Fatal Frame and this game would justify my WiiU purchase if I did decide to get one. Quite frankly, I'm more excited about this than XV. Something about the things in XV's environment that just feels boring to me.

Except the chain attacks (the actual turn-based parts of Xenoblade Chronicles) are likely not going to return, unless they somehow make a plot reason for it. But from interviews it seems like they just ditched that. Everything else in Xenoblade Chronicles was real-time. It just wasn't button-mapped like an ARPG would be. 

Got a link?

If you watch the treehouse video whenever you hit the three meters you only get buffs called, "soul voices" instead of chain attacks. But also in interviews they talked many times about making combat simpler and more streamlined. The most complicated thing about Xenoblade Chronicles gameplay was chain attacks.

How were chain attacks complicated?

Agreed, what I've seen feels kind of sterile.

That question pulls my statement our of context. Chain attacks were the most complex part of Xwnoblades battle system. You needed the right skills for the right party, considering aspects like cooldown and color chaining. The normal realtime gameplay wasn't anywhere near as strategic. If you wanted to make the combat simpler and more friendly to players new to jrpgs you keep everything real time. This is something they did from what we see of the treehouse event. When the affinity gauge reaches all three lines you get buffs called soul voices rather than in Chronicles where it allowed you to chain attacks. Also certain chain attack strategies were broken so much that people chose to use them for every boss rather than other more even strategies. Topple locking comes to mind. It made the lvl120 world bosses easy.

Maybe, but it's not confirmed yet. And at any rate, its combat will still be nothing like Monster Hunter, which was his question.

Yeah, I just wanted to make it clear that turnbased gameplay was a small portion of (albeit integral to) XC's combat and that it might likely not even be in XCX, from what we've seen/heard so far. Mech fights should add variety to the gameplay though, they certainly did in Xenogears.

I want to see more of the mech combat... or maybe I don't, cos I'll probably love it more if I go in unexposed. If you know what I mean. >;)
