I think the old guy is supposed to be like the "It's dangerous to go alone! Take this." guy.

But the writing in Xenoblade Chronicles X is passionless and borderline silly.
I mean, according to you anyway.

I'm pretty sure no one is confusing your posts with charm.

Your thread was fine. Pokemon writing is pretty bad, even compared to it's peers (Yokai Watch).
Skypunch is just full of it.
People seem to have very different ideas of what they want from "open world".
On one hand, you have people who want a world full of quests and people and "stuff". On the other hand, you have people who are interested in having a world that you can interact with endlessly. The examples I'd for this would be Skyrim vs. Metal Gear Solid V. One is narrative heavy and the other is mechanics heavy. This game seems to be much more mechanics-heavy, focusing more on an open-world "sandbox" style experience where the player can explore and interact with the world in a multitude of different ways. Instead of people and story to discover, the world is more of a conduit for the player to discover things -- be they enemies, items, ruins, etc. The other is more of a narrative-heavy approach: where the open world is a conduit for storytelling. Neither are "wrong" approaches, of course, but I think this is simply a problem with the term "open world" itself.
A third, final definition would be more a "ubisoft" open world design. Where the world is a conduit for tasks. And given tasks, in turn, give the player an excuse to keep moving through the world. In this game it seems like I'm going to want to explore for the sake of exploring. There seems to be a lot of unique things out there to discover and I can't wait to experiment.
Anyway, in terms of Zelda's take on open world design, I am very happy. My greatest fear was that there would be nothing to do between "landmarks" as it were. Just an endless trek from dungeon to dungeon and terrain. However, this stream has convinced me that getting sidetracked by interesting locales in the distance and experimenting with the environment and mechanics will be half of the fun. MGSV surprised me in this way, and I hope Zelda does as well.

Foods can give buffs? Hot dayum.
My favourite games range from Broken Sword to Xenoblade.

We can see more hearts in the off screen footage from the Game Awards but I don't think we've had any word on earning hearts in the latest build outside of temporary ones from eating food. I imagine they are scattered around like usual.

Wow, this is one of the most embarassing posts i saw in the last few months. Enough internet for today I guess.
Has anyone a picture of the whole map? They twice zoomed out and ahowed how big the game is and it seems incredible huge...even bigger then when it was shown at the VGA I would say.
And I love the explosions. A friend of mine and me actual said that it looks a lot like chinese firework.

I really loved the Ghibli style that was evident from the visuals and art style. I hope they'll concentrate plenty on the dungeons as well and not only to create a vast open world. This is easily my most anticipated game at the moment.
why is he in this thread if he doesnt like it? He could be drooling over another game or something.

Amazing GIFs. The physics and playfulness of the interactions of objects and encouragement of experimentation really reminds me of those other sandbox games Nintendo made, Mario 64 and Sunshine.
Has anyone made GIFs of the boulder rolling? And there was this bit in the stream where the wind was literally blowing the torch flames onto the grass and setting everything on fire!

The environments are so lush, that forest was gorgeous.
I've just got home. Only saw the trailer so far. Still need to watch the other videos. I'm dying here. I didn't think it would deliver, but it did.

Don't know why they're making so much out of cooking system. Obviously it's new for Zelda, but it's not exactly a new mechanic - seems incredibly similar to Skyrim where you guess ingredients and see if they make a good/bad outcome.

Hope this one will have a hero mode unlocked from the start or maybe a NG+!

Watch the trailer in the OP, its a pretty amazing looking game but you can see its technical limitations in some areas. Thats where NX comes in.

Look at the released screenshots or the trailer on your tv. You will see the difference. The game looks amazing.
