Also another news which should probably pleases those who played the game before and don't wanna redo the whole thing again to get to the epilogue.

It's confirmed accessible right from the beginning. No need to do a whole playthrough !

That's... weird. But very convenient

NICE! While I will play the remake again. I may start with this as I did finish the original a few times. Oh man, the one thing I worry about is rebuilding colony 6 again. God that was a pain in the ass.  I normally love quests like that but you could not go back to areas so if you missed some rare drop, too bad. Hopefully, they fix that this time. At least let me buy item drops from shops.

I didn't get to play Xenoblade when it came out, so I'm looking forward to seeing what all the hype is about. I actually already own Xenoblade Chronicles 2, so I guess I should get around to playing that finally before the remake comes out.

Play it after you play the remake. Ties in better this way. Not 100% needed but it is better to do for spoiler reasons. Add Torna to the list. Torna is short but best played after 2. That one for sure has to be played after 2.

So it seems like you have to download most of the 2K games when buying the physical version. God I hate this practice. Might still get the Bioshock Collection, but man does it suck.

And they wonder why many people (me included) stopped buying their games lol.

I was afraid of Nintendo censoring the few times where actual blood appears on screen. Thankfully, upon closer inspection of the new footage, that seems to not be the case:

That's nice but I doubt it'll be substantial enough on it's own to be worth $60 to me. That you can seemingly only use Shulk n Melia makes it seem like it won't be that expansive. I may get it down the line after a price drop/sale though.

Damn, nice move, I am almost tempted to grab the game now just for Future Connected. Probably not a smart move though even disregarding length, its quality may not live up to the original game. Given how much I adore Xenoblade I also worry it may mess it up story-wise kinda like the Burial At Sea expansion did for Bioshock Infinite.

Not gonna lie, if Future Connected is just Shulk and Melia that'd make it a lot less interesting to me, Melia was my least favourite of Xenoblade's main playable cast.

Same, I feel they could use this definitive edition to rewrite part of Melia's character, but I fear they'll double down on my issues with her in Future.
