Legendary Game in Xenoblade Chronicles!

I procured my copy of Xenoblade Chronicles last year and since then have been fully entertained by its solid storyline rife with sci-fi and philosophical themes, true to Takahashi’s form, a bevy of interesting characters who deftly defy the JRPG clichés, a great battle system, which when in full flow made for some really amazing battles especially the boss battles where usage of strategy and tactics is paramount along with some new wrinkles to the JRPG mechanics. Add all this with a HUGE game world to explore! It was bewildering at first because of the incredible amount of exploration on a fantastically realized game world and by the time I prepared myself for the last section of the game I could not help but be amazed at Tetsuya Takahashi's labor of love.

So last night I manned up to the incredibly challenging last boss, and after 'trying' to kill it for the umpteenth time: read: 6 times, I got myself a save file from GameFaqs, uploaded it on my Wii internal hard drive and went on to kick the last boss's butt! What happened after that was truly epic! I was greeted with one of finest ending in a JRPG!

The ending inspired varying degrees of emotions from sense of achievement that I had beaten the game (so what if I cheated right at the end, I played 98% of the game properly), to being awe-inspired at what transpired in the end and then being melancholic and sad as the credits started to roll and I said farewell to Shulk and his gang after spending 68 hours   finishing the game!

Xenoblade Chronicles is easily one of the best RPG experience this generation! Although it was on inferior console but this game should rank amongst the best of the RPG genre in the last 6 years. Yes it competes as an equal with the heavy hitters like Skyrim, Mass Effect to Valkyria Chronicles and Tales of Vesperia. Personally I rank Xenoblade Chronicles in my top 10 RPGS of all time. This indeed is a legend of a game!
