Barrelrider Bombur didnt seem like it but it was still 100% seemless travel between 2 extremely huge areas. games on the ps4 and xbox one have alot of trouble doing that which shows how lazy there optimization is since those consoles are much more powerful than the wiiu
JAJAvsWORLD I'm sorry but open-world games on microsoft and sony platforms have had seemless transitions since 2006. Sorry to rain on your fanoyish ignorance.
There are no loading screens... There are no loading screens..! THERE ARE NO LOADING SCREENS! THERE ARE NO F**8ING LOADING SCREENS!!!111 OMG (head explodes)
***** I assume with the data packs it should be similar to downloaded on the system. I think it will mostly be going in and out of menus that will take longer without the extra data packs.
Yami It is really amazing. Makes me wonder why so call "powerful consoles" like PS4 and Xbone don't have games like these, instead they get AC Unity. lol
Hunter Wynn Lack of optimization. Maybe a 1st party game by Sony or Microsoft can achieve the same thing. 3rd parties lack the ability to optimize because they did not make the hardware, which is why 1st part Nintendo games are so well made.
You don't know how much I hate when someone says "Where's Shulk?" or "Is this in the same universe as the first one?" NO!! People have said this in every Xenoblade Chronicles X video and it's even said in this video but people still ask those same questions....
I'm currently playing the Xenoblade Chronicles on Wii, and I'm wowed by how this game is keeping me interested and entertained for about 20 hours so far and I've just started the main story! Just an amazing game. Even grinding is fun in XC. The customization, battle system, story and athmosphere - WOW man! So as we can see X is what it seems to be an even better and bigger game than XC - I'm speachless. This game will be massive! No doubt Nintendo will have the best RPG this generation as well. Cheers gamers!
Fuzunga Come on, let's be fully truthful. The one thing we all want right now, are the first game's ice physics to be in place here. Can you imagine that with the super jump and no fall damage?
Luke Schlachter What Greenhillmario is talking about is the fact that in the first Xenoblade Chronicles, all momentum is kept when on ice, and when you jump off of an icy surface, you keep ALL of the speed you had. There's even an ice cave where you had to perform a MASSIVE jump using the ice physics. Combine said ice physics with the stupidly high jumps in this game = to the moon!
The way he colored the Skel in the end reminded me of Evangelion... I love the customization and vastness of this game I can tell I will easily do 500 plus hours playing this game....
kaiser avm I shall smite many massive monsters for I am Infinit .... Let all the roodie poo candy assets Steppeth aside or receive a serious Smacketh of the down.
@Hal Jordan. the game has it all, setting, plot twists, action sequences, anime power ups, slight romance, esp the soundtrack.A must buy videogame for New 3DS owners
Man, the amount of nostalgia I have for this presentation is immense. I truly do miss these times, so damn much. No matter what anyone says, the 2015 Wii U era was a special, different time for me.
artinbazikyan Yeah, it struck me so odd that he said that. The E3 trailer had a line something like "A vessel for our Lord has finally arrived", and the original Xenoblade had terms like Yaldabaoth and Apocrypha. I'd be really disappointed if they removed the references in the Skell model names. I'm a big fan of Lailah and Inferno.
Cristian C You can actually see yhat he has "biters" on his backpack and that's a weapon type from xc so there might be a possibility that we can play as a NOPON!!!
i am a little sad they didnt talk about this, but the goddamn music ._: hiroyuki sawano is a god and i cant wait to slay monsters in an awesome world with awesome music, and i hope i "don't lose my way" by exploring too much :P
This was a FANTASTIC playthrough of XENOBLADE CHRONICLES X, this was a GREAT game on the Wii U and a remaster of this game with XENOBLADE CHRONICLES X 2 on the Switch would be much appreciated. Sam, Demetrious, and Rich all did a GREAT job in this showcase of the game, as well. Here's to more Nintendo Treehouse live gameplay events like this in the near future.
Calling it right now that as soon as the game comes out people are gonna find the highest place they can then pull a assasin's creed style leap of faith off it
This is the work of a genius. I hope its story is a good as the first xenoblade. not to mention a game with a world half the size, if not, the same size as GTAV world
This game looks so damn good! I can't wait till it's translated into English. This will be worth the wait I guarantee! Thank you creators of Xenoblade! Domo Arigato!
SuperPokeplayer1 I caught that as well. Hopefully we will someday see a Xenoblade Chronicles re-master in HD with unused areas being available in the future.
Dr. Farewell No! Smash now! I want an Elma Amiibo, even if it is limited to only 5 Gamestops in Alaska 2-3am release, world-wide. (lol) I don't know that we can guarantee yet that Amiibo will be a thing years into the next console's life. So I want Elma now more than later, K.Rule can wait, he ain't doing nothing anyway! (troll joke, yohohohoho) #Elma4Smash #Elma #SmashBallot
I'm assuming this is the Japanese version. It confuses me that Japanese things have so much English all over it. Japanese people have to learn two alphabets that are about 50 letters each. And then they have to learn 2,000+ kanji. And on top of that, they have to learn English?
Guys, I KNOW Japanese people use certain English a lot. I'm just saying, it must be really hard to memorize ALL of the following: 1. ~100 kana 2. 2,000+ kanji 3. Japanese words, pronunciation, grammar, and et cetera 4. The English/Roman/Latin/whatever alphabet 5. Certain English words
Illoosion I'm pretty sure they start learning English in middle school, just like how many schools around the world would allow you to learn Japanese at around middle school.
Good day. I am a born consumer of Nintendo products, Nintendo is part of my life since childhood. I am here today to try to understand the Wii U vision for the company, for in the name of many consumers and console fans, come try to understand the neglect that the Wii U has had in such a short lifetime of the console. We seek to understand simple things like why not launch a decent Pokémon pro console (knowing that it is a franchise that sells both) and could leverage sales of the console, or for example getting key games on virtual console (example: TopGear3000, Bomberman, Mortal Kombat etc). We enjoyed the Wii U and do not want to see him die early. We are not seeking a new console table (in fact expect the NX seje not a successor of the Wii U) because we know that there really flashy new Wii U can indeed overcome their sales. Thank you Nintendo.
Dear Nintendo, Please do not censor this game for people that would have never bought it anyway. People that want to play this game want it fully intact. Japanese voices would be a plus but I would settle for uncensored.
Also, I know it seems like nitpicking, but I really hope there's an animation for getting into the Doll added later. It's a small detail, but It helps immensely with my immersion.
***** I agree as well though I think it would prove to be a small annoyance to some then they will quickly forget as they venture out into the world. Kind of like how I do in all my games.
I want it now I want it now... give me your heart and your soul. I love aller the Xenoblade games. I have been following all Nintendo games and consoles since thier existance.
It looks like it runs very well and the world looks absolutely mind blowing. This game really looks like game of they year material. A truly staggeringly deep and gigantic RPG. With this, The Witcher 3, Persona 5...This is gonna be a fantastic year for RPGs
SheikKan With you there buddy. I know that "skell" is meant to be exoskeleton shortened, but it just sounds better to have an already established word like "doll" rather than creating a new word for the sake of "science fiction"
I have seen SO many people try to give this game hate and it just doesn't work. It looks beautiful, All of the features look so inviting, the world your in looks so emersive and amazing! And some people are arguing about why they should keep the name "Dolls" over "Skells"? Stop complaining and just enjoy the game!
omg!!! yes yes yes!!!!!!! Xenoblade X Im really feeling it ^_~ ...and there are rumors that say that that girl is related to Shulk and Shulk in in here as well. the online will be just amazing, Game of the Year right here.
***** I dont see what other games?? MK is terrible the story is ruined and the graphics are not at all that impressive, Street Fighter as well? either Xenoblade or Star Fox will be the game of the year if you ask me.
24:13 Ohhhh... A complete rate. I don't have to worry over scouring the entire map on my GamePad. This game... is made for completionists but only THE MOST dedicated ones. Navi-ball, Hopper Cam, it's got it all!
Because after Mario kart 8 comes out, everyone says they'll get a WiiU, then Bayonetta 2 comes out and everyone says they'll get a WiiU, them Smash comes out and you get the picture. But the sales never reflect what everyone is saying so I think it's easy to assume that people are just talking instead of doing. I guarantee you people will say. I'll get a WiiU, when Zelda comes out.
I don't think there were no sales boost after release MK8 or Bayo 2 at all. It was just not enough. I think people still think of Nintendo products as "mainly for kids". And kids these days... They like to play "mature games for mature people".
Noctis Pendragon Not even close? How would you know? Besides if this is just Xenoblade+ than ff15 is just kingdom hearts+FF13, when theirs more to it than that.
Noctis Pendragon Final Fantasy 15 has been dumbed down for teens who only go to Micheal Bay movies. Look at how a franchise all of sudden went from a series about mystical fantasy worlds to a game with emo protagonists, cars, and guns. Xenoblade may have been graphically downgraded, but it looks far more interesting than FF15.
+Voe Grevioux I Have PC and WiiU myself, Basically any PS4 or One game I can get on PC, but theres NO games on the WiiU that you can get on PC and theres MANY games this gen already that are great on the WiiU, but it doesn't have many games, but most of the games are good or great, so very lil crap games to filter through
So basically this game did what everyone wanted in a transformers game, just as an extra? TAKE MY MONEY!!! And the massive, beautifully rendered, free roam environments with online doesn't hurt either. Oh while I'm here, check out Satorl Marshes at night on the original Wii. The most breath-taking environment I've seen on any gaming system.
Helpful tip, the colors of the arts actually show what they do, in xenoblade chronicles red was physical, blue was support, and white was the talent art.
マルス i hate sao please no.... Ive been loving speedy dps charectors since I was little my favorite video game charector is sonic I didn't dedicate myself to dualblade classes until I started playing the mmo maplestory. from there any game that has a dualblade dps class I main that class. if not they have to atleast have a theif type class for me to truely enjoy it
Noctis Pendragon Battles. I thought they would be more action oriented, but it just seems like your placement doesn't really matter, and you just press icons to do different skills and then wait.
Nison545 Yes, there are hit boxes. Depending on where you are standing in according to the enemy's placement, certain Arts will have bonus effects. Also, I think that attacking at a certain angle on some enemies in this game will actually destroy body parts like the dome-like shell on the pig monsters' foreheads.
@Noelzilla1 they're not discontinuing it. The nx is going to be alongside the wiiu, not replace it. The nx is something new entirely. Not just a new console
In addition to my last criticism on your localisation: Why do you bother changing things up if it breaks the original intention? Look at "Overclock Gear", the strongest art at your disposal. Its symbol are two gears (kind of a reference to the old Xenogears too) and the visuals that appear are actual gears as well. Aside from that, Overclock is a typical thing related to computers and processors in general. Since XCX is a heavily sci-fi game, it fits quite well. The same can be said about the dolls/skells. There is one song that I know of, don't know its name right now, in which the singer says something about "dolls" (and he is talking about the mechs). But let me ask you, what exactly are "dolls"? Never heard of them. :p Seriously, I respect you guys at NoA, but _don't_ change things if they don't need change. You are not the developers of the game, you are taking what is given to you and make it playable for us. Changing things that us, with a different culture, simply would not understand, like Japanese sayings or jokes. If the developers even use English words or senteces for their game, _why_ change it? I want the game Takahashi and the others envisioned and changing something like "Dolls -> Skells" or "Overclock Gear -> Overdrive" simply breaks it in a way. Without wanting to disrespect, stamping your footprint on the game is not what a localizer should do. It wouldn't matter to me if the European version of the game did a fantastic job, but I guess NoE will use your English version and dub to translate the game to the other languages.
I just couldn't help but notice the "Offline" text in the upper left corner. Which could mean online capabilities to play with friends. Which means I'm super hyped! :D
Jinsei Cast From what other people have been saying, your avatar will have VA altho I honestly just started really looking into XCX info about a week ago so I didn't know that they announce character customizable for almost a year now. As for the character, I hope the avatar is voiced, it would be a shame otherwise. It wouldn't be to hard, dragon age has done it, mass effect, allot of DnD type rpg's.
epyon542 Not sure, those games placed a high focus on the narrative while this one is trying to find a nice balance. Not sure but from the Xenoblade Direct that was just released, it doesn't seem to be the case, only your body will move. However a mute protagonist doesn't mean the story will be terrible. It can still be great ^^
30:30 - 31: 30
THIS IS WHAT IT MEANS TO HAVE SEEMLESS TRANSITIONS!
ITS NOT HARD MICROSOFT AND SONY!
JAJAvsWORLD WAIT A SECOND, was that a transition between 2 of the continents???
Your profile pic suits your comment perfectly XD
Barrelrider Bombur didnt seem like it but it was still 100% seemless travel between 2 extremely huge areas. games on the ps4 and xbox one have alot of trouble doing that which shows how lazy there optimization is since those consoles are much more powerful than the wiiu
JAJAvsWORLD I'm sorry but open-world games on microsoft and sony platforms have had seemless transitions since 2006. Sorry to rain on your fanoyish ignorance.
JAJAvsWORLD Xenoblade X is running 720p upscaled at 30 fps. GTA V uses more graphically impressive effects and runs it native 1080p at 30 fps.
That direct was painful.
In the sense that it makes you want to play the game so bad, but you still have to wait for months.
Le Dom Evidently, it wasn't a Direct at all. It's just a showcase.
Nintendo, I am begging you, KEEP THIS SERIES GOING! IT NEEDS MORE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT!
Monolith belongs to Nintendo now so more likely than not the Xenoblade series will continue.
Zelda Prime The Xenoblade franchise was Nintendo's best creation since...
...Ocarina of Time.
Alexander Volg Zangief *Super Mario Galaxy
***** Not the Xeno series, though awesome. I'm talking directly the xenoblade series, though I'd like other Xeno games.
***** He specifically said xenoblade though. Not just xeno
There are no loading screens... There are no loading screens..! THERE ARE NO LOADING SCREENS! THERE ARE NO F**8ING LOADING SCREENS!!!111 OMG (head explodes)
***** I assume with the data packs it should be similar to downloaded on the system. I think it will mostly be going in and out of menus that will take longer without the extra data packs.
Yami There's only loading screens for skip travel, cutscenes, and entering New Los Angeles. Besides that no loading screens, which is pretty amazing.
Hunter Wynn I don't know of any game that has no load screens when traveling around the world, especially not this large.
Yami It is really amazing. Makes me wonder why so call "powerful consoles" like PS4 and Xbone don't have games like these, instead they get AC Unity. lol
Hunter Wynn Lack of optimization. Maybe a 1st party game by Sony or Microsoft can achieve the same thing. 3rd parties lack the ability to optimize because they did not make the hardware, which is why 1st part Nintendo games are so well made.
omfg it's so beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm actually crying at how beautiful it is, no lie.
It looks ugly
Darren Childs *You
Alain7896 game of the year right here
This game could run on the ps2
Darren Childs Oh, no... you don't really believe that, do you?
This might just be one of the best rpgs ever created. Cant wait to play it. One of the games im really looking forward to.
You don't know how much I hate when someone says "Where's Shulk?" or "Is this in the same universe as the first one?" NO!! People have said this in every Xenoblade Chronicles X video and it's even said in this video but people still ask those same questions....
Yeah I honestly can't take it...
;)
Now you know how fire emblem fans felt when Brawl came out XD
Dr. Farewell Are Marth and Roy in this game?
Dr. Farewell Tl;dr Ver?
I'm currently playing the Xenoblade Chronicles on Wii, and I'm wowed by how this game is keeping me interested and entertained for about 20 hours so far and I've just started the main story! Just an amazing game. Even grinding is fun in XC. The customization, battle system, story and athmosphere - WOW man! So as we can see X is what it seems to be an even better and bigger game than XC - I'm speachless. This game will be massive! No doubt Nintendo will have the best RPG this generation as well. Cheers gamers!
martinbd4 I REALLY wanna play Xenoblade Chronicles on Wii but my Wii is messed up and I have no Wii U :(
gamerprince1999 Well, if possible, you could always do the next best thing and get it on NN3Ds. Or just buy a used Wii.
***** Not at all better than Xenoblade Chronicles.
martinbd4 Try 100% this game, then tell me if you are having fun ; ^)
***** Let's not impose opinions shall we now?
The more Xenoblade Chronicles X gameplay Nintendo shows, the more excited I get. I seriously can't wait to play this game later this year!
If this game isn't in the next direct I'll cry
They went from the world's most pathetic jump in Xenoblade to the world's most extreme jump in Xenoblade X.
Fuzunga Come on, let's be fully truthful. The one thing we all want right now, are the first game's ice physics to be in place here. Can you imagine that with the super jump and no fall damage?
greenhillmario I must go now, my people need me! * super jumps into the sunset *
greenhillmario no, because if it was ice, it would break. We want to see the party go through the ice.
Luke Schlachter
What Greenhillmario is talking about is the fact that in the first Xenoblade Chronicles, all momentum is kept when on ice, and when you jump off of an icy surface, you keep ALL of the speed you had. There's even an ice cave where you had to perform a MASSIVE jump using the ice physics. Combine said ice physics with the stupidly high jumps in this game = to the moon!
+Tobi of the Akatsuki basically like TAS super Mario 64 where you move so fast you go into alternate universes.
The way he colored the Skel in the end reminded me of Evangelion... I love the customization and vastness of this game I can tell I will easily do 500 plus hours playing this game....
and then in coop battling giant monsters and exploring TheGood Shepherd =)
kaiser avm I shall smite many massive monsters for I am Infinit .... Let all the roodie poo candy assets Steppeth aside or receive a serious Smacketh of the down.
Xenoblade Chronicles is so far a great experience, can't wait to try out Xenoblade X.
Yup :) Xenoblade wii/3ds is a masterpiece!
I have Smash to thank for that. Xenoblade 3ds is truly a work of a genius. story felt like watching a shonen anime series
@Hal Jordan. the game has it all, setting, plot twists, action sequences, anime power ups, slight romance, esp the soundtrack.A must buy videogame for New 3DS owners
Hal Jordan I'm already at Sword Valley, so I know about Mechons a thing or two ;)
***** I'm going to play all Xeno games, not just Xenoblade series :)
Man, the amount of nostalgia I have for this presentation is immense. I truly do miss these times, so damn much. No matter what anyone says, the 2015 Wii U era was a special, different time for me.
I've never played a Xenoblade game before...but this looks amazing.
Will probably pick up when it's out.
If I don't have this game as soon as posible my body is going to freaking explode.
"My body is ready"
"My body is Reggie"
My bottle is sketchy
Mago The Snowman I couldn't agree more. Nintendo, can you give this game to me, like, I don't know, a few days ago?
Already pre-ordered.
Damn, this a potential GOTY.
I just hope it sells well. I doubt it'll sell poorly considering how Xenoblade has become much more popular recently.
"If you looked that fabulous, you would love to dance as well." Best quote ever
"The upside of this particular war is that the Earth is destroyed"
Makna Forest + Satorl Marsh = Noctilum.
at Testament "we're going to change that"
um no you are not, religious references are the heart of Xeno games
I think it might just be because the name doesn't really work as an organization title for hunting monsters.
Austin Haworth sorry, opening treasure chests.
Austin Haworth
I hope so, we'll see if it'll be a problem if amdusius or mastema get changed
artinbazikyan Yeah, it struck me so odd that he said that. The E3 trailer had a line something like "A vessel for our Lord has finally arrived", and the original Xenoblade had terms like Yaldabaoth and Apocrypha. I'd be really disappointed if they removed the references in the Skell model names. I'm a big fan of Lailah and Inferno.
Jason?
Probably going to be my favorite game evur. And the three are really cool and natural, good job
Aww... I miss my little heropon! I wish the Nopon could fight.
We could get a pleasant surprise...
Ryner Lute I really do hope...
Cristian C I want to see a Nopon Skell. just a giant bowling ball spewing toxic death on everyone.
Cristian C Rickie want fight.
Cristian C You can actually see yhat he has "biters" on his backpack and that's a weapon type from xc so there might be a possibility that we can play as a NOPON!!!
i am a little sad they didnt talk about this, but the goddamn music ._: hiroyuki sawano is a god and i cant wait to slay monsters in an awesome world with awesome music, and i hope i "don't lose my way" by exploring too much :P
6 years ago man, I was a completely different person then. Wow...
This was a FANTASTIC playthrough of XENOBLADE CHRONICLES X, this was a GREAT game on the Wii U and a remaster of this game with XENOBLADE CHRONICLES X 2 on the Switch would be much appreciated. Sam, Demetrious, and Rich all did a GREAT job in this showcase of the game, as well. Here's to more Nintendo Treehouse live gameplay events like this in the near future.
I see that there is no more fall damage
GamerDragoon Monolith has removed the fall damage to make the exploration more convenient.
Calling it right now that as soon as the game comes out people are gonna find the highest place they can then pull a assasin's creed style leap of faith off it
This is the work of a genius. I hope its story is a good as the first xenoblade. not to mention a game with a world half the size, if not, the same size as GTAV world
sLasHeRxXx07 This game is bigger than GTA V. It's more comparable to skyrim's world i think.
seidl01 the first game was comparable to skyrim (a little smaller). This is 5 times bigger.
This game looks so damn good! I can't wait till it's translated into English. This will be worth the wait I guarantee! Thank you creators of Xenoblade! Domo Arigato!
Anybody notice that she said xenoblade chronicles for the wii u
SuperPokeplayer1 I caught that as well. Hopefully we will someday see a Xenoblade Chronicles re-master in HD with unused areas being available in the future.
マルス Isn't 3d enough?
SuperPokeplayer1 Well technically you can still play it on your Wii U, so she was half right.
Griffion Li Britannia Also watch out for a person named Zero, ...he may want to kill you...
Griffion Li Britannia ....code geass...
releasing late 2015? which means i still have some time to spend with my social life
ELMA FOR SMASH!
I actually want Elma and Inkling for Smash 5. I think we should save some cool Nintendo characters for the next smash.
Dr. Farewell Elma and Inkling can be a DLC characters for smash wii u and 3ds!
Elma, inkling, Abe, waluigi, and shovelknight for smash 5 or smash 4 slc
Dlc
Dr. Farewell No! Smash now! I want an Elma Amiibo, even if it is limited to only 5 Gamestops in Alaska 2-3am release, world-wide. (lol)
I don't know that we can guarantee yet that Amiibo will be a thing years into the next console's life. So I want Elma now more than later, K.Rule can wait, he ain't doing nothing anyway! (troll joke, yohohohoho)
#Elma4Smash #Elma #SmashBallot
I keep watching these Xenoblade X videos constantly. I'm so excited for this game! I can't wait! I can hardly contain myself @_@
I'm assuming this is the Japanese version. It confuses me that Japanese things have so much English all over it.
Japanese people have to learn two alphabets that are about 50 letters each. And then they have to learn 2,000+ kanji. And on top of that, they have to learn English?
Illoosion japan uses certain english words commonly and the custom character's name was made by a american as you can see
Illoosion If you watch anime like naruto or fairy tale with japanese dubbing, you will notice phrases like ''Nice timingu-des!''
Illoosion Knowing people who have been to Japan, many places in Japan use english words a lot on their signs and other things.
Guys, I KNOW Japanese people use certain English a lot.
I'm just saying, it must be really hard to memorize ALL of the following:
1. ~100 kana
2. 2,000+ kanji
3. Japanese words, pronunciation, grammar, and et cetera
4. The English/Roman/Latin/whatever alphabet
5. Certain English words
Illoosion I'm pretty sure they start learning English in middle school, just like how many schools around the world would allow you to learn Japanese at around middle school.

The attention to detail is awesome, love the sheathes and such.
This games is gorgeous
Just dug out Xenoblade Chronicles on the Wii after getting it years ago and not getting into it. X has got me interested and gonna give it a shot!
Best game ever made
I need this on the Switch. I played this game when it came out and now I badly miss it.
This game shows off the processing power of the wii u, WITHOUT LAG!!!!! WAY TO GO, NINTENDO!!!
Also, I know it seems like nitpicking, but I really hope there's an animation for getting into the Doll added later. It's a small detail, but It helps immensely with my immersion.
***** I'm afraid it's too late for now, as it's coming to japan in 3 days, but it may possible come as DLC with other features ^^
Yeah, they can still include it in updates I suppose. It's the only thing that really bothers me. Otherwise, the animations are fantastic.
***** I agree as well though I think it would prove to be a small annoyance to some then they will quickly forget as they venture out into the world. Kind of like how I do in all my games.
I want it now I want it now... give me your heart and your soul.
I love aller the Xenoblade games. I have been following all Nintendo games and consoles since thier existance.
I'm going to get a Wii U just for this game
Chuskichi You won't regret your purchase either.
Chuskichi same
It looks like it runs very well and the world looks absolutely mind blowing. This game really looks like game of they year material. A truly staggeringly deep and gigantic RPG. With this, The Witcher 3, Persona 5...This is gonna be a fantastic year for RPGs
ExoSKELLeton. okay that makes much more sense. I thought they were just making up a word.
I miss this game so much... Nintendo I'm begging to port this game to switch I'm loving xenoblade 2 so far but pls
Skells doesn't sounds nice, dolls is better.
No it doesn't. Dolls sounds too gross a name for me. Skells sounds better.
Skell
Skeleton
Exo skeleton
SheikKan With you there buddy. I know that "skell" is meant to be exoskeleton shortened, but it just sounds better to have an already established word like "doll" rather than creating a new word for the sake of "science fiction"
SheikKan I have some dolls in my basement. wanna c?
+Dirk Diggler
I have some skels in MY basement, want to see?
I think that sentence is bad no matter what word you use XD
I have seen SO many people try to give this game hate and it just doesn't work. It looks beautiful, All of the features look so inviting, the world your in looks so emersive and amazing! And some people are arguing about why they should keep the name "Dolls" over "Skells"? Stop complaining and just enjoy the game!
I'm really feeling it!
Super Yoshi Galaxy 64 If you don't really know anything about Xenoblade outside of Smash, it's best not to say anything at all.
Sand Man Yeah they keep making themselves look like a buncha jokas.
Nintendoman1998 Yeah they need to know it reyn time and you can't have a rainbow without reyn baby.
ranmashin Yeah, but we mustn't be careless.
Yea that why Rikki likes fighting easy monsters.
I haven't played an rpg in a long while, this caught my interest and will be my first in almost 5 years.
omg!!! yes yes yes!!!!!!! Xenoblade X Im really feeling it ^_~ ...and there are rumors that say that that girl is related to Shulk and Shulk in in here as well. the online will be just amazing, Game of the Year right here.
nintendo forlife Im really feeling it love the Mechs!!
nintendo forlife 2015 Game of the Year right here.
nintendo forlife cant wait for online game play
nintendo forlife cant wait for Zelda!! but this game will be good enough till the incredible Zelda is released and I cant wait for Star Fox!!!
***** I dont see what other games?? MK is terrible the story is ruined and the graphics are not at all that impressive, Street Fighter as well? either Xenoblade or Star Fox will be the game of the year if you ask me.
I cried the whole time because of all the wonderful things I don't get to experience yet.
I would ask for Xenoblade Chronicles X Amiibos, but the reality is that you would only print enough for the scalpers to buy out so...... yeah.
24:13 Ohhhh... A complete rate. I don't have to worry over scouring the entire map on my GamePad. This game... is made for completionists but only THE MOST dedicated ones. Navi-ball, Hopper Cam, it's got it all!
I told myself I would get a PS4. But once again you pull my interests. GG.
As I'm currently playing Xenoblade 3DS for the first time and loving it, Xenoblade Chronicles X is a day one buy for sure! Can't wait!
Don't worry, we're changing that.
???
This game looks really cool and the mechs are my favorite thing so far about it. It kinda reminds me of Evangelion.
Well I think it's time to buy a wiiU
beforeBan everyone says that with every Wii U game, but they never get one.
malikcarson14 Really? How do you know?
Because after Mario kart 8 comes out, everyone says they'll get a WiiU, then Bayonetta 2 comes out and everyone says they'll get a WiiU, them Smash comes out and you get the picture. But the sales never reflect what everyone is saying so I think it's easy to assume that people are just talking instead of doing. I guarantee you people will say. I'll get a WiiU, when Zelda comes out.
I don't think there were no sales boost after release MK8 or Bayo 2 at all. It was just not enough. I think people still think of Nintendo products as "mainly for kids". And kids these days... They like to play "mature games for mature people".
People just want an excuse. It's fine. I enjoy my WiiU and to me that's all that matters.
Q3-Q4 2015 can't come soon enough!! Thanks for the share Nintendo Treehouse!
Still better than Final Fantasy 15.
purgatoryhorse98 Lol not even close , this game is Xenoblade + while FF XV has a lot more to show .
Noctis Pendragon A long road? I think I see too much FF15 in real life.
Noctis Pendragon Not even close? How would you know? Besides if this is just Xenoblade+ than ff15 is just kingdom hearts+FF13, when theirs more to it than that.
Noctis Pendragon Final Fantasy 15 has been dumbed down for teens who only go to Micheal Bay movies. Look at how a franchise all of sudden went from a series about mystical fantasy worlds to a game with emo protagonists, cars, and guns.
Xenoblade may have been graphically downgraded, but it looks far more interesting than FF15.
purgatoryhorse98 ff15 is made by a different group so it most likely will be better than ff13.
One of my most anticipated games of this year!
But but... I don't want a Wii U.... sigh* pc... master race.... *goes to cry in bed*
If you have to cry about not having 1 game then I feel bad for you.
+Voe Grevioux I Have PC and WiiU myself, Basically any PS4 or One game I can get on PC, but theres NO games on the WiiU that you can get on PC and theres MANY games this gen already that are great on the WiiU, but it doesn't have many games, but most of the games are good or great, so very lil crap games to filter through
Well you should have bought one!
So basically this game did what everyone wanted in a transformers game, just as an extra?
TAKE MY MONEY!!!
And the massive, beautifully rendered, free roam environments with online doesn't hurt either.
Oh while I'm here, check out Satorl Marshes at night on the original Wii. The most breath-taking environment I've seen on any gaming system.
Can't wait for online play !
There isn't online play
Riksu _ yes there is. They had a Japanese stream about it.
Riksu _ there is online play mate.
Ramster 1000 4 player missions as well
Okay. Sorry. My B
Helpful tip, the colors of the arts actually show what they do, in xenoblade chronicles red was physical, blue was support, and white was the talent art.
I can't wait to pilot my DOLL. I lost count of the times they repeated "Skell" in this stream, no, i don't like the new term at all.
I'm so blown away by the large areas that this game gives you to explore!
We need a new X
This really looks amazing. I can't wait to play it.
Now all we need is a release date for the English versions.
I've been looking for this video a while last night smh I fear what this game might do to my life lol
it will be quite interesting indeed cooperating to kill this giant monsters and other things TheGood Shepherd =)
I can feel something arriving.
*Parks doll while picking up a side quest*
*Doll gets eaten by sand worm*
What the f***
I love games that take their time with the little details like this.
Hope the game would come to the Switch soon ^_^
Dust off the Wii U! Great looking game and huge scale. Shows that the WiiU does have some power under the hood. Can't wait.
hope theres a dualblade dps class
JAJAvsWORLD
Well, there's class called "Command" I believe that uses dual swords and dual pistols.
Isn't that what Elma is?
masterxxxtamer48 I guess it is. she just seems kinda slow for us speed junkies
JAJAvsWORLD Something tells me you are a fan of SAO. Just a hunch.
マルス i hate sao please no....
Ive been loving speedy dps charectors since I was little
my favorite video game charector is sonic
I didn't dedicate myself to dualblade classes until I started playing the mmo maplestory. from there any game that has a dualblade dps class I main that class. if not they have to atleast have a theif type class for me to truely enjoy it
Cool
god this is so gorgeous i need it now!!
So this game doesn't really have hit-boxes? :/
Nison545 What do you mean ? Are you talking about the world or the batles ?
Noctis Pendragon Battles. I thought they would be more action oriented, but it just seems like your placement doesn't really matter, and you just press icons to do different skills and then wait.
Nison545 Yeah same here , it is like a turn-based game where the IA moves automaticly for you .
Noctis Pendragon No, in Xenoblade you move the characters yourself and your positions do matter.
Nison545 Yes, there are hit boxes. Depending on where you are standing in according to the enemy's placement, certain Arts will have bonus effects. Also, I think that attacking at a certain angle on some enemies in this game will actually destroy body parts like the dome-like shell on the pig monsters' foreheads.
@Noelzilla1 they're not discontinuing it. The nx is going to be alongside the wiiu, not replace it. The nx is something new entirely. Not just a new console
Cant wait for this to come out! I just finished last week Xenoblade Chronicles on the Wii with 150 hours :')
Looks sooo good, great job Nintendo and Monolith
At first I didn't know about this game at E3. Now I buying it day one.
*I'm
By the way, the video is great, and the commentary is fun. Keep up the great presentations.
No excuses Nintendo. If you can run this game you can run the new skyrim game coming. We want more open worlds.
PopperPenguin Actually, Xenoblade Chronicles X IS AN OPEN WORLD! Pay closer attention!
PopperPenguin Tell that to Bethesda. Lets hope they bring the next ELDER SCROLLS game to the Wii U. (Not skyrim game)
Well it could also be nintendos job to ask those 3rd party developers to release it on their system. But instead they stay silent.
True dat.
PopperPenguin Skyrim is not made by Nintendo, so your point is?
In addition to my last criticism on your localisation:
Why do you bother changing things up if it breaks the original intention?
Look at "Overclock Gear", the strongest art at your disposal. Its symbol are two gears (kind of a reference to the old Xenogears too) and the visuals that appear are actual gears as well. Aside from that, Overclock is a typical thing related to computers and processors in general. Since XCX is a heavily sci-fi game, it fits quite well.
The same can be said about the dolls/skells. There is one song that I know of, don't know its name right now, in which the singer says something about "dolls" (and he is talking about the mechs). But let me ask you, what exactly are "dolls"? Never heard of them. :p
Seriously, I respect you guys at NoA, but _don't_ change things if they don't need change. You are not the developers of the game, you are taking what is given to you and make it playable for us. Changing things that us, with a different culture, simply would not understand, like Japanese sayings or jokes.
If the developers even use English words or senteces for their game, _why_ change it? I want the game Takahashi and the others envisioned and changing something like "Dolls -> Skells" or "Overclock Gear -> Overdrive" simply breaks it in a way.
Without wanting to disrespect, stamping your footprint on the game is not what a localizer should do. It wouldn't matter to me if the European version of the game did a fantastic job, but I guess NoE will use your English version and dub to translate the game to the other languages.
The Xenoblade franchise was Nintendo's best creation since...
...Ocarina of Time.
I just couldn't help but notice the "Offline" text in the upper left corner. Which could mean online capabilities to play with friends. Which means I'm super hyped! :D
I need this game! Just beautiful and extremely interesting. This is so a must buy day one game. :D
Me to
Kiss your friendships, love life , sleep, and healthy eating habits goodbye when this hits the shelves.
It is monolith soft, so I am not worried about the story being bad
I'm so glad that it seems like the MC is customizable, I love well written MC's but I love a well written MC that's customizable even more.
epyon542 Well written? Your avatar will be silent I'm afraid.
Jinsei Cast
From what other people have been saying, your avatar will have VA altho I honestly just started really looking into XCX info about a week ago so I didn't know that they announce character customizable for almost a year now. As for the character, I hope the avatar is voiced, it would be a shame otherwise. It wouldn't be to hard, dragon age has done it, mass effect, allot of DnD type rpg's.
epyon542
Not sure, those games placed a high focus on the narrative while this one is trying to find a nice balance. Not sure but from the Xenoblade Direct that was just released, it doesn't seem to be the case, only your body will move.
However a mute protagonist doesn't mean the story will be terrible. It can still be great ^^
From what I hear, Cross will play an important role in the game regardless.
So the Stream was blocked here in Germany for some reason but the recording isn't... weird.
1 month left, can't wait ;_;
Game of the year
OMG.... Xenogearz is back baby!!
Kübel350 Xenogears was the game that made me fall in love with mecha. *XENOGEARZ
I bet the whole time these guys are playing during the livestream, they're just thinking;
"Please don't crash, please don't glitch out"
I like how the whiteboard has all the smash bros characters on it
I'm just happy they brought back the Nopon!
