I have no interest in Xenoblade.

Also the guy on the right forebodes alot to me about the Last Story. He's flameboyant, has alot of belts, has an overstylized sword. This may be heading in the wrong direction.

You can never have too many belts.  In fact, I'm wearing 6 right now.

Some details of The Last Story here. http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2010/04/09/last_story_hero_and_heroine/

 

I'll post some of them:

The director (still unidentified) confirms that the characters depicted in the illustration are the main character and heroine.

"There is a wall between the two," he writes. Based off the director's comments, it seems that there's something keeping the two apart and unable to live their dreams together.

The director also writes that in The Last Story, there will be a number of other stories besides the story of these two characters. He mentions:

  • The fear of speaking your true feelings
  • The mystery of the father who went missing on boat
  • The difficulty a leader has in making decisions
  • The close accomplice who's turned to evil
  • The foolish archaeologist's prison break

Concludes the director, "It's ..................

 



Why don't you make like a tree and get out of here?

Here's some pictures of Xenoblade.

Not sure what the source is. (mag scan, etc.)



"We'll toss the dice however they fall,
And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

No hotlinking apparently, outlawauron

It does seem that Xenoblade's graphical deficiencies seem to be lost in the vast sense of scale, so the game ends up looking really good in play, just not in the story scenes and such. Perhaps they should have opted for CG cutscenes.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

If you don't wear one of them on your hand, foot or neck it doesn't count!



Bet with Dr.A.Peter.Nintendo that Super Mario Galaxy 2 won't sell 15 million copies up to six months after it's release, the winner will get Avatar control for a week and signature control for a month.

I'm wearing two on my neck, and one on each hand and foot.  I might actually decide to put one around my waist, but that seems so predictable.

Welcome to JRPGs.

Wouldn't any Xenogears fan?

Monolith said that "in prior games we were focusing on the story, that didn't work lol! so now we're making a game that goes 'back to the roots of the genre' ".

It seems to me like they want to throw away anything that made prior games great, and so, unless i'm proven wrong (by the game having a great plot) I refuse to get my expectations high for this one.

 
What that means is instead of focusing a huge amount of time on cutscenes it'll have more gameplay and adventure and stuff to do. Of course it'll still have a good story, that's an important part in an RPG and don't Takahashi/Soraya Saga write good stories anyway?

Listen, I know what you're saying, but you can't have a story as good as Xenogears/Xenosaga without having that many cutscenes, and I don't know how you define a "good" story anyway :P

omg why are the pictures 8.39 & 6.52 MegaBYTES each??

wow @ the scale of this game!!! it's amazing how far the distance goes in that field shot (second pic) you can even see part of the giant/god behind the clouds

my main concern is the main character who looks weird/not very good, the character design for this game (Xenoblade) isn't as good as others i've seen
