Forums - Nintendo - Xenoblade's story "basic" compared to X, main script writer returning, other details

Hype is overloading.



Around the Network

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

"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.

this is getting better each time they say something...

Having a deep story more or less means that they're going to have more story.  Doesn't really mean it'll be good.  It could turn out badly with a ton of storyline shoved down the players throat that they have no interest in.

Final Fantasy 13 has a deep story and it's a pos.  FF13-2's is even worse.  Just throwing that out there.

In the case of Xenogears though, it worked for it.  There was so much plot and narrative in Xenogears that despite it being tiring occassionally it made the game that much more special.  Well that and the characters were awesome.

 

That aside, the link that the_dengel put out about XCX analysis has now made me very hyped for this game.

And it's not because of the analysis either.  Takahashi, through what he and Monolith Soft faced in the recent Tokyo earthquakes have gained a stronger resolve as is clear by their constant determination.

They are very emotionally invested in XCX, and that my friends can't get any better for the game itself.

ok, then show us a trailer that indicates that. so far you've presented your game like a successor of the star ocean series, which isn't exactly, what i would consider, storyheavy.

There is no doubt this game will be the a great appetizer of the JRPG on current gen games before Final Fantasy XV and other great title to come in the future. :)

This game is more than a mere apetizer.

The mere fact that we haven't heard much of the story beyond the beginning basically says it all.

In the case of Xenosaga 2 it didn't work.  The storyline was garbage.  See what I did there?
