Nothing happened.
Hopefully we don't get a repeat of the last gameplay thread where everyone was confused that it played like Xenoblade.
The former based on this trailer. A story-heavy game with a customizable character is still possible.
Hype deflated.
This needs to be like Bioware's games when you can only change 1st name, and the story revolves around his title/last name.
Absolutely nothing. But I'm under the impression that something might've happened to the eyes of the people who think there was any sort of downgrade.
Yup. This looks amazing.

Will probably turn out like 3D World. First you hate it and then you love it and beg forgiveness for hating it in the first place or denying you ever hated it because you clearly knew it wasn't that bad in the first place.
Erm Mass Effect had a completely customisable main character.

Apparently so.
Haters can piss off, im so hyped for this. It's why I wanted a Wii U... well along with everything else awesome about it.

That story trailer totally reminds me of the opening to Xenogears. Xenogears Episode 1 confirmed?
It's funny. Years ago back while they were making the first Xenosaga game I recall an interview by Takahashi that mentioned how hard it was to translate Tanaka's work to 3D models. Almost 15 years later and things really haven't changed at all in that regard.
The girl in the trailer is wearing Monado themed hairclips, so probably not. Probably a direct or indirect sequel to Xenoblade.

Did anybody else get massively disappointed when this trailer started? I legit thought it was Metroid. With that Sunday mass soundtrack I was getting goosebumps. Damn.

oh now that i think of it, you're right. I didn't play Xenoblade in JP tho because I had already gotten used to the ENG voices when I found out there was a dual track. Oh well, I need to play it again anyway.
Everyone who hates the graphics in this thread are fools. Game still looks great, and if you liked Xenoblade there's a fantastic chance you'll like this too.

Well strange, when Sony shows a CGI Uncharted teaser and ND says targeting 1080p 60fps (hint: might not reach that goal!) everyone screams best looking ever.
Xenoblade X shows a trailer with more story/character content and everyone sees downgrades.
Could you fanbo... erm i mean experts show me the downgrades? I'd love to seem them in the little videobox the streams were showing it in...

I know we all knew custom characters were coming, but I don't have to like it.
I like having a standard face for the main character that everyone shares and can recongise for RPGs, like shulk or vyse.
It just seems harder to associate a characterisation with a person that could be well...anyone.

I agree with that Linkstrikesback.
This. Can't freaking wait! Looks fantastic.
Haha.
Completely agree. Please be a fully defined, active, fully voiced character that talks and really takes part in things properly, and everything, unlike in White Knight Chronicles.
Same here, the wait's going to be tough but so excited for this!

Nyeeeee I see SOME people don't remember what E32009 Monado looked like before they shipped Final Product.
The final release looks so much better.
Not sure if serious

I really do wonder if people have any idea what Xenosaga was meant to be a "reimagining" of when it was first shown off and all the dev talk was going around.
I was worried about the character designs as soon as Tanaka's name was dropped at the initial reveal, so I was prepared. The game still looks fucking awesome though. I don't see a downgrade - just like in Xenoblades, Monolith pumps everything in the environments and scale over detailed character models, which is totally fine in my opinion. Either way, I'll be there day one.

Yeah. All the other previews on the game didn't show the models up close, but the models here are true to form to the monstrosities from its predecessor. The game itself looks hype though - I really should finish Xenoblade.
I've never played any Xenoblade or anything so I might be talking crap, but this trailer gives me a whoooooooole different vibe than the awesome gameplay footage from a few months back. Looks like two very different games in my opinion. Not to mention the seemingly graphical downgrade. Like I said, might have to do with my lack of Xeno knowledge, but that's what I noticed.

Can we talk about Sawano?
Only the protagonist is customizable. It's essentially like Mass Effect.
It makes the title sound weird and unwieldy in English, especially now that they tacked something else to the end.
"Players can customize everything about the main character’s appearance, including gender, shapes, height, skin color, voice and tattoos."

The customization is just for one character. Not the cast.
I think we need a separate discussion thread, because this isn't going to stop. :/
I don't think that must be true. You can customize your Character in Mass Effect and still everybody would know who it is if i post a picture of Shepard.

Am I crazy?
I was totally unimpressed with the graphics for past trailers for this game (not the performance or draw distance, but the graphics themselves). With this trailer my very first reaction was "Wow that's a good looking game!"
What the hell are you guys looking at that the graphics were apparently downgraded so much that it dominates the discussion? It still looks awesome to me.

I have a theory about this. I'm not going to spoiler tag because the game has been out a few years and i assume most people in this thread have played it.
So at the end of Xenoblade, Shulk beats Zanza and becomes like a God, and then wishes for a world without Gods and Alvis (the Monado) grants his wish and then we see the world with the Titans sunk into the ocean. Fast forward to this game and we hear the Humans say they lost Earth and took forever to find this planet, which is probably the planet that Xenoblade 1 took place on, which could be evidenced by the fact that the planet is largely blue and we see the mechs flying over vast expanses of oceans. Not to mention the fact that we see another Nopon like Riki was. I would say its probably a sequel that takes place in the distant future from when Xenoblade ended.
Top to bottom this whole post is terrible.

Yes, me too for the first few seconds.

What are these downgrades people are speaking of. Its the same game! We saw raw gameplay footage of it back in the February Direct and it has the same character designs there as well. The faces could use work but nothing has changed since the reveal.

It's just the faces.
