"deep sci-fi" though?
The original science fiction stories dealt with how new possibilities through advances in technology would change how we as humans saw ourselves, and by extension how society would adapt to these views. They usually served as metaphorical political warnings for the contemporaries in powerful positions.
I'm not sure from watching the trailers for X that these are the themes I expect to see come through.
I expect there to be a lot of escapism and wish fulfillment going on, with some thin legged overarching political ideas to be in place to support a traditional Japanese story of radical individualism versus the power of community and self-sacrifice.
But I could stand being surprised. |
Watch this.

For those who watch Attack on Titan, how's the music? Cos the same composer is working on X. |
Like this.

Why did you cut to half-way into the song, the build up is part of the journey! :P
Excellent music though, no doubt exploring is going to be an absolute joy coupled with the soundtrack.
I very much enjoyed Xenoblade's story, the way it progressed and how all the little side stories affected everyone you encountered. These words of a deep sci-fi story sound promising, I just hope I can avoid spoilers with the Japanese release being earlier in the year.
