"Probably the best JRPG I've ever played"
I've been playing video games since the late 80's and of the thousands of games I've played I can probably say that Xenoblade Chronicles is within my top 10. The graphics, gameplay, soundtrack (especially the soundtrack) and presentation are all top notch. And the game is massive. Prepare to sink 120+ hours into this masterpiece.
If you're a fan of quality games, do yourself a favor and get your hands on Xenoblade Chronicles.

"Simply stunning"
Definetely the Best Wii game out so far, RPG anyway, not subjecting itself to the typical JRPG tropes, original setting, interesting characters, though the only thing I dislike the is the stupid fanservice (seriously japan, treat your female characters with more respect), but It is a simply stunning Game. Reccomend it to all Wii owners who love RPGs.
"Charming"
I haven't liked a JRPG since the SNES days. But this game took over my life for 2 weeks and I find myself wondering why.
The story is your typically poorly written JRPG tripe, but for the first time in a long time that didn't bother me and I found myself enjoying it immensely, I just found it so simply charming that I could ignore all the awkward dialog and moments and stereo-typical teen anime characters.
The music is gorgeous (I now own the soundtrack), The side quest keep you busy, the battles look great and keep you entertained, the world is so stunningly beautiful and huge I found myself just randomly running around enjoying it.
All in all, this is simply the best game the Wii released in 2011, I reckomend this to everyone, even people who typically don't like JRPGS.
I don't know why Nintendo were so reluctant to release this game in the west (especially since thier games have recently been subpar, and Metroid: Other M been pure garbage).
"Really, really good."
Like everyone else says – huge game and a real masterpiece. Surprisingly engaging story, great visuals throughout. Reminded me why I like video games, really drew me in!
"It's like Final Fantasy 12 meets Rogue Galaxy"
The story doesn't let you be with dozens of questions, just a feeling of plenitude. Even if some (playable or not) characters are not always completely original, you'll like most of them. Just remember that the game is pretty deep in every aspect and I played enough game to know what complete means. And I salute the developers for their work. Hoping to see a new one in the next years. Thanks Monolith Soft !
