Huge info list incoming. Let me know if it's fomatted like a wall of text!
Started off with the cut scene that we’ve seen before. The one that introduces the game’s story about the crash landing, the formation of New Los Angeles, and Elma finding Cross (that’s the main character’s name right)?
2 minutes in and there is confirmation that cats are in this game. So there’s that
Showed off the city life in New Los Anglese. Looks pretty decent
Showed off JRPG song with English lyrics. Hopefully this mean English localization is well underway!
The people in the city life seem to have decent AI. They interact with each other in basic levels like in Sim games. Gives me a Grand theft auto vibe. (Disclaimer last grand theft auto I played was vice city)
Showed off the the people that are helping to rebuild new Los Angeles. Shows off their base and the armory that makes machines.
These people belong to an organization called Blade. I think they're the ones in charge of buidling New Los Angeles. Briefly show info of classes. Showed a picture of interceptors class.
Talking about finding life/survivors in the planet and how BLADE is searching the planet to look for survivors who made onto the planet. Seem to gain life points for finding survivors? Wish I knew Japanese!
Showing off the GamePad’s Map screen:
There’s light shine brightly on the game’s world if you mark. Perhaps because you mark it on the GamePad’s screen. So this is where Zelda U got the light marking on map to game world idea.
You can dig into the earth with a machine to find treasure or perhaps more underground (looks like it was treasure). Looks like finding treasure in Windwaker’s great ocean. Not sure if it’s control like it but it seems fairly basic.
A lot of honeycomb visual of map. Over world map is split into hundreds of honeycomb shapes. These seem to represent landmarks (THEY DO look below to find out more!) and each one has a color and icon assigned to it for labeling purpose.
It still says Suceeded when you accomplish things. Hoorary for Japanese Engrish!
NPC have basic voice acting
They covered quests and showed a quest log menu briefly. Too bad I can’t read Japanese lol But it looks very similar to Xenoblade’s quest menus. The message/menu that tells you when you finished the quest looks exactly the same
Looks like Affinity is back. But you can even build affinity between individual NPC characters. Direct only showed affinity between NPCs in New Los Angeles. But to be fair, this place looks very big and alive.
Direct has been filled with songs in vocals with English lyrics sung by Japanese. The vocals aren’t amazing but not terrible. The instrumentation is great though.
A wild Noppon appeared! Talking about how tall the mountains are in this game.
- Noppon has pretty good fur texture
Map overwold information below!
- There’s a blue colored light filled area similar to the one in Xenoblade. I believe it’s near Myrth sea and High Entia. Xenoblade fans will know what I’m trying to describe. It looks just as amazing in the art department but with the HD texture and sheen!
- there’s a huge desert. And a huge rib cage carcass of a dead creature!
- a huge and beautiful snow place with ice and water.
- a beautiful volcano place that has charred land. But there’s also a huge bridge meaning settlement is has been established? But it’s so far North from New Los Angeles!
- Landmarks return from Xenoblade
- Game still rewards you exp for exploring caves like Xenoblade
- You can find landmarks that provide SUPERB VIEW and the game will inform you as such with a special “Landmark explored!”
-So you know how the map of the game is completely split into hundreds of honeycomb shapes on the maps screen for the GamePad? Well those honeycombs are landmarks and like in Xenoblade you can fast travel to every single landmark. And this game’s world map is split into HUNDREDS of honeycombs shapes.
- The game allows you to enjoy the beauty of the game’s over world with a nice bird eye view camera from where you’re at in the game. You get a camera item that does this. This camera can transition into a normal first person view camera, but you can pan from anywhere. Think of it like a toy helicopter that has limitless pan movement in the vertical space. Because this camera is an item, you can use it anytime in the game. It pause the game, so you’re looking at still images so enemies won’t move around and neither would the game when this camera is activated. All in all, this camera feature will be great for Miiverse picture posting!
Mech information below!
- Showing off a red one that can be bipedal, a car, and can fly
OMG THERE ARE TINY FLOATING ISLANDS TO EXPLORE
- or at least I noticed one. The mech in the direct didn’t bother to check it out.
- You can ride on top of water in the car transformation!
Creature info below
- There ae multiple large (and I mean large) enemies appearing on the screen while you move around and the frame rate looks smooth
- The best monster design I’ve seen (and there are many) are these two blue dragons! Yes there’s dragons in this game! :-O
OMG The Monster animation is great! It looked absolutely terrifying when a large enemy in the direct charged upon Cross and his party in the desert. That thing was huge AND quick!
The highest level monster seen in the direct so far is a level 70 creatures that’s pretty huge!
There’s a large snake dwelling monster in a desert that can pop up without notice! Animation looked amazing!
Showing off alien races
- Introduced with a fashionable, male tiger-like creature with blue hair that sounds stuck up
- it talks but I don’t know Japanese
- Desert cretaures that look like the pod racers in Star Wars. The tiny ones that Anakin races in Episode 1
- Noppon doesn’t like them in the direct
- Hostile Aliens have visited New Los Angeles. Direct shows their ship ominously hovering over New Los Angeles
- These aliens appear to have futuristic guns. Reminds of the plasma gun in Fallout New Vegas. Hell this game is giving me a Fallout New Vegas x Grand Theft Auto vibe with all the races and city life in New Los Angeles (haven’t played 3)
Looks like there’s a deal for Xenoblade X where you can download it a day earlier for Japan.
Advertising Xenoblade for 3DS now lol. Japan gets a Xenoblade soundtrack if they preorder it.
There making a special Xenoblade X bundle with the Wii U deluxe included for Japan.
- Contains game, art book and a special credit card with Xenoblade theme on it. Not bad!
That's all I got from the direct!
