As long as no RieKugi, I'm fine.
Xenoblade X (Cross) releasing in 2015 (Xenoblade Chronicles X in the US)

I like it and am totally fine with it. not a detriment at all. That said, I'm open to both and have trust that the direction & story will be fine no matter the choice to go with silent or characterized.
I didn't like Shulk as much either, so maybe that helps.
That kind of thing is what made my view on the player-created character shoot up to vastly "in favor of it." Watching the stream, seeing the character be a purple-haired space Rihanna but with a male name, then the high pitched Japanese female voice, all made me ready to cast aside Shulk in favor of this.

Looking at the Class list so far for the main character we have
Drifter
Assault
- Samurai Gun
-- (Unknown)
- Shield Battler
-- Heavy Striker
Command
- Sword Fang
-- FullMetal Jaguar
- Long Lancer
-- Star Crusader
Forcer
- Psy Seeker
-- Elite Planner
- Blast Fencer
-- Galaxy Knight
They said the names aren't final so they might be different in the full version. Apparently every character is supposed to have their own set so I'm not sure if it means some are shared or not.
Yeah, just from those small tidbits I can already tell I'm going to spend a lot of time making my character.

Never heard of the composer. I hope the music turns out good

I posted a couple of his tracks earlier.
Until today, I didn't know a decent number of people disliked his music. The Attack on Titan OST seems to be one of the few things about the show people generally agree on liking in the off-topic section.
How could you hate Shimomura this much?! She da best
This man knows his shit:
-----
To clarify, I don't exactly dislike Sawano, just what I've heard has been pretty mediocre. Nothing memorable.
But to each his own!
Hang on, there's recovery arts in this video. Why did the Treehouse guy say the only way to recover was with Soul Voice?

I feel that Sawano's track are either overly grandiose or pretty one-dimensional in tone.
I'm not quite sure how his music will sound like in Xenoblade X's Satorl Marsh/Valak Mountain areas, though it may just fit better due to movement speed getting an upgrade with the dashing and the mechs.

The recovery arts only work on you/the character your using. Soul Voice is the only way to recover team-mates who don't have recovery skills of their own.
I'm not sure why anyone's complaining about the music. If a track isn't how Takahashi wants it to sound he'll send it right back and tell Sawano how he wants it changed, same as he did with Xenoblades music.
I think it's more a vocal minority than anything.
From what I have seen, I love everything and I know that the game will only get more polish before its release. If it is even a 10th as good as Xenoblade, I will be more than happy. Plus, I am a big sucker for character customization and I can't wait to dig in and see what character I can build.
Only negative, it comes out next year, but I am fine with that. Nintendo already has me wanting three games before the end of the year, so I can afford the wait.

The music in the gameplay certainly hasn't grabbed me yet, certainly not the battle music with vocals. But the song used in the very first trailer was absolutely AWESOME. And the vocal song forlast years E3 trailer wasn't half bad either, though I don't really usually like vocal stuff, so I'm hoping there isn't too much of it.
What an odd thing to say. Of course Takahashi will decide which kind of direction he wants the songs to go, but he can't do anything about the composer's style. If you don't like how Sawano songs sound, no amount of directing or interference or whatever from Takahashi will make them better.
It's a weird thing though. I don't know what it is about Shimomura's songs, but I usually recognize them, like without even knowing why. Sometimes I just go "this sounds like something Shimomura would compose" and check the game's wikipedia page and lo and behold, it is her.

Took a screenshot from the second gameplay-video, love this camera angle, they're so small down there. We know how large the town is and that's still small compared to the area.
Game gives me some really strong Outcast-vibes, I love Outcast.

he is a god. You should check out soundtracks from Attack on Titan, Blue Exorcist and Killa la Kill to get an idea of his sense of epic...his compositions are crammed with so much emotion it's unreal

What. Shimomura is a GODDESS!
In all seriousness, she's my favorite game composer (probably not surprising considering how much I love Kingdom Hearts tho lol). Mitsuda is way up there, too, though.
I hope X handles it better than WKC (which was executed poorly). My character in that game was always in the background always making a disinterested/nonchalant expression no matter what was being said or going on. I didn't even care to control that character.
I know that, but I meant local sellers for my country. Come on Nintendo, there is still time for another HD remaster.

The gameplay looks a lot uglier than the very short clips and gifs all of gaf was orgasming over a while ago. The character models don't look that good, or the terrain (that foliage - ew), a bunch of other things. It could still be a great game, but visually unappealing to me, I wonder if it got a graphical downgrade since the first few clips, or if those just looked so much better for being hand picked (and compressed to shit gifs that hid the low res textures)

I hope the "Forcer" line of classes is based on magical stuff. I just really want some variety in how you can play. Melee-based, ranged-based, tank-based, magic-based, etc. That's one thing I think Xenoblade did well. I could switch to any given character and have a new play style. Or I hope you can control the other characters in the party if nothing else.
I'm not seeing this at all - it looks exactly the same (or better) to me.
There was no graphical downgrade. The graphics have only improved since the first video.

I posted some earlier back, but here's another.
What? You can zoom out that far?

What video is that gif from?
MagiusNecros

That's what I wanna know.
Well sure. The monsters are huge and your team can be fighting all over the place so you need to be able to see all the action.

I just think that's amazing.
The IGN live demo.

It still says "Huge succeeded" even now in the IGN demo??
Lots of pop in, look at that IGN video right after they beat the three armored thingies at the end, literally all of the grass takes a second to fade in.

This has made me go back and start playing through more of Xenoblade Chronicles on the Wii. Hot dang, the combat system is good. I like that it starts off simple, then slowly starts unlocking things the enemies can do, like spike counters and such.

The first gameplay video, yeah, which also looked bland. I meant the gifs all of neogaf was getting hyped over *before* the gameplay was shown.

Huge succeeded probably won't be fixed until they have a localized build.
Hopefully the pop in will be fixed/improved in the coming months though.
SoraanTribal

Xenoblade had a lot of pop-in as well, so I'm really not expecting that to be fixed at all. Maybe they will improve it somewhat, but with a world that large and a view distance that long, it's to be expected.

Most areas weren't THAT bad about pop in. Makna Forest was the worst and that whole new area was like a Makna Forest redux.

Kakaka no wonder people keep the Bloodborne trailers press only and the E32009 Monado build behind closed doors. We have a year left in development, and what was shown just as may well been from an older build.
Strangely enough, there really is a LOT of pop-in, but the framerate seems pretty solid. I haven't noticed it dropping much. Just hope that they can make an E32009 to a final release type of leap before the game actually ships out.

Honest question, Skyrim is huge, but does the map also come with creatures as big as this roaming it? I "played" Oblivion but I never saw any giant creatures. I know Skyrim has dragons, but they're nowhere near as big.
I mean, there will be situations where some of your party will be in mechs and some will be on foot, you'll need to be able to pull out farther than that when you have that scenario on those giant brontosaurus style enemies.
Through mods it does.

...This looks worse than the reveal from two days ago.
The bolded. My gut instinct says that this game will release around the same time as Bayonetta is this year. So they have more than a year to get better and pass Nintendo's QC... hopefully looking as good as Zelda U

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
I have a feeling that I'll really enjoy the characters in this game, since the main character is actually just you, it will leave more time to develop the side characters, even if they dont turn out to be these amazing characters, the character interactions will surely be good, thats mostly why OG xenoblade's cast were so likeable despite not breaking any ground.
