I got Xenoblade 2 for Christmas and it has to be one of the deepest RPGs I've ever played, especially when it comes to its battle system. I've logged about 15 hours into it and have read a bunch of online guides, yet I'm still struggling to wrap my head around some of the mechanics. Its depth almost reminds me of an MMORPG. It makes Elder Scrolls or Fallout seem like a Fisher Price toy in comparison.
That being said though, I think I'm enjoying it so far aside from some perplexing design decisions (does there really need to be like 25 different types of merchants?). The battle system is so unique it's hard not to be enthralled with it, and I also like the look of the game as well as the soundtrack.
Yea I beat it last week put about 70 hours into. Such an amazing game deep story, and great battle mechanics like you said. What I love is that eventually you are forced to learn the battle mechanics if you to survive and beat the later bosses. Sometimes games with deep systems like this will ignore it all and let you get by with just swinging away and basic spells. Not this game you will learn the mechanics or you will not pass. Like chain combo I did't understand until chapter 7-8 when I was forced to learn it.
Yes you can, I do with with Splatoon 2 quite often. Doesn't use a lot of data either.
Yea they released a study\stat sheet showing how much data is used during online play it was surprisingly very little.
Dude...play it for 80-100 hours and compare it to elder scrolls. 15 hours isn't nearly enough to make a claim like that. Average adventure/action games range from 10-15 hours.
Cause I can tell you right now - if there are 25 different kinds of merchants, the game is confusing. Don't confuse that with depth.
The merchants thing isn't confusing at all but I agree I don't see the need to separate so many merchants but it's easy to know which is which. The pictures above their head clearly let you know. Without a doubt the games combat has a lot more depth than elder scrolls and fallout 4 same with the story. I love elder scrolls and fallout but the combat and story have never really been it's strong suite.
What carrying case are yall using?
I got this one just recently:

I originally had the bigger ones the sell at target with Mario kart on it but two issues:
1. I work in a business environment and I didn't like people seeing me carrying my Mario case around. Felt weird in that environment.
2. It was to thick. This new one is much slimmer and fits into my laptop bag without making it to bulky.
