First Session

I started playing Xenoblade Chronicles last night. The friend I borrowed it from wanted to know how I was getting on so suggested I blog my progress.

I intended to play an hour or so, thinking I might need up to 2 hours to really get started. I ended after 2h 59m!

I don't have all that much experience with RPGs so I wasn't sure what I would make of Xenoblade Chronicles. So far I've been bombarded with tutorials - and as my wife pointed out "You seem to have spent most of the game in the menus". But I seem to be getting the hang of it never the less.

I like that you don't have to engage in combat if you don't want to (most of the time) and that you don't lose progress if you lose a battle.

Party: Shulk, Reyn, Fiora
