I haven't finished a JRPG since 2010, but I'm very excited about this one.

 

[Yeshua]

Do you guys pronounce it "Xenoblade Chronicles ex" or "Xenoblade Chronicles cross?"

The latter, Xenoblade Chronicles Cross.

 

[threelights]

I haven't played the first one on Wii but this looks great. I'll probably pick it up whenever it is released in NA.

Ex. I can't remember the last game were I said 'cross'.

I prefer Xenoblade Chronicles X(Christ) because it's going to be god like.

 

[MilkBeard]

Xenoblade Chronicles "Ten"

Because its ten times bigger then Xenoblade

That would be.....way too damned big

 

[anaron]

Yes. I win.

Maybe you're talking about the outfits, but the faces in Xenoblade were primarily lacking in detail, not art design.

The faces are ugly

I prefer XenoCross

get rid of chronicles

 

[magnumpy]

looks great. almost makes me want to buy a WiiU...almost :/

 

[foxuzamaki]

"chronicles" is unnecessarily added to the localized version, its just xenoblade to me, xenoblade chronicles is just a mouth full.

 

[TheMoon]

This is my most anticipated game this year. When is GameXplain's analysis going up?

As soon as they're done. It's not like they don't have a ton of other stuff to cover, too^^

It's "ex." Xenoblade Cross is the Japanese title (Zenobureido Kurosu).

 

[Lebron]

Did they just put all the budget and their fucks into the environment?

 

[Aostia]

That would be.....way too damned big

yep, but it IS 5 time bigger, that is a lot anyway

 

[Fandangox]

I think Xenocross is alright.

Alternatively: Xenoblade Chronichles: Part 2 XXX State of Emergency

 

[TheMoon]

I think Xenocross is alright.

Alternatively: Xenoblade Chronichles: Part 2 XXX State of Emergency

You can also call simply: HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!: The Game

i refer to it as xenoblade or xenoblade cross. chronicles just makes the name too long

But then People would get it confused with Wonderful 101

 

[GayForMaster]

MUH DICK

 

[chadboban]

Was bored so I decided to make a .gif with just the mech parts.

Man, the wait is unbearable!

 

[Super Stardust]

Why does the main character have red hair in the trailer when during the treehouse gameplay he had silver hair? Can we customize how he looks?

You create your own character at the start.

Ex

 

[Smoothice65]

Some battle screenshots that was released alongside the trailer.

Wow that looks better than the first time I saw it, especially the first part of the gif.

 

[Cosmozone]

Mechs... flying... sigh. But that sky is the star of the scene.

 

[TheMoon]

You watched the Treehouse demo but forgot the five or so minutes they spent in the character creator???

Some battle screenshots that was released alongside the trailer.

There were screenshots released??? Where?

edit: apparently here playeressence.com/xenoblade-chronicles-x-12-stunning-new-screenshots/ (actual source, dualshockers is banned^^)

there are also more environmental still shots from the trailer (12 new shots total)

 

[Super Stardust]

yes

You create your own character at the start.

sweet i'll make mine look like shulk ^‿^

It was so long ago heh

 

[Fandangox]

Yeah you can change the appearance, voice, gender, etc of the MC. The Treehouse footage goes more in-depth, but I can't link it right now because I am on the phone.

Here you go, nothing special.

 

[hatchx]

I wonder if there is still speculation of simultaneous co-operative play, online or offline. There were a couple of clues in earlier trailers that lead me to believe there would be some sort of co-op play, but at this close to release I'm really wondering if its there.

Probably not.

 

[Wolfgang Jr]

Once again, if Nintendo create a launch trailer showing ANY characters or the fighting, this ring will flop. It'll play great but those two parts in particular look horrendous.

 

[ZombiePlatypus]

Across all three consoles, this is the first game that's actually properly given me "next gen is finally here" feeling.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Looks great! Will be buying!!

 

[hatchx]

Well, the fighting shows audiences that it's a JRPG and not a TPS.

I can't help but agree with you that the North America trailer needs to be mech, open world, mech, open world, end. The Japanese trailer can be a whole lot o things though.

 

[SolidSnakex]

I wonder how far along the translation is considering that they still haven't shown a trailer with English text (or at least I don't think they have). That just makes it seem like they may be lagging pretty far behind the Japanese version.

 

[Redx508]

screenshots look good but it sucks that this game is only on wiiu it won't sell

 

[Demon Lizardman]

Woah, hey now, this game wouldn't exist without the Wii U.

 

[Blunoise]

only because ppl like you wont buy tge game because its on a nintendo console, even if you really want to play it.

oh and its on wii u because its own by Nintendo

 

[TheMoon]

Or maybe they just haven't implemented the localization yet and Monolith gets the footage from their latest build, there's no way to show off an English trailer now without creating a special English build just for that which they don't really need because nobody gets hands on time with it anyway. I wouldn't read anything into that part.

 

[Boogybro]

You don't deserve to rock that avatar.

 

[TheMoon]

Here's a nice comparison. It's not the exact same moment in the scene but it's close enough.

E3 2014

January 2015 Nintendo Direct

 

[threelights]

Always nice to see that at least the UI got major upgrades.

Any word if that giant plant moster thing is an actual monster that we fight?

Different time of day? =p

It's a Nintendo game so get your port begging somewhere else.

I am not port begging just saying that most of the jrpg fanbase is not on the wiiu

if the game is any good than ill buy a wiiu but for now ill keep my expectations low don't want to get disappointed

 

[TheMoon]

Time of day doesn't make the explosions look better and the wreckage parts glow.

I really hate this logic. If no game of a certain genre ever comes to a platform the fanbase also won't. You have to start somewhere.

The game will be fantastic, just going by the foundation it's building off of with the original Xenoblade being one of the best JRPGs this side of Y2K and one of the finest games from the previous generation.

Seeing as how none of the current gen consoles have any JRPG out at the moment, how do you know where they are at?

 

[wmlk]

By having any semblance of logic. I think it's obvious that the majority of JRPG players are on PlayStation platforms, just due to the sheer size of the install base alone.

Heck, Hideo Baba, the Producer of the Tales games, has even said that the series will go wherever JRPG and Tales fans go. He's already decided on sticking to PS3/PS4.

You can hate on port-begging all you want, but it doesn't take a genius to understand that the game would sell better on another platform.

Sheer size of the installbase? The Wii U installbase is bigger than the PS4's in Japan.

Baba also insisted Tales fans were on Vita and not 3DS after Tales of Innocence sold quite a bit worse than Tales of the Abyss.

Not that I necessarily disagree, just Baba and Tales are not the best example.
