So... is this Wii U's first "WOW" game? I say so.


Have you ever played Xenoblade?


Yes. Xenoblade is my 2nd favorite game of all time, actually. Xenoblade is also not a Wii U game, so I wouldn't call it Wii U's first "WOW" game. Unless that's not what you're implying.

No what I was implying was that Xenoblade is an awesome game and X looks just like it in HD. And I wouldn´t call Xenoblade a "WOW" game just because it is different then most JRPG´s 


Can't agree there. X looks like a major revamp in gameplay and graphics, at the least. X features incredible draw distances and exceptional environmental detail that I believe goes far beyond what Xenoblade would look like in HD, and it appears to have a much more active and exciting approach to combat along with exploration.

Now, I would call Xenoblade a "WOW" game not because it's different than most JRPGs. I would consider it a "WOW" game because it's very unlike any game I've ever seen. I haven't seen or heard of a more interesting game world. I haven't seen a game reward and encourage exploration as much as Xenoblade. It's straight-up phenominal and I wish other games across other genres would exhibit at least a fraction of Xenoblade's smart design and creativity. Xenoblade demonstrates what I always wanted from the Wii (and Wii U) - a system where good ideas are king, not shiny graphics.

But a "WOW" game doesn't mean perfection. I have a laundry list of improvments I'd like to see in a Xenoblade successor. And so far, X is just about what I was hoping for, if not much more. I'm going to go watch the trailer for the tenth time.

It's a WoW game, it literally is WoW in single player mode that you can finish. Yep, single player World of Warcraft, yep.


That too. It gets rid of the thing I dislike about WoW - other players - and in this new game, replaces them with what I assume will be a group of online buddies I handpick to help me out whenever the AI (or my own skill) doesn't live up to the task.

You almost got me started on a rant about how I feel about MMORPGs in general. Be careful. Such a post might break VGChartz.

Looks good don't it? 

Mang Xenoblade was such a good game. Monolith is up there for my all-time favorite devs, but they have yet to prove themselves. This game gonna be the test.

God I just keep watching the trailer again and again.

Yes, it looks really good. And not just the graphics.

This game seems like something I could actually play and enjoy. It seems very adventurous and it has the aspects of FFXIII (From what I saw in the trailer. These aspects seem improved in this game.) that I liked. This game is really exciting. (You might not get the feeling that it reminds you of FFXIII but for some reason I do...)

I think you're right. It has combat somewhat comparable to FFXIII in design and overall flashyness, but it seems much more open.

I wonder if this'll be TOO Japan centric for the Western market...

Have you played Xenoblade yet? It's a very good game. You should try it if you ever find the opportunity.

oHMYGODTHATLOOKSAMAZING!

Xenoblade with mechs. I know this has been said 50 million times, but that idea is just everything I love about Japan.
