Oh, this year! Wow.
XCX 2 right after?
XCX 2 right after?
I guess...
Also on the plus side I love how there's got to be some sort of flight theme or element. This could secretly be Skies of Arcadia 2 as well.
The thing in her chest has the same shape as the Lifehold from XenoX and the Zohar from Xenosaga.

This game looks amazing. Love the more cartoony look to the character models
I agree with the sentiment that the art style clashes with the world. If they tuned it down, like bring it down 100 levels it would be nice. Something that looks like Chronicles art into an HD game.
The trailer was choppy and sucked up until it got to the red sword/tree part. The music was ridiculous right there, so good. That's the atmosphere and music I want from xenoblade. Hyped.

Are you kidding? Did you SEE that huge ass monster? The games are always ambitious as Fuck.

The game looked great, but at first glance the faces look different to the style in the original game. But goddamn at those landscape and the giant creatures; the fact that the majority of the composers are coming back is a big plus.
Between this, SMT, Mario Oddysey, a possible NMH, and Zelda I just have to get a Switch.

The MC's Monado has a Zohar emblem too. Could she (and maybe that blonde girl) be a living weapon?
Please say s/he's the one responsible for new LA themes
Thank god!
Sawano's OST for XBX was a disgrace, especially as a follow-up to XBC's stunning OST.
Wuh wuh... wuh-ew-oh-ew.
I'm thinking the same, but I had this secret hope that XBC and XCX were going to converge in a future sequel in a pretty weird plot twist.
If the 2017 date is correct... could it be that production on XBC2 started in paralel to XCX?

Great year for rpgs.
I've done it for the first two Xenoblades. Might as well keep the streak alive.
Why do you think Takahashi picked Masatsugu Saito as charater designer for this game? His character design work thus far have been anime looking people who are robots! The Cyborg 009 movie and Expelled from Paradise. Both CG films too, so that would explain why this time the designs translate really well to in-game models.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
It would be interesting if he is building this multiverse story connecting xenoblade and xenoblade X

The full-anime look is a lot better. The half-realistic half-anime look from before was always awkward.

They promised the new game would go back to heavy story roots like Saga and Gears, right?

Yep. Takahashi going back to a heavy story direction after X's engine was complete.
It's probably going to be 2018, but the engine work is mostly done for the system so this should come out much faster than X.

I really dislike the localized Chronicles name attachment. Xenoblade just sounds so much simpler and better
I doubt it, the British voice acting in the first game was an accident. Whether they localise it in-house or with the help of 8-4, doing things normally would probably be much easier than hiring foreign actors to bank on XB1 nostalgia. Getting Shulk and Fiora's actors back for a protagonist voice set in X or the Smash appearance might be a different prospect to the entire cast of a lengthy RPG.
It's always been so unnecessary - before its final localised title was revealed, I had hoped they'd dropped it for a new subtitle for X and just ended up changing for each subsequent entry, but it looks like it's here to stay.

As sparse as the line-up is, I kinda want pretty much all the big Japanese games they've announced.
Yes, because like I just said, this is a character designer who is actually accustomed to working on designs for CG anime productions, allowing it to translate better.
Xenoblade was very animeish, as was Xenogears and Xenosaga.
It got a little more tho and understand why it would be a negative. I'm more concerned with the designs which I didn't like at all
They'll just pass it to Side UK, who did Xenoblade's dub. Pretty simple.
Not a fan of the character art design. Makes me think about Tales of and Kingdom Hearts.
Not sure if we need a boy hero that screams boy hero. Monado looks like ass as well.
Everything else looks awesome. Running around in a big ass world with ACE music, sign me up.
That whale near the end is muy bueno.
