My interest (or at least excitement) would be badly damaged by it being an MMO. Making a large game like this work well and be consistently fun is difficult enough for single player. In theory multiplayer would fill a gap but it seems to always just add more complications, especially of the budget variety.
This game isn't a MMO. This isn't FF 14.
I know that, I'm looking at this as a hypothetical idea.
But yeah, if it was an MMO, we would know already. A single player open world RPG isn't new, so I don't know why people are confused.
XCX is pretty much what Final Fantasy and even the Tales series should be now. Monolith is amazing and I really hope they start up another JRPG for Wii U after XCX gets released. I would like Monolith to do their own version of Persona.

@CanisWolfred they do that, but sometimes you have too few translators for how many games are in development.
Also, since this is MonolithSoft and not Nintendo R&D, I think it may be translated/localized by a different team than typical Nintendo games.
Which means they can do it at the same time as development.
I think you misunderstood me.
No, I understood perfectly. I'm saying the information you gave me does nothing but further my own point. Monolithsoft isn't going to have a different translating process. NoA is the one in charge of the localization, and they should be working with the writers of Xenoblade to make sure the releases are closer together. This isn't 1999 anymore. Even Atlus does that. Marvelous more or less bought XSEED to do that. Square-Enix does that sometimes and when they don't do that, they suffer significantly (unless it's Bravely Default for some reason). I'm saying Nintendo needs to do that, because it'll only help them, especially when there's no good excuse not to do that in this day and age.
Monolithsoft isn't second party. Nintendo own majority shares. It's first party, and it's Ninty's decision. Even if it wasn't, I think people learned that Xenoblade and RPGs in general are welcome enough overseas that in this case they don't need to "watch the market" before starting the localization process.
So... "Cross" is the default main character's name in XCX.... Monolith should've copied Mass Effect's handling of Commander Shepard. No-one likes a lifeless protagonist and I bet that will only be the flaw in the game.

and Monolith Soft worked on Namco crossover game Project X Zone. And Nintendo is close with Namco Bandai right now. And Nintendo wants crossover work with other companies.
I don't think it will happen honestly, but it would be cool and make sense.
The reason I thought of it is that they remixed the main battle theme of Baten Kaitos Origins for Smash.
And I thought that was a franchise long forgotten...
I know it doesn't mean anything, but the fact that they're still acknowledging the games in ANY sort of way, though small, gives me a little hope at least.
But you're right, it probably won't happen.
Monolith is amazing... just like Retro Studios... just like Nintendo EAD... Nintendo should be having these 3 studios working constantly. All should be focusing on Wii U games.

I second this to happen. Still loved the first one better but the second one held its own.

Oh I'm not saying it won't happen. I'm just explaining that, contrary to the common belief, it's not owned by Monolith Soft and therefore Nintendo.

God, I love Baten Kaitos. I would love to see another.
Makes me wanna replay them both...
@CanisWolfred your vaguely hostile posts are misdirected.
They're directed at everyone. This is a public forum. You think we're talking in a bubble or something?
That's not even getting into the fact that my posts aren't "hostile", they're passionate. If there's any hostility anywhere, it's aimed at the publishers who are too thick to adapt.
XCX is pretty much what Final Fantasy and even the Tales series should be now. Monolith is amazing and I really hope they start up another JRPG for Wii U after XCX gets released. I would like Monolith to do their own version of Persona.
I wouldn't say that, I like that Final Fantasy and Tales have their own distinct battle systems.
This game would Shine in a mid 2015 release date.
WAT!

The thing is, FF doesn't really have a consistent battle system...and personally I think early 2015 would be better. Partly because I want to play it, and partly because I don't think there's much coming until spring.

Well when I say mid 2015 I mean around may in the same release window that Mario Kart released, especially after how well the three big games did in that slot this year. However I could see your point espically when Nintendo has in recent history has done well with RPGS in a early time slot with Monster Hunter, Bravely Default, and Fire Emblem.
