Xenoblade Chronicles was my favorite game of 2012. I picked this game up at launch because of the hype I had read about it and wasn't sure if I'd enjoy the combat system or not. What really engaged me was how the story was full of twists that I didn't see coming and the simple yet complex combat. I also enjoyed the beautiful graphics and the size of the world. The game took me 70 hours just to finish the main story.
