I don't think the Nopon means anything, just like Chocobos and Moogles being in more than one Final Fantasy doesn't mean anything. The Nopon will probably just become Monolithsoft's mascot character.

Zanza
created the nopon, just like every other race on Bionis.

They, by proxy, would not exist before the events of Xenoblade. Sure, they may be Monolithsofts' mascot - but they've only appeared in one game, where their origin was made explicitly clear.

Hyperventilating.
 
Wasn't Colony 9 shown at the end exactly as it was on Bionis?

Nope. It was completely different in most aspects. For a start, there were no boundaries like there were on Bionis' body.

if you mean the new world in Xenoblade, that is. There were significant similarities, but that's due to Shulk.
 
Still haven't played Xenoblade lol. These games are too long for me. Love the music and voice acting etc tho. Looks right up my anime filed alley

I've spent over 600 hours on Xenoblade through my various replays on Wii and Dolphin since I got it at launch in 2010

i'm insane

Sigh, as was said, this could just be a fanservice. takahashi has done this in the past.
 
A prequel? Not. A. Chance.

SPOILERS FOR XENOBLADE, proof this is a sequel (IMO)

What came before Xenoblade? Planet Earth. Our planet, as shown as you journey through the solar system before fighting Zanza. Klaus/Zanza destroyed that world and created Mechonis/Bionis.

At the end of Xenoblade, Shulk inherits Zanza's power from Alvis, and restarts the world with the primary goal of their race discovering new worlds.

This new game is quite clearly a sequel, set possibly millenia in the future - that world is essentially destroyed and they are forced to find another as this trailer shows. It makes sense, and follows the theme of Xenoblade perfectly. A massive clue is the Nopon - a race primarily created by Zanza, who survive. The fact that a nopon is in this trailer absolutely 100% proves it is a sequel.

If this game was a prequel, it'd be set here on Earth, where absolutely nothing fucking happens.

This is correct. There's one small plot hole that I hope is worked out (again, Xenoblade ending spoiler):
the X trailer calls it "Earth", and the crashed ship in the gameplay trailer has the words "United States" on it - the world of X appears to have both pre- and post- Zanza elements.

Interesting note regarding X/Xenoblade connections: Tatsu (the nopon in the X trailer) has Bionis-style clothing.
 
I thought people were overreacting but the faces will surely take some time getting used to, quite an unusual choice.


I don't think it's a very good trailer, but if the previous game is any indication the actual game should be pretty good.

It's the fucking shonen game, all the way to the heroes shouting "inspirational" shit at the bad guys seconds before the boss fight

Which I hate so much lol
 
They'll be looking at X on Treehouse Live, starting soon... maybe that'll help give more info for some of these graphics discussions.
 
This game has cross in the name. So this will be the chrono cross of the series while Xenoblade Chronicles was the Chrono trigger of the series.

I actually bought the Limited Edition at launch from Game with the Red controller but only played like an hour and never touched it again. I don't have the time but since this is 2015 I may go back and work on changing that before X.

I still have that

also, play it on Dolphin in 1080p. works on low spec (i played it through on my old AMD Phenon X4), and it's GLORIOUS
 
Called it. Different universe using the same elements and assets. Pretty much the only way they could do that game considering the way X plays out.
 
The gameplay videos they released in the past all looked better than this. This story trailer was really some bad animu stuff.
 
Should've called it Xenoblade Xicles! So it being a spiritual sequel makes me wonder if Xenoblade's just gonna be Nintendo's own long running JRPG franchise. I wouldn't object.

If it was available on a handheld I would play 100s of hours, works for Pokemon in my situation :) I'll defo play it one day, hopefully before X.
 
I don't really care - it's the environment that matters in Xenoblade.

Still gotta look at those faces during cutscenes :(

Slightly surprised at how I seem to be in the minority when I say I prefer Xenoblade's faces. They weren't that good but imo they're miles better than these new ones.
