The open world and sky look very Xenoblade to me, but apart from that? everything else doesn't really "feel" like xenoblade.
Are they planning to make drastic changes to the game series?



Loving the new direction and like seeing they live in a Terranigma world

They should probably change their name to The Xenoblade Team. Was really hoping to see something new from them. I think I will pass on this one, but cool if you are looking forward to it though.

Glad I'm not the only one. Took me ages to realise it was Xenoblade lol.

Not what I imagined from the next gen Xenoblade tbh. If you removed the name of the developer I wouldn't have been moved by that trailer.

It looks artistically generic and less technically ambitions than X Chronicles and Xenoblade 3. Quite disappointed at a glance.

random thought but I wonder if a large amount of the team/talent was pulled onto Ocarina of Time?

I'm just excited to see a new installment to the series is in the works. They didn't really show much of anything as far as the story or the battle mechanics. Just letting the fans know it's coming much like the OOT remake reveal. It's coming...Get hyped!



I actually think it looks very much in keeping with Xenoblade 3 in terms of style, just obviously amped up with more detail and fidelity.

Some new details:

- Yoko Shimamura is doing the music; her prior credits include the 1st Xenoblade Chronicles, Super Mario RPG, and Kingdom Hearts

- The character designers are the same ones who did Xenoblade Chronicles 3

That would actually be a banger name for a Xenoblade game.
