@JaxonH That is a matter of perception. I have red interviews and have done my research on it. The new art-style, the art designer behind the characters, a more linear focus, the premise, it all indicates that we may very well see a typical "Shonen" story here. Will that be better than XC1 or XCX? That's but a matter of opinion.

@UmniKnight
I don't care what "kind" of story it is. All I know is every Xenoblade has had a fantastic story.

And given the director said he wanted to put more of a focus on story, I have no doubt this will be amazing. When is it ever not...

@JaxonH Believe what you will, and I shall do the same. Only hands-on experience, and people's own experience of that, will bring clarity to a matter like this.

Whether or not it will universally be more or less accepted, more or less beloved than those before it remains to be seen. That small peak they've given us, has already given me a good idea of what to expect, and I expect this to be unable to match XC1.

Couldn't care less if it's better or worse than the last 2. All I know is it will be great.

@DarthNocturnal The terrible sidequests and lack of anything interesting to find or do in the open world was a big part of why I wasn't gaga about XC. Also, the extensive open world navigation slowed down the game unnecessarily, in my opinion.

Currently Playing: ?

Exactly. In XCX, I rarely went out of my way for sidequests. I'd just accept everything and come back from a story mission and see that I cleared 3, 4 sidequests without even trying. Played the whole game this way.

There was the odd exception but, by and large I never did anything I didn't want to do. Most of my time was spent unlocking skells and upgrading. That's where the monster hunting came in to play- and that I did look up (no thanks to the official guide- that thing was worthless, SOOOO much missing info it was a total facepalm from cover to cover)

Seen lots of ads for the Switch on UK TV, espcially on the 'youth' channels such as E4 (which is aimed at 18-34 year olds)

@BeanoMaster That makes a lot of sense, I have seen them during Family Guy on ITV2 so I assume they advertise a fair amount on there as well. Though I have also seen them on ITV3 which is definitely aimed at the older generation, unless the likes of Midsomer Murders is now hip with the younger audience.

Reggie talks about Switch supply and production issues as well as SNES Classic Mini and NES Classic Mini.
Urges customers not to overbid on auction sites for the SNES Classic Mini. How's about you produce enough? And then it won't happen.

Well, so far, no news of a direct in 2 days.

@UmniKnight I was pretty surprised when I heard the Direct would be this week. It seemed too soon after the Nindies Direct. But if Nintendo are doing one this week, it will probably be Nintendo of America than announce it so there's still plenty of time in the day.

@FragRed We'll see. If it isn't the case, that's just another dent in the credit of whoever started this rumour.
