XenobladeX |Import OT| Discovery of Superb View: http://youtu.be/HgIXNOEv_40

I'll be honest, I don't even know what that means XD

It means the same thing is always means. People are grasping at straws, hoping like hell that Xenosaga or Xenogears or whatever it'd be now can become a "thing" that lasts for the 6 episodes presumably planned not once, but twice.

Honestly, I don't see it ever happening, and I'm puzzled as to why people can't let it go and let Xenoblade be what Xenoblade is.

I really wish someone would make a separate spoiler thread. >.>

I want to check out the OT on occasion since I'm curious about general impressions, but every page is littered with spoiler bars.
I gave that idea on the closed thread, but we reached the conclusion that its kinda too soon? Specially since we dont really have a release date over here. Spoiler threads make people weak haha
But we can discuss it again, if the thing gets too out of hand.

Shit shit shit SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT I accidentally read part of a spoiler cause I just clicked on a spoiler tag on instinct, It doesn't exist, I didn't read that ,i don't even know what I'm talking about, I don't even know why am I here, but it should be fine, everything is fine, I forgot it already, it's forgotten I didn't read anything.

Heh, just go play Xenogears now, specially the second part. It's so text heavy to oblivion you'll be sure to forget everything.

Anyone who's playing the game, have you been able to figure out when you can change your character again? Dengeki review says that after clearing a certain quest you have the option to re-customize your character freely at any time.

So someone finally started ripping some songs from the streams ~

UH UH YEAAAH Damn after 1:16 this one is so goooood :)

Best song in the game AKA BLADE Headquarters

Primordia Day theme

He is playing with fire really, Sawano songs are known for being incredibly heavy copyrighted, but we will see. Anyway I thank him a lot, because I needed this on my life (since I cant play the game) T_T

Hell yes!

Start chapter 9. Elma
really is the protagonist I'd say
. XD

Like foxuzamaki said, cool, I'm good with this.
 
First area, and already known songs are my max spoiler level.

Pretty much the same, I'm trying to hold myself back from hitting a lot of the spoiler tags lol, maybe a bit further through that Twitch with the guy that actually provided some translation about what was happening.
We need that US release date...

I have linked to the Spoiler Thread in the OP (Elma tells you to go there now).

So please move ALL spoiler discussions over there.

Loving the mist in those Primordia shots that Chadboban posted. Makes the air feel warm and sticky.

That's just leftover N64 fog because it's running on N64++ hardware. Dat downgrade, ya know? ;)

lol stop projecting what you think people are doing.

I need this game so bad... planning on taking the week off from work just to play once it gets its American release. The original is still my favorite game of the 2010's, so I have a lot of lofty expectations with this game.
 
It's CERO C in Japan, which would be the equivalent of a T-rating for the ESRB.


Just watched the ending in one of the streams
when I think about it that butt is nothing worst than a Fairy Queen in Zelda which always gets a T rating

I just don't want changes


Spoiler after credits:

"this story is never ending"

what a strange thing to write after credits

I am HYPED
kinda knew Elma would turn out like this she looks like the Elf girl with the giant that has been shown yet I have not seen her in streams

Ah, that's right. Reminds me of the Iwata Asks on the game:



IWATA: Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug!

(Takahashi taps out)

(Iwata flips Takahashi back on his feet)

TAKAHASHI: What the hell. There was vodka in that keg.

IWATA: What do you say now, sugar-tits? Want to go back to my place?

TAKAHASHI: For the millionth time, no!

(everyone laughs)

(Iwata frowns)

TAKAHASHI: I would like to talk about the graphics.

IWATA: Sure. The graphics sure are impressive. How did you achieve them?

TAKAHASHI: As you know, we were using a Nintendo 64 with a Game Boy Color taped to it. What the market calls the WiiU.

IWATA: That is correct. The Game Boy Color is taped to the side of the N64. We used a pocket dimension to fit them inside the WiiU.

TAKAHASHI: Correct. However, the Game Boy Color was not enough extra power.

IWATA: What?! (Iwata hops on the table)

TAKAHASHI: That's right. It was quite the bottleneck. We thought we would have to downgrade the graphics from how they were in our prototype, which had a Game Boy Color -and- a Game Boy Pocket taped to a Nintendo 64.

IWATA: (perched on Takahashi's shoulder) Whatever did you do?

TAKAHASHI: We had to make some drastic cuts. Lynn no longer has armor on her under-boob, for starters.

IWATA: (cradled in Takahashi's lap) I see.

TAKAHASHI: However, I feel the game is more focused now. Under-boob freed up resources that allowed us to fit in more dinosaurs, and more moons.

IWATA: Ah, the rigors of game development. When faced with the limitations of a Game Boy Color rather than a Game Boy Color plus a Game Boy Pocket, your team rose to the occasion through sheer hard work and determination, translating passion into painstakingly trimmed undergarments, and allowing you to realize your vision of Planet Mira without compromising the scope of the project.

TAKAHASHI: That is correct... Wait, what the hell are you doing.

(everyone laughs)

Hope risen. (I should get the hell out of here before I spoil myself beyond vague hints)
Just waiting for release day so I can get a Wii U for this. Hopefully this game's launch does well enough that Nintendo brings over Monolith Soft's next game without much delay at all. After all, at least how they are handling Xenocross is better than what happened with Xenoblade.

Oh dear god I'm crying! Everything about this is so good! My favorite part is how Iwata is at a different location and in a different position every time he starts a sentence.
 
First impression... controls feel a bit weird. Can't get the camera to move how I want it to.

Not terrible, just feels weird.

Also, sucks that it seems to be impossible to get audio from the gamepad unless you're in "off-TV" mode.

No way! I've been dreaming of playing at night with headphones in blasting those atmospheric environmental themes.... :'(

That said, I have a copy of Xenogears and I never played the game...

I could totally play until we get a fucking release date.

Yeah, sorry for swearing, but that release date, my body needs it.
