I'm playing the first game right now and the setting is amazing. The design of the world itself reminds me of the Baten Kaitos games, which also had an incredibly creative setting. But Xenoblade X's setting (to me) seems disappointing compared to those. It has a great looking creative planet that it takes place on, but the actual setting is our current universe instead of a fantasy setting. It's a unique premise and still seems neat of course, but I can't help but feel that it's a step away from the atmosphere of the world of Xenoblade. It looks less like the difference between numbered Final Fantasy game settings and more like a complete genre change.

I'd say that Xenoblade X's world has about as much in common with ours as Xenogears and Xenosaga's worlds.

Games that take place "far in the future" where the Earth and its civilizations don't resemble anything like current day stuff makes me categorize it as fantasy. I understand how stuff taking place in the "real world" can diminish the wonder and setting but X's world is so out there that I can't compare them. Also Nopons.

Also we've also only seen the starting zone, basically the Colony 9 of Xenoblade X. Considering what they've done with their previous game, I don't have any reason to believe that they won't give us plenty of interesting environments to play through.

Consider as well that the game takes place on planet Mira, which means they can create any sort of environment that they want (they showed some stuff in space so there could be that as well).

Gundam pilot simulation fantasy indeed.

I just now realized there was a long gameplay demo besides the story trailer. Holy shit, this looks great.

If the world was a good place, they would go for the British actors again, but that's likely not going to happen, since we can expect that this time around NoA will be the ones making the English localization.

Well, plus it'd be a little weird having a bunch of British peeps coming out of a United States ship and living in "Neo Los Angeles."
 
I need this game ASAP because I finished xenoblade last night :( 107 hours in total with my team around level 88, colony 6 fully rebuilt and about 90% of the quests done. so sad it's over. Saved just before the endgame so I can finish off some of the quests but I think I'm gonna take a break from it now

Holding off all judgement until the game is here.

I'm glad they are only showing off one main area for now. I don't want areas with Makna Forest like beauty to be spoiled.

I'll probably go on a media black out, but I at least want to see an official trailer that has story bits and gameplay together first.
The Digitial Event trailer felt more like an edited version of the Game's Intro then a proper trailer, which I felt the first teasers did a better job of.
 
Anyone think there's a chance we may be able to commandeer vehicles placed at the bases all over the area.

I think we might but I'm having some doubts since an NPC is clearly working on the vehicle in the second pic. Maybe they're just there for decoration. Still would be awesome if we could.

It would be neat, but flying around in a mech will be all kinds of awesome either way. I wouldn't rule out vehicles, as the mechs transform into vehicles themselves and they seem to be much more diverse in traversal options for players than in the first game.

Yeah, once we get the flying mech they may not be as useful. However, it may also depend on how the fuel and fast travel system works. Should we be able to drive them, they may be lifesavers in some cases. And they have turrets on them, so maybe they're combat ready.
 
im gonna say those vehicles will be drivable, especially when you get in the city, which is like 10 times bigger than colony 6
 
the presents of ride able vehicles is proof that Xenoblade X is indeed larger than Xenoblades. In fact I believe it is much larger than what any of us will anticipate.

Holy crap, congrats man! Glad you didn't let that boss fight get the better of you and you made it to the end. :)

Yeah can't believe I nearly jacked it in at that point. SO glad I got advice on here, ended up maining Melia from that point until the final battles when I switched Shulk in. It had to be done.

I had planned to do all the side quests before moving on to the final boss but it got to a point where they involved fighting groups of lvl 95+ enemies or single enemies stronger than that and I didnt want to grind a couple levels to get in to the 90's so I could start to take them down, so just went for it.

not nearly as weird as having a bunch of japanese mountain villages in California ;)
I woudn't care as much if they include the original voices though.

Why would cars be drivable? Why would anyone want to drive one when you can just drive this

Because 1. we know we cant get mechs rightaway
and 2. We mostly cant be in our mechs in the city, which cars and other vehicles would be perfect to use.
 
Has it been confirmed that this game will have a WW release date?

I hope they include both audio and text options.

From what we've seen in the Treehouse demo, the game looks pretty polished up and I think it should be out early 2015. No later than May.
 
Started to play Xenoblade again today, man I forgot how epic it is, even for Wii hardware, so awesome. No new game plus for me, since I'm now playing an NA copy. Finally can put the EU copy to rest. I should eBay it.

Are you playing with english or japanese audio?
 
The British VA for Xenoblade is just brilliant. Comes off as very natural.
It's great since Japanese localizations usually make me cringe.

I really, really hoped this game would have a British VA as well. However since this is actually based upon people from "real" places like L.A, I'm not so sure. Maybe if there is a UK city or something

WiiU upscaling or compnent cables for the Wii does mitigate it a tiny bit.

Looks great on my 32" 720p Samsung. Its an LCD though, don't know if it looks better on LED. Sure, nothing will rid of the jaggies, the game has no sort of AA. All you can do is put sharpness at 0, and sit further back. :P Playing through Wii U with HDMI.
 
I've been thinking for a while and I wonder how they're going to handle the differences to earth this planet has?

I mean at 1st glance the gravity does seem to be a bit weaker than earth's considering the massive size of the creatures and the jump of the characters being quite high. How are these guys breathing on a completely foreign planet anyway? Would be nice if they at least tried to answer some of the more less asked questions.
 
I can confirm that xenoblade with the WiiU upscaler doesnt just look a tiny bit better, but very noticeably better, and that it looks orgasmic on the gamepad, so much so that I made a thread about it that I cant link cause im on my phone and dont want to go through the hassle.
 
I don't think having British VA again is a stretch. Considering how accents and ways of speaking change over time. Just consider how people spoke in America during the earlier part of the 20th century compared to now. That's not that long ago. Who's to say that we'll be speaking the same way hundreds of years into the future when aliens come to attack us and we escape in ark ships before it blows up?

I think you're going down a slippery slope if you try to think of this as hard sci fi...

I didn't see any button prompts when the the main character was near the vehicles so I;m gonna assume no but I'd say double check to find out.

The mechs had button prompts
 
I doubt we'll be using vehicles that don't transform into mechs, or that it will be long before we get our first mech.
 
Xenoblade would have been completely intolerable with American accents. Some of the cheesier scenes made me want to harm small animals as they were; imagining them with American accents would be impetus enough to burn down an orphanage.
 
Just slipped through the 45 minute gameplay video. Didn't see any mechs though, I guess I'll have to watch all of them to find it.

I'm not exactly mech crazy like some of you are, but it should be fun. After putting 165 hours into Xenoblade, I trust Monolithsoft. They know how to make a good game.

I'm still a bit confused about how the universe of Xenoblade works. (Ending question, spoilers of course)
So scientist Zanza made the new universe, but how did Meyneth, Zanza and Alvis the AI become part of it but the rest of the people aboard that space station didn't? I get that Alvis is there to keep things balanced, but how is he a higher functioning part of the universe that bestows upon the rest? Was the new universe designed to have those 3 as part of it?

The only thing I understand is that Shulk wanted the universe to be one without the need for gods, and Alvis said that races all over the place will move forward.

I suppose X could be a prequel that explains why they wanted to do the big bang experiment in the first place. But I think this game is a sequel set waaaaaay out in the future, given that the ending hints at it and the Nopon is in the trailer. Is that the general consensus?

Do the Monados still exist at all? Or were they destroyed when Shulk threw his shiny new one into the other 2? Perhaps we'll find out in X.
 
Thinking of buying Xenoblade to play through before getting X but was wondering can I use my Wii U pro controller with it or do I need to get a Wii controller?
