Topic: Xenoblade Chronicles 2

It sounds like he's saying (in the gameinformer article) that they partially went back to numbers because it'd be a mess otherwise. So I'm guessing it'll just be XC3 next. Assuming the series continues.
It can't have been THAT profitable so far.

I am pretty sure if they do another Xenoblade it will be XC3... but I actually hope he makes a new Xeno game.. something different even though Im more anxious for XC2 than any game in my life... because honestly after Xenosaga, Xenoblade just lets me down.

I'd rather have XCX2, but for now I'm fine with just XC2. ^^

@Snaplocket

If the VGChartz numbers are right, the first 2 games performed almost identically in all 3 main regions.

Neither did particularly well in Japan.

I hope we get XCX2, I need the resolution to the cliffhanger.

@Luna_110

The resolution was 720p.

@Dezzy
Um... I meant the conclution, not the game's resolution.

@Luna_110

I know. I'm extremely mischievous.

@Dezzy Nevertheless, it was a good joke. Is a port of XCX for Switch in 1080p possible?

VGChartz are always a big IF, let's be honest.

So, based on the previews I've read/watched, this sounds like the game the original Xenoblade Chronicles should have been in the first place. Side quests apparently give you more information to go on and help to develop the towns and locales you complete them in. The streamlined UI is easy on the eyes and eliminates the annoying issues that cropped up in battles and dialogue sections in the previous game. And the new combat system sounds incredibly deep. Also, the characters are pleasingly stylized instead of ugly and Western-looking.

I'm really looking forward to playing this.

@Ralizah But Spoilers

@YummyHappyPills What?

@Ralizah Why does Nintendo feel the need to continually overexpose their games, to quote you lot.

Dude, this music.

So. Good.

@YummyHappyPills I mean, this is different to me than giant 20 minute infodumps about the world, characters, etc. we were getting in Nintendo Directs.

Then again, if I'm not mistaken, Nintendo revealed one of XCX's bigger plot twists in a trailer, so maybe mere worldbuilding info and random character introductions are a step forward.

@EvilLucario Yeah, I'm really happy with what I've heard of the OST so far. In the same vein as the first game, but higher quality.

This guy has a ton of leaked music on his channel.

That's funny. I didn't see that trailer at the time but randomly watched it earlier today because I was going back and comparing old Xenoblade trailers.
I assume you're talking about the one with Elma. That was a really awful decision. Glad it wasn't spoiled for me.
The 2 main twists in the last chapter are awesome in that game. Not the final cliffhanger. That's dumb. But the earlier twists in the lifehold.

@Dezzy Yeah. I skipped that section of the trailer, but I'm aware there's apparently a MASSIVE spoiler regarding Elma at the end based on the comments, which seems a bit... counterproductive on Nintendo's part.

@Tsurii I'm about halfway through the story. I contemplated leaving XC2 until I finished X, but, honestly... I need this game in my life. Everything I've seen has looked really good.

@Ralizah

You really should finish X first. The ending is incredibly good. Far better than the silly metaphysics nonsense at the end of XC1.
