New Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Screens Show Off Dromarch, Who You Can Ride Through the World

Hyped.

So much hyped...

Already got it preordered. Can’t wait for this game. Getting the family a Switch for Christmas but buying it in November.

The wait is tough
If only we had a new Mario game to play in 11 DAYS!!!

Cue letter from PETA in 3,2,1....

I was so hyped to pick this up, until I saw that the western release Will not include the original Japanese audio ...

It's been long enough since BotW, that I'm ready for another big, meaty RPG.

I still wonder what it looks like for the Giant Mecha that we will ride ?
We had AGWS, ES from Xenosaga.

Does anybody know if this has any connection tot part 1? I'm interested in this game but I don't want to play the first one before this one releases.

@G0dlike That's 950400 seconds. The world might end by the time it gets released.

okay this game has my attention

Xenoblade... that I can play on both the TV and on the go... On top of all the other outstanding games coming the Switch one after another... Zelda, Mario Kart, Splatoon, Disgaea, Golf Story, Stardew Valley, Wargroove, Mario Odyssey, Xenoblade... And next year we are getting Fire Emblem, Pokemon, Metroid, Kirby, and who knows what else is yet to be confirmed! I need to quit my job to keep up, but I need my job to buy the games! XD

I feel like I am in a golden age of gaming... at least until I look at what most other companies are doing. lol

I cant wait for this game - I'll be at the middle of my buying list. Mario, Wolfenstein2, Xenoblade2, Ninokuni2, Monster hunter world.

Good times ahead!

@Hikingguy When we are kids we had very limited selection of games because it was basically our parents buying them. But at least for me, as a full time employed adult, I choose to live in a small apartment and not spend hundreds of dollars a night bar hopping on the weekends. Instead, I can just buy whichever game I want and it's actually still cheaper than bar hopping most people expect my age group to be doing. lol And when it's my money, and I am steadily employed, I don't feel nearly as bad if I waste money on a game I end up not thrilled by. Where, even just a few years ago in college, if I spent 50-60 bucks on a game and didn't end up liking it, well, I am stuck with it for a few months because I couldn't afford anything else.

Can someone tell me what this game is about? Haven't played a Xenoblade game before, but it looks interesting. Don't know if I should pick up as of yet.

I will bring it to my work! And play it there.

Hyperbolic hypeness on the scene. I am suffering from hype overload.

This has been a really great year for gaming.

I probably won't be able to get this by December so I'll wait til January.

Not sure the game holds any interest for me. The gameplay SEEMS (not saying it "is") button mashy action fighting with slow RPG elements, making for a flow I won't enjoy. Plus the recent Nintendo Direct section on it was a total bore and killed any interest I've had, or a chance for them to convince me on gameplay...BUT man, all the Blade designs are really really making me consider my opinion on this, and I'm starting to itch for a pre-order. Been continuously surprised by how cool they look (much better than how the main characters and stuff look).

@G0dlike The last few weeks have been painful - so much easier to wait, when the wait is actually longer.

@Hikingguy for me its the awful (imo) character design. Gamellay and world design look great but the characters dont catch my eye at all

Xenoblade Chronicles is one of my desert island games! I loved the combat, the exploration, the escalating storyline. For me, this is Nintendo's third potential game of the year in the same bloomin' year.

I'm sure this game is going to be really good, but from every screenshot I've seen it just looks like it needs more time in the oven. Some of the texture work just looks really bland. I have a feeling they were in a hurry to rush this out in the first year, and I think we have enough this holiday to justify them pushing this back to make it look a little better.

I’m hype

This is the kind of game I want and yet fear to ever own at the same time.
It looks wonderful and super fun to play, but also looks like it would last so long I may never see the end of it (as it actually happened with the first title afterall XD).

CE pre-ordered and paid!

Can you customize the avatars and clothes? I didn’t like the character’s looks or outfits in the trailer. Almost don’t even want the game if that’s what they look like.

@Tsurii Alright, thanks! I think i'm going to give it a try:)

Can’t wait for this!
