Jason Schreier may not have been a fan of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 but that shouldn’t stop any of you from enjoying this giant JRPG.

In a year full of triumphs for the spunky Switch, this massive role-playing game is a disappointment.”]
I have to confess, JRPGs just aren’t my thing. My teenage years were thoroughly wasted thanks to an obsession with Ragnarok Online. The incredibly grindy and incredibly cute Korean MMORPG has soured me to a lot of games. For whatever reason, I can’t unlink Ragnarok from JRPGs despite there being absolute no logical connection between the two.
I’m weird. Let’s move on.
Everything I’ve seen about the Xenoblade games makes me think that they tick all the right boxes for JRPG fans and this holds true for Xenoblade Chronicles 2. The combat looks solid, the music sounds good and the world seems interesting.
But what would I know?
Tell us what you think of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 in the comments and be kind to Jason, people are allowed to dislike things you like.
