Xenoblade Chronicles X is only a couple of months away in Japan, so the official website is regularly posting new information, screens and videos for fans to enjoy. The latest influx of content is certainly worth a look, as it covers character customisation, shows off New Los Angeles, and includes high-res images of the various Fields that will make up the bulk of the experience.
There are loads of assets to look at - thanks, to L~A on NeoGaf - which we've brought together below.
Field Screenshots
New Los Angeles Screenshots + Cat companion + Video
'BLADE' Quests + Related videos
Character Customisation Screens + Video
Plenty to take in there, and we're particularly keen to try the 'clown' face on our avatar - let us know what you think in the comments below.

Not quite sure why they zoomed in on everyones crotch and chest areas... 0_o
Day one buy!!!!!
Is it just me or have the character models improved drastically?
Reminds me of Spira, and that's a good thing.
Been trying not get overly excited for this, long wait ahead, but it's getting harder and harder. Though maybe that's just the crotch shots talking
Beautiful. l never had any interest playing the original game, but this one I just can't help but look forward to.
I'm so freakin' pumped for this and Xenoblade Chronicles 3D. My dreams are realized with both these games.
@BieberBlows No. People just blew how bad they thought they were out of proportion.
Uh-oh. if the character customization really is that broad, it might take me full days to get past it. It took me about 3 hours just to create my hunter in MH3U, and almost 16 hours in Dragon's Dogma...
Change breast size? huh, well then this game looks awsome
The guys are going to make their avatar the female with the biggest breast size, while the men are going to make their avatar wear the killer ninja clown mask.
My most wanted game EVER. EVER I TELL YOU!
Character building like a WRPG--excellent.
You know what would be really cool, though?
A RELEASE DATE.
@odin6786 I was wondering that. But, you know, Japan is weird.
Lol at some of those customisation options.
I wonder if that is all character or do the outfits change depending on the armor like XC. Maybe the clown face is a rare helm.
Hyyyype!
Character creation seems to be at least as good as the better MMORPGs these days. At least PSO2 level.
[robot voice] Hype overload! Hype overload!172730-!gdbalbe
Those field screens...are they screenshots or concept art?! They look too perfect, too beautiful. I can't wait.
I hate waiting for this game. When I do get my hands on it though, Other than LoZ, no other games will be spinning in my Wii U.
My Wii U library far exceeds the number of games I have for my PS4 which is odd as most people would see that but the Wii U is rapidly becoming my most favorite game console of all time. Especially with games like this.
Waiting is just the hardest part.
This is the most exciting game I look forward to this year.
i want this game soooo bad!
Seriously, so hyped for this game. An original, exclusive adventure game, and it looks BIG!
Woooooow!! This is going to be so good! But that boob size customisation xD a whole slider just for boobs, oh Japan...
These screenshots prove the Wii U is still capable of doing so much more. What a great looking game.
I honestly don't understand why people think this has a different art style than XC. I think if you were to make the Bionis' Leg HD, it would look exactly like the Primordial Wilderness. And there's just as much color in a lot of these environments as XC.
I'm happy to see some customization options on the characters. I hate those giant anime eyes. They didn't look as bad in Xenoblade Chronicles, probably because everything was such a lower resolution.
I'm sorry, but that video with the quests looks very, very generic MMO-ish Oo Something I already very much disliked in Xenoblade ... I reall hope they can do way better than the infamous "find and kill 10 rats" quests. That's the stuff of nightmares, that's not content that's occupational therapy after all. MMOs need to move beyond this, and some indeed already have, but RPGs should have been beyond this for some time now :-/
I really hope this is doesn't end up some fancy offline MMO.
@Ralek85 Amen to that!!!
I have the feeling this game is gonna dissapoint. But my feeling has it most of the time wrong
Xenoblade was nothing like MMO:s... it was more like a Final Fantasy game (comparing with the good ones from psone days) with an open world and meaningful exploration. On the other hand, i mostly skipped the optional sidequests and concentrated on the main story. After playing through the original, i have no reason to believe this would disappoint.
The character customization looks great, I can see myself wasting a lot of time on that.
@BieberBlows I still think the characters is the weakest in the game so far, don't like it at all, and least the playable character and then white haired girl you have with you look really bad. Guess its a small thing to pay for with such an expansive world.
Day 1 buy for me as well. I think this will be the best RPG of this gen. I wonder what the Shulk amiibo will add. Hopefully you can play as Shulk.... or even just to get the Monado blade would be sweet.
I will be exploring every nook and cranny of this beautiful world and if it takes me months to do,so be it!
The character customization seems very behind the times.. That's if this is the extent of what they have to offer. 15 male and 15 female facial skins, with the ability to adjust height and bust size? Sorry to nit pick on the negatives, the rest of the screens looked amazing! Well minus those odd chest and crotch zooms.. What are they doing??
This and MH4U are going to be all I need this year!
And the game looks better than before, odd shots aside.
@White-Wash More info on the official Monolith Soft site:
http://xenobladex.jp/character/avatar.html
"Avatar gender, face type, body size (bust size for women), skin (skin color, freckles, cheeks, scars, moles), hairstyle and hair color, shapes and colors of pupils, makeup (eye shadow color, lip color, face paint), voice; you can freely combine the various features."
Good god, this game just keeps looking better and better. I'm looking forward to spending some series time with this one.
I truly like the Navi-Ball in Xenoblade Chronicles X. The best part is that you won't be hearing that annoying "Hey... listen!" in this title.
When Xenogear meets xenoblade chronicles, this looks to be the outcome.
You guys should look at Gessenkou's (from GameFAQs' XenobladeX boards) translations (and he even teamed up with iYakku on Youtube to sub all the Japanese videos, including the 24 minute one, and all the smaller videos posted above). They're doing awesome stuff and analyzing all the videos and screens + information we have. NeoGAF pales in comparison to the GameFAQs analysis so far (mostly b/c of Gessenkou).
TEASE!!!!!!!!
GIve us the game already!!!!!
