Could 2015 be the Year of Xenoblade?

I sincerely wish. JRPGs need to make a comeback and NOW!
They can cut through the decay that is the stagnant FPS genre.

In saying that, no. The game wont be a next heavy hitter for Nintendo. Nintendo simply saw that there was interest in Xenoblade so they put Shulk in Smash to drive sales much like Marth and Roy did for Fire Emblem when they appeared in Melee. And putting the first game on New 3DS will boost interest too.

Again, I would really like a new Xeno game every 2-3 years. With some other JRPGs revitalised.

They should work with Konami and get the Suikoden series exclusive! Managing 108 characters from the touch screen would be amazing! Also controlling the army on army battles (just those sections of the game mind you) could be like Civilization where you tap your units and drag them to the enemy unit you want to fight. I think it'd be great. The gamepad could be used in SO many ways it'd be ridiculous. Or why not team up with Square-Enix and make a console Crystal Chronicles X Xenoblade Chronicles. Tell me people wouldn't be excited for that! The gameplay would be exactly like the Crystal Chronicles for the DS was. It had a great control scheme and utilized the second screen very well.

Anyways, as you said about Xenoblade X, there is interest. It's all going to be about HOW they manage the series to really tell if it will be a heavy hitter. I just think the interest is there enough that it COULD. 

Sadly, I dont think there is enough interest. Majority of western gamers dont care for JRPGs anymore, was a big reason why the genre died late PS2/early PS3 gen. Hopefully Xenoblade X ignites the genre again though.

 

As for your game ideas? All good. The gamepad could be used for any RTS game though. Get Battalion Wars back, with a mix of micromanagement and fast paced war action.

Id rather just a new Crystal Chronicles on Wii U, with massive online pls!!!
