By the way -- this seems important -- the "Tweet" in the OP is, of course, merely an unofficial translation of a Japanese comment.

On the sister site, a very nice poster named StreetsAhead has done his own translation:

"Today I'll talk a little about the development staff. Yuichiro Takeda is the main writer for this games' script, following on from his work on Xenoblade Chronicles for the Wii. He's written a more heavy sci-fi story for us this time, compared to the previous games' classical fantasy."

Nothing about the plot in X being deeper or Xenoblade being basic by comparison. So, we might have 9 pages of overreactions on our hands here.

Why are you so insistent on Xenoblade X being bad? 

You should quote me anywhere on the site that I said Xenoblade X would be bad.  I said just because the game is said to have a long or deep storyline doesn't mean the story will be good.  Not saying it'll be bad either, but Nintendo fans are making posts like it's goingi to have the best story in the world and you've seen what, at most a couple minutes of story footage about what might be 20 hour game excluding side content?

Quote anyone that said it will have the best story in the world.

Ask me about Smash Bros, Wind Waker, or Metroid Other M some time.

But more to the point, why does people having a positive outlook on an upcoming title get you so worked up?

That's a minority opinion to have on most of those. But why not keep it closer to home? Monolith made Disaster: Day of Crysis, and that one was far from perfect.

Xenoblade will be the whole feast.

Doesn't matter if it's a minority, he claimed every Nintendo fan praisded every Nintendo game as  perfection, which is a blatant falsehood.

And I never played Disaster Day of Crisis so I cannot comment.
