All of this is executed by removing the trivial and mundane aspects of JRPGs. There is plenty to explore, side missions to accomplish, intriguing dialogue to be had, and dungeons to conquer.

Throughout the game, you'll adopt the genre's new lease on life by taking Xenoblade Chronicles at your own pace.

Its unconventional open-world, real-time battle system, and exciting plot shake the foundations of the genre. Not one moment will you feel like Xenoblade Chronicles is another JRPG grind. The world, character models, art style, and story are simply excellent. The fascinating narrative is set on a dormant robot titan where nature and civilization have spread around its body.

Xenoblade Chronicles adopts all those traits - but doesn't at the same time. An elaborate backstory, complex narrative, engaging characters, linear progression, and a turn-based combat system tweaked just enough to fend off accusations of skinning another game. We all know what the versed features of JRPGs are, having played them for generations.
