Dude I screamed when I saw the tweet about it. I fucking adore Xenoblade X, and actually just finished the first Xenoblade and was wondering if they'd ever rerelease this. I am so so excited.
To me, X is one of the strongest of the games. It's the first Xeno to truly bring back the essence that came from the first Xenogears game, in how it mixes human and mech combat together. Another thing is, while not the strongest of character-based stories, it is one of the strongest in overall Science Fiction Plot of the group. The places this game's story arc takes the player of the game, is something so wild outside of what NeverEnding Story wanted to do. Not only one of the best plot twists in fiction, the fact that they didn't stop at 1, in doing so. My favorite aspect of X, outside the gameplay, atmosphere, and challenges within, is how the game manages to refresh itself, over and over again, not simply in how it layers more stuff into itself, but how you change over the course of the game, effectively changing the game. Still, right from the beginning, the scale of the game is crazy. It not only looks like a living "YES" album cover art, the very first creatures you are introduced to, your entire character is not even as big as one of their toenails. There are a lot of secrets to find in Xenoblade Chronicles X, and I didn't even fully 100% it and it took me 120 hours to finish it, the first time. But the true magic of Xenoblade Chronicles X, is the way they hide most of the greatest secrets of the game you play in, right in plain sight. You just can't "see" them yet. With your eyes, yes. But that's it.
The atmosphere of this game is literally perfect. You get sucked into the world so easily. Exploration is easily the best in any open world game in existence, combat is fast and snappy and HIGH skill ceiling. Then of course, the music is insanely good. Uncontrollable still being top tier to this day.
@@shigerumiyamoto9612 I think it took me like 40-45 ish hours into the game to get the Skel. If I remember correctly there's a set of submissions you have to do that aren't technically part of the mainline quests. I remember having to go out of my way to get it but I don't know if the game even forces you to get one. 🤔
Yes the soundtrack is a blast with tons of banger hits. Can't wait to rock out to Uncontrollable while trying to defeat aka survive an encounter with a Tyrant-Class Enemy.
I am so excited to finally get to play this one. I never had a Wii-U so I missed it initially, but I have heard about it for years now and it always sounded like exactly my kind of game.
I literally installed it on my hacked Wii U yesterday after waiting 10 hours for it to install and working out all the bugs and then this morning I see this.
Xenoblade Chronicles X feels like a game Monolith Soft made as their own spin on Star Ocean. Instead of having a post apocalyptic setting with technology, they instead have it set in a sci fi world with technology but with a "Lost in Space" setting. Like pioneers looking for a new world. Technically still post apocalyptic with the prologue but I'm sure you get my point.
I don't know, I'd say it has more in common with the Phantasy Star Online games. Star Ocean, you do have the space opera exploring primitive worlds angle, but as part of an extant space civilization. You aren't colonists and refugees, like you are here and in PSO.
Is anyone else excited for the scene at the end that maybe could be hinting at a new post-game story content that could finally give us some extra answers almost a decade later? 👀
I would say that is pretty much guaranteed, especially since that was a big part of the cliffhanger and they have said there will be new story content.
That's literally the main reason I'm playing this again. And staying FAR away from spoilers so I can experience it for myself. That cliff hanger is criminal, so I'm glad they're addressing it.
The reason we wanted X is because it was fucking great and in fact did more than even Zelda BOTW Wii U in some aspects, plus, still holds a ton of potential to go even beyond. Given that Monolith is doing the definitive edition, we can expect a lot, in between story expansion and QoLs, a lot more than what other Nintendo teams usually do. There, said it.
To me Xenoblade Chronicles X had the most impressive looking world in a game no matter the system back in 2015! And I have always wanted it to come to the Switch. Although I've read that Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is basically this game but improved. Either way I'm happy to finally be able to play it.
I explored almost all of this game's world on foot. I was in game terms a "Pathfinder" so my "job" was to find locations that act as fast travel points. Across the entire planet I think I only found 3 that I couldn't get to on foot. I refused to get Skells until I couldn't explore anymore without and it actually helped because some creatures *only* attack you if you're in a Skell, they ignore you on foot. I'd say don't rush for vehicles, savor the scenic hiking trails.
Oh my god, that is my exact same experience. Glad Iw as not the only one! Also a pathfinder, refused to get my skell licence until I unlocked every single probe site you could on foot. Explored nearly all of Primordia, Noctilum, Oblivia, amd Sylvalum before getting a skell. I only relented exploring cauldros on foot because of the magma rain and the crazy monsters hahaha. Even then, once I got the skell I basically just used it to do the super jump quick transform trick to reach even farther areas on foot lol. Not to mention sequence break using the super jump to get Mechanical skill level 5 before the flight module. By the time I got the flight module I only had the sky island probe in Primordia, and the bottomless pit probe in Oblivia to do, plus 1 more im forgetting. I cant describe how hyped and joyful I am at this remaster.
Same for me, though I think I was Prospector. I think I held off on getting a Skel for so long because my mind kinda saw it as like riding a horse in Zelda, having more finicky controls. The one thing I do remember from doing this, was swimming all the way from Primordia to Sylvalum at around the level 15-20 range. It took so long, but I was determined so I could place a probe for fast travel later.
This was the RKO of Nintendo announcements, it came from outta nowhere! Honestly didn't think we'd see this game again, so it's nice for the Xenoblade fans out there!
If you look closely Lin and Elma's designs are slightly different, namely their hairstyles, Lin only has 1 hairclip on her right side and it's actually holding her hair back so you can see her right ear, Elma's bangs are shorter, now about ear length and her hair flicks out a bit instead of being fully straight down, Lao looks basically the same so I wonder who else is getting a design change?
I literally was looking at my Wii U reminiscing of this game and my RUclips home page had the trailer, me thinking it was a random suggestion of the old one, NO it was the day, it happened.. ITS HERE
I got home and saw the Nintendo Life article in my Google feed that it had been announced. I thought it was a prank! I've been waiting so so long. It's my favourite game of all time.
XCX is really about the side quests, which aside from it being on the Wii-U I think is the reason it really didn't blow up. If you skip the side quests, there goes like 90% of the story. The side quests give you a lot of hints as to what's going on and how this could be connected to the other Xenoblade games. For instance, the Nopon are the only race native to Mira and NOBODY can leave the planet because it most likely exists in a pocket dimension. If you don't do the side quests, you miss those 3 very important lore bits.
How could anyone not like Riki, the comic relief character that also takes time to chat about serious subjects and cheer up the party members, motivating them to be their best selves. In addition to the fact that Riki is a father with a HUGE heart and loves his wife, kids, and adopted kids very much! In XCX, we have Tatsu... and sadly the only memorable part of his character is the same joke repeated over and over about a party member teasing about eating him. He's kinda useless and just follows the party because he has nothing better to do
Concerning this announcement: Tuesday mornings are a common time for announcements, and this announcement happening now of all times shouldn't have been a surprise because next year is the 10th anniversary of the game! It only makes sense for Monolithsoft to save the release for the anniversary, especially considering that's exactly what they did for Xenoblade Chronicles 1! I _had_ said that this would release next year multiple times this past year. As for further Wii U ports: Yoshi's Woolly World probably has the best chance given that it also has an anniversary next year, combine that with Super Mario Bros.' 40th anniversary... Otherwise; Twilight Princess HD might happen in 2026, though The Wind Waker may have a stronger chance on GameCube Online someday.
yeah i think at this point in the zelda branding they aren't going to package wind waker and twilight princess toghether. They know they could pop those puppies out individually for 60 bones and we would lap it up at the same rate, with some gripes thrown in.
@hurgcat The Wind Waker and Twilight Princess were _never_ going to be bundled together, as they have nothing in common besides the series and the systems they were on. Separate releases in separate years is the way it would happen if at all. And even then, remasters don't always return when Virtual Console is an option. Twilight Princess has been on every home console since its creation and has an anniversary not too far off, hence why I said maybe 2026. But The Wind Waker skipped the Wii and its anniversary has come and gone and might be a better fit for Nintendo Switch Online anyway.
Im so jealous for the people that get to play this one for the first time, what an amazing experience, I will for sure buy a super duper edition for this if it exists. I still have my special edition with the steal book and art work, what a fantastic game.
My FAVORITE Xenoblade!! Vast world to explore, involved gut wrenching side quests, skells , online interaction with other players , awesome soundtrack, beautiful world and Alma and Lin.
I was like casually browsing YT when the trailer dropped like an hour before and I was like "NO WAAAAYY!!" and was like "OMGGGGG". Weakest in a narrative sense, yes but overall gameplay and experience is astounding! If this is a definitive edition, I hope the narrative will be completed!
He is not and I agree with him. Nopons are extremely annoying and I was ALWAYS rooting for Lin to eat Tatsu. Ricky isn't even half as annoying as Tatsu.
Omg!!! OMG!!!! As a late addition to the fandom (jumped into the Xenoblade Chronicles series during the pandemic on Switch) and this is the ONLY one I haven’t played yet. 😭 Thank you thank you thank YOU! Omg I’m so happy!!!
This announcement came right out of thin air. But it does give credence to the rumor that Nintendo has been asking their second and third party partners to have some more remasters of their older games, due to the (continuous) delays of the Switch follow-up. Especially if Nintendo holds onto their 1 major title per month release model. I'm pretty sure we're going to see those Zelda remakes as well before the launch of the next console.
I didn't feel like I understood the battle system when I originally played it and never ended up finishing the game. I hope they make it a bit easier to understand this time around.
One change for me is that the flight music resets the overworld music. It got a bit irritating when you just needed to fly up a small distance you get a burst of the flight tune. Those first four notes are burned into my memory.
I was that one guy that was genuinely expecting for this month after month, I had almost lost faith. I was casually having breakfast when I got a notification from Nintendo’s channel. I almost choked on my bread.
I remember seeing the first ever trailer where they showed a giant mech in an open world setting and being so intrigued. We are sorely lacking in those kind of games.
Personally, I would like it if they made the Skell acquisition happen around 24 hours into the game. Long enough to walk around and feel that you're small in this world, and still have the WOW impact of piloting one.
I played the Monster Hunter Wilds beta and later i just wanted to search for some Music on RUclips to do something for University. Well 3 Hours later im searching for every possible Reaction about this. I still want it to be a Cross-Gen Title (please, on Switch 2 let it be higher Resolution) but XCX DE!!!! (Finally the Multiplayer Content is back)
Knew this game would come. They stated before that the cost to port it would be a games budget in itself. Glad Nintendo gave them the green light. Xenoblade been killing it.
Replayed it last year on my Wii U because I finally gave up hope of it ever coming to Switch and just could not wait any longer to play it again. Looks like I have a third playthru coming up in March 😅 (and FYI it absolutely holds up, do not hesitate to buy this one)
Xenoblade X felt more like a Western RPG to me than a JRPG. I really liked how much the side quests affected things in the game. In fact, you won't get nearly as much out of it if you just play the main quest. Most of the story is actually in the "side" quests. I hope they fixed the main flaw (the item fetch quests).
I keep hearing people say that this game doesn't fit in with the other three xenoblades it doesn't have to The original xeno saga series didn't fit in with the current stuff so for people to keep saying that is a mute point there's three games of that not every game has to be that same format or formula for me personally the futuristic tech is the way to go I still enjoy the other ones but just tired of hearing people complaining about how they wish it was like the other three embrace different ideas have the people who are saying this didn't even own a Wii u to even play it originally personally I'm extremely excited and this is a day one hopefully they come out with a collector's editions that I can have to put in my room been waiting on this board 6 or 7 years now.
This actually makes me so happy, I’ve just picked up Xenoblade Chronicles, and it’s honestly hooked me, now I’ll not need a Wii U to play the full line up.
Know what would have been even better? The Metroid drop, available now digitally, 1 week for physical
Месяц назад
The update instantly woke me up. I was about to hit the snooze button on my phone when I saw the news on my news feed. Shit, I went from sleepy to complete awake as I celebrated the news
I think the biggest shame in terms of games we haven’t gotten for the switch, is a sequel or port of Nintendoland. Best minigames for a party game on the WiiU
That's one less game stuck on Wii U. The only major games we need now are Yoshi's Wolly World, Kirby & The Rainbow Curse, The Legend of Zelda Wind Waker & Twilight Princess HD, and maybe Star Fox Zero and Nintendo Land (I know there are issues bringing those games over, but still, they are games that could use a wider audience).
What we want to see Updated 1: Boob slider uncensored well uncensored gameplay from the original Japanese version. 2: Better online mode with more exploration harder missions and larger exploration of maps' for online mode 3: Better inventory clutter fix, with previews of equipment on obtaining them, and previews in the menu of each item. 4: Maybe a multi-player to explore your own world with friends in split screen and or online. 5: Let me choose to turn off the flight music. 6: When flying around in your mech, another key to turn into a Jet plane Mech to fast speed past map areas or escape from an op enemy. 7: Let us bring the Jump skill back. ---------------------------------------- I ranked over 30,000 hours in this game. I wonder how long the online mode in this game is now, or will they shutdown the servers like they did on the wii-U? Side note my character you might recognise is called Nirvana I was online 24/7 nearly since the wii-U's American release lol. Hopefully they give us new mechs and a lot of them, and more customization perhaps some download content to give us mechs like in Xenogears with cool weapons and unique abilities that are op lol I'd like to fly around with Xenogears from well Xenogears lol Lau in the game might mean he can bring his black mech to help the team lol. Also you know there's going to be a Xenoblade Chronicles X-2 if this game does well on the switch, and it will come out on the switch 2 guaranteed. Wonder when it will be on physical pre-order? Oh don't worry m8 they can connect all the characters like they did in the games, via the dimension rift, and yes this is my fav game of all time probably. I spent the longest on it than any other game in the world, the main story was weak and quick, but the exploration and missions were so good it made up for it. What do you think? What would you like to see updated or changed?
I saw a youtuber playing this a few years ago and was totally mesmerized. Ive wanted to play it ever since. I finished xc1 this year and im over 250 hours into xc2 after finishing torna and buying xc3. I am definitely getting this day 1.
What is Alex’s problem with XB2?? It’s a masterpiece. I’m so freaking excited about this. So unbelievably excited. Edit: AND FELIX DOESN’T LIKE NOPON?????
I played on wiiu for an hour or two, quite liked it. Unless I'm seriously mistaken it was xenoblade with guns and grenades, mechs. It's set involving America instead of imaginary land and.. MULTIPLAYER!
Just had a realisation that xenoblade x was the swan song game before the Wii U died, and now it's the same for the Switch. Both the original and the port are coming out when the successor's announcement is imminent. Conspiracy theory: xenoblade chronicles x is so awesome it kills consoles.
Nintendo has thrown another curve ball and what a surprise, I’ve always been interested in the Xenoblade Chronicles series and Xenoblade Chronicles X will be a great start for someone that will be new to the series like myself. Now all we need is Yoshi’s Woolly World and I will be happy.
What I’m curious about is if we’re getting a second game in this series. Because it should be Xenoblade Chronicles XX. Which means we need a third game :)
Got to play X:DE earlier this year and I LOVED IT. So I naturally got even Xenoblade 2 and 3 (Still need to get Torna) and I was even considering getting a wii, solely because of xenoblade X. So the hype I felt when I saw they released the trailer today and I couldnt believe its real and its also coming to switch, was insane. I am really looking forward to it. Markd it in my calendar. Will be probably buying day 1

That’s basically how the Switch was announced.
and its not even the first time for Xenoblade, Future Redeemed was dropped on a random Tuesday too.

No you don't adore Xenoblade X!
@@kcidd12 ?
To me, X is one of the strongest of the games. It's the first Xeno to truly bring back the essence that came from the first Xenogears game, in how it mixes human and mech combat together. Another thing is, while not the strongest of character-based stories, it is one of the strongest in overall Science Fiction Plot of the group. The places this game's story arc takes the player of the game, is something so wild outside of what NeverEnding Story wanted to do.

This is tied as my fave game in the series with XC1. Try it for yourself if you haven't before - it's incredible.
And with that, i can make peace with never having owned a Wii U.
I still wish i played nintendo land though.
Nintendo Land is my favourite launch pack in title for a console, it was so much fun
I literally was looking at my Wii U reminiscing of this game and my RUclips home page had the trailer, me thinking it was a random suggestion of the old one, NO it was the day, it happened.. ITS HERE

They’re not completely disconnected. XC3 future redeemed - at the very end - has a quick scene that strongly alludes to XCX.
XCX is really about the side quests, which aside from it being on the Wii-U I think is the reason it really didn't blow up. If you skip the side quests, there goes like 90% of the story.
The side quests give you a lot of hints as to what's going on and how this could be connected to the other Xenoblade games.
For instance, the Nopon are the only race native to Mira and NOBODY can leave the planet because it most likely exists in a pocket dimension. If you don't do the side quests, you miss those 3 very important lore bits.
One does not simpily shadow announce Xenoblade X coming to Switch
How could anyone not like Riki, the comic relief character that also takes time to chat about serious subjects and cheer up the party members, motivating them to be their best selves.

He's kinda useless and just follows the party because he has nothing better to do
Agreed. I never played X and I admit, Tatsu is a terrible character.
no, Lin is a terrible person..Her jokes were so damn lame..Tatsu was just there, but he was really a none issue..
Yes, Tatsu was emergency food before emergency food (Paimon) was cool. I still loved the whole Tatsu Story Arc with his Village!

My FAVORITE Xenoblade!! Vast world to explore, involved gut wrenching side quests, skells , online interaction with other players , awesome soundtrack, beautiful world and Alma and Lin.
I was like casually browsing YT when the trailer dropped like an hour before and I was like "NO WAAAAYY!!" and was like "OMGGGGG". Weakest in a narrative sense, yes but overall gameplay and experience is astounding! If this is a definitive edition, I hope the narrative will be completed!
I will say for Felix's benefit: Tatsu - the main Nopon in this game - is quite fun 😊
Looks tasty. Like a tater tatsu.
The turnip is pretty cool, lol
He is not and I agree with him. Nopons are extremely annoying and I was ALWAYS rooting for Lin to eat Tatsu. Ricky isn't even half as annoying as Tatsu.
@@andredelacerdasantos4439who the hell is ricky

Proof that Dog loves us and wants us to be happy. ❤
Omg!!! OMG!!!! As a late addition to the fandom (jumped into the Xenoblade Chronicles series during the pandemic on Switch) and this is the ONLY one I haven’t played yet. 😭 Thank you thank you thank YOU! Omg I’m so happy!!!
This announcement came right out of thin air. But it does give credence to the rumor that Nintendo has been asking their second and third party partners to have some more remasters of their older games, due to the (continuous) delays of the Switch follow-up. Especially if Nintendo holds onto their 1 major title per month release model.
I'm pretty sure we're going to see those Zelda remakes as well before the launch of the next console.
Guys. It's happening. Everyone into the happening bunker.
Xenoblade X on Wii U was one of my most played games for Online Multiplayer. I'm looking forward to revisiting it.
The main thing missing now is Kid Icarus Uprising HD/Definitive Edition
I didn't feel like I understood the battle system when I originally played it and never ended up finishing the game. I hope they make it a bit easier to understand this time around.
It’s so refreshing thinking about this new edition with you guys. Always with the best vibe! Congrats again!
This game is the SOLE reason I kept my Wii U once it releases on switch I'll have no further need for it. A bit sad actually.
I do hope we can still have a February direct despite this announcement
Perfect xenoblade collection will be complete yesss and I love this game
HYPE. Still listen to the soundtrack to this day!
THE BEST XENOBLADE HAS COME WE ARE BACK BOYS
I hope this time I am not 100 hours in until recognizing that I did not level up necessary party members :(
One change for me is that the flight music resets the overworld music. It got a bit irritating when you just needed to fly up a small distance you get a burst of the flight tune. Those first four notes are burned into my memory.
This games the only reason why i still have my wiiu connected to the tv
OUT OF NOWHERE!
Ttue open world peak has returned
I was that one guy that was genuinely expecting for this month after month, I had almost lost faith. I was casually having breakfast when I got a notification from Nintendo’s channel. I almost choked on my bread.
Everyone wanting the Zelda Wii U games and I'm just over here wishing for Monster Hunter 3U. TwT
I remember seeing the first ever trailer where they showed a giant mech in an open world setting and being so intrigued. We are sorely lacking in those kind of games.
Personally, I would like it if they made the Skell acquisition happen around 24 hours into the game. Long enough to walk around and feel that you're small in this world, and still have the WOW impact of piloting one.
WAIT WHAT - THIS IS REAL? THIS CAME OUT OF MOWHERE! I AM OVERJOYED.
Having never played the original, and loving a good open world RPG (and anything with customizable mechs), I am very excited about this one!
I played the Monster Hunter Wilds beta and later i just wanted to search for some Music on RUclips to do something for University. Well 3 Hours later im searching for every possible Reaction about this. I still want it to be a Cross-Gen Title (please, on Switch 2 let it be higher Resolution) but XCX DE!!!! (Finally the Multiplayer Content is back)
LETS GOOOO!!! MULTIPLAYER'S BACK!!!
I thought I died and was in some dream when I saw the news this morning.
Knew this game would come. They stated before that the cost to port it would be a games budget in itself. Glad Nintendo gave them the green light. Xenoblade been killing it.
Yooooo! I've been hoping they'd do this. They'll all be on the switch now. Sweet! Freakin ready! My favorite Xenoblade game.
Time to use my switch again after many a years. My favorite game ever.
I am so glad for the Xenoblade fans who haven't played it. You will love it so much, the world and the story, especially the Tatsu character.
This also confirms Switch 2 is a Summer Launch.
The window is week 3 of July to week 4 of Aug😊
XCX was my first Xenoblade game, and i absolutely loved it! I , for one, am super happy to be getting it on Switch.
Replayed it last year on my Wii U because I finally gave up hope of it ever coming to Switch and just could not wait any longer to play it again. Looks like I have a third playthru coming up in March 😅 (and FYI it absolutely holds up, do not hesitate to buy this one)
The 2nd best Xenoblade game (the 1st being Xenoblade 1) is finally coming to the Switch.
Xenoblade X felt more like a Western RPG to me than a JRPG. I really liked how much the side quests affected things in the game. In fact, you won't get nearly as much out of it if you just play the main quest. Most of the story is actually in the "side" quests. I hope they fixed the main flaw (the item fetch quests).
"Everything about you, can't stop myself, something's just begun. Tell me why, I will think about you don't go away, I will wait for you..."
I keep hearing people say that this game doesn't fit in with the other three xenoblades it doesn't have to The original xeno saga series didn't fit in with the current stuff so for people to keep saying that is a mute point there's three games of that not every game has to be that same format or formula for me personally the futuristic tech is the way to go I still enjoy the other ones but just tired of hearing people complaining about how they wish it was like the other three embrace different ideas have the people who are saying this didn't even own a Wii u to even play it originally personally I'm extremely excited and this is a day one hopefully they come out with a collector's editions that I can have to put in my room been waiting on this board 6 or 7 years now.
OH MY GOD.
THIS IS MY FAVORITE GAME EVER! it's like a dream come true
This actually makes me so happy, I’ve just picked up Xenoblade Chronicles, and it’s honestly hooked me, now I’ll not need a Wii U to play the full line up.
Know what would have been even better? The Metroid drop, available now digitally, 1 week for physical
The update instantly woke me up. I was about to hit the snooze button on my phone when I saw the news on my news feed. Shit, I went from sleepy to complete awake as I celebrated the news
Let's just say that if i hadn't played the game, Alex's description would not have convinced me to play it.
This game fits so perfectly on the Switch ❤ I still want the first Luigi’s Mansion on Switch too!
it's such a good thing to be a xenoblade fan we get amazing stuff constantly 🙌
Felix isn't a Riki fan, he is now dead to me.
I think the biggest shame in terms of games we haven’t gotten for the switch, is a sequel or port of Nintendoland. Best minigames for a party game on the WiiU
True
That's one less game stuck on Wii U. The only major games we need now are Yoshi's Wolly World, Kirby & The Rainbow Curse, The Legend of Zelda Wind Waker & Twilight Princess HD, and maybe Star Fox Zero and Nintendo Land (I know there are issues bringing those games over, but still, they are games that could use a wider audience).
What we want to see Updated
1: Boob slider uncensored well uncensored gameplay from the original Japanese version.
2: Better online mode with more exploration harder missions and larger exploration of maps' for online mode
3: Better inventory clutter fix, with previews of equipment on obtaining them, and previews in the menu of each item.
4: Maybe a multi-player to explore your own world with friends in split screen and or online.
5: Let me choose to turn off the flight music.
6: When flying around in your mech, another key to turn into a Jet plane Mech to fast speed past map areas or escape from an op enemy.
7: Let us bring the Jump skill back.
----------------------------------------
I ranked over 30,000 hours in this game. I wonder how long the online mode in this game is now, or will they shutdown the servers like they did on the wii-U? Side note my character you might recognise is called Nirvana I was online 24/7 nearly since the wii-U's American release lol.
Hopefully they give us new mechs and a lot of them, and more customization perhaps some download content to give us mechs like in Xenogears with cool weapons and unique abilities that are op lol I'd like to fly around with Xenogears from well Xenogears lol Lau in the game might mean he can bring his black mech to help the team lol.
Also you know there's going to be a Xenoblade Chronicles X-2 if this game does well on the switch, and it will come out on the switch 2 guaranteed. Wonder when it will be on physical pre-order? Oh don't worry m8 they can connect all the characters like they did in the games, via the dimension rift, and yes this is my fav game of all time probably.
I spent the longest on it than any other game in the world, the main story was weak and quick, but the exploration and missions were so good it made up for it.
What do you think? What would you like to see updated or changed?
I hope we get the uncensored version that doesn’t have features removed like the US version for the WiiU did.
I saw a youtuber playing this a few years ago and was totally mesmerized. Ive wanted to play it ever since. I finished xc1 this year and im over 250 hours into xc2 after finishing torna and buying xc3. I am definitely getting this day 1.
What is Alex’s problem with XB2?? It’s a masterpiece.
I’m so freaking excited about this. So unbelievably excited.
Edit: AND FELIX DOESN’T LIKE NOPON?????
I honestly feel like 2 is the best one, it’s not perfect by any means but I love the characters and the interactions and story they tell
I will say it is REALLY hard to get into compared to other installments. Mainly due to it doing an awful job explaining how the game works.
@@ryan20028 oh I totally agree if they do a remaster or something they need to fix that and the map so it’s easier to understand.
I really loved XC2, but the endless tutorials and field skills requirement are a bit of an annoyance for many.
Omg XC2 is terrible. Terrible story, terrible characters, gameplay decisions that makes no sense. Story gets better after 85 hour.
ITS THE GOAT! IT FINALLY HAPPENED.......i legitimately cried fam......this is more than a game.....
This game is emulated and it will sell millions. I sank so many hours into XCX. I'm willing to bet the play test is for this game.
I played on wiiu for an hour or two, quite liked it. Unless I'm seriously mistaken it was xenoblade with guns and grenades, mechs. It's set involving America instead of imaginary land and.. MULTIPLAYER!
Just had a realisation that xenoblade x was the swan song game before the Wii U died, and now it's the same for the Switch. Both the original and the port are coming out when the successor's announcement is imminent. Conspiracy theory: xenoblade chronicles x is so awesome it kills consoles.
Nintendo has thrown another curve ball and what a surprise, I’ve always been interested in the Xenoblade Chronicles series and Xenoblade Chronicles X will be a great start for someone that will be new to the series like myself. Now all we need is Yoshi’s Woolly World and I will be happy.
8:54 xenoblade chronicles twitter 😂
It’ll be so cool if it has all the online features like the Wii U version I miss Xenoblade Chronicles X and I miss playing it online
I think the most important upgrade would be a better draw distance
Sweet, now windwaker and twilight princess next please 😊
2 BIG reasons why we love it
Custom Character creation
MECHS
This was the best game on the Wii U - technically very impressive and deeper than the Cayman Trough
I think the craziest random trailer drop from Nintendo was hyrule warriors age of calamity.
What I’m curious about is if we’re getting a second game in this series. Because it should be Xenoblade Chronicles XX. Which means we need a third game :)
But could imagine what would have happened if this was in a direct .
Got to play X:DE earlier this year and I LOVED IT. So I naturally got even Xenoblade 2 and 3 (Still need to get Torna) and I was even considering getting a wii, solely because of xenoblade X. So the hype I felt when I saw they released the trailer today and I couldnt believe its real and its also coming to switch, was insane. I am really looking forward to it. Markd it in my calendar. Will be probably buying day 1
I have put my Switch aside for quite some time as there's no game that i am interested in so far.
But now, i am getting ready for 2025.
So what does that mean for Switch successor? This game releases March, could it also be a dual platform release?
Can't wait to play this game again.
