That looked very good. Xenoblade with mechs, which is good. It would be nice if Monolith can revise the battle UI to be more minimal without sacrificing usability.
Nothing mindblowing here though, partially due to this being raw unedited gameplay footage. The reveal trailer was more awe-inspiring.

I hope this will have Mitsuda music and many plottwists like in Xenogears. Hopefully the main character will be as dark as Fei and the villain will be epic as Grahf.

No point in you getting this game then lol. Battle system is usually always a huge part of any rpg....
I haven't played Xenoblade, but I really don't see the appeal.
Battle looks cluttered and an overall mess, with animations without any weight behind them. A d the huge open fields just evoke an MMO vibe where you're gonna be wandering around aimlessly hunting for shit.
I guess I should play Xenoblade to get it but idk

I thought Hiroyuki Sawano was handling the music?
Seems the majority of the music is by Hiroyuki Sawano, actually. He did Attack on Titan and Kill la Kill and lots of other anime scores.
This thread is just a goldmine of ugh.

The stuff you're able to notice is insane. Sounds like a really interesting risk vs. reward mechanic.

Yes, yes it is.

Ehh...they are entitled to their opinion. It would be nice if there could be another thread for those trying to break the battle system down.
The combat can be tiring after some time. Try switching out the leader. The characters play so differently that it can be refreshing playing with each one and switching when you get bored.
Onilink is far better than I am at it. But yes, the combat seems much deeper than at first glace.
There's lots of little things in it that really changes up the strategies. Something that Xenoblade lacked a lot of.
The direction and angle of attacks has much more influence on the damage you do. You can switch weapons on the fly for short and long range. There seems to be more elemental abilities for all characters. There also seems to be more than one Fever type ability that boosts damage.
Sure, people are entitled to their opinions. I never said otherwise. But I, in return, am entitled to discern the good ones from the bad ones.

Mechs are lame but if it's like Xenoblade, it should be gold.
No you pretty much got it.
Xenoblade was only hyped so much because Wii Stans had almost 0 JRPGs to play and so the few that came out were hyped to kingdom come. Only for them to be average JRPGs
lol
Its all coming together now.
Riki fight good!
Here we go. The "Wii owners couldn't recognize good games" rationale. You are obscenely obnoxious, you know that?
I think that, you are tying too hard with the troll baits.

And the character was doing more damage (~1000) striking the monster from 'Low' (under him), than even what the Mech was doing. (~600)
In your opinion to be fair because it's also possible and likely that people actually liked the game even if you didn't and it is deserving of high praise.

Had a DS, PSP, Wii, 360 and PS3 and thought it was one of the most entertaining games last gen.
Does anyone else think it doesn't look as pretty as they remember? Maybe it's just because so many gifs were posted about it, and those compress away so much detail all you see is the magical glowey bits and think the game must look amazing.
What I mean by this is the lighting and textures look more drab than I recall.

That footage is compressed as all get out. Nobody could make any kind of statement like that based off that mess.
I was actually thinking how pissed the director and programmers of the game must have been watching their game on the live stream. The stream looked like complete ass all the way through.

The environments in Xenoblad are breathtaking and exploring them was really a treat. But, on the flipside, there was a lot of wandering. Not cause you didn't have direction, but cause the environments were just so expansive. It sometimes felt like it took too long to get from one point to another. (Although you had a teleport feature so things were pretty streamlined for the most part.)
With all that said, it still felt like an off-line MMO much like FFXII. (Although with a more present plot, though that's not saying much. It's leaps below gears and saga in that department.) Considering how similar this looks to blade and how they've shown us nothing but combat and wandering over and over, I'm very much on the fence with this title.
Nope, it looks pretty much the same as the E3 trailer. It's just a horrible quality video. We got full, uncompressed, HD videos for the last trailers. We haven't for this one.
Typical comment from Kyon lol. Expect no better.
Xenoblade was a genuinely good game...even reviewers agreed.

That can either mean.....shit is unbalanced as fuck right now or weak points.
weak points hopefully

That's odd, because I owned a 360, PS3 and a good gaming PC as well, and there still weren't any good JRPGs last gen beyond the initial wave of like 2-3 from 2006 - 2009 until Xenoblade arrived.
Yes but I'm not worried, I think the final product will look fantastic. I hope during E3 they show us something more impressive. This seemed like some video put together on short notice.

It looks the same from E3 minus the UI overhaul. The video quality just extra crappy. I would have gone gif crazy by now otherwise.
Yeah, I found this odd. Nintendo yet to upload the video in their channel
lmao
Probably because it's not a proper trailer. Just gameplay. It's rare that they post those.
Hahaha get the fuck out of here

I liked Xenoblade and I spent most of Gen 7 on handhelds, so I certainly wasn't starving for any JRPG I could get my hands on. Thanks for trying to tell me why I enjoyed one of my favorite games from last gen though.

There seriously should be a seperate thread for all the downers on this one.
This game looks freaking amazing. Love that this more of the same with extras and a facelift. Xenoblade was my favourite JRPG and this looks to continue that legacy.
Loving the smoothed out combat system. Designs are so much better and the scope of this game is immense. Doubt we'd get a similar experience on the other consoles for the obvious haters on here.
