So basically, we've learned 2 things: 1) Dolls are now called Skells 2) They're not far enough in localization to give a release date or show the English voice acting. A bit disappointing, but I guess this was meant for the people who haven't been avidly keeping up with the Japanese news. Fair enough I guess.
***** I actually don't have a problem with "Skell" it's like a shorthand for "exoskeleton" so it makes sense. Doll was kind of a bland name in the first place. However, I doubt the voice actor here is Elma, the way the audio is balanced makes it sound like they just super imposed a female narrator voice on. I feel like Elma's voice, even if it is stoic, should have more of a sense of authority to it. So I kinda doubt it's her.
The Actual Unicorn Gundam you forgot 3 mate none of the terms we've heard today are even finalized yet. although i do think most people here can that dolls sounds so much cooler than skells
All I wanted was info that we didn't already know from the Japanese direct, like English voice acting or something. Oh well, at least the gameplay from the treehouse made me excited to explore the world, not like I wasn't already excited.
Yami They didn't really expect people in the US to pay attention to all this news in Japan. Best believe you'll be seeing all the info you saw in Japanese all over again.
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 - 2016 Wii U era was a special, different time for me.
@Shin-Nioh I don't want this port, because today XCX is the last big exclusive game of this console and I have a limited edition that I want to resell a high price.
Alexander Volg Zangief Xenoblade Chronicles release date Japan: June 10, 2010 'murica: April 6, 2012 You can never overestimate the power of late release dates!
***** That's what I'd like to believe. Localization works are already in motion since january 2015. Nintendo can't pass through E3 without revealing an exact release date. We've already waited for too long.
joinmebowser9000 Well Nintendo weren't planning to bring Xenoblade Chronicles over until people demanded it. But X was always gonna come over so it won't be that long of a wait. We'll get it by years end.
If this game comes out in North America, I will be getting a Wii U. I've been playing Xenoblade Chronicles on my New 3DS and it's been an amazing experience. I love the factor of how wherever u look, you CAN get there and explore no matter how far or how impossible it looks to get there. Loving Xenoblade Chronicles so far.
LuCkY ShOtZ Good to see people are enjoying it, as it's my second play through, I'm doing 100% (a mind numbing task) Just out of curiosity, what was your most recent character (in numbers to avoid spoilers, 1 2 3 4 5 6 7) I've been hearing people that already beat the game (somehow) and that just got out of colony 9...
+Siren Cresselia Do you mean by which character that last joined my team orrr? I am almost at Prison Island, if that tells you anything. Sorry for the Mild Spoilers.
While we don't have a western release date at this point I know I'll be playing the game next week! YO, Mira baby, April 28th is right around the corner!
MC Mark Markson Not really. Look at the expanse and detail into the scenery, the amount of land your able to traverse. This isn't your average Wii U title.
***** Implying that the translations are actually good. Look up some Japanese info first and tell me if there's at least one decision here that wasn't necessary? The praise should go to Monolith soft and Nintendo's funding of them for the game, not Nintendo as it seems NOA has hired some questionable translators.
What a great time it would be for JRPG Disgaea 5 Fire Emblem If Final Fantasy XV Kingdom Hearts 3 Persona 5 Star Ocean 5 Xenoblade Chronicles X Yokai Watch Ys 8 It's good to be a Nintendo / Playstation Owner.
Everyone was used to "dolls", everyone knows what "dolls" are. But still, they called them "Skells". No idea what it means, so I looked up Wikipedia: "Skell, as a stereotypical or archetypal designation, refers to a person who is homeless, vagrant or derelict. It is often used to connote such a person who is habitually engaged in small-time criminal activity, especially by one working as a con artist or panhandler." ... Nice choice Nintendo.
Cell Eater it's probably short for exoskeleton or skeleton like the others said, but that's an interesting find. maybe they thought the american audience would prefer something other than doll? doll does not necessarily have bad connotations, but is maybe more feminine sounding, at least for english people. Jay Smith might also have a good point. the humans are technically "homeless", leaving their destroyed planet and inhabiting this one, which may make them reliant on the established races. why the mechs would be called that and not the people by that logic is debatable, but interesting.
boredom245 YOU MEAN I COULD SPEND *HOURS* WALKING SO THAT I COULD FISH!? YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayy...
@T101G Hey since the Announcement of XCXDE, what Xenoblade Chronicles X Music have you been listening to? I've been listening to Uncontrollable and Wir fliegen, mostly Wir fliegen ( I like it more ) I haven't played the game, but I have listen to the music a bit here and there.
ja fi Not me. I prefer Skells and I honestly don't understand why people prefer to call them dolls. Calling your cool, transforming, weaponized mech a doll doesn't sound right to me.
This was WAY too short. There was only two things I wanted from this. Footage of the english version of the game and a release date. I got NEITHER. I'm honestly very disappointed. At least the treehouse demo is cool to watch.
getting the feeling that some of the people in the comments are too impatient for a release date. The way I see it the further away the release date is, the more work the company can put into the game to make it better. Have patience, comment section
***** Oh... I... I done goofed. I just read his comment and my jimmies got rustled. It just really irks me when people in these comments call developers lazy for taking their time on an product that has a lot of attention to detail and is going for the highest quality just because they aren't "releasing it on time".
I was never interested in WiiU until now. It's a wonder how I missed the original Xenoblade Chronicles on the Wii. I love rpgs too. What a missed opportunity! I must play this game!
It doesn't sound like a professional voice actor, at least not a particularly good one. I can't see the devs allowing a subpar English dub for such a mainstream game.
Ughhhh the pretty graphics and environments, the unique monster designs, _that MUSIC_!! Definitely going to get this game, and sooo gonna get the soundtrack. It's Sawano Hiroyuki!! I recently bought his "BEST OF VOCALS WORKS [nZk]", and I'm in love. It has vocal songs from anime he's worked on, such as Gundam UC, Guilty Crown, Blue Exorcist, Attack on Titan, Kill la Kill, and 1 from both Sengoku Basara and Aldnoah... I love his work.
I have played the first Xenoblade chronicles on wii back then and as a veteran player of the series I will say that I cannot wait for Xenoblade chronicles X to get here.
It had some gems, some diamonds in the rough if you will, but in retrospect it just... kinda fell short. Which is kinda sad for those gems that were left behind in the transition to the Switch.
@@ShermTank7272 Had some gems? That is why all Switch best sellers are Wii U ports? :P Only thing I really missed with Wii U was official GameCube support (modded wii u plays GC games native) and a openworld Pokemon game.
Good stream. For someone who's been following the Japanese directs this was nothing new. But the majority of the people are only keeping up with the English updates. However, I found the treehouse showcase very interesting with a ton of gameplay footage.
I've seen large game worlds but GEEZE! I'm going to get the 1st game on the 3DS and if it has a world like this I will be shocked. This world is MASSIVE!
Ok, I've just recently gotten into xenoblade chronicles so I haven't seen many of the X stuff. That cleared up I can just imagine the amazing views that can be made using the hopper drone.
they should've kept the Skells being named Dolls, it makes more sense than Skell and also makes a simple thing sound awesome for those who don't know, a skell is a homeless person
This is what the Wii U has needed from day 1 to save it. Games like this. big grand adventures and something no one else has. The PS4 and 360 have nno JRPGs of any merit and there hasnt been one on the last gen for a a long time. I havent played much of my Wii u for a very long time. This game could be my Wii Us saving grace
*Sigh* The top comments and pretty much everywhere else are filled with people saying how disappointed they are about no release dates(obviously saved for E3) and other small things. DEPRESSING. Nobody is talking about how amazing this game is.
My god why didn't they just show this and then a release date and call it a day. The treehouse put me to sleep. I know why they made the Treehouse apart of the direct, is because Nintendo STILL think their fans only play Nintendo games, Mario, Zelda and Pokemon and never played a JRPG.
Posey yeah, like xenoblade chronicles 3d, out now. it'll probably be better than this game. and I hate to say that because xenoblade chronicles is my favorite game, and I was really excited for this sequel, but the more I see of it, the more cynical I become about it. I don't know if it's the setting, or the customizable protagonist, or the fact that they haven't announced an American release date. something just seems... off about it.
Please, everyone, stop asking for a release date. It's obviously too early to tell... Why would you want a release date that might ultimately get pushed back?
Sanic Fast mate a release date is what everyone whose been following this game for awhile been waiting for. especially at this kind of time when there is no news left to hold people over. Frankly speaking i'd rather have some information on the release of this game than be completely left in the dark
Sanic Fast Well, Japan is getting it in one week, so people want it soon too. But in the other case, FE comes out in June in Japan, while it comes out in 2016 in America, so something like that might happen.
Sanic Fast Because the game was announced 2 years ago, Japan is getting it in less than a week and from what we know currently, the Wii U doesn't have many big titles coming this year. That's why people want to know when this highly anticipated game is coming out.
This game is crazy - it takes all the best elelments of those nostaligic 2D RPG's like battles, characters and areas and just evolves them totally to the next level of Epic. Anyone who says those oldskool 2D/isometric turn-based RPG's are better than this is crazy. Next level gaming right here.
Nintendo is not holding back anymore, they are now bringing out the big guns (literally) and going in a all out battle in the gaming industry This plus more games coming from cute yet enjoyable games to crazy epic games like these, who knows what else they can pull off Perhaps a actual pokemon game on wii u is just enough to say the least Wii u has enormous potential that they are just biding there time and waiting to use there trump card at the right moment
AtTheEdgeOfTime Oh I know him. I love every single video he's in, makes me cringe and smile every time. I just didn't know him by name. To me he was just "that embarrassing cheesy robotic Nintendo guy" and that's how it's gonna stay because I'm ignoring that you told me his real name :P
Fully Skully Bill Trininen Bill Trininen Bill Trininen Bill Trininen Bill Trininen Bill Trininen Bill Trininen Bill...Clinton? XD jk I'm just trollin ya.
AtTheEdgeOfTime I'm sure he'd be a completely "normal" dude in real life if I ever met him but the way he is on camera... there's just something about him that makes me chuckle, let's leave it at that lol
Guys seriously?! I'm looking over the comments, and none of you even cared to say "Thank you" to Nintendo!!! Are you serious? The comments I'm seeing right now is, "Nintendo, when the heck is the game coming?!" Or "Nintendo, do this and that!" Cmon guys, they are working so hard to make games like this, and all we have to do is at least say thank you!!! They put tons of years into their games and what have we said or done in return? Be thankful guys. Nintendo, you are the greatest company, this game looks so beautiful and realistic. You guys are awesome and I loved y'all from the start. Thank you so much.
Yes I agree it's disappointing there is no release date and we haven't heard the english dub yet but I have a feeling they are waiting until it is completely done. Like who knows they may only have another 3 weeks of localization left to do and they just wanna make sure everything is done before showing it? You never know. Either way, I'm super hyped.
***** I am gonna be honest and say that I think it is going to be released around November and December. This is "The Wii U game" (Of this year, Zelda U is not going to be released this year and we still dont know nor have any kind of info of the new StarFox) and to be honest I feel that while they finish the localization and all they could just hold the game until November/December to boost the sales of the game. Also Splatoon is gonna be released on May and it's the new Nintendo IP so that means that they cant release Splatoon and Xenoblade together, that would be a disaster for Splatoon.
Doubt it. The game is about trying to save the human race. For my guess for the final boss it would be either the giant blue dragon, wierd blue alien, or a stolen skell.
Chad Kyer Xenoblade Chronicles was originally just going to be released in Europe from Project Rainfall, but Nintendo decided to bring it to America. Since they were lazy, they kept it as British dub.
***** Actually, those mechs are more based on Gundams, which are older than Tranformers. They even have a composer, writers, and designers that have worked in the Gundam franchise.
The intro reminds me of how a ride would start in Disney world
So true
SHUTupNrocK8 Now I miss Disney lol
ParaTimbre same.....
Simulated Doll/Skell ride over Mira like Space Mountain would be cool
So basically, we've learned 2 things:
1) Dolls are now called Skells
2) They're not far enough in localization to give a release date or show the English voice acting.
A bit disappointing, but I guess this was meant for the people who haven't been avidly keeping up with the Japanese news. Fair enough I guess.
The Actual Unicorn Gundam They probably just want to save the voice acting and release date to e3
***** the narrator couldn't even pronounce nopon correctly
*****
I actually don't have a problem with "Skell" it's like a shorthand for "exoskeleton" so it makes sense. Doll was kind of a bland name in the first place.
However, I doubt the voice actor here is Elma, the way the audio is balanced makes it sound like they just super imposed a female narrator voice on. I feel like Elma's voice, even if it is stoic, should have more of a sense of authority to it. So I kinda doubt it's her.
The Actual Unicorn Gundam you forgot 3 mate none of the terms we've heard today are even finalized yet. although i do think most people here can that dolls sounds so much cooler than skells
*****
I honestly don't mind either name because I'll still probably call them Gears on accident half the time.
All I wanted was info that we didn't already know from the Japanese direct, like English voice acting or something. Oh well, at least the gameplay from the treehouse made me excited to explore the world, not like I wasn't already excited.
Yami I really wanted an english build and a release date if not but a release window BUT NOPE NOT A SINGLE JAPANESE KANJI HAS BEEN LOCALIZED
Yami I'll move to Japan if you will
Yami They didn't really expect people in the US to pay attention to all this news in Japan. Best believe you'll be seeing all the info you saw in Japanese all over again.
AeroBlaze777 I'm not going to survive.
Yami I was hoping for that too. At this rate, it's looking like the game won't come out until the winter.
REALLY wish this would come to the Switch , such a beautiful game~
Bruh
Same!
Well!!! Wish Granted!!!
How do you now? It finally did
Now it will and you will only have to wait a few months.
Waiting for Bill to announcing a Xenoblade X switch port.
Wish granted. March 2025
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 - 2016 Wii U era was a special, different time for me.
This game still looks more beautifull today than 90% of the AAA games on Switch.
@Shin-Nioh I don't want this port, because today XCX is the last big exclusive game of this console and I have a limited edition that I want to resell a high price.
@@AmnesiaGm1lol I hope a remastwr comes out and tanks your limited edition's price
@@SomniaCE Even if it comes out, this should not affect the value of the Wii U version.
Bill looked extra silly in this direct.
***** This is a showcase not a direct.
avirx8 Well, whatever it is.
I thought he looked fine.
***** Let me correct you on that:
"Bill looks extra silly all the time."
How does he look extra silly?
Where's my release date, Nintendo of America?
***** While thats nice to inferJapan release dates and American release dates are not always neighbors

You can never overestimate the power of late release dates!

That's what I'd like to believe. Localization works are already in motion since january 2015.
Nintendo can't pass through E3 without revealing an exact release date. We've already waited for too long.
joinmebowser9000 Yeah but this game is actually anticipated for an American Release before production
joinmebowser9000 Well Nintendo weren't planning to bring Xenoblade Chronicles over until people demanded it. But X was always gonna come over so it won't be that long of a wait. We'll get it by years end.

PlayerEssence i just came from your channel and saw this! xD
Wait, this is a Wii U game? Looks like it should be a high end PC game. Good for Nintendo to show off their hardware
DarkfoX I don't know about a high end PC game. But this game certainly goes to show how far fantastic art direction can take you.
DarkfoX 9/10 for sarcasm
MC Mark Markson Not really. Look at the expanse and detail into the scenery, the amount of land your able to traverse. This isn't your average Wii U title.
DarkfoX it´s not bad, but compared to the Witcher 3 or GTA V? Nothing in Xenoblade would need a high end PC. Not sure why you said that.
I have GTA V for PC. All I'm saying is the game in whole looks like one of those higher end PC games not just visually but the game itself.
Monolith Soft once again is raising the bar of JRPG excellence.
After watching this. I have to say nintendo step up there game with this game. Also i'm sure Chugga is mind blown after seeing this.
He wants to go in blind so he's not watching any news
***** Implying that the translations are actually good. Look up some Japanese info first and tell me if there's at least one decision here that wasn't necessary? The praise should go to Monolith soft and Nintendo's funding of them for the game, not Nintendo as it seems NOA has hired some questionable translators.

It's gonna be awhile before I go outside again.
It's gonna be a while before you can do that with no release date.

Go back to translate maps expensively
Natanhael Alvarado I feel like making the Triforce Quest longer, so no.

Well im just gonna say, its 2024 and it finally happened guys!
This was the shortest direct I have ever experienced!
Edit: Never mind.
Minato Togami Nowhere did it say it was a direct. It clearly says showcase.
Neostar617 I did not even know they were showcasing anything. If this was a Direct it would be big news all over RUclips.

***** nope. it wasn't.
***** Those people were idiots, simple as that.
Show of hands right now how many are you here since it got announced for Switch?!
It is time to return home to Planet Mira
this game was basically the Wii Us BoTW yet everyone ignored it just because it didnt have zelda written on it and it was on the Wii U, tragic
this is why people buy Wii U even though they already have PC
Khandar William Owning both Wii U and PC are a great combination.
Khandar William exactly, best combo ever, you get all the third parties and exclusives from pc, and the best exclusives from nintendo
+Khandar William I know! I just got a terabite just so I can download the whole game. I only have a WiiU, but I will agree that PC is really great.

Everyone was used to "dolls", everyone knows what "dolls" are. But still, they called them "Skells". No idea what it means, so I looked up Wikipedia:

Cell Eater i think it's supposed to be short for exoskeleton
***** personally i prefer "Dolls" over "Skells"
Technically, the human race is homeless coming to Mira so...
Cell Eater it's probably short for exoskeleton or skeleton like the others said, but that's an interesting find. maybe they thought the american audience would prefer something other than doll? doll does not necessarily have bad connotations, but is maybe more feminine sounding, at least for english people.

I've been listening to Uncontrollable and Wir fliegen, mostly Wir fliegen ( I like it more ) I haven't played the game, but I have listen to the music a bit here and there.
anyone else prefer dolls over skells?
ja fi I would have preferred just calling them mechs rather than skells
A mech by any other name would look as badass.
123Atheist Really? Calling them "mechs" would have been incredibly generic after "Gears", "E.S.", and "Faces".
Sam Hartman maybe "skells" will just have to grow on me. I had already gotten used to "Dolls"
ja fi Not me. I prefer Skells and I honestly don't understand why people prefer to call them dolls. Calling your cool, transforming, weaponized mech a doll doesn't sound right to me.
Jesus, the full map of Xenoblade X has 400km².
Just for the sake of comparison, Skyrim's full map has less than 50km².
My ✨BLADE✨ brothers and sisters, IT'S TIME!
This was WAY too short.

Please release Xenoblade Chronicles X on the Switch!
It's been a long road, but wish granted. March 2025
The Nav Ball is such a good idea! A vast improvement on the arrow in Xenoblade Chronicles that took some of the fun out of the wonder of exploration
I was never interested in WiiU until now. It's a wonder how I missed the original Xenoblade Chronicles on the Wii. I love rpgs too. What a missed opportunity! I must play this game!
I'm happy with whatever they can give me. Nintendo always has a trick up their sleeve and I love it c:
Oho, that BETTER not be Elma's voice..
It doesn't sound like a professional voice actor, at least not a particularly good one. I can't see the devs allowing a subpar English dub for such a mainstream game.

Posey I have a bad feeling it will be her voice.
Dragohax16 I have a really bad feeling it may be her voice.

Weren't the skells called dolls before?
Like the original Xenoblade, X is going to have some naming differences between the Japanese and international versions.
Its a spiritual successor
Marvel fan im confused so its not a sequel
So Like final fantasy
I guess they don't want us to play with dolls anymore
Ok, I've just recently gotten into xenoblade chronicles so I haven't seen many of the X stuff. That cleared up I can just imagine the amazing views that can be made using the hopper drone.
they should've kept the Skells being named Dolls, it makes more sense than Skell and also makes a simple thing sound awesome
for those who don't know, a skell is a homeless person

Wow this game looks gorgeous. I'm about it finish Xenoblade Chronicles and seeing this video got me hyped for the next one.
My god why didn't they just show this and then a release date and call it a day. The treehouse put me to sleep. I know why they made the Treehouse apart of the direct, is because Nintendo STILL think their fans only play Nintendo games, Mario, Zelda and Pokemon and never played a JRPG.
nano69ify Except the 3ds has an extremely high amount of JRPG's
Console JRPGs are rare these days. Most of the JRPGs are on the 3DS and Vita.
Stop whining about a release date, it's probably too early to tell. Better to not get a release date at all than get one and have it pushed back.
Posey yeah, like xenoblade chronicles 3d, out now. it'll probably be better than this game. and I hate to say that because xenoblade chronicles is my favorite game, and I was really excited for this sequel, but the more I see of it, the more cynical I become about it. I don't know if it's the setting, or the customizable protagonist, or the fact that they haven't announced an American release date. something just seems... off about it.
nano69ify says Nintendo fans don't play JRPGs, then brings up Pokemon. Lol on another note, the 3DS is filled with JRPG goodness.
This will be a good year for Nintendo I'M REALLY FEELING IT!
Put this on Switch pls
I have good news about that.
@@someguy4566 bro. we won
@@lyinginertiaWe did!, we sure did!!! 😭
I finally get to play it! 😆
Perhaps xenoblade x is a prequal to chronicles? I mean thats what I think. It'd be a great twist :D
Please remastered to Switch please!!!
This will be the first game i pick up on release day in quite a while.
Please, everyone, stop asking for a release date. It's obviously too early to tell... Why would you want a release date that might ultimately get pushed back?
because Japan is getting it VERY soon, I think less than a week
Sanic Fast mate a release date is what everyone whose been following this game for awhile been waiting for. especially at this kind of time when there is no news left to hold people over. Frankly speaking i'd rather have some information on the release of this game than be completely left in the dark
Sanic Fast Well, Japan is getting it in one week, so people want it soon too. But in the other case, FE comes out in June in Japan, while it comes out in 2016 in America, so something like that might happen.
Sanic Fast Because the game was announced 2 years ago, Japan is getting it in less than a week and from what we know currently, the Wii U doesn't have many big titles coming this year. That's why people want to know when this highly anticipated game is coming out.
Optimistic Charizard Whats FE
This game is crazy - it takes all the best elelments of those nostaligic 2D RPG's like battles, characters and areas and just evolves them totally to the next level of Epic.
Anyone who says those oldskool 2D/isometric turn-based RPG's are better than this is crazy.
Next level gaming right here.
Amazing graphics !!
'Nopon with their claw-like ears'? Those are wings, haven't you played Xenoblade Chronicles for the Wii? O.o
Nintendo is not holding back anymore, they are now bringing out the big guns (literally) and going in a all out battle in the gaming industry
This plus more games coming from cute yet enjoyable games to crazy epic games like these, who knows what else they can pull off
Perhaps a actual pokemon game on wii u is just enough to say the least
Wii u has enormous potential that they are just biding there time and waiting to use there trump card at the right moment
Yeah pokken tournment is coming too! It will be competing with smash bros for the best fighting game on wii u
I'm getting more excited for this game as every day goes by.
The intro guy though xD So bad I love it.
AtTheEdgeOfTime Oh I know him. I love every single video he's in, makes me cringe and smile every time. I just didn't know him by name. To me he was just "that embarrassing cheesy robotic Nintendo guy" and that's how it's gonna stay because I'm ignoring that you told me his real name :P
Fully Skully Bill Trininen Bill Trininen Bill Trininen Bill Trininen Bill Trininen Bill Trininen Bill Trininen Bill...Clinton? XD jk I'm just trollin ya.
AtTheEdgeOfTime I'm sure he'd be a completely "normal" dude in real life if I ever met him but the way he is on camera... there's just something about him that makes me chuckle, let's leave it at that lol
It's said that bill was the inspiration behind villager.
Guys seriously?! I'm looking over the comments, and none of you even cared to say "Thank you" to Nintendo!!! Are you serious? The comments I'm seeing right now is, "Nintendo, when the heck is the game coming?!" Or "Nintendo, do this and that!" Cmon guys, they are working so hard to make games like this, and all we have to do is at least say thank you!!! They put tons of years into their games and what have we said or done in return? Be thankful guys. Nintendo, you are the greatest company, this game looks so beautiful and realistic. You guys are awesome and I loved y'all from the start. Thank you so much.
Wtf was I so mad about 😂☠️
Did anyone else think that "skells" was a misspelled version of "skills" at first? XD
John Sanderson Yep.
John Sanderson I thought so too, only to find out it was much more horrible.
Yes I agree it's disappointing there is no release date and we haven't heard the english dub yet but I have a feeling they are waiting until it is completely done. Like who knows they may only have another 3 weeks of localization left to do and they just wanna make sure everything is done before showing it? You never know. Either way, I'm super hyped.
So you guys have been showing this off since January of 2013 and still no release date?
Ahem* zelda u ahem*
Alex Bianchi Japan has a release date, but the localization doesn't. Dubbing and translating such a huge game takes time.
well that's good to know Rabbit Naess. now the only question left is should i expect the game to come out August or December?
I honestly think we'll have a release date by E3/the next direct, whichever comes first.
***** I am gonna be honest and say that I think it is going to be released around November and December. This is "The Wii U game" (Of this year, Zelda U is not going to be released this year and we still dont know nor have any kind of info of the new StarFox) and to be honest I feel that while they finish the localization and all they could just hold the game until November/December to boost the sales of the game. Also Splatoon is gonna be released on May and it's the new Nintendo IP so that means that they cant release Splatoon and Xenoblade together, that would be a disaster for Splatoon.
I really hope that if we don't get a port of this game to switch, we at least get another game in the same really sci-fi and open world style as it.
I think B.L.A.D.E will be the antagonists at the end. Anyone else?
James McDaid Tatsu will be the final boss.
Errr...spoiler alert?
Tatsu will do a space-time travel to stole Reyn's catch phrase. IT'S TATSU TIME!
Soul ソウル No... That's not the power of the Monado...
Doubt it. The game is about trying to save the human race. For my guess for the final boss it would be either the giant blue dragon, wierd blue alien, or a stolen skell.
I can't wait for this game... This will hold me over until ZeldaU
Raise your hand if your broke XD
THE MUSIC
My poor wallet...
I thought it would be a little longer :-/
The treehouse stuff is not included in here it seems, that was pretty extensive.
Nice! Hopefully they put that out later.
Blocked
AMAZING BIG EPIC GAME for sure I will LOVE this game.
So, skells are basically playing as a mechon?
PyroIs Shy Xenoblade was pretty much the only Xeno game where you DON'T get to control the mechs, so yeah.
This game looks unbelievably beautiful. Can't wait!
Please on Switch
Your wish has been granted.
Im still calling the Mechs Dolls it just sounds so much better then Skells
Does this mean X will not have British accents? I never understood why Chronicles had that.
Chad Kyer Xenoblade Chronicles was originally just going to be released in Europe from Project Rainfall, but Nintendo decided to bring it to America. Since they were lazy, they kept it as British dub.
Chad Kyer It was localized in Europe/UK before the released in the US. No need to switch up VA's for North America.
Ahh that makes sense. Thanks for that bit of info guys.
Chad Kyer No problem. ☺
Chad Kyer i need the british accents
i neeeed them
Skells.. they're still dolls to me :). Damn it I want to play this game.
Xenoblade Transformers
***** More than meets the eye...
***** More like Xenogears Open-World.
***** Actually, those mechs are more based on Gundams, which are older than Tranformers. They even have a composer, writers, and designers that have worked in the Gundam franchise.
10/10 "A game of massive proportions..." -IGN
Man this was more like a teaser Nintendo you are evil!!! You continue to keep stealing my wallet...
i think i played this game for 11 or 12 hours the first day it came out, i want a sequel!!!
No Shulk? 7.8/10 I'm not really feeling it.
What part of spiritual successor do you people not understand
+Knil U can alwyas make him as ur character (character customization)
+BlackTheDude Yeah, they even have his voice as an option!
Bill Zypher Yup
Bill mentioned metroid!! This is bigger than the grumps acknowledging Jon again!!!
Hey guys. Guys!
Do you have what it takes to beat my Skells?
:D ....
Pretty sick. Don't purchase games that often for me to play, but will do so with this one.
Shut up and take my money
These graphics look amazing. The textures on this Bill Trinen character are particularly convincing except for the dead, dead eyes.
