I think that was some early cutscene look.

 

[HeelPower]

i'm so fuckin sad


it looked too fuckin godlike to be true ç_ç

you probably need to be PS4/XB1 to pull off the old graphics.

 

[duckroll]

My pants exploded after the trailer.

 

[Rich!]

this trailer was completely cutscenes. all the others were gameplay

of course it looks different from before

And anyone who has played Xenoblade should know the cutscenes are pretty bad graphically.

the gameplay/exploration is what counts

 

[warningjab]

Hyped.

Can't wait for this, though as it has been said...the graphics are abit odd.

 

[Ghost_Protocol]

Game looks like garbage now. WOW

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

yup...Seems the old stuff was bullshit.

I'm shocked.

Still hyped, though. 2015 is going to be a good year.

 

[raven777]

I loved the fact this trailer felt more like Xenosaga, which I love.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Would have been easier to call it Xenoblade Chronicles II.

 

[shinra-bansho]

Yeh... the new art design...

Not feeling it.

Not sure if it looks worse visually to me purely for that reason.

 

[f@luS]

Wow it was looking much worst than the reveal

 

[SoraanTribal]

My pants exploded after the trailer.

Mine too. I was happy with the trailer personally. I desperately wanted a story trailer.

 

[Kriken]

Delayed to 2015? NOOOOOOOOOooooo (Although Riki should be happy with the trailer)

 

[BlazingDarkness]

Did ya'll forget what Xenoblade character models look like? Yah, they looked like ass. Doesn't stop it being the best JRPG in years.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Characters looked teeeeeerrrrible. Man.

I really hope this is good.

 

[Dice//]

Character models are still lol tier.

Given the massive scope of the overworld (if following in Xenoblade's footsteps) I guess it's the price to pay?

I'm more about the world myself. Hell, I dealt well enough with the pretty crappy muddy mess that Wii's Xenoblade had

 

[Rich!]

Yeh... the new art design...

Not feeling it.

Not sure if it looks worse visually to me purely for that reason.

it looks like Xenoblade in HD

not sure what people were expecting.

 

[dermannmitdemcolt]

My pants exploded after the trailer.

Yeah, mine too. This felt a lot more like the old Takahashi. I luv it!!!

 

[Canis lupus]

Was to be expected when it wasn't given a solid release time other than "winter 2014", could be q1, but man, lets hope localization doesn't take so long this time.

 

[onilink88]

What downgrades? What the hell are you people talking about?

 

[Minions]

Does Xenoblade Chronicles include an HD remake of the original game?

I'd pay $100 for a HD remaster of Xenoblade with the couple extra cut zones that they scrapped due to time constraints added in. I'd do it in a heartbeat.

 

[Renekton]

Why did they show angsty anime rather than an open beautiful world with mechs?

 

[Rich!]

Let's hope that Nintendo UK do the localization again.

Xenoblade's VA was amazing.

 

[aravuus]

What horribly ugly faces oh man. I did get more of a Xenosaga vibe from the trailer though which is a great thing, XSs fantastic. Otherwise the trailer wasn't very good though.

I personally don't mind 2015 either, should be able to get a Wii U fairly cheap when XB(C)X (lol) comes out.

 

[flyover]

I loved the fact this trailer felt more like Xenosaga, which I love.

Yeah, me too. Hell, I'm excited for whatever I get. And yes, the characters look weird, but they did in the first Xenoblade (and some of Xenosaga), and it didn't ruin my enjoyment of it at all.

 

[Celegus]

Does Xenoblade Chronicles include an HD remake of the original game?

Can one disc even handle that much game?!

 

[Taruranto]

Trailer up on youtube yet? Can't seem to find it.

 

[Santiako]

That trailer deflated my hype by 500% :/

 

[paolo11]

Sorry for being late on the party. Any gameplay details? Story trailer?

ONline?

 

[dermannmitdemcolt]

Why did they show angsty anime rather than an open beautiful world with mechs?

Bow to Takahashi!

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Why did they show angsty anime rather than an open beautiful world with mechs?

Because people were begging for a story trailer.

 

[Hyunashi]

This I can agree on.

[gamergirly]

Yeahhhh

 

[elty]

This and Bloodborne is pretty much the only day 0 for me. However, I am going to hold out for an inevitable Zelda WiiU bundle.

 

[Katana_Strikes]

I barely recognised the game. Character models were awful. Not sure I was feeling the new look.

 

[QaaQer]

can I use my mario amiibo in this gaem?

 

[Hawaii Jeff]

Does Xenoblade Chronicles include an HD remake of the original game?

OMG that would be MEGATON!!!!

bummed we have to wait a year for this though....

 

[Soriku]

I don't know if the game got a downgrade. Here is what Shulk (?) looked like in the first trailer:

These models are of basically the same quality.

Honestly they really look like Xenoblade models but just better lol. Maybe not good enough though. I think the mechs look good here:

 

[rtcn63]

Persona 3/4 had better characters and Star Ocean 4 had better combat IMO. Some of the dialogue and cutscenes were just terrible. I still don't see the massive love for Xenoblade other than it being a good game on the Wii. I enjoyed my time with it, but forgot it existed within minutes.

 

[Slair]

Next year is gonna be crazy. Fuck.

 

[Johan Liebert]

Most anticipated title for me. Wasn't expecting it as a sequel to Xenoblade.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

Trailer was HOOOORRRIBLE compared to the stuff they have showed before.

 

[Eusis]

I'm kind of disappointed they're seriously going with Xenoblade Chronicles X in the US/EU. No one called the game that, just change it to Xenoblade X and keep it unified world wide.

Not that it's THAT big of a deal admittedly. And not surprised by the delay really.

Downgrade confirmed. ..not that I ever believed the original trailer was real anyways since there's so much you can or can't do with the Wii U Hardware.

 

[UberTag]

Looks like I'm waiting another year before purchasing a Wii U.
The game looks like it's coming along nicely, at least.
Here's hoping they're able to deliver on this 2015 date in both North America and Japan.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Did ya'll forget what Xenoblade character models look like? Yah, they looked like ass. Doesn't stop it being the best JRPG in years.

Pretty much. They looked spray painted on. But this isn't a first for a game to look sublime when its introduced, then scaled back closer to release.

 

[Tiktaalik]

I'm not very impressed with the character models at all.

 

[MicH]

What the hell happened to this game? It looked awful

 

[Pikma]

Did you remember the guy's face at the end of the first trailer? it looks just as bad, the open world gameplay is what looks amazing. I wouldn't worry since the last gameplay video looked exactly the same as the reveal.
