Xenoblade has been a breeze up until about the last quarter of the game, and I have died many times throughout. TBH I think there is alot of things I havent tried with my characters arts and abilities that probably could have saved my ass in those situations, but there is so much customization in the game and so many ways to spec your characters, I guess I got lazy and didnt feel like putting forth the effort to re-spec them for every boss battle to make it a breeze. What would have been really cool in this game would have been a "scan" art on enemies, that way you could find out its weaknesses and exploit them, because if im not hunting around on the internet for the answers, you are basically going in blind.

Xenoblade has very simple rules: if your level is equal or higher, the battle will be won even on autopilot; if the level difference is between 1-5, you can look at the screen from time to time; if the level difference is between 5-10, you should think about what you're doing; if the level difference is 10 and up, you will miss every attack (unless you're buffed like mad, with the best equipment and with special skills, and even then you will miss a lot).

Even RPGamer agrees with me that Xenoblade lacks challenge and would use scaling enemies and HARD mode.

As much as I didn't enjoy Xenoblade as a whole package, I'm happy Nintendo sponsored it. JRPG is my favourite gaming genre and I am happy to see more of JRPGs in these hard times, even if the quality isn't up to the standards from the past (at least they bring hope for a better future).

Well, if anything, at least the popularity of Xenoblade will mean we shall see even more games from Monolith Soft in the future, that may be more to your tastes? They're good at creating new IPs a lot. I'd like to see a tactical RPG from them, don't think they've tackled that side of RPGs yet.

EDIT:

Sakaguchi's epic new (iOS) game:

I actually take the time to read their reviews carefully. They have a great team that writes some of the best JRPG reviews on the net. You just need to look for the editor ones, not the fan crap that's being submitted to them.

Exactly what I meant by hopes of a better future.

I'll pretend I didn't see that epic game from Sakaguchi.

RPGamer I used to like alot, but I quit their forums years back because the mods were douche bags, and one of the tame mods actually messaged me on AIM trying to get me to return on behalf of the forums and I was like no way in hell after being trolled not only in threads but in PMs BY THE MODS. Thats not the real reason they arent that great anymore though, they desperately need to update their site layout, its structure is as I have always remembered it from about 10 years ago with small changes. They have ok RPG reviews, and their news is sometimes late, sometimes you will hear last weeks news today, or even further back than that, and then sometimes its current to that week. They have ALOT of information though in there database about RPGs, major and obscure so thats always a plus.

160 hours 160 FUCKING HOURS!!! I am on the last item to collect for Colony 6 and its done. I am in the last dungeon and these enemies are fucking bitches, I still have tons of quests to finish too... which I may or may not complete. These self destructing nebula's in the last dungeon are really starting to piss me off you whittle them down to little HP and BOOM and you get no chest with the collectable items needed for Colony 6, the last one I went up against I could only kill one every 7 or 8 attempts without it self destructing on me... atleast I only needed 2 of that item.

Edit I just looked..homebrew says I played it total of 53 days so almost 1300 hours

It doesn't matter you have to choose. You can get 100% no matter what. You had to miss some NPCs, or you didn't talk with somebody for a long time.
