Do we know anything of the game's story? Is the main character a silent piece of cardboard ala most create a character games, or is there a set personality, and you pick the body/voice of them, like FE Awakening?
Xenoblade X (Cross) releasing in 2015 (Xenoblade Chronicles X in the US)

Silent piece of cardboard from the gameplay we saw at E3.

I've gathered up all of the wildlife we've seen thus far in X, and I've attempted to translate their names:
If you spot any errors in my translations or notice that I've missed anything, let me know.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: the fauna design in this game is among the best I've ever seen - from a video game or otherwise. My favorites have to be...
...the "amphicoelias" for its dizzying size, its cephalofoil head, and those long, expanding thingamabobs on its back
...that, er... mutant reptile reindeer thing with the moss/some sort of vegetation growing on its back
...the flying thing with all those fins that makes whale noises (reminds me of a "globster" I once saw)
Also, I don't know if you guys have noticed, but the aerial animals (like those prawn-looking things, the whale-like creatures among the former, and the fin-y, whale noise-making things) all look like creatures we'd see inhabiting our waters. I half-expect to run into an alien equivalent of a megalodon when I'll be flying through the skies.
It makes you wonder, too: if the water population is out floating about, what can we expect to be swimming in the oceans?
You're amazing. <3

Amazing! I really like your in-depth posts. The stuff we can still extract from this footage is mind blowing.
I hadn't even considered this but going underwater would be so cool. Maybe there'll be a diving Doll?
The text under the Japanese logo is just the JP version of Xenoblade and the last word is Cross, hence why some people call it Xenoblade Cross. That's what it says there in Japanese.
Chronicles most likely just exists to give westerners a familiar word. "Xenoblade? What is a Xenoblade? Oh ... "Chronicles" ...might be an epic adventure?"
edit: I just realized you're referring to the original game. The Japanese under the word Xenoblade is just Xenoblade in Kanji or Katakana or whatever (can't tell them apart, sorry). Xenobureido. Chronicles is strictly for the western markets.

Specifically NA, I don't think the PAL release included Chronicles. Not sure about the new game.
Also, I think the intended pronunciation is "Cross" worldwide, but that will never stick here in NA because nobody will instinctively pronounce X "Cross." It's going to be Xenoblade Chronicles Ex.

PAL was Chronicles too, at least UK was.
Thanks, guys. Just be wary of some of those translations; I'm not confident in all of 'em.
I dunno about being bigger than the dinosaur (that thing is, no hyperbole, a walking building), but it could very well be massive. And now that I'm getting a good look at it, it sorta reminds me of a sea anemone:

EU even pimped the "Chronicles" part harder than NA.
All we know for sure is that the people localizing it are pronouncing it as "Ex" and that the Japanese says "Cross." Will be interesting to hear Iwata pronounce the English name during a Direct for the first time or something.
Here's a comparison of all logos:
ゼノブレイドクロス
ゼノブレイド = Xenoblade (Zenobureido)
クロス = Cross (Kurosu)
Rebel Leader
THE POWER OF BUTTERSCOTCH BOTTOMS
They should just call it Xenocross... how ever we have B.L.A.D.E in the game but still

Yeah that Chronicles was clearly a NoE thing.
Too much work to change the title screen back... but at least they downplayed it.

Check your gamestop. You might be surprised, and they are the only ones who can sell it in a store. It might say used, but its new, trust me. I got mine for $45 about a month ago with my power up card.

No, it's a spiritual successor and not a sequel.

I'm hoping there are other cities and civilizations to encounter. I'm a little worried that the setting may be a barren planet with only wildlife. It would suck if Neo LA is the only city, but I doubt it. Maybe we go to different planets in the game.
Pretty sure (though would need to confirm) that in the treehouse footage they refer to Neo LA as the "first town". I would be amazed if it was the only one given how Xenoblade worked.
Probably it has been posted somewhere, and we have probably guessed it before, but here is a little tidbit of how the gamepad will be used for XCX. This is from the EDGE magazine:

In the US it's not pronounced cross because Xenoblade Chronicles Cross sounds awkward. I don't know why they added the word Chronicles to the title in the first place. Should've just left it at Xenoblade.

It's pronounced Xenoblade Chronicle Sex.
They're going after the Deus Ex demographic.

Wow, onilink! Those are incredible. But my heart can't take it. Those shots are just astounding.
I loved those too. I ran into Immovable Gonzalez at level 90 or whatever, and immediately turned around and said out loud "Hey man you can be whatever you wanna be. Don't let me stop you!"

Just 97+ more hours to go! I wish I could go and discover all the amazing things for the first time again.
