The fact that an orchestral arrangement of the Satorl Marsh night theme was performed but not recorded is heartbreaking. At least there are recreations...

Yeah, wasn't there a Xenoblade concert, or whatever it was with the Monado replica, I wish there was a DVD of it; I'd so buy it.
Actually; the arrangement I'm thinking of was from one of the Press Start concerts, which are never recorded. Some of the orchestrations we don't have recordings of as a result include "Beyond the Bounds" and "Dancing with DomZ".

Love source? Beating LV100↑ enemies is actually one of the easiest step to get it.
Upgarde Colony 6 is the painful part.
yeah that is one, also missing something else I guess I'll find out when I get batteries and start playing again
yeah raising Colony 6 to level 5 ugh
looks like I have to fight some Level 100 UMs to finish my Collectipidia
how fun
Beating a level 100+ UM is just a small part of the battle.
Rebuilding Colony 6 to Housing level 4, improving the Area Affinity to level 5, learning Shulk's Hero's Privilege or Riki's Buy Stuff! in the skill tree and inviting Je'rell to Colony 6 are the other parts.
What's so bad about rebuilding Colony 6? I've never really felt it that difficult?
How could you
If it's gameplay you didn't like, why even bother? If it was the story though, go ahead. Xenoblade's had nothing on Gears and Saga.

I think that's the same one.
I'm pretty sad that we'll never hear them, and just thinking about Xenoblade's soundtrack again makes me doubt Sawano even though I liked his work in the past.

Some of the rare collectables is really hard to find. Image that you need two to upgrade Colony 6, and another one for collectopaedia.

Could you guys possibly make another thread for pure Xenoblade discussion? I haven't played it yet, and won't be able to for a while, so I keep having to dodge around all the posts made about it (especially the ones discussing plot etc) despite being in this thread for X related info.
Sorry for being a pain, but I want to go into Xenoblade knowing as little as possible.

I hope they keep the option that player can only know enemy's level and aggressiveness when we target it. Being able to see information far away from enemy ruins some feeling of exploration. I always turn it off in Xenoblade.

Check your gamestop, mine had like 3 available. $44 used, but apparently new, looked new and the nintendo club code worked.

I think it's to keep with consistency. We don't need 2 different titles of the same game

would you guys be upset if X used some bits of Xenoblade music?
just as fan service in little areas maybe
Zelda goes all out to remind us sometimes I would like this series to do the same if they want to use the Xenoblade name

No, would be really cool for some remixes.

Thanks guys. I'll be sure to check out some of his other pieces, he is quite talented.
They will probably use a Nopon-related music from Xenoblade since X and XX both have Nopons. Probably a remix of sorts of Frontier Village or Riki's theme. Just my guess.

Faces' artstyle needed an improvement over Xenoblade. A man can still dream...
Really? I think it's pretty generic scifi stuff aside from the more epic landscape stuff, like the peak in the second picture. That kind of stuff is cool.

The trailers and screenshots look even better after around 10 hours of Xenoblade.
I'm hoping that they improve the facial animations, or at least match the expressiveness that the characters have in Xenoblade (during cutscenes).
And it seems that doing all the sidequests pretty much overlevels you for story battles. So far I've been over leveled for every boss so far.
The cutscenes are still as awesome as I remember though.

That's a crime against humanity!
Generic sci-fi is a description that should be reserved for the likes of Star Ocean and Phantasy Star (Online). From the fauna and environments art, to the music, to the unconventionally-designed city - the execution in general, really - XX is in a league of its own.
I do (mind you, I wasn't particularly impressed with the traditional entries, but I, at least, won't call them generic).
Generic for Phantasy Star??? WTF? Not at all, unless you mean the online ones.
Yeah, I just don't see it. It looks good, but it's nothing to gush over about. It's stuff I expect to see in a sci-fi world, from what we've seen, I think it's generic.
Maybe I'll be proven wrong when we actually get to play the game, Xenoblade took place on two giants after all. I'm sure they have all kinds of imaginative stuff in store for us.
e: also when talking about a game's art, i personally don't think music really counts

I did.
When I heard it was a 100 hour RPG with billions of quests and I was about to start up a HUGE courseload at Uni AND part-time work, I took the money when I needed it.
Then I regretted it...
Then I bought it again when a forum buddy was selling stuff to pay for a broken car. I hate saying I lucked out by his misfortunate (and didn't pay up the nose for it), but it's in my Top 10 games of all time these days, so.... :S
God, stop talking, Dice.
Between this and the first Xenoblade, I think the studio has built up a pretty unique aethetic that I dont feel many other, if any, games share. Whether its in the mechanic design, nature, rock formations, etc. It's a pretty singular look. There's also elements shared with Xenosaga, but I feel Xenoblade as a whole is avery unique package in terms of world design, and I expect X to follow suit...

So uh, I'm only just now aware of the bitching regarding a graphical downgrade? I thought it looked fine aside from some of the faces. Anyone got a comparison?

I'm pretty sure most people took back those downgrade comments after Treehouse showed a ton of gameplay footage. Here's a comparison from earlier in the thread.
Thanks for finding the top gif from the original reveal. I think this is the closest comparison I can find:

June 2014

Yeah, the problem seems to be that a lot of people only watched the Nintendo Digital event and didn't watch the Treehouse footage at all, and since the Nintendo Digital event pretty much focused on just story and the character models look worse than the environments do, causing people to assume that there was some time of downgrade. But yeah, after the Treehouse footage, it thankfully seems those worries were overblown and premature.
Yes, yes they are. You can find one opposite

Are people comparing the Shulk(lol) face from the initial trailer to the ones from the Treehouse demos?
The Treehouse demo ones look vastly superior, just look at the character creator footage, and the close ups during a few of the cutscenes.

There's plenty to gush over: the stunning skyboxes, the unique, sprawling landscapes, the exquisitely-designed fauna, the atmosphere of primal, majestic grandeur, the dizzying sense of scale that's so effortlessly conveyed - I could go on ad infinitum (and this is speaking for a single locale). Have I seen certain of these elements in other sci-fi RPGs? Sure. Have I seen them executed so beautifully and masterfully? Absolutely not, and that's where XX distinguishes itself. I wouldn't be able to pick up any old sci-fi-themed game and expect to see the kind of artistic quality and identity we're seeing here, and to say so would be incredibly unfair to the game, I think.
I dunno, maybe it'll click with you once you play it.
Well, I wasn't lumping that with art; it was just another an aspect in which it was superior.
Thanks for this. To me, Sawano's music sounds a little more 'mature' and subtextual. It seems to have fewer melodramatic hooks so it's not quite the JRPG/Final Fantasy/Chrono Trigger/Squaresoft/Nintendo anthems that we know and love. But that's not a good or bad thing. I remain optimistic as I think it will support a darker-toned story a bit better.

second Treehouse Demo seems to be something Nintendo does not want to upload
