considered a great hero by all on the Bionis (Kyoshin), Dunban previously wielded the Monado against the Mechon (Kishinhei). He was a principal force in the battle of Sword Valley (approximately one year before the game's main events take place). Prolonged use of the Monado took its toll on Dunban, and afterwards he could no longer use his right arm, and is unable to wield the Monado. However, he is still able to effectively wield a katana with his left arm to fight his enemies.
  • Reyn - Another of Shulk's childhood friends. Although he is a member of Colony 9's Defense Force, he can often be seen at Shulk and Fiora's side. He uses a shield-gunlance, which can switch from shield mode into gun or lance mode.
  • Sharla - A medic of Colony 6's Defense Force. Uses an ether rifle as her primary weapon but is also skilled in curative ether and fills the role of team medic.
  • Melia - A powerful mage that uses ether arts. She is member of the High Entia race (Haientaa) who reside on the head of the Bionis (Kyoshin). Her age is unknown, but her brother is 151 years old. She seems to show some interest in Shulk later in-game.
  • Riki - Often behaves childlike, but he is actually 40 years old and has at least six children. A member of an race of merchants known as Nopon. Riki is a "black sheep" for his denying of his race's destiny. A natural story-teller, he will go on at length about how he is actually the true legendary hero spoken of in the prophecies. He also sometimes cheers up the team when they are in despair.
  • Dickson - An old friend of Dunban. He uses gunblades in battle.

Reception and release

Xenoblade Chronicles debuted at #1 in its week of release in Japan, selling 83,000 copies.[31] It was also voted the third most interesting game released in Japan during the first half of 2010 in a survey conducted by Dengeki.[32] Japanese magazine Famitsu awarded the game 9/9/9/9 in its review, totaling 36/40.[20] At the end of 2010, the game had sold 161,161 copies in Japan, making it the eighth best-selling Wii game of the year.[33]

The game debuted at seventh on the UK game charts,[34] and at second place on the Wii charts, despite stock shortages.[35] According to Gamasutra, it was the fourth best-selling game in the UK during its first week.[36] The game has received universal acclaim from reviewers, with average aggregate scores of 93% at GameRankings,[15] 92 out of 100 at Metacritic,[14] and 9.3 out of 10 at GameStats.[16]

IGN UK gave the game 9.0 stating that "Xenoblade Chronicles is the best Japanese RPG of this generation".[19] Metro shared a similar view awarding the game 9/10 and saying in conclusion that Xenoblade is "the best Japanese role-player of the current generation and a big step forwards for the genre in terms of accessibility and ambition".[28] Cubed³ gave the game 10/10, stating "Monolith Soft’s grand Xenoblade Chronicles has arrived, bringing with it a sterling soundtrack, a phenomenal visual impact, vast amount of customisation, intriguing story and massive value for money."[24] Eurogamer gave the game 9/10 stating that "It's a game that invites us to reassess an entire genre, pointing to a bold future while nodding its respect towards the past. It's a towering triumph",[18] and later chose Xenoblade Chronicles as game of the week.[37]

Edge said that it's "a glowing comeback for the Japanese RPG" and saying in conclusion that "Xenoblade Chronicles manages to impress, enrich and, best of all, inspire wonder" awarding the game 9/10.[17] The Official Nintendo Magazine have also praised the game, giving it a score of 92% and calling it, "A genre-reviving blaze of wonder, immense scale and smart design."[23] GameSpot UK awarded a 9 out of 10, saying that it "is a remarkable game" and "drags the JRPG into the 21st century, modernising many of the genre's traits and nailing a pace that outclasses the majority of its peers" giving the game a 9.0.[22]

Marketing

In Australia the first release was bundled with a limited edition ’Special Soundtrack’ on CD containing 12 original tracks that were composed specifically for Xenoblade Chronicles.[1] In parts of Europe, a special edition of the game came bundled with a unique red classic controller pro and 3 A1-sized posters, electronically signed by the founder of Monolith Software, Tetsuya Takahashi. Also, the game's soundtrack is available as a download to Club Nintendo members who register the game online, though only for a limited time.

North American localisation

Main article: Operation Rainfall

In an interview on the French television station Nolife, Mathieu Minel, the marketing manager of Nintendo France, stated that Nintendo of Europe was unable to show Xenoblade Chronicles at Electronic Entertainment Expo 2011. Nintendo of America denied it since they are not planning to sell the product locally.[38] In response, on June 22, 2011, users on IGNBoards have started a campaign called "Operation Rainfall" that hopes to persuade Nintendo of America to localize Xenoblade Chronicles, along with the Japan-only Wii titles The Last Story and Pandora's Tower.[39][40] Fans are encouraged to write letters to Nintendo headquarters as well as pre-ordering the game on Amazon, listed under its original title Monado: Beginning of the World.[41][42] On June 25, 2011, it became the #1 best-selling game on Amazon.com, and stayed in that position for over a day.

On July 7, the "Operation Rainfall" website reported a rumor that the North American localisation of Xenoblade Chronicles was finished and The Last Story was in progress, but this has not been officially confirmed.[43][44]
