I wouldn't be too worried about placing probes. You can always change what type they are pretty easy. Think of it as a mini Civilization game inside of X.

 

[Moze]

Anyone know if there is an option to make text abit bigger? I know it is unlikely.

 

[QFNS]

People talking about playing it in bed, I'm not sure you can play XBCX in bed. I think the game pad won't show the field screen. It shows a map and sons other things that he'll in fast travel, but not the actual game field.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Has anyone been able to move their Limited Edition order to in-store pick-up at Best Buy?

ksdfjsd I just turned on my WiiU gamepad and now they're advertising xenoblade X, the advert has such a cool design I want to keep it on my screen forever D:

Saw that as well.

GameXplain Q&A said you can play entirely from the gamepad. There's just a lot of screen tabbing involved if you do.

Where at? Not seeing that, even loaded up the eShop, don't see anything being advertised other than the data packs.

Monolith already stated that they made the off-tv option.

Looking through the menues... no, I don't think so. It's quite readable on the GamePad though (playing Off-TV). On my SDTV: Not so much.

This and starting the game more or less requires a TV.

My Gamepad home button was blinking blue while it was off and I clicked it.

no spoilers short gameplay clip

I used to do this against Reckless Godwin in Exile Fortress. You lead them towards the door and make sure the door shuts properly. They can't attack you but you can attack them.

Wow, I just found out that Takahashi-san was the man behind that wonderful Final Fantasy VI opening sequence where magiteks march towards Narshe:

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2...the-man-behind-xenoblades-breathtaking-worlds

This part makes me very happy.

Takahashi turned 50 earlier this month. It's a milestone that appears not to have dulled his irrepressible ambition. "My goals still lie ahead of me," he says, defiantly. "I feel like now that Xenoblade Chronicles X is done I'm finally standing on the start line." He has no plans to retire or even, as he put it to Iwata last year, to move away from the practicalities of game design. "Something I've felt recently is that a lot of people of our generation have taken on roles as producers, and that they've actually been too hasty to distance themselves from the actual game development process," he said at the time. "If you look at films or animation, people in their fifties or sixties remain very active. If we retire from actually making games, that spirit of craftsmanship won't be handed down to the next generation. That's why I think it's better that we maintain a hands-on role in the game development process."

This is very similar to Miyamoto's thoughts on the matter. It really seems Nintendo attracts the moat passionate people to them.

Miyamoto hasn't directed a project since 1999, though. I want to say he's been mainly taken on producer roles since then.

So amazon talking about delivery on the 8th (CE)..? The hell

 

[Ooccoo]

I thought he was directing Star Fox Zero, but he's not.

OOT is considered one of the best games of all time. Why can't he work on Zelda again? I know it's all about Aonuma now, but still.

I'd rather see Koizumi direct another 3D Zelda game instead of Miyamoto.

Thanks for checking. Shame there is no option, but i guess most of the menus with small text can be viewed on the gamepad?

I want to believe I'll be able to survive those extra four days. Made it almost three years already, what an extra half week?

e: also Wii version on Dolphin if your PC can handle it. It's pretty fucking amazing in HD.

Indeed it does. I attached the images as thumbnails cause they're uncompressed PNGs downscaled from 4k to 1080p.

 

[Starwolf_UK]

This is probably a dumb question, but if I get one, can I plug the LAN adapter in one of the front USB ports? The SSD takes both of the back USB ports.

I don't see why it shouldn't work. I have my HDD plugged into the front USB ports with the LAN adapter in a back port. I might put USB keyboard into the other back port.

Awesome. Thanks for linking this. I've had a general idea about the multiplayer from bits and pieces here and there, but the way it's laid out here actually makes it sound better than I expected. I just hope it has a fair amount of variety in the missions.

This one really is my favorite.

Also if you were interested in the X hardcover guide on Amazon the time to order is now!

I just picked it up for $16 and change by using the coupon code HOLIDAY30. Really can't beat that price. Code is only good for the next day or so I think. Books only.
