I look forward to examining all of the rocks and honking birds in trailer videos for the next two years.
Yeah, as much as I'm excited for Xenoblade 2.
I'm actually pretty annoyed that they've just left it on that cliffhanger. It was a shit cliffhanger anyway, but, at least I thought it might have been solved before. Argh!

Might be Japan-only for that date, even though she is speaking to Westerners too. Should be done in 2017 though, at least for Japan.

Why. Why is this anime.
It clashes so horrendously with the 3D environment. If they needed to go anime they could have used Kozaki's designs or just scrap the 2D design part of it altogether. How do they plan to sell this to more international territories like this.
Why. Did they just give up on 3D character models? There was a middle ground to take and they just ignored it.
Why.
Look at the weapon and environment and enemy textures and then back at the characters. Tell me you aren't confused as FK.

Does this mean that one guy who keeps making hate threads about X is at peace now?

So if its coming later this year it has to be really short something right? I love Xenoblade but so far I'm not feeling the same kind of excitement I had for XBC or XCX.

The original Xenoblade was basically a shonen anime until the endgame.

Fuck
Even X had better faces.
Is it really hard to bring a face like this to life

Well, that's disappointing.
I didn't love XCX, but I'd much rather see a sequel to that game instead of this.

They should have continued improving the faces of X. They were great models otherwise. Why ;(

Nah, I'm good, fam. Done with this series for good.
Wow, I mean XBX's story was terrible compared to Xenoblade, but the whole excuse was that game #1 was just setting up the plot for a more story-driven game #2.
This is like if they made Xenosaga Ep1 and then their next game was Xenogears 2. I mean that's cool and all, but it just makes XBX look even worse if they ditch the franchise complete and the game universe never really amounts to anything.

Agreed, this looks more like Tales of to me then Xenoblade. Can't say I'm a huge fan.
It's not just the cliffhanger, XBX explored a very tiny bit of the universe as a whole. The Federation, the Samaarian, L, some of the more misterious races, hell one of the two factions that destroyed Earth in the intro was barely mentioned in the game. There was a great set up to work with.
If this follows Xenoblade 1 "mold" of being typical shonen fare with a Takahashi twist at the end I'm gonna be very disappointed.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
I want it so hard. And I'm glad it seems to have nothing in common with X. Please, God.

Also, Xenoblade is now Nintendo's top tier RPG franchise. Crazy.

Underwhelming as feck. They should just improve on X.

Looked like it was running at 15-20 fps at parts. Hopefully they get that fixed before launch.

Coming 2017?
Ugh at the character designs. XCX's designs weren't that inspired but I'll take it over the bland Tales-esque anime look. It doesn't really bother me that this isn't following up on XCX since most gameplay mechanics were middling (and the story was awful) so hopefully this is working from a fresh slate. XC's ending gives the opportunity to do anything (as we saw with XCX).
The most bizarre part is that XCX was already setup as a sequel to XC.
