This game legitimately scares me. A world that big... welp. I'll really have to prepare myself before I jump in.

Honestly, seeing this game... and the first Xenoblade, I just can't take other JRPGs claiming to be "open world" seriously. Monolith Soft has the support of Nintendo, sure, but a lot of this seems to just be Takahashi's amazing vision and the passion of everyone at Monolith Soft.

Well, there are games with bigger landmasses out there. So it's not like the size is breaking any new ground. It's just what you do on that map that will cancel all your real life plans. :D

Thanks! Though ironically you missed the general info table right at the start where it mentions Pro Controller support ;)

X is probably the largest handcrafted open world game out there tho.

Now starts the real wait, the hard one I mean, when you know some people using a different language can play the whole game...somewhere out there.

I am drowning in jealousy.

ARGH, how did I even listened to the whole song while reading this thread and writing this post. It's not even related, yet feels legit. D:

Wonderful OT. Thank you for the info. I haven't been keeping up-to-date on Xenoblade X and still wasn't quite sure how the multiplayer (if any) was going to work. Very pleased to see that 4-player co-op is confirmed.

That's what I meant, really. Plenty of games have claimed to have wide, open worlds. What makes the difference is making that world interesting. I remember running past locations dozens of times in Xenoblade only to later notice a hidden path or the entrance to a cave I hadn't picked up on before. Just the way the landscapes are shaped... it's like a real, actual adventure. It still blows my mind to this day. So many other open world games have stale, boring worlds full of invisible walls that are more about looking than actually interacting.

This is looking more and more like my dream game. I love exploring more than anything in gaming; trying to temper my expectations, but I'm starting to expect it to be one of my personal all-time favorites (that sounds tempered, right?).

I am totally okay with this being the Wii U's big holiday game in the West. It looks absolutely worthy of the attention, and I won't mind a little space between the Wii U's two biggest open-world games.

Neiteio-senpai finally noticed me but I was AFK. :C

I'm glad everyone has been enjoying my video! It was fun to work on and I was inspired the moment I saw the opening scene during Treehouse Live.

Elma: "What is it"

PC: "Not a fucking clue, Neiteio is much better at writing these than this guy"

Elma: "..."

What's with so many of the avatars having random strands of hair sticking out at weird angles? My OCD makes me just want to snip them... and they aren't even proper anime-styled spikes, either; they just look like the character forgot to comb properly...

I think there's an option to modify ONE tuft of hair in every single hair style. You're probably seeing that option in action.

Hey, man, WiiU gotta make something look like its not from the PS2 era! Learned from Destiny
and every game ever on the other consoles except 3DWorld and W101 and Captain Toad.
