Ohh... Don't worry, I wouldn't go that far with Chrono Trigger hehe. I find Trails in the Sky SC to be better than Chrono Trigger anyway. In fact there are more games I hold higher in esteem than Chrono Trigger, but Xenoblade Chronices 1 is not one of them. I mean, I don't need Chrono Trigger to be one of the best games, but sadly not many games these days do well. Chrono Trigger just serves as a comparison. I do agree Chrono Trigger is getting a bit too old by today's standards and I gladly love to see more games being able to live up to the game.
Ocarina of Time was to be considered my favorite game of all time... Until Breath of the Wild showed up.
But yeah, I am a sucker for RPGs, especially JPRGs.
Sure, I never said Xenoblade Chronicles 1 was not worth it. I had a blast playing it, I still run it occasionally to see how well it does on Dolphin. There are just many more games which were better throughout generations of gaming. And I certainly believe the critical acclaim was valid, but I believe that critical acclaim is too easily earned these days *stares at The Last of Us*.
Maybe it is just me yearning for something more being a true game at it's core and being less of a cinematic movie.
But come on, seriously. A Link to the Past is still one of the best Zelda out there, and Link's Awakening as well. I still run them from time to time and still remain fun... More than most modern games these days... Which lack soul.
Let me know once you completed Octopath Traveler and if it is indeed better than XBC2.
