Shulk is infinite times better in Xenoblade than he is in Smash, and he's not even the coolest character in the game. I'd say who it is, but it's spoilers (and no, it's not Seven). Xenoblade's story is amazing, and as for the music, what would you say if I told you that Bionis' leg (gaur plains) is actually one of the worst songs in the game, which is how good the overall soundtrack is (Sakurai kinda did a terrible job of choosing songs from Xenoblade, I mean, seriously, he put in Mechanical Rhythm over Unfinished Battle or Tragic Decision???). The final boss music (there's quite a few scenes that you might think are the final boss when you play them, but you'll know the true final boss when you reach it. Oh yeah, you're not playing it, are you?) is my favourite final boss music in any video game ever, and I've played a lot of video games. The gameplay is incredibly difficult to get into if you don't know what to expect (I watched a LP of the first hour before playing just to get my head around it), because while t starts simple, more complicated systems open up. The world is utterly amazing, and Sakurai again did a bad job of choosing a stage, putting in Bionis Leg over places such as Colony 9, Prison Island, Sword Valley, or Agniratha missing out both the stage potential and the amazing music that goes with them (ok, maybe not sword valley, but the rest have awesome music). The story is one of the best stories in fantasy as a whole, because while it may start generic, it becomes so much more, and the plot-twist near the end rivals Danganronpa 2 in the "best plot-twists in a game" category. If you still don't want to play Xenoblade, get out of this thread. You can get it for only $26 on the Wii U eShop, which is an amazing deal considering how rare a physical copy is.
