Hey everyone, I just wanted to let you all know that an update was pushed for Xenoblade Chronicles 2 that has significantly altered sections of my review.
The embargo lifts in under 3 hours and 30 minutes (Midnight December 1st Australian EST) and it's highly likely that most reviews will be relaying nitpicks, concerns, or issues related to the UI and it's features that no longer exist.
There was also an Events Theater added to the main menu in ver 1.1.0 which lets you replay cutscenes from the main story, major sidequests, and the summoning movies for blades.
I had an entire section dedicated to minor annoyances I had with the UI which are now largely 100% gone, and the initial omission of a theater was a significant concern for such a story driven game.
I can't go into all the details prior to the embargo lifting because certain UI aspects are forbidden to talk about, but I am currently amending my video review to include the significant changes and upgrades the game just got.
Just keep in mind that some reviews you may read in a few hours could have some outdated info regarding the UI and menus in general.
