Xenoblade Chronicles 2

[firemanBk]

This shyt looks like a miss. I'm still excited for it but seems like another big ass game with little story. JRPG's without a story are especially bad. And where the fukk is the release date? It's damn near September.

It's a story focused game.
They made sure to point that out as the reason why this is called Xenoblade 2 when there was already Xenoblade X.
Main Series - Story Based
X Series (if they ever decide to make more) - Exploration based

Just a guess but I think first week of December just like X

So it's really coming out this year?

Well apparently the game was rated in Australia today
View Title | Australian Classification

So, I would imagine it's pretty close to complete in terms of content. I guess the next few months will be spent on "polishing" the game as they were eluding to at E3.
Steady 30 fps here we come *fingers crossed*

That's X not vanilla chronicles.

they had mechs in the original.

they had mechs in the original.

I'm pretty sure he was referring to rideable mechs like in Xenogears or X.
As in ridable by the player before you say that face mechon were ridable
The boss they showed in the gameplay was a giant robot so there are still enemies like that

Am I the only one that doesn't have a problem with the art style? The characters faces actually move now and are very expressive. Chronicles had next to no facial animations and outside of Elma, X had the worst character models I've ever seen in a AAA HD title

I dig the artstyle as I'm into anime. But the main character's threads though...

How many times do JRPG's miss on that? It's almost like a running gag at this point.

Still cant believe this is coming this year, another developer would have delayed this 3 or 4 times already.

This comes out Friday and i'm not even remotely interested

 

[Just like bruddas]

How does this connect to Xenogears?

 

[Threnody]

First Switch game I'm interested in....waiting for reviews tho

 

[winb83]

How does this connect to Xenogears?

it doesn't. Xenogears is forever a stand alone game. Xenosaga is what you'd be looking for if you wanted something that almost connects with it. Xenosaga uses plot elements from other planned games in the Xenogears planned series.

Especially the way the game looked when they first showed it off running at like 10fps, I think most were certain this was 2018 at best and were when Nintendo gave a 2017 release date.

Speaking of other companies, we better see FFVIIR at PSX, it's been 2 full years and we've seen like one screenshot since.
