1) Xenoblade Chronicles – 480 quests
Just as surprised as we were to discover the magnitude of Xenoblade Chronicles X’s open world, the incredible volume of quests in the preceding title is a stunning revelation. Nintendo’s Wii and Wii U console’s might have been handicapped for power versus their rivals, but that hasn’t seemed to impact developer Monolith Soft’s ability to create games with breathtaking scale.
Xenoblade’s quests vary from delivering letters in fetch quests to numerous monster encounters across both the Bionis and Mechonis locations. Indeed, in typically grind-heavy JRPG fashion, combat missions/challenges do comprise a significant portion of quests.
Regardless of the fact that Xenoblade Chronicles might not feature the freedom of open world as in Skyrim or the narrative finesse of The Witcher 3, but purely with respect to the number of objectives, it is a tour de force of the games industry.
