Xenoblade Chronicles 3D
After going through a good deal of grinding to maximise the affinities of every character (to be able to view all the Heart-to-Hearts) and completing the available quests, I decided to continue on with the final battle, which consists of a final round of plot revelations and twists! The cutscenes play out as though the battles are tough, but because I overlevelled, the final battles came and gone quickly. It almost feels anticlimatic mainly because there are some nice tunes that didn't get to fully play out.
Now, I shall focus on Team Kirby: Clash Deluxe, where I unlocked the final battle, and all I need to do is to finish it before declaring that game complete. The best part is, I never spent any money on this game, and yet I got the Platinum Beam gear, which I found to be the most desirable because its time-stopping abilities are unparalleled in a game where completion time determines the Platinum rank. So far I got Platinum on 36 levels, 1 bronze and the rest are gold, not counting the final battle.
Thank you for reading.

I found the story to be rather intriguing. Really liked how each element plays out where the big picture isn't revealed until every thing comes into place. Alvis' identity is really well-played, because he's mysterious and his allegiance isn't clear, but good to know that he's the good guy only because I get the sense that he helped out Shulk and the gang in the most genuine fashion. In retrospect, it's hard to know how much of genuine help Dickson actually did, only because it can feel like his actions are basically to resurrect Zanza.
It's also crazy how the final area of the game is travelling through space, and meeting some of the people (in spirit) that were defeated along the way, with their identities shown. Mumkhar, Xord and Gadolt are on the way, along with some random Telethia? I get the sense that they are there because it's based on Zanza's memories of them. I do wonder why Egil isn't part of this, but I guess Zanza isn't too keen on Egil?
And then, there's the final battle, where the True Monado is revealed to be Alvis all along, which basically makes Alvis like the true god and not Zanza,
despite the latter being pretty powerful. Somehow, learning about the genesis of the world of Xenoblade makes the whole thing seem like an illusion,
because having the universe destroyed and then having the world developed into two titans (based on two scientists) made me feel like our world is not that big. Basically I am in awe at how the world of Xenoblade is being created.
With the game done, I feel better because it's a long game, and completing a long game is an accomplishment itself. Too bad picking stuff for New Game Plus is an incredibly tedious process (basically you have to individually choose the items to be carried over).
