I wonder what kind of sequel this will be? Are we (XC spoilers coming up)in the near future after XC and might even see familiar characters? Or are we in the far future? Heck, we might not even be on the same world since Shulk remade the universe.
I really don't think that Mario game is 90% done. There are noticeable artifacts in the video, the graphical quality in some sections is really poor, and you don't actually see much gameplay, just him running places.
If it is a sequel.... the only character i see returning is Melia

I could see some of the Machina characters (like Vanea) making an appearance. I think that's far more likely than Melia.
Does Monolith Soft have two teams? I just dont see how they could be making this so soon after X.
2017 for JPN maybe.
They have a support studio in Kyoto led by Honne, but they've been hiring a bunch for both offices. It's possible they pipelined development of this game while still in the middle of making X. I wouldn't be surprised if Koh Kojima is off working on the X sequel on his own.
I like the new faces, gives them way more personality as what we had in X, they were just ugly.
They can probably use X assets to help shorten development too right?

The character design "looks more like" so it becomes a tales of ?Nice, after two great Xenoblade games, they want to kill the series with those stupid looking characters. Looks more like Tales of game than Xenoblade. :/
Oh yeah a jrpg series will be killed because you don't like the characters. There's nothing else about this game.Nice, after two great Xenoblade games, they want to kill the series with those stupid looking characters. Looks more like Tales of game than Xenoblade. :/
Character design looks BAAAD. Not XCX bad but close.
The first Xenoblade still has the best character design.
So much fucking hyperbole in this thread. They're damned if they do, damned if they don't with some people. The change in art style and characters is a huge step up from X, and even I felt that X wasn't as bad as some people made it out to be.
I don't think they hit lightning in a bottle with Xenoblade Chronicles, do people not understand the pedigree that Monolith has and the quality they've put out over the years? While each of their games has pros and cons, they've been very successful in crafting unique works that usually stand the test of time.
We've only seen a small teaser, but I for one am happy that they've decided to revisit the Xenoblade Chronicles world, and many of the original composers have returned.
But you know, fucking anime artstyle.

It blows my mind if people are being genuine with attacking the characters. The characters are good enough. All I care is to see the world and gameplay. I want to hear the AMAZING music and see how fun it will be to play just like Xenoblade Chronicles.
This game would have started development in early 2015, just before the japanese launch. So at this stage Monolithsoft's been developing Xeno 2 for 2 years now.
So I believe it's coming this year.
As much as I agree with you I think you're not using the right term.I think a lot of shit in here is straight up trolling. The character design is a huge step up from X's doll design, and while it is very anime-inspired, there's nothing wrong with that.
Maybe if the characters were inspired by boy bands or western developers, people wouldn't be complaining.
Let's buy that holiday bundle together. Also the same plan I had in mind !Would be godly
This and Mario could push me toward a (obvious? ) holiday bundle
Why is everyone assuming it's a sequel ?
Just because there's a red sword ?
It actually wouldn't make sense considering Xenoblade's story.
edit: nm
Would it be the first series to release numbered titles that doesn't share the exat same world ?Because it's called Xenoblade 2.
Isn't Mario supposed to be in December ?I would not be surprised if this released in December of 2017.
Is this intended to be a direct sequel to the first game?
Judging the new characters, new look and such, you'd think it'd be its own standalone installment, much like how X was. Maybe they could of called it "Xenoblade Chronicles Z" or something, lol. That's what I thought it would be called before they announced the title in the trailer.
I think body animations etc will be the sameI'm looking forward to better facial and body movements. The ones in X were horribly stiff.
But having a "2" doesn't mean it's a sequel anyway.Is this intended to be a direct sequel to the first game?

Why would a sword automaticaly be Monado ? For me it also wouldn't make sense after Xenoblade.Looks like there was a monado, probably takes place after the events of the first game.
It perfectly ends and does't need a sequel so I'm sure even if there are links, it won't be big enough to make people have to play the first one id order to really enjoy it.I never finished Xenoblade 1. I got to a point where giant spiders followed me late one night and NOPED out of the game.
Can someone that finished it tell me if the story ends in a way that could make this a direct sequel and require me to finish the game?

People were assuming XenobladeX was related to Xenoblade and it already didn't make sense so I think it would be safer to not jump to conclusions yet.

Final Fantasy is an obivous example.Would it be the first series to release numbered titles that doesn't share the exat same world ?
I hope it's not a one char ARPG and sticks to the party format of the prior Xenoblade games.
Interesting that the EU trailers have a 12 rating and the North American trailer still has "rating pending".
Also noticed the font style for the subtitles in the trailer is the same font Nintendo of Europe used for the subtitles in Xenoblade Chronicles.
I think we're getting a British dub, guys.
ExactlyFinal Fantasy is an obivous example.
The producer said before that the "next Xenoblade" would be more traditional "like the first Xenoblade" so it's safe to assume it'll be far closer to 1 than X.I kept skipping this topic, assuming it was an up-port of the WiiU game to pad out the launch window. Now I feel like a moron for forgetting that was called XCX.
Loved the first game, hoping they stick a little closer to its structure even if it's not a direct our related sequel.
Yes.Xenoblade x isnt Xenoblade 2, right?
I mean exactly because they went from a weird X to a more straight 2

Btw has anyone made an estimate on the script size, assuming the trailer wasn't just using bullocks as flavoring? Behind Takahashi's name reveal, they were showing off 3 different pages of the game script, and they had page numbers indicating a total of 1124 pages or something like that. Each page isn't very long though.
Considering "anime" can be anything, it really seems like poor/fast judgment only over the design itself.Anime literally does nothing for me - can't stand the style, don't enjoy stuff using it. I'm not the only person with that view - so for anyone thinking that, this reveal was a bad thing.
