Colony, huh? Well, the way I see it, that might just be the ship they landed on. Doesn't it look a bit round to you?

Here's two:

it is not a clear shot, but I see what you are saying...

keep looking guys

 

[creid]

I wonder if Ishigaki is doing the mech designs.

Don't get my hopes up :/

And Tanaka being on board is a good thing. I mean, look at what he did for Shulk and Fiora

Whoa, where is this from?

Has there been formal confirmation that Soraya is working on X or are people just assuming as much?

She posted "Thanks for the messages to T about X", which kinda sounds to me like she is not personally working on it. No formal confirmation either way.

Can't make out much of it, but it looks like a different structure from the other one to me.

 

[Sophia]

Promotional art from Japan. His style is really awesome.

 

[Malvingt2]

Oh wow.. Monolith Soft still hiring.. They have jobs listing on their site.

Watch the trailer on the Wii U eShop. The footage looks amazing on a TV.

updated the larger pic so you can see it to the right of the Doll's wing compared to every thing else on the ground

Well, it's definitely a different structure from the other one as there's a water basin there unlike here.

Nice, they really have way more money to make games now.

 

[anaron]

Whoa, where is this from?

As far as I know, it was included with the special edition soundtrack.

 

[Raptor]

Sorry if this as been asked a million times but is this game SP too and not only MP?

As in can be played solo?

Thanks.

There's no information regarding that currently.

It's a Takahashi game. I very much doubt it's MP-focused. By the looks of things, it just seems like people can take up the mantle of your other party members instead of having to rely on the AI.

One day I'll have a good mac that can run this thing too many people keep talking about it like it's a gift from Miyamoto. They won't even accept the new Wind Waker because they are spoiled by Dolphin hax.

I really want the Wii U to have an official Xenoblade HD

Here's some examples of the game running in Dolphin with AA and the high res textures (note not 100% of the textures have been replaced). This game should look at least as good as this, if not better.

Some of the rock columns are not rocks... That looks like a building tower (center) and the base has walls and a gun turret pointing towards the water to the right

Some of those towers are just rocks others have very detailed man-made structure I will have to zoom in for more of them

EDIT: that is not a water basin looking at it in motion the Doll is way up on one of those sawtooth landmarks

 

[Lenardo]

RAPTOR,

we don't know.

there SEEMS to be multiplayer, but how much is needed and required and how much can be solo'd is unknowns,

also unknown is how the multiplayer works

 

[Raptor]

Thanks for the answers, it just seems that this games along with the Platinum ones are tempting me in buying a WII U, this one looks so incredible that it would be a shame IMO if it was only MP.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

As long as I get to see more gorgeous locales a la Xenoblade, I would already be more than satisfied. This game looks to be pulling out more stops than just an HD-ified version of that, though, with Gundams and motorcycles...

What would people say if they announced this to be related not to Xenoblade, but Xenogears? Or Saga, for that matter.

Hmm, both Tokyo and Kyoto. I wonder what their 3DS title will be if it's not BK3.

yeah I am a big fan of Xenoblade and a lurker of the eyecandy in the GAF Dolphin thread so I've seen the HD packs before some even change the menu photos to HQ

 

[Sophia]

I honestly don't care as long as it's good. Would be a nice bonus if it was related to Gears or Saga. Even more so after Saga's ambiguous ending.

 

[Yamauchi]

Yes. At 0:55 in the trailer there is another (differently shaped) tower in the background.

 

[onilink88]

It was specified that this is a new IP. In a hypothetical situation that it wasn't, however, I wouldn't mind if it were related to either three.

Could be a stealth sequel.

What's a "stealth sequel"?

 

[Smiles and Cries]

For one.

trying to get a cap of that structure in the back you can see it is huge after that tail is cut but the frame moves on too fast

 

[SolVanderlyn]

I imagine a spiritual successor kind of thing, like Saga was to Gears. Although technically speaking, that was a stealth prequel.

 

[Sophia]

What's a "stealth sequel"?

spiritual successor, essentially.

 

[onilink88]

After the tail gets cut off, the trailer proceeds to the interior view of the doll. Don't see any structures. There was this tower thing when the two mechs were fighting each other, though.

Derp. Completely misread your post.

Oh, a "spiritual successor"? Well, like I said, either three is fine with me.

So I still haven't played Xenoblade yet; is this looking to be a FF12-type gambit game (which I'm under the assumption XB sorta is) or an actual action/RPG where you run around and swing a sword? Looks awesome either way. Wish they got Mitsuda though ;-\

 

[electroplankton]

Anyone noticed those strange blue lights at the beginning of the trailer?

 

[onilink88]

It's marker for aquatic monsters or something like that, I would guess. There's a green one just before it.

Xenoblade has no Gambits. In fact Xenoblade's battle system is nothing like FF XII besides the 3 person battles and the fact that enemies appear on the field. It's a common misconception that they're alike when they really are not.

I think the best example for this case is the Soul Blazer series.. [Soul Blazer,Illusion of Gaia, Terraningma]

 

[Kiryu]

LOL

I know what's next word he would say!

 

[onilink88]

I remember this guy, but... I don't remember his hair being like that. What happened? lol

 

[Meccanical]

His hair is turning into a bird.

Why?

Aliens.

 

[Zenaku]

You guys should just save the trailer to your computers. Frame-by-frame viewing and the ability to edit the saturation.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

glad you can fly up so high and this world is huge

I wonder where this one is? but I got more of it after the tail got cut

 

[Meccanical]

What if you can improve your engines enough to gain enough fuel capacity to fly into space?

you made that look good why did they give us a crappy trailer

very true that is part of a JRPG experience upgrades are the stuff you grind for

Okay, this got a good laugh out of me.

Sorry, misread your post before. Yeah, whatever it is, it's massive (as is the world).

 

[MagiusNecros]

When the mech takes off you are so high you can barely see a natural bridge made out of the landscape far in the distance. Crazy.

 

[Zenaku]

I said it before, but I believe they're both the same structure, just from two different locations on the map. Pay attention to the camera direction on the minimap.

image quality is blurry dude they did this on purpose to an amazing game

this is like having sex with the most beautiful woman in the world but you put a brown paper bag over her head
