I'm very glad this game is getting another chance on Switch, but it makes little sense to port this massive game to the original Switch this late in its lifespan. However, my theory is it'll be a cross-gen release for Switch 2 to help showcase how much more powerful that system is. At least, I hope it is, because this game is going to run like molasses on the OG Switch.
When I had a Wii U, this game was my jam. That, and splatoon. I wonder how the convenient map integration on the gamepad is going to work out in the definitive version. I imagine it's going to be like other games where a button press brings up the map.

@Joeynator3000 My friend. This is the same company that used the western version of Tokyo Mirage Sessions, that got the Japanese angry without telling for awhile that had to give refunds because of the backlash. I'd be surprised if the boob slider was there
I'm probably not going to get this. Really couldn't bring myself to get into X on the Wii U, and it actually pushed me away from the series until 2 got revealed. I just hope that the next game they're working on isn't a sequel to X, and instead ends up being Xenoblade 4. Would be disappointing if they just made an X-2 when the original forsakes everything I enjoyed about the series.
It gets rid of the fantasy element of the series, only being a pure sci-fi game. It focuses on side quests instead of actually having a good character-driven main story. The character writing is pretty flat, and the main protagonist is a silent custom protagonist. The only redeeming quality is the open world, and even that feels like it wouldn't save the game. Even with the added story content, I don't think it's going to finish the game's narrative outright.

Well, didn't expect this to happen. I was dead certain this would've been a quick way to get a huge open world game on Switch 2 for an easy W.
I'm glad its finally out of Wii U purgatory. While it didn't quite live up to my incredibly high expectations, I've never played another JRPG quite like it and that alone makes it worth giving another shot. For Nintendo, not for me, I'm already behind on 2 xenoblade releases, that's already too much.
I'm very happy this is FINALLY making the Switch, though I won't be picking it up anytime soon. I do hope the end of the trailer is hinting at a better...shall I say, resolution to the original game's plot.
I quite like XCX even if it is a departure from the main Xenoblade series. Story isn't its string suit, but I really like exploring the world and how deep the side quests were willing to get in the original game; these were not topped until XC3 IMO. And I cannot understate how fun Skell combat is once everything clicks.
As someone who predicted that this would be Monolith's next project back when XC3 came out, I don't think you needed any inside information to work it out.
Anyway, I'm glad to see that they reworked the facial models because that was the one thing that didn't quite come off, visually. I suppose there was something of a story reason for it, but the new versions should be a bit easier on the eye.
@RR529 Yeah, it's annoying, still gonna give the game a second chance since I did enjoy it for a while...but I still hate that they're using the censored version, it's stupid. -.-

Keep it PG-13-ish.
Yeah, all that said, the Xenoblade franchise is probably my favorite of the "modern" Nintendo IP and I'm really looking to playing this one since I missed out on owning a Wii U.
Switch 2 can wait until next Christmas season for all I care as this will easily last me through summer, lol.
