you can kinda see where they hid the loading
the sky and dino intro cutscenes are well placed into new areas

Try it out. One of the best RPGs ever. Deep and very philosophical story, solid battle gameplay, great cast of characters. Really great game.

True, but wouldn't that only play the first time you enter?
Only if you can stomach the battle system. It's easy, but it is a slog most of the time, at least I think so. The music, story, and character art are great, although the 2nd disc is the most obvious rush-job in gaming. Town exploring and NPC interaction were classic Square. Despite its faults, I think it's worth a playthrough, but only if you have the time.
Well, the Wii U is technically "last gen" in terms of its hardware specs.

I think what he's saying is no-load sequence when going from one big map to the other, not counting the in-between cutscenes. Kinda like entering and exiting towns in Xenoblade, where there is no loading sequence, even the transition of music was smooth.
Though it seems like Zelda has 3D grass

Zelda U will be at most 1/4 the size of Xenocross

Remember, the 1st 5-7 hours or so are tutorial, if you can dig through that and get the 3rd party member, then the game really starts opening up. Enjoy playing.

I was hoping for a little bit more character relationships/romance in this game but being able to customize and having both genders can't really expect Mass Effect levels of shipping here :/
but I welcome the customization over this. I liked how treehouse play white male first run and black female second run, everyone should be happy, seeing the lady run animation made Ubisoft jokes possible

Are you me? I just bought a copy yesterday!
Then I ripped it onto my PC and played it at a downsampled 1440p resolution 
.
....what?
...Whaaaaa????
The game/world is that massive and long? I only played 2 hours of it. I don't know if I should be excited or very scared lol.

It's pretty massive. The 1st map in itself will require a good number of hours just to explore everyrthing, plus avoiding nasty monsters lol.
Nothing to be scared of really. Once you get used to exploring you'll enjoy doing it the rest of the game.

I wonder if the 3 moons are the new locations? remember in Xenoblade what you always saw in the sky was pretty much where you ended up later
the more I think of it the more I think that is what the treehouse guy was hinting at

also that big dino is only level 45 LMAO
you know in Xenoblade as long as you get within 10 levels off a monster you can pretty much beat it
can't wait to see the level 99+ dudes

With a doll and space ships at your arsenal, anything is possible right now.

Yeah, he's got nothing on that L80 guy in Bionis' Leg who aggros to your party on sight, around where you find Juju's crashed vehicle. Then again, I'm guessing the Primordial [Whatever] is more akin to Colony 9 than Bionis' Leg.

that has to be it because that one moon is HUGE and beautiful at night like a focal point
they teased us so much on Bionis and we already seen space battles in the intro for the story including crashing on the planet

Them monster hunter opening scene flashbacks.
Love that they do this, even in Xenoblade, just showing enemies chilling.

Edit: I love how a random flying enemy is passing by in the scene.
Don't forget that one guy who said X looked worse than Xenoblade running in Dolphin with hi-res texture pack.

true, I am still going to grind like crazy even if death is not really punished
also happy for no fall damage love jump off high places. super hyped!
wish they would release more trailers and images now that E3 is over

I really liked that about Xenoblade so far. Even at the beginning, the world feels so full of life.... especially a lot more than another particular, big-budget, huge open-world RPG that I love.
I'm not scared of the game itself, just how much it will consume my life.

I doubt the Dolphin guys will ever stop hyping how great they were able to make the game look
we would have had many more voices asking for an HD remake if this was not a thing

Seriously. Xenoblade is ANYTHING but "bland". It's one of the favorite looking games from an artistic perspective. Absolutely gorgeous areas.
Edit: I love how a random flying enemy is passing by in the scene.
Mother of god. That is SO beautiful. This game will suck so many hours away of my life just like Xenoblade did.
Not sure if serious.
No.

I really wish they demoed more of the character creation. I'm so going to try and make a Shulk.

I would assume Shulk is going to be a preset design that you can just choose, or I would hope so anyway.
They only showed offline and made no mention of any type of online mode.
Did you see both 30 minute play sessions at E3?

The epic scale of this game is the best part of it. Was Xenoblade anything like that?I'm one of those filthy people that didn't play the first one...
Yep. Just not graphically impressive as this Wii U game. Though the draw distance is awesome in the Wii game.

I'm pretty Xenoblade has the largest world of any JRPG, until maybe Xenoblade X.

I just wonder what kind of altitude we're gonna be able to get with these Dolls. I wanna fly up out of the atmosphere and nosedive into Neo Los Angeles.

I hope there isn't any Citan/Jin lookalike in this game. 'Cuz it's gonna be really awkward when he meets my character and discovers he has a long lost twin.

Ah, the celebrations that would be had...
I'm predicting Summer release for Japan, a few months later for everyone else... maybe.
I bet it's salty, though. Reyn would not approve.
After watching the second treehouse demo, I noticed that level scaling mechanics seemed to be more balanced this time around. When he attacks the level 45 dinosaur like creature, all of his attacks actually hit. In the first xenoblade, if you attacked enemies that were more than 5 levels higher, or were attacked by enemies more than 5 levels lower, nearly all the attacks would miss. One of my biggest problems with the original was how significantly easier the game became if you were a little over leveled since you basically became invulnerable.
How do people feel about some of the changes to gameplay mechanics?
-being able to target specific body parts and cut off appendages such as tails
-not being able to change time on the fly
-level restricted equipment
-no healing techs outside of the timed B button prompts that heal your team
-TP system

1.GREAT I love monster hunter because it gives me the opportunity of deciding how I want to approach. Cripple him of attacks or rush the highest dmg points? I imagine that one pig monster won't be able to use head charge when his crest breaks and those bosses won't be able to use tail stab or be off balance after charging/jumping. I love this.
2.Kind of bad, but they seem to have like a "capsule". Immersion? idk.
3.Bad, but it makes sense thinking about the whole "can actually hit level 45 monsters". Imagine if you could cheese some of the monsters like you could in Xenoblade with Melia's spear break insta-kill at level 27 to a lvl 90 monster and get a super OP set of weapons for the rest of the game. I believe it's a trade off between being able to really challenge oneself with these higher level enemies but not being able to cheese and break the rest of the game. Kind of like in MMO's, a level 200 player could just drop something for a level 1 guy to use and if it had no level restrictions? Game broken. This becomes increasingly important if they are going to implement online down the line so I see it as more of a necessary control at this point.
4. I imagine we'll get new ways to heal, just that the 2 characters shown have no real defensive arts.
5.So-so. This one's REALLY mixed for me. I like the idea of more resource management but if TP can only be restored during battle or via menus, it would force me to use menus that I don't want to constantly scroll through. Xenoblade's battle system might have been pretty simple, but had a sense of beauty to its simplicity.
We still don't have a lot of info about this game.

1. Sounds fun. No reason not to like it really.
2. Hmm, I liked how easy it was in Xenoblade, but I'm assuming they restricted it to ease up all the loading of assets.
3. Could be interesting, especially if it acts as an incentive to Level Up certain stats.
4. So-so, although I hear the best parties in Xenoblade 1 didn't rely on healing. Plus, as mentioned, it's possible the healing techs/methods just weren't shown.
5. Not enough shown/don't understand to comment : P
