150 for first Xenoblade. Yup 300 hours seems about right for this one....

That 2nd image brings out that huge mountain cliff in the distance. But they never said anything about it in the demo.
In fact, they were really aggressive with the game. I only saw those 2 Treehouse videos and the IGN one
I wish they were less in amount or were only limited to the named NPCs. I get that it's to get easy XP, but I just grinded instead.
one of the games in recent times that structured it well was XIII-2. The actual quests were sort of just defeat monster, but the plot of it related back to the lore/world in some way, which was neat.

I'd prefer just an extra 50 hours of single player then 500 hours of multiplayer.
I should have been clear...300 hours for completing everything lol.
I finished Xenoblade in 160 hours with practically 100% complete on 1st playthrough (didn't count all the side quests I did but reading some wikis after the 1st playthrough looks like the only things I missed were branching quests). The thing that made Xenoblade long is not really the scale of the world but how much you can do inside it. So with a larger scale, we can probably expect more towns, more NPCs, more unique monsters and good amount of secret areas.
dont tell me about it. The more this game lasts, the better, the game world already won me over multiple times and I absolutely cannot wait to roam around pointlessly just uncovering new areas

Oh, I just notice there's a second Tree house footage and IGN gameplay footage, no other analystGAF here? D:
I think there's 2 from Treehouse, then one for Gamespot, then one for IGN. Haven't watched the IGN one yet though. And to think that a week before e3 I was thinking all we'd get is a trailer in a Nintendo Direct
Oh yeah, I noticed that some of the enemies in this game seem to be able to "lurch" at you rather quickly (those boss monsters before Neo LA), and I can't remember any that could do that in Xenoblade. And you can sort of dodge the enemies too, or run and slide out of the way? I think I noticed something like that.

it seem that they hinted a few times someone is already living on the planet they crashed on
also I wonder if the Nopon's came from Earth with them or is one of the species already living on this planet
I predict a lot of people will be disappoint when this game has no online
but if they could fit in a monster hunter like questing to take down some rare giants that would add a very different feel to this game

I'm suprised no long gameplay videos came out for Nintendo Japan's Youtube channel
they seem to push it more in the west
I want a field trailer showing all the areas the same way they spoiled Xenoblade with that extensive field trailer showing most areas
Did Xenoblade end up selling less in Japan than the west?

Between the possible chat box in the original reveal, the customizable protagonist, and Xenoblade being the only game on Nintendo's E3 site that says "Players:TBD," I think there's a decent chance.
Believe
There was also that one time Monolithsoft was hiring Network programmers, but maybe Miiverse only right ;-)

this is why I said a lot of people are going to be disappointed because a lot of people have been expecting this since day 1 reveal
you made some great points as to why this must have online elements though

I still think it's possible that X is solely singleplayer, and I'd be more than fine with that since I loved Xenoblade. From what we know so far, though, I think there are enough details to support the speculation about X having some sort of multiplayer element.
If it is entirely optional, and does not serve to detract from the single player experience in any manner... sure, why NOT incorporate it?

Watching gameplay video in Feb direct and tree house demo, I don't think online is needed for this game. Do those who want multiplayer really played Xenoblade?

That's very possible. Since one of the beast-men is seen piloting a mech alongside the humans, I'm willing to bet at least one of them are. The trailer, however, seems to indicate that the game will deal with very heavy nihilistic themes (surprise, surprise) and it would seem like such wasted potential to not have some sort of conflict between us planet colonizing humans and the natural inhabitants of Mira.
As far as the Nopon go, I'm kinda hoping there aren't going to be a lot of them this time around. With Tatsu being maybe a special case, explained as a sort of space-time anomaly as an homage to Xenoblade. I just don't see the point in revisiting another Nopon village unless there is some kind of new spin on it.

a monster hunter mode to hunt unique high level monsters online would be fine
but I am against taking away from an epic single player mode
at a point a lot of people were saying this might be an MMO

I don't even have this game yet and already found a goal I want to do.
See that weird mountain range in the background in this image?
If you look to the left of it there appears to be some circular shaped floating islands. Well I want to see what is on those islands.
First chance I get my Mech, I'm going see If I can fly and land on it.

Going by the most recent trailer and the opening of the game, it's definitely going to have a massive storyline focus like all of the Xeno games so you shouldn't have to worry.
Smiles and Cries

it is the closest thing to base
Iwata seemed to imply that Mechs come in much later point of the game, I hope not
but you know it might not hurt to try to walk up there and take a look from the hanging sky cliff that is very close to the tiny islands
might want to walk up there run pass all enemies before going to the NEO LA gates
Anyone just getting into Hiroyuki needs to hear his Ao no Exorcist OST. It's essential primer material, and the best demonstration of his range.
As big a fan as I am of Hiroyuki, he's got a lot to live up to with X, coming off of Xenoblade's compositions. Luckily, the bit I've heard is ON POINT.

Just wondering - and being incredibly pessimistic - is the desert area of the gif the same area as the forest (be it unfinished) on the picture? Their structure does seem to be comparable for a bit.

Both locations were shown off in last year's E3 trailer so they're probably separate from each other. They both have the giant rings in the background, though, so they seem to connect where the rings are on the map.
A question for Xenoblade lovers - am I alone in thinking the final quarter of the game is dull?
This was the point in my playthrough when I stopped playing and switched to a youtube walkthrough. I'm watching it again now and I'm really enjoying the glorious story and being able to skip the travelling between tedious boss and mid-boss battles.
I really felt like it was a huge contrast to the early game. The environments were more fascinating, and the story quests really made you feel like you were doing something meaningful with your time. Perhaps it was just because it was fresh.
Should I have given it the chance?
I'm talking more gameplay-wise. Obviously the few hours of cutscenes are epic as the gods, but running through Mechonis, which is a pretty flat and ugly environment full of set paths and hallways, flicking switches, backtracking, going in circles, fetch 3 items to open a path, elevators... It's got to be the most boring thing possible. Not to mention this is around 50 hours already so you're already very well versed in all the mechanics and having to grind makes it even more painful.

I think some people share your sentiment, but since you didn't play it yourself, you're a blasphemer and should be ashamed.

went into Wii Mode to check my save files

can't play tonight because I have no batteries for my Wiimote wish WiiU allowed Pro controller or gamepad controls
edit: my collectipidia has two sections missing 1 item to get 100%
got to find some batteries
I think when you find a section boring you should use a guide to get it done with asap until you can get to a better part of the game you like
I did not have much issue with that section the backtracking caused me to search around a bit but I was also looking to complete my collection to unlock stuff so it did not hurt to find some of the hidden out of the way stuff in that area

How can you not have rechargeable batteries for your remotes? I don't even want to think about how much money I would have spent using regular batteries last gen.

That always makes me laugh when I see it.
(by that I mean someone complaining about a spoiler yet they quote the same spoiler so it doesn't even matter if the person removes it).
After doing a ton of sidequests I hope they somehow streamline or make it easier to do sidequests. Finding people at random times of the day sucks if you forgot where you first met them. Also more meaningful quests with story bits and less "go here and kill 3 enemies" type quests.
I don't mind the ones that call for you to defeat Unique Monsters though.
You actually sold your copy of Xenoblade?! YOU MONSTER!

I thought there were plenty non-generic NPC quests; I mean, just take a look at the affinity chart.

I almost forgot about this. My head explodes just trying to imagine the new affinity chart.

I do hope for that criminal that they don't get them. He should have known that stealing Xenoblade is worse than murder. He is probably sentenced to go swimming amongst level 73 piranhas.

looks like I have to fight some Level 100 UMs to finish my Collectipidia

Well, thinking about it, he could just as easily be the only Nopon on Mira. Nopon are a race of traders and scientists after all, so maybe he somehow managed to come to the planet to study it or something.

The ending of the trailer make him look like a stowaway. So my guess is he managed to get in the spaceship when the earth gets destroyed. But that would mean than the nopon were living on earth and I doubt bionis and mechonis were places on earth...

Love source? Beating LV100↑ enemies is actually one of the easiest step to get it.
Upgarde Colony 6 is the painful part.
