Gaming Xenoblade Chronicles appreciation/Xenoblade Chronicles 2 hype Thread

You should definitely play xenoblade 1
we don't know if 2 will be good for sure yet but 1 definitely is

Neither Wii nor n3DS to play it on (not to mention not being able to emulate it).
Haven't played that much of Xeno2 but so far I really like it.

that's a thing I would have requested : having the map opened directly to the one you are located, instead of having to select the region and map yourself!
I don't know if they had user's complain or they just thought about it after 5 years of development..

not sure what the "1:1 zoom" is for the minimap. Maybe it will display the full map full screen, that's also very good. no need to check the travel menu to see where we are located.

I also wish there were a button mapping setting, to switch + and X (I prefer inventory set to X, most RPG use that setup and I access the menu more than the map)

The UI would be play tested but as soon as it is functional they don't bother with it even if they spend 10 years on development it would not take more then a couple of weeks to do it ...
Yeah the minimap function would be better if it displayed the whole map as an option.
