Xenoblade
Xenoblade Chronicles marked a huge step forward for JRPGs, as the game updated many stagnant mechanics and tropes that had come to characterize the genre. The gameworld is enormous and Xenoblade’s constant emphasis is on exploring it, and players can generally can go anywhere they can see in the lush environments. Add to that a likeable cast of well-acted characters, a fun and action-based combat system, and an epic and original story, and you’ve got the makings of a true classic.
