Xenoblade Chronicles 3D and what it means for the main Pokemon games going forward.

Knew this would be a spem thread.

Bravely Default and Etrian Odyssey and Fire Emblem should also switch to a behind-the-back third-person perspective with real-time combat because it's technically possible.

By the way playing Xenoblade on a 3DS looks like a painful squinting exercise.

I never said that the combat would be real time, and none of those games have the type of interconnected open world that Pokemon does where an accurate comparison can be made to Xenoblade. A people who've played the game say it looks great, not that that matters because the sequel console will obviously have a higher resolution and pixel density than the New 3DS.
