THIS is the type of game I would consider getting a console for, any console. I will keep an eye on this one, I will be making my console purchase in January so hopefully Nintendo can impress me with more games by then.


As for the graphics comparisons thats all crap, there are Sega fans who honestly think Dreamcast looks better than Xbox, people are nuts. Perm hit it right on the nail, my parents have an HD TV and HD cable and they still watch the SD feeds for some insane reason.

Well we had the 24 Minutes of the game in Japanese.


I haven't found a good full synopsis but:


4 Player online Quests (Note this is the same number as PSO and MonHan)
32 Player online interactions.
Mechs ala Eureka Seven (Wonder where the Gekko State is.)
April 29th Japan Launch Date
WiiU Bundle in Japan
Subdivisions.
Some sort of Resource thing.
There are 5 continents Black Steel Continent, Forgotten Canyon, Luminous Forest, Primal Wilderness, and White Tree Continent.
720p with Keyboard Support
22.7 GB and will be available in Japan with Preloading.
Looks like different text is already in English and has what the Japanese is besides.  Which setting wise makes since.




Some of it looks interesting but I need someone who know's Japanese to really weigh in.  I'm having a hard time finding good articles.

Great thing about this game? It's not a walking simulator.

I normally have nothing against people starting up threads I already started and am all for thread proliferation. But I can't abide this thread title.

Here's your Xenoblade Chronicles X thread: https://www.nintendoworldreport.com/forums/index.php?topic=41815.0

I think we can all appreciate the fact that it exists preventing this near catastrophe from happening.

The idea of 32 player passive online is intriguing enough to want to give it a shot.


Also, this is a game that definitely needed pre-loading.

Yeah the announcement of 4 Player Quests is probably done more about me getting this game then anything in the past.

The latest trailer/nintendo direct about the game has been translated and subtitled. You have to make sure closed captioning is on. There are few grammar mistakes here and there I believe.

Thank you kindly. It's not the best English, but it does the job.

Given how the video is titled "Over View / Field", we can expect more like it in the future. In fact, the next Over View will focus on the battle system. Judging from the timing of this video and the game's Japanese release, I suspect we'll see at least two more Over Views. I suspect the third one will detail the online multiplayer features.

Like clockwork, another Overview stream one month later. This one should be about the battle system.
It will be streamed on Friday, March 6th at 2200 JST. That's 0500 PST, 0800 EST.

Gessenkou and iYakku has done an English translation of the 2nd Over View video that focused on Battle:

Once again and for probably the final time, there will be another Xenoblade X promotional movie streaming on Apr. 10, 10 PM JST. That's Apr. 10, 9AM EDT, 6 AM PDT.

This promotional movie will focus on the Doll, the mecha of the series, and Network features.

Since they didn't mention this game in the Direct, I'm worried it's going to be the November release for the US. I hope it's sooner!

iYakku has uploaded a video with English subtitles for the DOLL / NETWORK promotional movie.

And subtitles for the Story trailer as well.

The is game is continuing to be within the middle of my expectations of a successor to Xenoblade Chronicles.

Two ongoing major concerns that I think will play out poorly:

1. The game attempting to break the MMORPG mold of tank-DPS-heal by shifting the healing to procs between party members (Soul Voice) still looks dangerous. While the battle video has shown that the Soul Voice set up will be editable for all party members, I wonder if that will be enough. I fear that having Soul Voice being the primary means of healing will be too obtuse or random to the point of frustration. Good on Monolith Soft in attempting to mix up the holy trinity of tank-dps-heal. But as observed with Dragon Age: Inquisition's shield and armor system, I don't know if Soul Voice will go over well with some players.

2. I see enough griping about the character design and animation that I think it is a huge barrier for some of the potential audience. The blank, doll-like faces and eyes haven't changed since early footage of the game. Adding to that, there appears to be no or very little lip-syncing at all during cut scenes. Finally, all the game animations, from the humans to the Dolls, have jerky transitions. These jerky transitions aren't uncommon in games such as World of Warcraft and Final Fantasy 14: A Realm Reborn, but Xenoblade X looks unfavorable when compared to Dragon Age: Inquisition and The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt.

Granted, the character design, look, and animation of Xenoblade Chronicles were arguably the weakest parts of that game's visuals. That Xenoblade X is not a significant improvement in this area is not outside expectations.

Still excited for this game, and I think indulging in the promotional materials has been helpful in keeping my expectations and hopes in check. Now, all I wish is that the story does not become another slaying of a God or Ancient Space Evil. It would be a pleasant change for a JRPG to end with killing some monumental, non-deity asshole.

I don't understand what you mean by "jerky transitions".

I have also never cared for the "holy trinity" of MMOs. Just because it makes sense to specialize in those three areas doesn't mean healers are necessary in a game. Sharla was extremely fun to build offensively after I realized that heals don't matter much in the Xenoblade combat systems.
I am a toxic person engaging in toxic behavior.
