Forums - Gaming - Xenoblade Chronicles X Looks Good

The original Xenoblade was one of the best games of last gen in my book, and this looks like it could be even better with the addition of the dolls and various mechanical, conceptual, and technical refinements.

The real test will be if it can provide as compelling a world to explore as the original, as interesting a story, and as epic a soundtrack.

The combat does not interest me whatsoever. I think we're headed for a generation of Monster Hunter RPGs. The 'open world' looks kind of barren but the background design and art makes up for that. I like how the areas are much different, especially the purple hellish looking place.

90% of that video did very little for me, until the last few minutes where it showed characters doing story-centered things. THAT is what interests me about Japanese RPGs. Most of the character models look perfectly fine to me (except the one that looks like Micheal Jackson) and I really don't care if the textures aren't "next gen" or not.

Disclaimer: keep in mind that I am not a fan of mecha, so the "BUT MECHA!!" argument does nothing for me at all.

But but but Hirano Sawayuki as a composer, Attack of Titan, Guilty Crown, Aldnoah Zero

Can you expand by what you mean by this in the context of this game? 



Man oh man all these awesome trailers and pictures from all these great upcoming games; it's a good time to be alive!

Can we get a goddamn release date already!?

Hell, I'd take a localized trailer at this point! 


Exactly! Nintendo of America and Europe are probably saying that we're doing just fine with reading up on the Japanese Directs and trailers, that they won't need to do anything else in English, haha.

Seriously, I feel it's about time to release some English info pretty soon. A release date might come with that at E3 with probably a new trailer included.

This game's mechanics are nothing like monster hunter.

I can't wait for the game to come out so that we finally know from the credits who's the character designer roflmao


Yeah, I hate to say it, but it can`t really be denied that one of the shortcomings to this game are the character models, mostly their faces... : /

Outside of the doll-esk art style (which creeps me out), i think the models themselves are fine. I personally have more of an issue with their facial animations.

Yeah, the models aren't bad, but I remember my impressions of them being a bit on the long, thin side. Maybe that was just the women models, or my memory of them have been kinda scewed since it was some time ago they showed the different clothing options.
