"Xenoblade Chronicles’ core thrust is centered around its story, but Xenoblade Chronicles X is shaping up to be a game with more focus placed on action elements that take advantage of the open world instead of the story aspects."

This will piss off a lot of people. The action was fine in XBC, but he's fooling himself if he thinks people weren't playing XBC in spite of the combat. Hope the story is up to snuff. I don't want this being the Wii U's Destiny.

Well, Takahashi once stated this though. http://www.siliconera.com/2014/11/25/xenoblade-chronicles-x-will-deep-sci-fi-story/

He described the Wii game's story as basic, and mentioned that X's would be deeper. He's just contradicting himself there. So, in short, dunno what to believe. 

He also more recently said that there needs to be a balance between story and gameplay. One shouldn't outweigh the other.

 

And I've actually been saying this for a while. People going in expecting Xenoblade's story will not quite get that.
