This is a great Wii U game to have on disc as it is one of the largest games on the console (around 22 GB). The in-game world is massive, and due to the immense scale of the game, I find it highly unlikely that this game will be ported to the Switch like Tropical Freeze, Mario U, or Pikmin 3. All of the DLC for the game is just a series of free data packs that you can install to your Wii U's internal storage or external USB storage to speed up and reduce load times from the disc. I would say that only the first pack is really necessary, but the game does look and run noticeably better with all of the data packs installed, so it's a good option if you have the space available. The only annoyance I would point out is that the game tries to connect to Miiverse on every startup when the console is online, and since Miiverse is discontinued, the "Miiverse has ended" error text always appears, and this error text box can only be dismissed on the Gamepad's touchscreen only, which is a bit annoying to do if you're playing with the Wii U Pro Controller. Overall, I would say that Xenoblade Chronicles X is an excellent value (I paid around $25) for a massive open-world game that you won't find on any other console.Read full review

If you like anime then you'll love this game. The faces and actions are expressionless. The whole game takes hours upon hours just to get enough money to buy good things as you level up - a bigger problem being all the battles are THE SAME over and over. The music must be from a preteen's playlist, it's really hard to get into. The "help" die off so quickly making it even harder for you to get things you need by finishing a battle. The graphics are pretty good but movement is very choppy. I don't know why this game is going for so much money. Clearly, not a lot of money was put into creating it.

What a great game! So much to do and gameplay is really fun. All the options and missions make this game really addictive. The world is very unique and has some great scenic views with creative indigenous creatures. On the bad: Some of the cut scenes can be a little slow (too many pauses in between speaking), and I wish i could change the sound settings to turn down the music at times, but the game overall is great!

so this game is massive. The environment is full of beautiful landscapes and unique wildlife. It's truly a wonder to explore. The battle system is great too, full of different skills, techniques, team morale, and a fairly fast pace system to keep you on your toes. My only quarrel with the game is all the unnecessary bad language and overly sexualized outfits and character builds. Most parents will definitely not find it appropriate. I don't know why that needs to be in the game.

It’s a shame this came out on the Wii U since many people didn’t get to experience this game. I’m glad I’m able to play it now as it is a very good RPG. The graphics are gorgeous, the story is very interesting and the gameplay is a lot of fun and varied. If it comes out on the switch or a future system, I’ll probably get it depending on the price. Hard to be a current average price of $20, but I might just splurge to have it in a more convenient collection of games. It is worth it

I just bought the Wii U again for the second time just to play this game, the xenoblade chronicle series is now my favorite, huge maps with plenty of grinding and item farming, awesome graphics, compelling story and many different ways to build your character from the ground up the way you want, highly recommend if you are into the jrpg genre

Huge dangerous open world, lots of customization to choose from, game is non linear meaning you can choose how you explore the game, easily over 100+ hours of content. If you own a Wii U and love RPGs then this is a must have.

The game does have some odd and extensive conversations, but is overall a great addition to the limited library of RPGs for the Wii U. Graphics are great and battle system is relatively easy to learn.
