Topic: Xenoblade Chronicles X - OT

Hmm...
I'm quite sure I have seen it used in GameStop here in Finlandm tough I can't remember when was it. Thankfully I got mine preoreded back in the day, so it shall forever stay in my game closet. Also, it has localized box and manual. That one could be a rare thing in 10-15 years.

Okay so here's my question... how will the gamer's avatar have Heart To Heart Moments (an awesome element from Xenoblade Chronicles) when he/she TECHNICALLY doesn't have a set personality?!

Cuz I'm pretty sure a Heart to Heart moment will be ready the second you first meet Elma and the girl with the Monado in her hair.

I'm going to take a wild guess and say we will determine the heart to hearts by selections. It will make everyone's play through different in this aspect.

I also hope a guide book is ready as soon as this game releases.

...and an art book (in English), and a Soundtrack. Just imported the Xenoblade Chronicles soundtrack and totally tempted to get the book too though I wont be able to read a lick of it. Pretty nerdy, I know.

How can we even be sure heart-to-hearts will make a return?
And even if they do, they might not be in the same form. I'd think since the character doesn't have much of a personality, maybe they'd focus more on the character you're "heart-to-hearting" with. If you need an example, think social links from Persona 3 and 4.
I'd be absolutely fine with that.

That is my biggest concern of this game, is that the amazing moments of the game won't work if the main character doesn't talk. I hope the heart to hearts make a return. It might be that the character we play does have a voice, just in what we saw, he never really said much.

I luv that we get to create our own avatar cuz thats just so awesome. I just want out avatar in the game to be emotionally expressive in cutscenes and stuff. I want him/her to say stuff. I don't want him/her to only say stuff like "Yeah" when you are buying from a shop or levelling up.

I agree with that. I definitely believe that they could still create an intruiging story with good characters despite a "blank" main character, since many other games have done it as well.
But it would be nice if the main character actually spoke, or at least showed emotion. I don't want none of that "this character is you, so they don't ever express themselves" crap.

EXACTLY. Hopefully the avatar talks like how Mass Effect does it. You can still choose what they say BUT they do have dialogue.

I second this idea, especially if it's done anywhere near as well as Mass Effect.

But I got a feeling that the main character won't be speaking dialogue like in Mass Effect. He/She will only say stuff for moves and small stuff like, "Yeah, I want this" when buying stuff. Its just so much easier to do it that way.

Hopefully the development team doesn't get lazy about that.

I dunno, good dubs for Japanese games are hard to come by under normal circumstances. The sheer amount of dialogue that would need to be recorded to achieve a Mass Effect, er, effect would probably turn off whomever is doing it. NoA didn't even care enough to record dialogue at all for XC.

I hope they get cockney bad guys again.

Honestly, I really loved the voice actors in Xenoblade. As long as they can do an equally good job with this one, I'll be more than happy.

Okay so I was paying close attention to the TreeHouse demo of XCX and the situation of how your avatar talks is still unclear. Elma asks your character questions and sometimes your avatar just shakes their head. But sometimes there's a moment for your avatar to SPEAK but the dang demo players skipped everytime where the avatar had the CHANCE to speak.
That bothers me. Elma was asking the avatar a question and it was very clear that the avatar was supposed to SAY something but the demo player skipped the scene. So I'm wondering.... Is it just dialogue boxes or will your character actually say ANYTHING?!

The character wasn't even grunting in fights!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The avatar wasn't saying a dang word! Elma was talking as she fought!

I'm getting kinda worried by this. XCX is my most anticipated game of all time.

Should I pick the original Xenoblade? I always wanted to but I had no idea if I would like it would any of you recommend it?

Xenoblade is a epic JRPG that puts recent Final Fantasy games to shame. The Tales series could also learn a lesson or two from Xenoblade.

Get the game and prepare to be amazed.

@torotoid64 Do it dude it's great but i will warn you that game is hard to find now.And if you do the game will be over priced like crazy.

Would it be awesome is this game came out with Xenoblade chronicles in a set,just like bayonetta 2 will have.I would love that two amazing games in one damn.
