Monolithsoft WiiU trailer - X (Takahashi x Tanaka x Sawano, Xenoblade x/multiplayer?)

So obviously the trailer shouldn't be too dissected and studied but after watching it a few times there's plenty of moments/scenes in the trailer where the only character in the party is the black haired male. You can tell because in the upper left hand corner there is only one HP/MP (or whatever it is) display. Also take into consideration the fact that when he runs into and jumps into the mech, it doesn't appear that it would be able to house other party members.

Could part of this game be solo-oriented?

GAF, brothers, sisters, I come here today to admit, to recognize, that I just can't stop watching that trailer, I'm not the type of person who gets ultra-hyped with just the announcement trailer, I swear I normally don't, but damn, I mean look at it.

Not sure if appropiate, but
if that GIF was a girl and I was a boy, I would totally fuck her
.

That's like the only way I can express how I really feel. :lol
But really, I've seen that trailer more than any other ever, 30+ times easily.

Haha, eloquent analogy!
 
Guys...
What if that black haired guy/shulk-like guy are...

Our customized player in due of possibility online multiplayer game (look at the chat on the left in the trailer).

Yeah, you get customized face or hair color but you have to get your armors in same process of XB.
(You get to wear same armors in the Cutscenes.)

Even if there was no point to it ,it would make the world feel more real and immersive to me.


Then the Wii U could also handle it,maybe even more easily.

There is a chance just having it would just backfire instead of working in this type of game where you may have a quest like take some medicine to this NPC in a house in this town but the town has like 20-30 doors that can be opened that would be annoying.

I had enough trouble finding quest NPCs in Colony 9 when they moved around so often I can't imagine having to remember where everyone lives and keep track of who they are visiting.

Imagine your quest target NPC leaves her house and visits someone else so she is behind closed doors... You want a load screen for each door to load furniture and such?

I want that type of thing for a future major urban sim not so much a Xeno type RPG that already has 300+ side quests or 80-100 hours of story. Sounds painful if the dev did this.

No. Those armors are just in fashion. Everyone wears them.

that sounds like it would take longer to develop :(
Are we talking like Mass Effect here?

Have we seen a customizable JRPG? If so I'm going to create a girl that is a mix of all the XB ladies.

This is not an MMO at least we all had that scare early on and decided to dismiss the idea.

Multiplayer mood is possible, I mean KI:U had a good one for a 3DS game but we did not get to change PIT

Well I don't see MMO in this game at all. it's more like MH online style. I don't know to name any customizable JRPG but this is highly possibly that we get to customize face/hair in due of Black Haired guy/Shulk-like guy have same orange tint, and black collar around the neck.
 
Here is what I would like the suits in the trailer to mean:

They are military gear designed for Doll pilots, you don't really have armor, your armor is your Doll.

Instead of looking for armor sets, you look for Doll upgrade sets, you can change the look of your Doll, find new powerful ones, or get one built in town from scraps and pieces you have found exploring the world until you build a real powerful one. The multiplayer allows you and your friends to team up and go fight major UMs for better parts.

You don't start out as a Pilot like all great JRPGs this is a Job you have to level up to

you often see battles on foot without a Doll because fuel is not easy to find but monsters drop capsules of the stuff that you can turn into fuel or craft into better fuel from gems :)

Grind grind grind Can't wait

I won't mind to grind with my doll.

I think I can agree with you that we don't need to have a customized armor because it looks good on everyone in the trailer already.
 
I have yet to grind my people to level 99 yet in my NG+ in Xenoblade I need to go do that soon

I got myself excited again

upgrading Dolls building them, painting them different colors making them from different stuff... Bike, Tank, Boat heh heh

This may have been posted here many times before

In a series of interviews conducted internally last year, Monolith Soft discussed their projects and aspirations. Regarding their Wii U project, they were rather tight-lipped regarding what to expect, but they did say that it will be a challenging game that will get people together, and that you can expect it to be both very flashy and addicting.

This is going to be their first jump into next gen gaming. Monolith say they thought about it for a while, but and decided that if they were going to jump into the next generation, they’d like to have the perfect team in order to do it the right way. Working alongside Nintendo will be a huge advantage, they feel, as Monolith Soft will have a better understanding of the Wii U’s capabilities, in order to produce top notch titles for the company.

is xenoblade chronicles totally seamless world like rdr? Ie is it free of separate maps and loading screens.

also is the world completely square or round and interconnected in all directions like say alltp or is it more like a tree or octopus like soul reaver or twilight princess?
Click to expand...
It's not seamless. It's split in several areas of varying sizes, though many areas are huge, and the load times between individual areas are quite short. The world is also neither round nor square, nor interconnected in all directions. Wouldn't work the way the world is designed. It's very different compared to other games in that the world is extremely vertical.

Hm, I'm not so sure. In the trailer it introduced Kunihiko Tanaka as character designer so that gives me feeling there are set characters.

Also if this was an MMO it would be stated and the face at the end would not be shown, I think. It will have a single player story.
 
Am I like one of the few weirdos that hopes this game has a singleplayer/narrative focus? I want my cool Xenosaga Episode III/Xenoblade cinematography and cut scene style. I want that Takahashi plot-line with all of those Xeno-elements, philosophies and themes that I've grown to like. You'll think we're going to get that out of this game?

Clearly this project is pointing towards an online/multiplayer focus. I REALLY get the feeling that this is a create-a-character game with a focus on grouping with people to take down monsters. It almost looks like Phantasy Star Online 2 at times. I think the gears or "Dolls" are going to be littered across the fields for players to jump into and out of, almost like how Lost Planet handles their machines. I would LOVE for your "Doll" to be a focal point for the plot, almost like how Weltall was to Fei in Xenogears, but I severely doubt it. It's too early to tell, but these are just the feelings I have, ESPECIALLY after reading some of those interview statements from Monolith Soft.

I'd love to be shown otherwise, but I'm doubtful that this game is going to turn out the way I would have liked to have been. We'll see, I guess!
 
If there is particle effect like the one in Unreal engine 4 this game will be awesome .

They should fix the slowdown texture in the grass and put better texture in the sand for some area, fix water & fire effect .
 
now that the dust has settled down a bit, I'm starting to feel really, really curious about the plot. If it's really a Xenoblade sequel, which basically left us with
a world without enemies, where Homs and Mechons live happily together without major divinities interfering with their lives
, where could they possibly go from there? Oh the possibilities
 
I think i got a good solution to all this multiplayer or not debate: My guess is that they are going for a Secret of Mana approach in this game. At one point in the trailer 2 of your party members are clearly controlled by the AI. (GameXplain) What if human players can just drop in and out to take control over one of this members? Online and offline with voice chat supportet.

Would be awesome.

Guys... don't over-think it. It's Xenoblade where people can drop in and control your other two party members. I doubt it's Monolith's take on PSO/MH/GE given that Takahashi is behind it. If you've played Soma Bringer, you know what to expect.

Well maybe, but it definitely seems to be online (as indicated by the chat box).

If this is basically HD Soma Bringer, I am so down. i fucking love that game. If it's also Xenoblade with a pinch of multiplayer, that's cool, too.

Soma Bringer HD + Mechs + Open World?

Day One.

(Though Soma Bringer itself was a pretty good Diablo II clone.)

Yeah, I know. I just wanted to point out that the co-op would be optional and there would still be your Takahashi-esque narrative and single player content to drive the game in the end.

no need for that really... you've got a fuel limit, you'll probably just crash and die.

heavy xenoblade ending spoilers
the world is a simulation, right? so some sort of computer virus sounds reasonable.

good to hear, just bought soma bringer, can't wait to start it.

Wait, what? In the end,
didn't Shulk re-initiate the Big Bang to restore the universe to a state of normalcy? I don't believe it was a simulation.

My mind is cloudy, I thought
he left it as it was, because he believed that Bionis and Mechonis inhabitants should decide their own faith

nope
he just restarted the simulation with new parameters, which means it's still a simulation, just without gods.

hint: Don't read those if you haven't finished the game yet

I just noticed the dynamic shadow under the second monster's neck in the first gif. Attention to detal already stellar

WOAH right at the start of that second gif in the top right corner you can see those turrets but they're much closer and more clearer. If someone could get a picture of that that would be excellent! Wow

I'm not sure that would work, because
wasn't Alvis/the machine built in the universe Klaus existed in? Then he used the machine to destroy and recreate the universe. Unless the machine he used was part of that simulation and activated some sort of mechanism to reset the simulator.

And yeah, all these spoilers have been for the end-game, so you're pretty much screwed on the story if you read them.

Thanks man, definitely looks like some base, or a ship. It looks awesome!
 
Can someone get a picture of the moment, in the first gif (the one with two monsters), when one of them comes very near to the camera? There are so many details on the monsters, and that frame could be very interesting to study.
