I wouldn't call Tachikoma's response a random comment.

The plot is not bloated. Hmm, am tempted to put in another pre-order but that would be silly. Like Kotaku.

I think it's almost a certainty that Tachi's spent more time analysing it than any other reviewer, or gamer.
JRPGs and wRPGs are two different genres so I'm not sure it's fair to compare XCX and Witcher 3.
Witcher 3 certainly did raise the bar in terms of side quests and makes the vast majority of RPG side missions look like basic filler (which I guess they are). But I have different expectations when playing a jRPG to a wRPG.
It would be a shame if they do compare it and review it based on what The Witcher 3 is.... Seems totally unfair for a different type of game.
It'll probably be amazing though, everyone has their own opinion, but a Kotaku writer who doesn't even like RPGs to begin with, doesn't point at much.

There aren't 12 missions. This has been clarified numerous times in this thread. |
People are also claiming the author hated Xenoblade, but that's still repeated.
People don't often read full threads (not a VGC thing), so clarifications made after the fact often go missed. That's how joke threads are successful. I believe your work for NTH should have shown that.

I'm not arguing otherwise.
That's why I don't like threads like these because they devolve quickly no matter the intention of the TC. And right, I love joke threads for that reason.

I don't see how disliking the first title has any barring on this discussion. It's only being used by apologists to combat negative feedback by one person. I dislike Xenosaga II's combat. Did that stop me from loving Xenosaga III? No it didn't.
In addition, I also did some further research. It's been stated in many forums the plot is shorter with twelve narrative missions.
I'll be back in this thread at launch with a post. It might be to apologize or it'll be to throw this in peoples face. I'm sorry but the word of one person doesn't outdo that of many.

Thanks for your contribution. However, both are open world RPGs and I feel that XCX in particular is very similar to WRPGs in terms of design (bar mechs, sci-fi and anime themes). I feel players and reviewers will take note of these similarities and thus make comparisons regardless of those labels.
I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime.
The NX will be a 900p machine
