It's more amazing than I imagined. Not only does the landscape look great, but those monsters! Those mechas!

Also looks like it'll inherit the "Xeno" name going by the Xenogears style "X".

I legit cried holy shit

Monolith omfg ;_;

YESSSSSS

 

[Tomodachi]

It's interesting how they're going with Swano, who's a popular anime composer, instead of Mitsuda though. Considering they got Tanaka back as a character designer, I wonder if Mitsuda turned them down...

And apparently Soraya Saga is back on the team? She tweeted about the event yesterday. Can't contain the hype.

 

[The M.O.B]

It looked A LOT like Final Fantasy XIV, except the scale is EVEN LARGER.

Wow

 

[Galang]

^ Edit: My first thought was Final Fantasy XIV as well.

YAY I can watch this without all the annoying lag.

The music and atmosphere is so pretty, I'm crying @ this Direct...

 

[Tenbatsu]

XENOBLADE IN HD OMFG!!!!!!!

 

[Toth]

That was very impressive. Happy owner of a WiiU now Game looks uber slick.

 

[Croc]

Shiiiiiit I was not expecting htem to drop that at the end of the Direct

Looks incredible

 

[Diddy Kong]

OMFG SO MUCH HYPE

 

[Lulubop]

Looks incredible. Cannot wait.

 

[vareon]

Wii U purchase confirmed.

That flying mech. THAT FLYING MECH. FLYING MECH OPEN WORLD asdfadsgdsg

 

[anddo0]

So was that Xenoblade 2, an HD remake?
It's Xenoblade that much is true.

I couldn't bring myself to beat the first one. But now it looks like I have to.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

HOW IS THIS NINTENDO DIRECT ACTUALLY DELIVERING?!

It's like Nintendo lost all the data during E3 and suddenly found it. This is what E3 needed to be. Just this. Alone. System seller right there. Too bad it was just a webcast that not a lot of people would be aware of.

 

[GulAtiCa]

hnngggggg!

Oh god, looks awesome.

 

[Derrick01]

That actually looked pretty damn cool. I just hope it's not nearly as monster hunter-y as it seemed.

 

[kitsuneyo]

Yay for the HD version. Graphics and music both beautiful!

Looks like online play or local multi at least.

"X" would be a pretty cool title I reckon.

 

[Dr. Ecco]

IS THIS REAL LIFE?

 

[Big Papa Husker]

Isn't that "X" the Xenogears X?

 

[Aeana]

I don't know why people are comparing it to Monster Hunter. It looks just like Xenoblade in terms of large enemies and such.

 

[Gintoki]

Amazing.

 

[Anteater]

wait what *clicks link* holy shit

p,ga

 

[FalsettoVibe]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is what I bought a Wii U for!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

I like the part where this looks like Xenoblade with FUCKING TRANSFORMING MECHS

 

[ultron87]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

That looked sick.

 

[tim.mbp]

Fine Nintendo, I'll buy a Wii U.

My thoughts too.

 

[Ghost_Protocol]

This is a nice surprise.

 

[Nasley]

OMG. Wait, is this an MMO?!? I don't mean the gameplay; there's that one part where there's a chat box on the left o__o

I guess they did say they wanted to bring people together but

omg

 

[Goli]

The character and monster design sort of remind me of PSO2.

 

[olimpia84]

HOLY SHITTTTT
LOOKS LIKE XENOBLADE 2 WAS THAT SHULK??????

I NEED THIS GAME RIGHT FUCKING NOW

 

[ActStriker]

IN MY VEINS

 

[DeuceGamer]

We better NOT need an Operation Rainfall to get this! Looks amazing!

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Looks fantastic. The X was more reminiscent of Xenogears, but hey, I'll buy it either way.

 

[MicH]

I screamed like a giddy little girl when Iwata showed this. SO DAMN WONDERFUL AMAZING BESUTIFUL

 

[Salvadora]

This looks incredible.

 

[zroid]

I JUST CAME 10 TIMES.

+10

 

[i-Lo]

Xenoblade+MonsterHunter+Armoured Core/ZoE..in HD.

Looks fantastic.

 

[ChosenPredator]

all this new shit made me happy to have a nintendo even if its months off for any of those games it's all i need to see to make me feel like my purchase was worth it.

 

[raven777]

ok, this video will make me buy wii u

 

[Zornica]

where did the colors go?


was that shulk at the end?

 

[DaBuddaDa]

I don't know why people are comparing it to Monster Hunter. It looks just like Xenoblade in terms of large enemies and such.

Third person Japanese game + big monsters = inevitable comparison to MH.

 

[An-Det]

That looked fantastic. Goddamn we need more info, it needs to be E3 already.

 

[Ridley327]

I don't know why people are comparing it to Monster Hunter. It looks just like Xenoblade in terms of large enemies and such.

Yeah, I don't see where there's any Monster Hunter; it looks just like Xenoblade with a new art style.

And mechs.

 

[Kazerei]

I believe in Monolith Soft.

I BELIEVE

 

[Witchfinder General]

Fine Nintendo, I'll buy a Wii U.

Yup, Me too. I've finally decided to get one. Monolithsoft's game, plus the New Megaten/Fire Emblem, plus The Wonderful 101 plus Windwaker HD has sealed the deal.

 

[SolidSnakex]

SCALE!

 

[Rootbeer]

Best part of direct for me. Not saying much, I guess? Anyway I find it interesting that they showed it off in both the NA and JP directs... does this mean a near simultaneous release is possible?

 

[TheBaronOfNA]

Please don't be an MMO.
Please don't be an MMO.
Please don't be an MMO.

Is not a MMO, is pretty much Xenoblade combat system and UI...

I CAN'T FUCKING WAIT

Now I really want to buy a WiiU

 

[Acosta]

OMG, YES!

 

[UberTag]

Provided it doesn't go overkill with multiplayer focus, this will probably be the title that sells me a WiiU. Given that we got actual footage I'm assuming it's further along than the new Zelda (non-WW remake) WiiU and SMT x Fire Emblem.

Hoping for a summer 2014 release with a speedy port and no Project Rainfall begging/hoop jumping.
