Oh Monster Hunter World what a disappointment you were to me and this monster is no exception.

I do like the ghostly/alien look Xeno has it looks nice, even if it does stick out even more then Duremudira which can be considered both a good and bad thing depending on how much you care about "realism" in this series, at the same time though there isn't that much that's special or interesting about how the thing looks besides it's fake eyes, wings, and it's semi transparent skin. I like the look of it's armor especially the Alpha Female Set, but it's weapons are pretty bad looking since almost all of them are just Nergigante's weapons except with the ghostly veils replacing the spikes and different colors.

The ecology REALLY annoys me though, I will never understand what people are talking about by going "World is the most realistic Monster Hunter game ever" when the whole Bio-Energy plot point exists. But pet peeves with the community aside the ecology for this monster is fairly interesting (not enough to make me want to go and fight it again but it does it's job.)

The fight itself is meh, nothing really special about Xeno'Jiiva whatsoever in the gameplay department. And whatever you do don't fight this thing in multiplayer, then again that idea applies to almost every monster in World anyway. I'll take almost any other collosal monster over this thing (besides Zorah-Magdaros.)

The music is okay. I'll gladly take it over the OG Black Fatalis theme but that isn't saying much.
