And it's a momentous occasion. Yeah, it is. It's something that people have been asking for for decades. Yeah, very long time. You know, when I was listening to Kind of Funny back in the day, it was always, when are these guys going to get into Soulslikes?

That was always the conversation. Yeah. But there was always a whisper, see no blade, see no blade, off in the distance. Yeah. And the Soulslikes thing happened. Many of us have, you know, got really, really into the genre. I think the majority of like on-camera people at this point, Soulslikes.

Right. Like the only two that don't really for like gaming content people here are Tim and Greg. Yeah. Everybody else loves a Souls Lake here. But it was just wild

always seeing like, man, they got to play Dark Souls. Man, they got to play Bloodborn. Yeah. But Zeno Blade was always one of the other asks.

Yeah. And Blessing today. You finally get to gush all about Xenoblade Chronicles, which you got to play over on Twitch. TV forward slash Blessing Jr.

And you got to experience It's all of those amazing moments of chat. Were they amazing? I don't know because I've never played it. One of the rare full playthroughs that I've done. Usually when I do a full playthrough on my own channel. You did a full playthrough. Yeah.

So you didn't play any offstream? I've played some. Grindy shit mainly because, yeah, that game, I'll get into it when we talk about it. But this is a game that requires a lot of grinding. A lot of doing side quests, the side quests kind of get monotonous. And I didn't feel like doing that on stream. But for, I'd say 95% of, the story, the main line story content I did on stream.

Damn. Well, everybody, I'm excited to hear all about it. Once again, that was blessed, if you all didn't know. Hi, that's me. If you're just watching this for the first time, we're like, a Xenoblade review in 2026, wow. Here we are. Here we are. I mean, it's the definitive edition for the Nintendo Switch 2, which is

a new release, technically. It is. So, we're getting to it. If you're watching live, be a part of the show by superchatting on YouTube.com forward slash kind of funny games. Remember, we could not do this without our producers on patreon.com forward slash kind of funny where you could support just like they did so big thank you to carl jacobes omega buster delaney the somptuining and lax nomad thank you so much

for your support for now let's begin with topic of the show well with zeno blade chronicles definitive edition nintendo switch two edition does that mean the full title yeah i think i added an extra edition in there for the most part I think it's the birth name. Zeno Blade Chronicles. No, I think I got it right, actually. Is it Zeno Blade Chronicles? No, fuck.

Zeno Blade Chronicles definitive edition. Add the no fuck in there, too, please. Switch 2? Is it just Switch 2? Do they not add addition? Definitive edition. There's no way there's two additions in the title. There's even though.

There's even though. There is. There is two editions. That's crazy. There it is. Why would they do it like that? Because it's Nintendo. Double the addition.

Double the switch. You know, you're on Switch 2. You got to do it. I guess what else do you call it? Yeah. I mean, it makes sense. You could just call the Xenoblade Chronicles Nintendo Switch 2 edition,

but then how do people know it's definitive? How do they know? Zeno Blade Chronicles definitive Nintendo Switch 2 edition. Zeno Blade Chronicles, Nintendo Switch to definitive edition. Look, WNDs. We know about those WNDs. And then it feels like there's multiple Xenoblake Chronicles

for Nintendo Switch 2. Definitive Zeno Blade Edition Chronicles Nintendo Definitive Edition 2. The problem with this is, is that they put this out on the Nintendo Switch 1 before. Yeah. And that was Xenoblake Chronicles definitive edition. So this is the Nintendo Switch 2 edition of that definitive edition.

Then what's X? That's a different game. We've gone through this. It's an entirely different video game. It's a spinobleycronicles for the Wii U. Hmm. Yeah, Zeno Blay Chronicles X is not anything like, well, it's just a different game. What about the gears?

It's a, it's a meta. series. So Zeno Gears is tangentially related to ZenoBlade but it's not the same series. They don't say the word gears in this game at all. What is Zeno Saga and all of this? Yeah. And the morph.

ZenoGre, I think that's a different thing entirely as well. It's a different franchise actually. Before we review ZenoBlade Chronicles, I want to actually start off this review with a different review. Because me and you, we reviewed Splatoon Raiders. And last night, I finally

beat Splatoon Raiders. Oh. And like we gave it scores, whatever. Yeah. And like me having, being at the final levels, I was like, oh, it's an 8.5. That I 10. I, now that I've beaten Zeno, or fuck, now I've beaten Splatoon Raiders, I'm ready to give it a final score.

Oh, shit. I'm bumping that shit up to a nine. Wow. Whoa. Dude. After beating Splatoon Raiders and seeing what the end game is like and like playing even more of it, brother. this is one of the best games of the year.

You know, I'm putting it at an 8.5 now. I'm fucking up. Sputon Raiders is so good. It's crazy. I don't want to stop playing this game. It is. That's so rare for me after beating a game too. How deep are you in that Dussie?

I'm not that deep into the end game. But like, I'm looking at all the stuff they added for the end game. And I'm like, brother, I can play this for another 10 hours, 20 hours if I wanted to. Oh, yeah. It's crazy how much shit they're just like, now just do everything again if you want to, but like we're making it all interesting. Blessing a question from the peanut gallery here.

Are you primarily playing on your own? Yes. Wow. Which is funny because we did the one stream with you with, I streamed with you and Ray. It was a kind of funny stream. That was my first time playing multiplayer like in that proper fashion. And I want to play more multiplayer.

Like that game is fun multiplayer and it's fun single players. Because that's what I hear is that like people like the single player, but they really fucking love the multiplayer. I mean, I know I fucking love the single player We need to do Here's what we need We need to get Greg in

Because I think Greg has potential Yes I think that with how much Greg loves A division or a borderline This whole vacation really threw a wrench Into him getting into the platoon I mean he loves outriders He would love sputoon Raiders

Him and he has a child Yeah Get that little baby on there We need raid week That kind of funny Like we can workshop it Okay But we need to figure it out

Raid is sponsored by Raid Shattal Lid And we need Tim in there too because Tim would like this as well. Because he's a Nintendo free. He's got to get into it because of Nintendo. Yeah. Now, okay. He's the thing.

I think it's a contender. Dude. I think at the end of the year, there's a very good shot this will be on my list. Dude, I was just saying it this morning on the Gregway, where I recorded my Gregway on my treadmill with my physical edition games

showing off all of my physical collection of Switch stuff. And Spletoon Raiders is a brand new addition to the, a fine addition to the collection. And it, I was like, this game will be probably like seven to four in my top ten this year. Maybe it drops to eight

with some surprises later on down the year. But I, it's the most, probably the most fun I've had playing a video game this year. Dude, it's up there for me. Like I have my,

I have the docket points because I hate the music. And then again, I will put the salmon is music. I don't, tell them to make better music. Music and the fashion is lacking. Yeah, for sure.

But it, oh, this makes me so excited. Like, I have it. I mean, my list is really, you've been comprising.

Yeah, I started looking at it. Like, my, it's such a thin list. I don't even have 10 games on here yet. Okay. Like,

because for me, it's like, if I play a game and I'm like, this is a contender, or this could be a contender, that's when I added to the list. I only have like,

oh, maybe I do have 10 games. And no, I have eight games on here. Splatoon Raiders is, like, sitting next to Sorrows for me right now. Like,

That's how much I'm digging Spatoon Raiders. Dude, it's awesome. It's awesome. And it's deep. I see a super chat here from Papa Lexian who says, don't ever say Dussy again. It was like the dungeon. I was like,

how deep are you in that dungeon, that Dussy, you know? I didn't know what you meant. And now that I know what you mean, I like it even less. It keeps going underground, you know? I don't know what we can call the Dussie. Somebody says, bless,

I need you not to forget Mugetics. Mugenics is on the list. I got Mugetics. I got eight games on this list. Muggenics is one of them. He's got Muggenics. Funny enough, Mario Tennis Fever is one of them. What?

But it's at the bottom, though. I'm two games away from just knocking on. By the end of the year, it'll get put down. Yeah, there's no way. There's no way that GTA6 doesn't knock off Mario Tennis Fever at the very least. We got to get you on the Don Walker. I'm excited for it. Like whenever we get that shit, we need you in.

Dude, on this Nintendo Switch, dude, do you want to get on here? The Blood of Don Walker, sorry, I said it. I got Dents Attack on here. Yeah, he needs to prioritize Dentsch Attack. So do you, honestly, Andy. I got Delta Rune chapter 5 on here I would however Um

Just don't got out like that I am I'm about eight hours into Red Dead 2 again A game called Ballars Gate 3 Jesus I saw a bunch of I saw the bunch of mods dude And like

Oh my God I have like the mods are crazy And it's I'm not talking like You know Big Big boobs big ass Big Bulge I didn't think you were talking about The mods that I'm installing

Well I mean hey Don't accuse me Wow But also don't look at my computer. The mods that I have have like auto sell any of these items. There's like a bag in your inventory that like if I get just, if I pick up a stupid ass plate by accident, you can toss it in the auto sell this thing. Auto sell this thing.

Auto sell items like this. Oh, that's nice. And it does all that shit. I got a, I got like auto send food to the camp. Fantastic. Oh, that's a mechanic. That's annoying as hell. I basically got, like, all the best quality of life mods.

And again, you know, I really, really, really, really want. And so Mike wants us to do a big stream for Ballersgate 3. We always talk about when are we going to finally do a big marathon stream and do the Ballersgate thing, the Ballersgate 3 thing. And he's like, I want Nick, Andy, Greg, and Tim. I'm like, him would never fuck with that. Wait, where am I in this? Well, he wanted it to be like the, the, OG. He said the founders. I was like, I don't think

Colin's going to be on that. But like I, he wanted to be us for. I was like, I think it just needs to be us again with somebody else. Another special person. Yeah. And I'm looking at him. Rayne Arvarez. Rayne Arvay's coming back. But

there's also another mod that again, we'll get to the, we'll get to the review very, very soon. There's another mod that lets you, the game acts out of four players just by default. but there's a mod that lets you play up to eight players and then up to eight like character person controlled players and then you could even go up to I think it's like 16 where you could put NPCs as the other.

It's crazy like there's so much cool shit. I've been playing with the WASDI mode where it plays like a third person game running around with the camera like behind my back. Man. Hell yeah. Had some awesome discovery. I was like dude. This was in the beginning.

I've played the beginning of the game probably like seven times. just on different streams or whatever. Finding shit that I never found, I was like, dude, this game is unbelievable, man. I definitely did not put it as high as I should have been in the top 100. The fact that, like, even in just that first area, look at my game timer on Steam,

I played like 30 hours. And I'm like, dude, I played 30 hours. I didn't even make it out of Act 1. I was just hanging out in that, like, first area they put you in because there's so much shit there. And there's so much shit that you still probably miss. It's just crazy. Like, I've gone through the, yeah, it's unbelievable.

A very, very good video game. Real Garatee in the chat says, aswat according to Kevin that's what he calls Aswad, I hate that But anyway, that's I'm glad you love Splatoon I'm glad that you raised your score to O'9

and I raised mine to an 8.5 Beautiful stuff right there You gotta go back and amend the original review that we did Yeah, we could put like a little liner note Yeah like a comment or some kind of update the description be like updated scores We can have like Roger edited or something like

Yeah, I like that Get on that Roger Discovered the origins of Shulk as he and his companions clash against a seemingly unstoppable mechanical menace. Weald a future seeing blade. Word, it's a future scene.

Dude! Let me get, oh man. Just wait. The one with a hole in it. Yeah. The Monado. Chain together attacks and carefully position your party members in strategic, real-time combat.

Blessing. Andy. How long did it take you to beat Xenoblade Chronicles, not X? Just Zeno Blade Chronicles. definitive edition Nathan's 2 edition

70 hours Whoa! And that's with me like not even doing as much stuff as I wanted to like there's so much side shit that they throw at you in the end game that I'm sure

I can just pick up the game they keep a save before the final fight so I can pick up the game and then go back and do a lot of these other things once I get the time to do it or if I ever have the desire to go back but yes 70 hours that includes me grinding leveling up the game has a casual mode in this definitive edition.

And so if I wanted to lower the difficulty and kind of play it like a, hey, I'm here for the story. I'm excuse me, we call it game journalist mode. Oh, yeah, exactly. We call it IGN mode. I could have done that and I was tempted a few times, especially because I was streaming and like, I got to the final boss and I was under-leveled for the final boss

and I'm like, oh, I just want to beat this game and see the final cut scene. But I committed to not doing that. I wanted to experience it in full because here's the thing. When I get that far in the game and I've already done so much grinding, I'm not about to switch to casual mode in the last five hours. It's like, no, I worked for this.

I'm going to, I'm going to, you know, reap the benefits of the work that I put into this. These hands are calloused because of what I've put into this. Yeah, exactly. So about 70 hours of game time here. All right, fantastic. I love the way the look of this remaster looks. I love all the updated assets and making things look super, super sharp. Blessing, tell me all about Xenelblade Chronicles.

Where are you at with it? It took you around 70 hours to beat. You didn't even get to do everything. Yeah. Give me kind of just top view thoughts and then we'll dive deeper into everything and then give me your official review score. The first like Xenobled kind of funny official review.

Yeah, it's kind of crazy to think about it. ZenoBlade Chronicles is an incredible video game. I would give it a 9 out of 10 on a kind of funny scale. And I did some internal debate whether or not I would even give like an 8.5 out of 10 to a 9 out of 10. I wouldn't go above a 9 necessarily.

There's enough there holding it back. There's a lot of bloat in the side quests and stuff like that. and like very intricate detail stuff that hold it down a bit that we can get into that I'm sure the later games probably tackle and fix a lot.

But when you're talking about what's great about this game and even amazing about this game, I am shocked. I am utterly shocked that this game originally came out on the Nintendo Wii. Reggie Fizamaze's Nintendo Wii

is what this game originally came out on. And when you play the Nintendo Switch 2 definitive edition, it's like, wait, really? this game is so vast the environments are I'm going to use the word again vast and beautifully rendered

in the art direction of these environments goes insane and then when we talk about the story and characters you know you talk about the monado being the sword that allows you to see the future I also was a bit surprised by that as I started the game because I'm like maybe I knew this in the back of my mind but actually now that I'm in the story

and experiencing the way in which the monado works this is really cool both on a story level, but then also on a gameplay mechanic level. What's up, Andy? What's his what's, uh, Mr. Samuel Hulk? What's his move set in Smash Bros? I didn't play much of him in Smash Bros. But I remember

him, if you press, I think it's Down B or something like that. Does the sword have like futuristic stuff? The sword will change. So the sword has symbols. The sword has different symbols that pertain to its different abilities. And so I remember in Smash, like you hit a button and you make the symbol change and that changes his ability. I don't remember if he does anything with like future. in the game.

But on the story side, some really cool shit going on. Do you know where Xenoblade Chronicles takes place, like the setting? No, I have no idea. Dude, it takes place on the surface of a Titan. Oh, shit. Yeah, so there's the Bionis, which is your home. Again, you're playing a Shulk in his crew. Yeah, it takes place on the Bionis, which is just a big, think like a Colossus.

Yeah, a Coloss or whatever, right? Right now you're running around the open world. this all is taking place on a giant. That giant, by honest, is interlocked in battle with another titan. The whole time? The whole time,

it's like frozen in battle. Like, if you zoom out, it's just two titans. They're moving hell of slow. They're not even moving. I think they're frozen. But like their swords, like they're fucking in,

in the middle of like a swing kind of thing and just frozen. But by honest, the big titan is interlocked in battle with another titan called mechonis. By honest, if you can tell by the name, kind of has like more...

bisexual. Exactly. Likes men and women. It likes two genders instead of one. But by honest, is more like bio-organical. And so when you look at the characters that are playing as,

Shulk and his crew, they all look like humans. Technically, they're called Homs. The classic nature versus machine. Exactly, right? And so Shulk is a HOM. Some of the characters you're playing as here are HOMs.

There's other races, but they all kind of H-O-M. Yeah, H-O-M. Homs. Yeah. They're all kind of made by bioorganic matter. Oh, is it like homunculus, maybe?

Oh. Is it maybe short for that or something? Oh, no, no. I never thought about that. But possibly. The Mechonis, from Mechonis, are these enemies that come in and attack Shulks village,

village, his community. And those enemies, you guessed it, are mecks. And I also didn't realize that the enemies in this game are just straight up sentient mecks that come through. and fuck shit up. Where are those mecks from?

They're from Mechonis, the more machine-like Titan being that exists in this world that the mecs live on. Barry, can you give me a photo of Bionis and Mechonis? Yeah, get them like,

see if you can find like a zoomed-out photo. It might even be on the box art, I forget. But those mechons come from Mechonis. They come through, they fuck up Shulks community, just straight up, like murder a bunch of people.

and then the mom and pop shops A lot of mom and pop shots Just like fucking shut down And as Shulk In your crew Yeah this is whoa Yeah dude It's fucking cool

And this isn't Chronicles X No Chronicles X I don't even know what happens Chronicles X This is an entirely different It's in the same series obviously

But different game But it turns into this revenge story Where Shulk His homie Ryan They're like All right we got to go back, we got to fuck up these Mekons. And that's where the story starts.

Sick. Yeah. And the story gets good. I don't want to get into spoilers or whatever. And we can tackle even more in the story there. From there, I want to transition to talk about gameplay a bit. Because in the description you read, they talk about real-time, strategic combat. One of the things that kept me from getting super into Xenobled Chronicles back in the day,

because I booted up Xenobled Chronicles once. Back when I was a wee kid, right? A wee lad. A wee lad. with the Nintendo Wii. I had two games. I had the last story, and I had Xenobledi Chronicles.

That there's a thing called Operation Rainfall, Andy, that I'll tell you about in a bit, because it's pertinent, it's pertinent to talking about Zeno Blade Chronicles. Okay. But, I'm talking about SEAL Team 6. Operation Rainfall plays a big role in this. Okay.

But Zena Blade and the last story kind of connected because of Operation Rainfall, but I had access to those two games, and I was like, let me try out Xenoblade and the combat being this auto attack sort of thing felt MMO-ish and I was like this isn't my thing and then I played last story instead which is funny because I think that also has an auto attack system but it just vived with me more so I beat the last story I'll get around to that later never got back to Zeno Blade Chronicles

because yeah the combat was a little bit off putting that's why I turned off Chronicles X tell you what let me tell you when we saw Gene Park singing its praises of like check out this other one because we know Gene Park loves the Xenoblaid Chronicles series yeah You and I both booted up Chronicles X on our Switch 2s. And I was like, this sounds awesome. A game that I missed, just completely not part of my past as a child or whatever. Let me play it. I was like, ugh, not working for me right now.

Let me go on to something else. Early on, I would say the combat was the biggest obstacle for me enjoying this game. After quite a few hours, it did click for me pretty well. What it comes down to is, yes, it's an auto attack system. Once we unlock more abilities, it starts to, come together in a way that actually makes it make a lot of sense. And maybe if you're somebody that plays a lot of MMOs, it might come easier.

I'm not an MMO person like that. And so a lot of how this combat system functions for me felt different, felt new to me. And getting into it, I think learning that the importance of how you operate in battles comes down to execution of your abilities and the positioning of your character. Very cool down based? Very cool down based.

But that started to make it. click for me because as you can see there's a UI at the bottom that shows all your different abilities. You are pressing your I believe it's the directional pad to tab between all those abilities. I wish I had a keyboard or something

I could play this with because I really needed hot keys sometimes for this but I'm tabbing between the different abilities. Some of the abilities hinge on what like hinge on where you're standing in relation to the enemy and so there's like a backstab ability

that is like oh you want to be standing behind the enemy do this then and then you'll do extra damage. Oh, this one is more of a side attack. So if you stand on the side of an enemy and then press this one, you'll do more damage. However, sometimes enemies might be locked onto you. And so if you're trying to move around them, they'll just magnetize and follow you.

So your party makeup now has to have somebody who's going to draw agro. That way, the enemy's paying attention to them. You can get behind them, you get to the side of them, do those sorts of things. Are you able to, under your own skill, evade an attack.

No. Okay. Unless they have like less accuracy or something. Exactly. That pertains to stats. Gotcha. But the combat system started to grow on me and then the more and more I unlocked more abilities and new characters and added them to my thing and then getting more equipment.

This game has so many menus and so much tinkering. And like... It sounds like a really hard game to stream. Like shout out to you to do that because I... This sounds like a tough one to kind of... It sounds like there's a lot to chew on there. And when you have chat also there and you're trying to entertain as well, it's like, it sounds like a lot to kind of wrestle with it.

I was scared to becoming Fray and Mirabella. You know what I mean? I didn't want to spend an hour of the stream just on in the menu. So that was another thing that I would do off stream. Before or after I'd finish streaming the game, I'll then go into the menus. And that's where I'm doing all the different, different tinkering. But it's a very tinkery game. And that actually really appealed to me.

And except for some places where it didn't appeal to me as much, which I can get to later. The last thing I'll touch on, because I'm giving my top level thoughts for a good 30. Yeah, that's all good. Another thing I'll touch on. I've been overrun to you like nine times. Is the overarching exploration in the world of the Bionis. Man, I'm so impressed and I understand now what makes Monolith bonolith and why Nintendo

looks at Monolith and goes, hey, we need your help for Zelda. We need your help for these other worlds that we're making because Xenoblate Chronicles has such a immaculately realized world. In the dock, I have a, I have highlighted a link here that's a link to my thread on Blue Sky. We're all just posting screenshots. Oh, one of my biggest complaints about this game, by the way,

no photo mode. It's fucked up. And like, people were in Chavez saying you could hide your UI, but like you can't do that until... Older game, you know, I kind of understand that. But like, you couldn't, you can't hide your UI in this game. It's in later Zeno Blade Chronicles. Oh, okay. And like...

That would be something nice to add just to a definitive edition. And that's what I think it's a definitive edition. Put a photo mode in here. This game is too beautiful to not have a photo mode. So this is a, that was a photo that I took just of the open world, right? One of the open zones here.

And I love that. You can see the other Titan in the background there. And if you all don't know ball and save your own sanity and protect your own mental health by staying off of social media, which I applaud you for, anytime a Pokemon game comes out, there are 30 Xenobled Chronicle screenshots underneath saying

Monolith made this look like this 10 years ago. Yes. How does do these Pokemon games still look so shitty when monolith was popping off over a decade ago? 100%. Yeah, Barrett, start tapping through some of these different ones because, yeah, it's just when I look at this world, look at how good the clouds look.

Yeah, this is fantastic. Look how good the clouds look. Look how detailed some of those rock formations look in the background. Like, let me see some more of them here. And that just all comes down to art direction. Like the shadows you are seeing on these environments are not a real-time sun creating a shadow. Yeah. That is all just, that's like making those sides of, it's like vertex shading.

That's like old school techniques of like, we don't have all the tech to make this shit look crazy. Let's use our ingenuity and our art direction to make this shit really sing. Like look how good these waterfalls look. Like look how beautiful this. And you're talking about art direction. I think one of the things I want to highlight is, you know, every now and then you get the rare open world game where it is I'm stopping it every moment to look around and take it all in.

And one of the most recent ones for me, it's been a few years since then. But like Eldon Ring, I think about that game and I think about how good the art direction is. The fidelity is great as well, right? But it's the art direction that really carries it, and that's really easy to point out because it's a modern game with so much budget behind it,

and it's on modern consoles and all these things. This is a game that originally came out on the Nintendo a week. It's a game that's now has a definitive edition, so it looks a bit better, right? But I'm looking at these environments and I'm looking at the art direction and how the placement of

the other Titan in the background, how good the clouds look and all these things, and I'm like, this is making me feel the way that I feel playing Eldon Ring, you know? Like, that's a modern video game. This game from 2010 is giving me those same feelings with how well realized its world is. That wonder, that awe. And so, there's so much I can talk about, right?

now. I can't wait to get to all of the rest of the stuff and have you gush about the rest of the video game, including the combat, the characters, the sex appeal. Yeah, I wrote down sex appeal as a bullet boy because we guys talk about it. The grinding and the hover bikes, but we will have to wait for a word for our sponsors.

But It really started in 2010, the Xenoblade Chronicles on the Wii. Yeah. And then the Wii you got Deenoblade Chronicles X. And then the Nintendo Switch got Chronicles 2,

Chronicles 3, including some definitive editions and things like that throughout the years. Going from 2015 all the way until present day. And then something else to sort of add to the legend of Monoliths off. and how Nintendo views them as kind of like their backbones right now.

Like they are so important to what Nintendo does. Not only were they developing all of those games, but 2013, or 2011, rather, helped development on Skyward Sword, Animal Crossing New Leaf, Animal Crossing New Leaf, Picman 3, Zelda, Link Between Worlds, Splatoon, Animal Crossing, Happy Home Designer, Legend of Delah, Breath of the Wild, Splatoon 2, Animal Crossing's New Horizons, Splatoon 3, Tears of the Kingdom,

Mario Kart World, Spatoon Raiders. Monolith's off, their DNA is everywhere in Nintendo right now. They are the mitochondria. They are the powerhouse of Nintendo. Absolutely. And we need, like, as somebody who hasn't even played this game, we just need them to continue

to kind of share their tech with everybody and say, like, here are ways to make things look really, really good and be efficient and not, you know, have the machine chug a whole bunch. So like, I, I just love how much, how obvious it is that they are just so incredibly useful. And we saw that message. Was it an official statement from them recently or was it from Nintendo? How they're working on Zelda? Of like, we're doing some big shit over here. We're like getting a lot more official in this relationship,

even though it's been very official already, but like, there's like those two friends that have been dating forever. Yeah, but it's like things are getting like all together for 10 years. We're gonna put a ring on it. See, I want to shout that out. You mentioned that Zeno Blade Chronicles originally comes out 2010 on the Nintendo Wii. What if I told you you didn't come out until 2012 in the US?

Oh! Because of Operation Rainfall. Oh, shit. Not to be confused with occupation rainfall, which is a 2020 Australian science fiction action film written and directed by Luke Spark, which is the sequel to the film Occupation. Okay.

Not that one. Not that one. That's a different occupation rainfall. I'm talking about Operator. Ration Rainfall. I'm going to read from the Wikipedia about it, but basically it's the story of how this game came to the West via fan outcry,

because Nintendo didn't want to put it out on the world. Oh. Yeah. So Operation Rainfall, commonly known as Op Rainfall, was a video game-oriented fan campaign found it to promote the release of games not available in North America,

initially aimed at promoting the North American release of three games on the aging Wii, only released in Japan and Europe. So one thing you'll notice as you play through Xenoblac Chronicles is that all the characters have British accents, and that's because it was localized to Europe with no plan to bring it to America.

Wow, okay. It later transitioned into a community blog dedicated to niche Japanese games and further fan campaigns aimed at localization of Japan exclusive games. From inception, it stated intention was to show publisher Nintendo the demand for the three chosen games. Beginning in 2011, it was designed as a push for the release of Xenoblate Chronicles,

The Last Story in Pandora's Tower. Three games released late in the lifespan of the Wii. Here are our demands. Here are our demands. The campaign was acknowledged by Nintendo, and though they initially announced that they had no plans, all three games were eventually released in North America, the former by Nintendo itself and the latter to buy X-Ced games.

Reception of the campaign has been favorable overall. But I wanted to give that quick thing there. Because, yeah, like fans seemingly are the reason why these games, And, like, I guess most notably Zeno Blaine Chronicles is available and it's popular in the West. You think that I haven't had no plan. Today, that. Probably not. Today, no.

Like, it reminds me, this is a very obscure and specific reference. But, like, I grew up a Lupe Fiasco fan. You know what I mean? And after he put out this album, The Cool, that's the one that had superstar on it. After he put out. Which one had kick push? That was Food and Liquor. Okay.

So that was his first album. His second album, The Cool. His third album, L-U-P-M-S-U-U-P-M. ended up not coming out, but he was working on this album Lasers for years and years and years, and his record label, Atlantic, didn't want it to come out for whatever reason.

He was having beef with the record label. Probably disagreements over the sound and song choices, but fans wanted lasers so bad that Anonymous stepped in and was threatening Atlantic, and they were like, fuck it, we're putting it out. Here's your album, damn. I don't want that. Yeah, yeah, we don't want to fuck with y'all.

You guys are fucking up our shit. We don't want you to get into our email servers. Yeah. So every now and then, fan fan of Akry can lead to a lasers and a Zemoblake Chronicles, two things that I love. I love that. Miguel Barrigan with a $2 SuperJat says, bless, please watch the Fire Emblem Direct. I don't want to spoil myself because I know I'm going to play Fire Emblem. Doug, like, here's a thing.

I have very little, at least historically, very little interest in Fire Emblem. There's something about this one where I'm like, ooh, yes. Yeah? Okay, maybe I'll check it out. No. No? I'm warning you to not watch it. Oh, really?

Because there is some shit in there that I, I, I, didn't even watch it yesterday, but I have learned from people who have been talking about it, some big shit where I'm like I would have liked to experience that while playing the game originally. I'll watch it and just forget about it anyway. I'm going to play it anyway, so like, yeah, I might

stay away from it. Yeah, we're sold on it. Jake Eisenman with a $2 SuperJat says Shilk and Clive should have a screaming contest. And Shulk do be screaming. A lot of these characters sure do have repetitive voice lines that they say a million times in combat,

this is a character named Ryan who's like your homeboy he's like your best friend basically in the game R Y N-E R-E-N-N okay yeah Ryan and I swear I got every 10 seconds he's like it's Ryan time and I'm like

hey that's good though that's good well you got a slogan like that you say it doesn't even it's good the first three doesn't rhyme though it's Ryan time it rhymes in that accent sounds like it yeah but like the M is he's playing with the language he's playing with the words you know you gotta stretch it out it's a stretch

all great positions do Jackie Lour with the $2 Superjohn says Does Shulk deserve his spot in smash? Oh, 100%. Wow. Yeah, 100%. And you have like a newfound respect for Shulk. I have a brain,

a newfound respect for Shulk. Tell me all about it. Tell me about the things that bothered you about your play through. Tell me about the sex appeal, the grinding, the side quests and bloat. Yeah. Okay.

So I'll start off. Let's start off with a bloat. Because if I'm talking, if I'm putting out, I think one of the bigger grifes I have with the game, the side quest system man is it filled with quests and activities that feel like they're there just to support game time and like padding out the open world and like giving you options to grind your XP so that you can be ready for the mainline story question what's up how much of give me a percentage on how much of the side quests you feel actually have consequences. Not like, I'm not saying like story, but like where it ends and you go,

that's a neat little story beat. I liked that. Oh, not many. Really? There's a few though. Like every now and then, I think the riding for the side quests is meant to give more flavor

than it is a core ingredient for like real like storytelling. You know what I mean? Like you'll meet a character that has a bunch of side quests for you. And every now and then you'll meet a character that's like, okay, this is fun. Okay, you have a thing here.

I can see the story that they're trying to stretch out over here. But it's never, it's rarely, damn, that was deep. I think there are probably some where if I seek out certain side quests that have to do with certain characters, I'm sure those ones get good. Like, I found one that had to do with

my boy Dunban, who's the coolest character in the party. Man, Dunban, he's the badass. He was the original wielder of the Monado. He was like, Damn, the OG Monato. It's actually really funny because I think back to it. And I'm like, the game starts off showing you this dude Dunban. Dunban, sexy looking man.

You know what I mean? He's doing flips and shit, athletic. And he's a man, man. And now you get to be a six-year-old. Exactly. A little Blom boy. He's like wielding the Monado. But the Monado's like hurting him because it's like, it's the chosen one store.

It's the Excalibur. And so it's like he can't really wield it, but he's wielding it anyway because it's the thing that's allowed him to kill all these megons. Now you get to play as a kid from the Dennis the Menace movie. And now they're like, plays this child. And I'm like, but what about him? What about Dunban? They bring Dunban back, which is great. Light spoilers, but not really.

But I forgot what I was talking about. Oh, there was a side quest that I found that pertained specifically to him. And I'm like, oh, this is cool. That is a very character-specific thing. I'm positive. There's more of those in the game. But I never even got around to finding much of them because there are so many side quests that are just straight up. There's two categories of sidequests.

Podcasts game. Podcasts, side quests for sure. There's two categories. There's side quests that are basically kill all these monsters. Like go around and just kill these specific monsters or find these items. They don't get you XP,

except for like the monsters that you kill getting you XP. Is there ever a... Get 10 wolf pelts, but they don't always drop? Yes. Okay. Yes, all the time.

Okay. And again, those won't get you XP. They'll get you money. They'll get you money, but they won't get you XP. Then there's the other type of side quests that are more story, side quests that will get you money, but they also do feel

fetch questy. Like they all, all the side quests feel in that fetch quest range. And I think part of that is the MMO design of the game. Yeah. This is a single player MMO, I think, in nature and the way that it's put together. And a lot of parts of that are really cool because I think since it's single player and there's a lot of TLC put it put into it, it kind of, they're able to kind of make it feel like a vast, world vast story sort of deal but then yeah you get to some of these side options

and it's like oh man I wish there was a bit more here from what I've heard the other games get better at that stuff so I can't wait to get to Xenoblate 2, 3 Genesis when that comes out and see how they do I'm gonna switch over to something I really like which is the combat I've already talked about it a little bit but I want to

shout out a few features because you mentioned the Monado the sword that lets you see into the future I kept calling it to that's so Raven sword because it legitimately is like when Raven, have you seen that's a Raven? Oh yeah. Yeah. It's like when Raven gets a vision.

Yeah. And it happens in a cutscene every now and then where Shulk will be chilling and then it's like, it's not literally like that. Coring the house is going to be the top rated game. It might as well be Raven from that. So Raven where you get a vision into the future and it comes back to Shulk and Shulk and Shook's like, oh. Oh, damn.

Okay. I got to do something. Usually though, I'm like that's a so Raven. Usually somebody dying. Usually it's the fate of a character. And it's like, shit, I got to do something about that. Right. So that's usually how that plays in the story.

And it's a really cool storytelling device. How it plays in the combat is one of the more unique things in the combat. Because you'll be in the middle of fighting an enemy, a boss or whatever. And then all of a sudden, the screen will shift. And it'll be like black and white. And you're seeing an enemy's future attack. And you're seeing when an enemy is about to kill one of your. one of your crew members.

Protect them. Yeah. And then it comes back to gameplay and you're like fuck, all right, the enemy's about to kill this person. What am I going to do about it? Am I going to heal them?

There is a system that I never fully understood if I'm being honest where if you use a certain... That happens in a lot of games to me too. This team has a lot of systems and some of them I'm like, I'm sure if I slow down

I can learn this but I'm doing good without it so it's fine. But if you use a certain color attack that goes against... Rock paper scissors. Yeah, rock paper scissors. If you use that, that color that goes against the boss's color, then it'll cancel out their attack.

Never fully understood it. Never really got the color combinations. Goated. I still beat the game. So I didn't need it fully. But that's another way that you can prevent things. You can also warn your characters if they're about to die. So like, you know, if a boss is about to kill somebody, I can go up to Dunban and be like,

yo, Dunban, use this ability to counteract the boss's ability. And so they give you options to protect your players. But I thought that was really neat. There's also a chain attack that is also very core to how the combat works, where once you fill up enough of your, I forget the actual name for it, but I'm going to call it the team meter. Like you have a meter at the top that's like your team ability. Once you fill that up, you then get the chain,

which is basically time stops, and you are picking abilities one at a time from each of your three party members that are in the fight. And it's kind of like a baton pass. Sick. All right, Shulk, you're going to use this attack and then it's Dunbans' turn And I'm like, are we getting like

Final Fantasy remake rebirth style like zoom in on him doing that cool move or you're kind of seeing it happen on the battlefield? You're seeing it happen actually on the battlefield. These are moves that you're always doing but now it's like you can chain a bunch of them together. So all right, Shulk did this, Dunban do this.

If you're choosing the same color ability, then the chain works as a multiplier where it does more damage. I don't know if this comment is true or not but Dylan Tortosa says green moves, red moves, blue moves, pink moves. Some red moves combo into pink moves, which combo into orange moves. Is that real or is that present lying? I'm sure they're accurate.

Great. Because the way I'm doing is like, well, red moves combo into red moves or multiply into or chain into red moves, I should say. Imagine being color blend? Oh, dude, I'm sure. I wouldn't be the same. But then you have like more neutral colors. They said I'm playing it right now.

I want to give the thumbs up to be like, They were telling the truth. Okay, cool, cool. But, yeah, basically you can multiply your attacks and do big damage on enemies. And so I really loved the chain there. And, like, the different, the different crew archetypes were great to play around with, too. Because, you know, you have a, I keep mentioning Dunban. Dunban's kind of tanky, a little bit.

Ryan, it's kind of tanky. But then you'll meet another character named Sharla. Let me tell you. Charla, she's basically just Anna from Overwatch. She's got it going on. She also has it going on. Nice. But like, and we can rank the hotness of the characters later.

But she has a sniper that also heals. Oh, me. Really sick. Really, really sick. So really, really enjoyed the party makeup here. Near the top of it, if you're hearing all of this and you're like me, you know, if you're in your car right now or listening to this podcast and you're like, all right, all this combat doesn't really sound like my thing.

But a thing that can push me through. maybe combat that I'm not fully 100% so super stoked on or whatever. Story twists, character reveals character back and forth, story moments, anything

like narrative related can get me through a game that I'm not one million percent sold on the gameplay of it. Yeah. And at the top of this you have Twist Go Buckwild. Tell me about these twists that go buckwild. The twists go Buckwild. I also do want to shout out Extreme in chat says Break Talk I think that's what that other person was talking about as far as how the colors go into each other.

Gotcha. Because you have a color that'll inflict break. If you have break on a character, you can flip topple. If you have topple, you can flip tappell. So I think that's what they were referring to, which that I do understand. That sounds like a cool tattoo to get to be like, if you know, you know, break couple days. If you know, break, topple days. Okay.

Story twists are hard to talk about. Of course. Because I don't want to spoil things. But yes. If you're going to gas up the narrative, now is the chance to be like, dude, this is an awesome story to experience. The story is an awesome story to experience. Before walking in here, I was trying to think of something to compare it to. And I think the best comparison I can give would be to say that, actually, no, that's not a good comparison.

Maybe it is for me. Okay, I'll speak personally with this. Persona 4, Golden. I love that game. One of my favorite video games ever, right? But I think the thing that carried that game is the characters more than the story. I love the cast of characters so much in Persona for Golden. Story's cool.

But like the characters are where it's... at. This game kind of has the inverse where I'm like, the characters are cool in this game. Don't give me wrong. I really did the characters, especially late game. They start to form bonds and connections where I'm like, I really fuck with that. But the story, the A to B to C, the twists and turns, oh man, like, you're cooking.

Are you getting big like plot moment or I think one thing that beast of reincarnation does, it's really cool, even though I don't love the story or like much of what it's doing. But whenever you end a chapter, just hit you with the black screen, chapter whatever three. Like, are you getting like, like, cool, little presentation things like that? Not cool presentation, things like that, but like pacing like that. Where the game is divided up into chapters. They don't explicitly tell you the chapters.

You'll only know because a cutscene will end. They'll be like, do you want to save? And then that'll be, that'll be the end of that chapter. But these chapters do end on really good moments. And there are so many things that happen where I'm like, oh, there's a different, there's a story event where now there's a different story now. Like, this game just changed because of what you just revealed to me. And that'll happen multiple times, your time, uh, playing this game. And like, even as I told you the premise of the story early on, like, I'm sure there are things

that you might think about as far as, okay, this is a story about two gigantic titans in the races that live within them going to war. What can you do with that, right? How can you extrapolate that into interesting themes? interesting, like, you know, what can that say about maybe nationality and the nature of war and the nature of allegiance and all these things? Like, they go into any sort of thing you think they can do with that concept. And it's really cool. Another thing I'll shout out is the, how they frame the journey in this game, because like I mentioned, it's kind of a revenge tale.

And so you, Shulk, your crew are traveling and like trying to figure out how to get to the mecca on and fuck them up, basically. And, as you're going through these chapters and getting further and further, you start off on like the, on the Bionis's leg, and then you'll discover a new area, it'll be like, all right,

you're on the hip. All right, now you're on the waist. Okay, now you're on the shoulder. Okay, now you're on the arm. Like,

and they'll visualize that in a way where I'm like, oh, this is pretty sick. That's awesome. I love that. Yeah. Um, so sex appeal. Yes.

Big next, big next bullet point. Big next bullet point is sex appeal. Here's the thing about sex appeal. appeal is that this game has hot characters, right? On the male side and on the men, women, everything, like, the little

no pawns. I'm not talking about the no pawns. I don't need to talk to you about the no pawns. No puns are a different race of character, but there's many of them that are hot. This game gets into the egregious area a little bit as far as the imbalance between the outfits

that the women wear versus the outfits that the men wear. And granted, I Do you want to shout out? They have like, they have swimsuit outfits that you can put on for the men. Nice. That you can put on for the men. For the women, like 90% of the outfits are like, how are we getting your titties out. You know what I mean?

How are we getting cheeks out? And I'm like, dog, I'm streaming this game. And I feel judged. Kind of embarrassing to have open. Yeah, where I'm like, guys, I promise you, I don't, like, this wasn't my choice for Sharla to be dressed this way. But you have a transmog where you can put on. certain outfits but have the benefits of like other outfit configurations because a lot of your

stats are equipment based. Um, so that is nice. However, even like the more, I guess like, one, I didn't, I didn't want to be, be in a place where I'm like, oh, I have to put conservative clothes on Charlotte because that's not even the thing, right? I'm like, Charlotte can have hot clothes, but I also want these other characters to have, like, I don't want it to be imbalanced. Yeah. I don't want her tinnies to be out. And then for Shulk to be in a winter puffer, she's looking around like, what? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so, I don't know.

I wish there was a bit more balanced choice as far as how I can dress these characters up. I heard that Xenoblake Chronicles 2 is way worse about it. Oh, nice. Yeah, which is funny because I don't even think, I say that as a complaint for Zendlake Chronicles 1, it never really got in the way. It's like, all right, cool, like whatever. I see what's happening here.

It's not like it's ruining the game by any means. You know what I mean? Zeno Blay Chronicles 2 sounds like it's about to be a distraction. And so. But a lot of people also gassing up the over. overall, like, our direction of Xenoblake Chronicles, too, and what they do, tech-wise, and visuals. Like, so many, when you were gassing up the visuals of Xenoblake Chronicles 1, a lot of people in the comments going, dude, wait until 2. Like, it seems like they push a lot of that stuff even further.

Yeah. Because you know, Bala says, it's called art design. If you want practical, just play Dark Souls. I don't, that doesn't really make sense. But, but, yeah, I was just say, Dark Tools has art design. Different video game. Yeah, I don't know what we're talking about here. But I will say.

great character like design as far as how the character models look and cool shit they do with them there's a character named Melia who's part of a like different race of characters and I love how that race of characters look. Barrett's brought up I'm sorry, what are you saying about Dark Souls?

Gwynnevere, Princess of Sunlight Well I mean, spoilers if you kill her she wasn't real it was just an illusion No! You were just supposed to be you were just a gooner. You were supposed to be like wow look at those Yeah. And like, you know, who among us have it.

Yeah. Illusioned by Gwendolyn. Crazy. I forget what I was saying. I was saying something. Oh, the character models. Like, I think all the characters look great, look cool. Dunban, like, that's the thing is, if I'm ranking hotness of characters, like,

Dunban's one of the hottest characters in the game. You know what I mean? Like, shout out my guy. You have characters like, like, again, Melia, who's part of a race of characters that have cool features to them, too. Ricky, who's a no pawn, who's like another thing. Like, I think there's a lot of cool shit that they're doing. with the character design at the same time.

So definitely want to shout that out. Very, very cool. Any final thoughts? Man, I've really been talking for that long. Hover bikes are in the definitive edition. They speed up a lot of the game. You unlock them early on in the game. They weren't in the original.

But basically, there are vehicles that you can spawn anywhere. And I'm talking anywhere, except for in combat. But outside of combat, like press R2 and L2, they just appear. Like, it's not like you hop on them. They just appear and you're on these vehicles and you zoom to the next thing. Nice.

Because there's a lot of big spaces that you're crossing. I'm sure there's a lot of OGs out of there that are like, man, you don't know how easy you have it. Oh, dude, as I was playing, some of the people were

shockingly anti- hover bike because they're like, they're like, oh, it's going to speed through too much of the thing. But as I'm playing, I'm like, thank God.

Yeah. Because I need to get all the way over there. And if I walked, it'd take like 40 seconds. But now I'm not like on the hover bike, it's like eight seconds I'm there. And you compound that over a lot of different traveling. This game,

this game, should have taken me over 80 hours to beat. Yeah. Shout out to the hover bike. He likes the hover bike. They also added a racing mode because they added the hover bikes. Now every level has like a Grand Prix that you can enter. Okay.

I did not mess with that. Oh, I messed with it a little bit. I did one race. Okay. It was like, okay, this is neat, but it's a weird addition to this video game. Like when Destiny added the sparrow racing or whatever. Yeah. Yeah.

So that's cool. I can talk about this game all day. That's really what it comes down to. Like, I don't know, my final thoughts here. You're at a nine out of ten. Like, I'm at a nine out of ten. My final thought is that as I was wrapping up this game, this game gave me the feeling that I want any RPG to give me. Where it felt like I had wrapped up a journey.

I was sad to put down the controller. The final cutscenes left me with emotions, both of, oh man, this is it. But then also of warmth. because I don't want to spoil anything where where the story goes, right? But I think they the ending made you feel good. The ending made me feel good

and they tie it up in a way that I felt very satisfied with this story and with this game. And so I'm happy to have played through Xenobledi Chronicles. Heck yeah. Jacob Bench with a $10 super chat. Thank you for your generosity, Jacob Bench.

So remember when you don't pay for the things you like, they go away forever. Jacob Bench says, bless, thanks for shining a light on Zeno Blade. The series is amazing. the other entries. I love you going back to older and more niche games and reviewing them. Yeah, of course. I mean,

I know all of us love going back to older games to certain extent, except for Greg. Old games old, you know what I mean? But, you know, it really comes down to time for a lot of us, and I think I, one, the fact that they released this as kind of like a new game

gave me more of an excuse to be like, all right, it's new, let's do it. Like, this new version of it. And then also, July not being that busy of a month, you know, end of June going into July. Maybe I, you know, I could have played Densatack if I wasn't playing Zeno Blay, but I'll get around to Dens. But you're also, you're also focusing on Delta Rune, right?

Yeah, but like I, for, I'm traveling for the next week. And so, and I'm bringing my Switch with me. And I got Dents Attack and Delta Rune. I feel like I can make a dent into both those games. Hell yeah. Kev O W. Stone says, give Andy a taste of the music of Zeno Blade. Oh, oh, that's another thing is the music is so great. What's a good track?

Oh We'll have Barrett look for it while I'm reading the rest of the Super Chat. I gotta find it myself because there is a track that I would recommend It's called like metal something

I'll find it He's gonna look for it, Chad Metal Face? No Oscar Navarro with a $5 super chat says now that you finish Zeno Blade 1

When do you think you'll move on A Zeno Blade 2? I think it'll be a while The rest of the year is so so light Exactly We have nothing else happened

in the rest of the year Mechanical rhythm, Barrett, is what is called, I believe. Yeah, mechanical rhythm. Here's the thing. My next Xenobledade game will likely be Xenobled Genesis. Because that'll come out. It'll be a new game. You know, that's out next year.

I don't want to over Xenoblade myself. And so going right into the next one would be tough, especially with all the other stuff we got going on right now.
