Dude you are so excited like a little child on Christmas as a veteran of this game while as a newcomer Im also jumping up and down with excitement lol thats marketing done right
I was the one who thought the black knight’s voice was Ray Chase because it sounded a lot like the voice he uses for the Master of Masters. I personally have doubts that it’s Malos because apparently the Japanese voice actor for the black knight isn’t the Seiryuu for Malos.
It's FINALLY HAPPENING!! And yeah, my biggest reason for having a Wii U will be gone in March lol. Looking forward to the new story stuff and QoL features. Hopefully the next trailer will go into some of the changes and I think the biggest most want is improvements to the menu and party management. I'm not sure what to think about that new line or who it might be, but it's so short it could be anyone. I wonder if it's an adjusted version of the X model or a completely new one since the original model actually has a helmet on. Anyway, thanks for your thoughts on this Nishquik and I'm looking forward to the next few months of Xenoblade X discussions!
I am super excited to finally play it. I love the soundtrack. Question: How does the open world compare with BoTW/ToTK as well as the level and environment design of from Xenoblade 1-3?
This game really utilizes the 40 second rule very well. Everywhere you go you'll most likely find something to do, whether it's a tough enemy, an interesting new location/point of interest, a quest to do, a piece of treasure, etc. Also the verticality is very well incorporated into the world since you can jump very high and fly in your skell (you also don't take fall damage). Compared to XC 1-3 it's most similar to 3 in its regions that have no loading zones. Mira on the other hand has 0 loading zones unless you fast travel so that's another Zelda comparison. The frontier nav gameplay loop and exploration is very similar to the affinity goal system in Future Redeemed and it was very great seeing that concept return in Future Redeemed. You're really rewarded for your exploration in this game.
It doesn't sound like Cross, so at the minimum, I don't think we have to worry about them pulling a: This is why Cross was amnesiac at the start of X. It's an N and Noah situation (more origin references) again. Something happened on Mira and whatever it was resulted in a mim that has Cross' fighting capabilities, but none of his memories. But then again, it could also be that the real Cross was the template j-bodies come from in terms of fighting capabilities. We already know that the lifehold can "mix" things together. Depending on if we get Elma lore in the new content, it's potentially possible that black knight was Elma's old partner on the dual-pilot Ares that defended Earth and we're finally seeing what happened to him after he and Elma got separated in the chaos escaping Earth. This would be insane though. That'd mean Elma probably figured out we're possibly a j-body based off of Black Knight and just never told us. Just dropped hints here and there about how "similar" we are to her old partner. Takahashi does like re-using slightly modified versions of previous themes and characters after all. The main issue I see with this is if they were gonna go for that, I'd assume his VA would be an option for Cross. However, Archer Emiya and Shirou Emiya happened to avoid spoiling the plot twist, so it's not like it's impossible either. The real insane moment would be the real Cross having the Logos core in a similar manner to Na'el when Alpha latched onto her--meaning not only did we get Malos back, we got his driver (or at least one of his avatars) too.
On the little thing you were saying about the xenogears Zohar In xenogears the zohar is described as a being from a higher dimension who can travel to lower plane of reality, so let’s say the main universe and the X universe aren’t canon to each other but existing alongside each other on the same plane of reality as each other, the Zohar definitely would be able to make the jump from the main verse to the X verse and vice versa
Hope you make sure to hide the evidence of the Wii U when disposing it's shattered body lol BUT YES, Finally! I've been waiting so long for it since I mentioned in other videos, about why need it's a remaster or a continuation. And ngl, I was leaning on to emulate it for a long time, as I was losing faith. Even if I did get some comments about it likely being tied to Switch 2 announcement. BUT GUESS WHAT THEY ANNOUNCED IT RANDOMLY, and Now I can FINALLY play it next year! Definitely saving up for my next paycheck to get this immediately for Pre-Order so I can play it Frame 1 when it comes. Tho it's also coming next to Atelier Yumia, so I'll be switching occasionally depending on the mood haha. Alas, can't wait to FINALLY PLAY THIS and feel complete with the Xenoblade series in general (before the next one gets announced).
I'd say default Cross is definitely changed up a notable amount from OG XCX. Between hair volume, eye size, etc there's a definite discrepancy. Makes me excited to see how they might tweak the other created character faces.
So so far no one is 100% who is the voice actor for the black knight. All I know from what I have read via comments on other videos covering this topic is that the Japanese voice actor for the black knight isn’t the person who voices Malos (which apparently they would do for voicing different versions of the same character as in the case of Rex) so it’s still a mystery. Honestly I thought it was Ray Chase but apparently he already is a voiced character in the game (L) so it’s not him. I know it’s definitely not Matthew Mercer (he has a distinctive voice which I would recognize based on the roles I know him from) so my current list of possible actors is zilch.
At this point, Nintendo might as well just reveal the Metroid Prime 2 and 3 Remasters or Fire Emblem 4 Remake (tho I think that would be a good selling point for Switch 2 haha). Heck, since other companies are giving to drop in random announcements whenever they feel like it, Square Enix should do the same lol.
Omg where have I been this absolutely amazing thank you broooo wooooo hoooooo god damn I can’t wait wow am losing my mind I love this game I’d lost a lot of things in my life during this time and bought this game and it saved my life literally
20:53 -- Uhh, you know, you CAN play Xenoblade X on the Wii U WITHOUT the tablet. It is Pro Controller compatible. The Switch version is gonna be the same as when you're playing without the tablet. 🤷♂
Dude you are so excited like a little child on Christmas as a veteran of this game while as a newcomer Im also jumping up and down with excitement lol thats marketing done right
Can't wait for you to try this out!!! 😎
watched the whole video! love that theory of Malos being in X, that would be amazing!
I was the one who thought the black knight’s voice was Ray Chase because it sounded a lot like the voice he uses for the Master of Masters. I personally have doubts that it’s Malos because apparently the Japanese voice actor for the black knight isn’t the Seiryuu for Malos.
Heavy breathing*
I was holding in my hatred for my Wii U this entire time and finally let it all out 😂😂
lol😂 you had me at the beginning
Don't worry my Wii U is still intact! 😂
I've enjoyed the 3 XC games on Switch and heard so much about XCX. Never had a Wii U so I am excited to finally get to play this game on Switch
It's FINALLY HAPPENING!!

Yeah I noticed he looks a bit different from the original cutscene! Thanks for watching!
RIP WII U
I was so close to demolishing it!!! 😂😂
A great day for Switch owners.
It says Xenoblade, and it has giant robots im already down
I’m so excited to play this as this is the last Xenoblade game I’ve been wanting to play!! 😁🥹
THE HYPE IS REALLLLL
I had to be so careful darting around the spoiler heavy section of the video, but I will faint from hype if the hooded figure is actually Malos 👀
Duuuude I'd screeeamm if it's him!!

Yeah I think the Japanese VA not being Malos could rule that out. This guy being Elma's partner is very likely though!

Yeah we need those games, TP/WW, and Kid Icarus and we're set!!
This game is the greatest gaming experience I've ever had....and possibly ever will.
This must've felt walking into real Elysium
I hope the game gets a nice little performance patch for the new console. If it's coming out in march and the new console is holiday I can wait.
With backwards compatibility it could get a nice boost!
Omg where have I been this absolutely amazing thank you broooo wooooo hoooooo god damn I can’t wait wow am losing my mind I love this game I’d lost a lot of things in my life during this time and bought this game and it saved my life literally
While youre taking a break from the Xeno series I have a suggestion, start the Trails series
I'm definitely planning on starting Trails when the Sky remake drops!
The update in a future direct could be otherworldly. I do hope they don't give away major things like they did for Future Redeemed.
I have a feeling XBX:DE is gonna be a duel release for Switch & Switch 2 (similar to how Breath of the Wild had a duel release for WiiU and Switch).
I was about to scream “oh no but Nintendo Land!” when I thought you were gonna actually hammer your Wii U 😭
Wind Waker and Twilight Princess HD too lol
20:53 -- Uhh, you know, you CAN play Xenoblade X on the Wii U WITHOUT the tablet. It is Pro Controller compatible. The Switch version is gonna be the same as when you're playing without the tablet. 🤷♂
Had to skip the spoilers but I can’t wait to finally play this game
Ohhh nice! I didn't know you haven't played it yet!!
I almost left the video within 30 seconds 😂
Haha I remembered I still need it for Wind Waker HD!
It STILL doesn’t seem real.
I'm gonna buy this and not play it!
You're a scrub
