Xenoblade Chronicles 2/YMMV

These things about  are subjective - not everyone will agree with all of them.


 * Americans Hate Tingle: In the West is considered a good but nothing special JRPG, and even if the fandom is big, it often mocks the game for being too cliche. In Japan, a 2021 poll by TV Asahi with over 50,000 participants to determine Japan's favorite console game revealed Xenoblade 2 is more loved than every Persona game in its native country, a series whose every installment is basically considered a Sacred Cow in the West, small issues notwithstanding.
 * He Panned It, Now He Sucks: Youtube reviewer videogamedunkey professed a dislike of the game in his review, but what really generated hatred against him was, when discussing narrative in videogames in a review of Octopath Traveler, he put a short clip of this game where Bana is saying the Nopon's Character Tic "meh", saying it was the absolute bottom of videogame narrative. A Character Tic . A lot of people thought it was an overreaction, and then he proceeded to bash on the most basic JRPG elements like turn-based combat. So, while reviewing another game, he managed to attract negative attention of fans of this game.
 * Memetic Mutation:
 * Pyra drinking tea. That is often described to be filled with all the tears of people that complain about her Ms. Fanservice design.
 * The cutscene where Rex says he loves Nia and the rest of the party os often quoted and joked about, partly because.
 * "Japanese humor". An almost diary thread on 4chan's board /v/ where a hell of an awkward (and optional) cutscene involving Mythra and optional blade Kora dancing is constantly mocked and edited, often with the purpose of denigrating japanese videogames. Of course, it has gone on for so long that some users admit to find the scene kind of funny, or affirm that "always was".
