One moment you might be listening to one of the main members of Rex's crew telling one of the world's most powerful beings she should act like a "blushy-crushy" maid that "every man is looking for " the next, you'll be sitting through intentionally awkward shots of that same character's chest.
And make no mistake: for all of the heady philosophy bandied about regarding the nature of Blades and their human hosts, called Drivers, and the worry about dying Titans, there's still plenty of cringeworthy Japanese RPG inanity tossed into the mix. When they do, as in the case of one cocky combatant who called himself "The Zekenator," it's usually for humorous effect.
It's a measure of how well Xenoblade Chronicles 2 handles its content that these fights rarely feel repetitive, as new twists are usually introduced each time. “Naturally, some bad folks want the power of Rex's unique Blade for themselves, and that vendetta quickly leads Xenoblade Chronicles 2 to slip into a routine of fighting the same bosses over and over, albeit in different situations. (For purists, a Japanese language pack is available for download at launch.) It's not long, though, before Rex finds himself permanently bound in a symbiotic relationship with a sentient living weapon known as a Blade – one of the most powerful his world has ever known. His boundless optimism somehow never gets annoying, perhaps thanks in part to the excellent English voice acting for him and virtually every character in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Much like Xenoblade Chronicles 2 itself, they grow more interesting the further you venture inside them.You see most of this through the eyes of Rex, a young man initially found making his living by sifting through the junk of dead civilizations on the ocean floor. It’s but one of the massive living Titans that serve as floating islands or continents and home to the citizens of the ocean world of Alrest and the setting of this impressively large role-playing game. Yet, after dozens of hours of Xenoblade Chronicles 2, I've fallen in love with the kingdom of Uraya’s vibrantly colored forests and cascading, strangely tinted waterfalls. Not so long ago I would’ve balked at the idea of living inside a stomach.
