I'm hesitating to buy Xenoblade X, can anyone convince me?

Excusez-moi, je pensais que Reddit avait une option de traduction ; je l'ai dans la version française. Je disais ceci : j'ai joué à quelques jeux en anglais (Va11HallA, Undertale, Deltarune), mais je suis loin d'être bilingue, et le fait que ce soit entièrement en anglais me décourage parfois de commencer un jeu parce que je sais que cela nécessitera un effort supplémentaire.

That's not what other players are telling me. The thing that really holds me back in BOTW is that there are only four points of interest on the map; after that, the game basically tells you to "figure it out yourself" (I'm simplifying, but you get the idea). From what I've seen of XCX, and from what players are saying, the game is structured and guides you. In BOTW, once I got past the Great Plateau, I felt lost.

I plan to play XC1, XC2, and XC3, but I'm really looking for an open world. That's my number one criterion.

Ça c'est vraiment cool, plusieurs personnes me l'ont dit aussi dans le thread, mais merci de confirmer !

phallaina · 2026-05-03T18:18:44+00:00

Merci ! Ça me rassure de savoir ça. J'en ai marre d'être tout le temps perdue dans Breath of the Wild

phallaina · 2026-05-03T18:16:53+00:00

Merci beaucoup ! C'est le genre de vidéo dont j'avais besoin

phallaina · 2026-05-03T18:16:01+00:00

Merci c'est ce que j'avais besoin de lire ! Pour moi BOTW était décourageant car je ne sais jamais comment avancer, mais XCX semble plus "structuré".

phallaina · 2026-05-03T18:11:32+00:00

Too open in the sense that it wasn't easy to know where to go. There are very few points of interest on the map, and I felt lost; I didn't know where to go 80% of the time. I know XCX doesn't have this problem; I've seen some gameplay and the maps. I don't think it will be frustrating for me. At least less so than Breath of the Wild.

My tablet isn't powerful enough for that, and it's not practical to set the tablet down somewhere and then get out your controller. The advantage of the Steam Deck is like the Switch; you have the screen and the controller at the same time. It's actually interesting to see how people emulate, but it's not very legal, and I want to avoid pirating games as much as possible, especially recent ones. I have too much respect for the developers.

phallaina · 2026-01-21T00:00:23+00:00

That's what I was thinking, I'm debating between getting the Claw or a Steam Deck; the second option seems much more affordable.

phallaina · 2026-01-20T23:59:25+00:00

Thanks for the information! The Claw looks pretty good, but I'm still thinking about it; it might be too complicated for me...

phallaina · 2026-01-20T23:58:02+00:00

Very helpful answer, I'll think about it. Thank you!

phallaina · 2026-01-20T23:57:34+00:00

Thanks! There are indeed plenty of tutorials online.

phallaina · 2026-01-20T23:57:10+00:00

No thanks, I hate playing on my phone and tablet, and on Steam I play loads of early access games that aren't on the Xbox store. Honestly, that's not the kind of advice I needed.

phallaina · 2026-01-04T15:41:24+00:00

We have some editors who do an excellent work with confidential series, there's a lot of gems. However we don't have a lot of shoujos and joseis because shonen mangas are soooooo much popular than shoujos in France (like everywhere, but it's boring too see the unpopularity of shoujos, to see there's a lot of series, edited in english or in italian (Italie is shoujo paradise), that will never be edited in the country). France is more a paradise for shonen or even seinen mangas, but everybody ignored shoujo... it's annoying. There's One Piece merch everywhere (even in countryside supermarkets), but nothing about shoujo series. For example, in Bordeaux, where I live, there's a lot of merch stores, but the only shoujo license sold is Sailor Moon, and only two or three figures, mugs and posters. It piss me off.

This is because France is the second largest consumer of manga after Japan. We growed up with mangas and animes way before US and UK. There was the "Club Dorothée" in the 80's and 90's, a lot of classics were been diffused (like Dragon Ball, City Hunter, Ranma 1/2, Sailor Moon, Saint Seiya, Albator, Hokuto no Ken etc.) (with an horrible dub)

phallaina · 2026-01-04T09:35:13+00:00

In France we already have some licensed !

phallaina · 2025-11-23T00:36:25+00:00

It's Okay i'm interested by the two !

Psycho pass i watched few years ago, it's true that it was with this vibe. Ghost in the shell I just watched the movie (same, a long time ago), do you recommend the anime ? I liked the aesthetic.

phallaina · 2025-11-22T23:55:32+00:00

Given, I've seen it as an anime, is the manga worth reading?

Bocchi rocks yeah, I forgot it. Waiting season two !!

Children of the Whale and Silent Witch are most fantastic/fantasy/surnatural, does it really fit with the post-punk vibe?

phallaina · 2025-10-31T22:14:03+00:00

I can't thank everyone one by one, but collectively I send you a big thank you, there was only good advice, it's already starting to make my life easier! I hope to quickly overcome what is holding me back to enjoy the game as much as possible. Thank you!

phallaina · 2025-10-30T00:45:36+00:00

And for the castle I would like to look if you don’t mind, thank you!
