New Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition Trailer Is Our Best Look Yet At The Upcoming Remaster

I just LOVE the better character customization options. I can't wait to be over-confident and get destroyed by an enemy five levels above me.

@Vyacheslav333 Didn't played the game before, what was/is censored?

Why does the narrator sound like a robot?!

@TomSupreme "One of the character's outfits were made less revealing due to the character Lin being 13 years old."

@TomSupreme
And the "boob slider" for the character customization that everyone is sick to the back teeth of pretending that it was ever a big deal.

March 20th can't get here soon enough!

Less than a month to go. I can't wait!

GRAAAAAHHHHHHHH SOOOOOONNNNNNN!!! I'LL REVISIT THIS WORLD AND DESTORY THE --- ------

@Sabruka @Erigen So nothing too important. Thanks for your answers.

@TomSupreme
Pretty much those two things.

If you plan to play as a male character, the "boob slider" isn't even relevant.

So ready to get lost in this game again.

So from what I saw from the trailer (and the deleted comments), the game is still going to be censored, which is unfortunate but not a deal breaker for me since from my knowledge it's just for costumes.

I just hope it runs well on the switch.

"If you plan to play as a male character..."

This is the only trailer anybody needs...

I don’t think anyone has even mentioned the hundreds of hours involved in grinding the online missions in order to unlock pieces of the “risky” costume sets, even if your aim was not to put Lin in said outfits, it is hardly worth it! Hundreds of hours of grinding the World Bosses for enough tickets to exchange for all the pieces, I am NOT kidding! You can literally do nothing else but looping the same mission over and over hoping you break enough pieces of the World Boss to get those materials to drop for only a handful of tickets, and that’s on top the game time involved until you’re powerful enough to farm the World Bosses effectively. I cannot stress it enough, save yourself the trouble and just enjoy this great game! Just google search if you feel the need to see. And if it’s the slider you’re concerned with, 99% of your game time will be staring at your character’s back, and they will be tiny on the screen when fighting large enemies. And once you’re in a Skell, forget it, you only get to see yourself in Overdrive activations, usually from behind (though the camera does swing around depending what’s going on). Not to take away too much from those who generally disapprove of true censorship, do keep fighting the good fight. But this, this is just too much of a nothing burger for me. Don’t forget, there’s lore reasons that can be said why everyone in New LA looks so…similar.

@masterLEON If it's so minor of a thing, why they have censored that in the first place, huh?

@JohnnyMind there is new "censorship"? All I've seen are manufactured claims using alternate costumes.

@Vyacheslav333 That’s a question for the Treehouse crew from 10 years ago. But I see others here already mentioned the answer…in nearly every Xenoblade X article that has come up, both recently and back then.

@Fiskern There is no “new” censorship, here. This isn’t Skullgirls.

I mean just commit to not buying it if the fact that you can’t ogle a child or make an ill proportioned Barbie doll bothers you that much. No one is gonna tell you how to spend your money. Nintendo is not gonna cry itself to sleep over it though. The Japanese wiiu version is still available second hand.

Anyway I have got it on preorder to match that my other xenoblade games are physical.

I think I might skip this trailer and all other recent info. I'm getting excited for this game but also trying to go in as blind as I can.

This looks amazing. This is the only Xenoblade game I haven’t played yet, so I am very excited to check it out. The world looks gorgeous, and the mechs look like a real unique twist to the Xenoblade formula.

Xenoblade, tick. JRPG, tick. Open world, tick. Transforming mechs, tick. Added story/content, tick. Level 99 beasts that won't think twice about ruining your day, tick. What's not to like?!? 😀

Roll on the 20th.

I'm both super excited and worried about March 20th! Excited because I flipp'n love this game! Worried, because I know I'm not going to finish Trails Through Daybreak II in time for it!

I love this game. Still have the texture pack on the good old WiiU. This is one of the WiiU titles I have been patiently waiting for on Switch. Thinking about trading in XC: DEFINITIVE EDITION towards it because I could never really get into it. This is the XC game I want to play.

@Kraven
My favorite collection of biomes and music hands-down.

My comment was not inappropriate. Clearly you didn't understand what I truly meant. I was following the rules correctly.

And this is what I was talking about. Censoring a harmless comment because you disagree is never a good look for anyone. Reread my comment please, because I don't think you read it all. If I have to delete that last comment on my first paragraph, I will do that, it wasn't an attack on anyone, I should have been more clear on what I meant there.

So I hope you delete this comment, and bring back my original so I can edit it.

@AmplifyMJ @Vyacheslav333 Sometimes for all the complaining about you two having comments removed & all, I'd think you both would think about commenting elsewhere by now.

I shouldn't HAVE TO point this out you know. All you gotta is THINK BEFORE YOU TYPE. But anyways carry on. Maybe think about what you're typing, it can be a great help.

Lin: “How much longer do we have to keep fighting?”

Me seated on the couch in April: “Well, I’m only about 100hrs in, barely earned my skell license, and haven’t done any online play yet, so…” 😅

@DanijoEX-the-Pierrot I will never accept censorship.

@Vyacheslav333 I didn't say anything about censorship...
But sure, yack at me for something I didn't mention about.

Back on TOPIC, I might be able get it the same week that Godzilla vs Biollante on 4K/Blu-ray is coming out on. I already filed taxes so I'll get before that week.

I've wish I played this on WiiU when i had the console but lack of motivation really screwed me over...

Getting the Switch port will something like "redemption" for me. Make of that of what ya'll will.

@DanijoEX-the-Pierrot huh?

I’ve been gaming since the NES days… but somehow this game left a really good and special mark in my gaming memories. It’s that special. Can’t wait to play it again and finally see the end to the story.

I don't know why Xenoblade Chronicles X brings out the worst of the censorship people. It's a slider for one small thing and a few revealing costumes. If that makes you feel that bad, plenty of places you can find that content.

I am super excited about the new content. The ending of the wii u version was lame to me just because of how sequel bait it was. I wanted more but was never given any answers.

@Vyacheslav333
Removing is a minor thing. Keeping said content brings a lot more harm than good by a large margin. So yes, removing those pieces is not a big deal.

@Vyacheslav333
Which is why i never paid their subscription!

@link12684 if it isn't a big deal, leave it in!

Censorship of anything sucks!

Nintendo DIDN'T censor Michaelangelo's David in Animal Crossing, why a costume?

This comment section -
Talking about the game: No
Crying about minor Censorship that only 1% of players will ever care about: Yes

@link12684 Sounds like a lame excuse.
Also, shall I remind that Nintendo (of America and Europe, in most cases) censores other games as well? Fire Emblem series is notorious for having a lof of censorship outside of Japan.
Famicom Detective Club remakes were censored outside of Japan.
Tōkyō Mirage Switch port is based on a censored (localized) Wii U port. Nintendo of Japan even apologized back then for not informing Japanese players about this thing, lol.

@Vyacheslav333 The whining and complaining about less "nudity" sounds like "Oh no, now I have nothing more to gawk at to satisfy my baser urges" for me.

@TomSupreme That is only one view point of many. There are several. For example, there are people who doesn't play the game for this kind of content in a game, but they just hate censorship in general. Then there are people who respects the original creator's vision for a game. And then there is the it's just fiction argument (which is a valid argument, because not everyone gets emotional about certain themes in a game, and if you react bad to it, then it isn't game for you, and imo the normal reaction is to let it be and let it be a thing and ignore it.) Then there are people who are like me, where my fantasy mind will never become a reality. Basically contents in a video game ain't gonna change my personality to become someone awful in society. (Well I do want to explore space, that part I do want to be a reality.)

The redesign is a blessing. The previous character designs actively made me not buy the game on Wii U. Thanks goodness, they changed it.

It looks really great ! And this new content looks phenomenal too, woah, those floating islands seem a good match for flying mech exploration

@IceEarthGuard So many words and nothing to say respectively the same over and over again. One of the protagonists is a underaged girl. What is good or relevant about it to put her into revealing/provocative clothes? Does it make the game better when you can choose how big the breasts are via a slider? The "censorship hate/respecting the creators vision"-argument doesn't count here.

@TomSupreme It's a video game, it's fiction, it's a story, that's the point.

Those arguments that I gave should count.

You guys obviously picture these characters as if they are in this reality as if they are "real," which makes no sense. I view fictional characters as if it's in another dimension with different social norms and different standards to life. That is the point of the fantasy genre.

If slightly censoring the game to align with Western values leads to increased sales and a wider audience, I’m not against it. Xenoblade deserves so much more, and I think many would agree. Plus, if history tells us anything, Monolith Software will eventually do a complete 180 and create something like XB2 again.

On the other hand, if the game does reach a larger audience and secures a bigger budget, it would likely need to be very vanilla, with no rough edges etc, to ensure it’s appropriate for the widest possible audience (e.g., Hollywood blockbusters). That leaves me back at square one. Maybe Xenoblade is better off remaining niche.

If one is disturbed about a boob-slider being removed, one should consider a different hobby.

Pre-ordered my cartridge, and I'm looking forward to playing it.

@Duncanballs just level 99? I want to be one shotted just from the shaking of the ground as they approach!

Hard pass. Didn't like the lack of dedicated healer the last time. Nor the expensive skells which if they get destroyed you have to re buy. I would rather replay 1-3. Still have to finished the De of 1.

@JohnnyMind Censorship obviously isn't great I agree, but I mean, this controversy clearly (?!) is just about boobs, and keep in mind the character's age and such.

The game will be great as ever. Enjoy!

At this point I'm not bothered by the censorship anymore...mainly because I have a launch console, so...you know.
>.>
<.<
lol

@Vyacheslav333
But it is reality. Please those, a few people, who want to look at virtual characters in a certain way and possibly face backlash from many...or prevent any backlash to ensure more sales and piss off a few people? The choice is obvious.

So can we talk about this new content? is this last 30 seconds of the trailer a new biome or do we think its just new missions? I never played the original so I have no idea.

I should add that one of the coolest parts of the original game was how the open world would change as you progressed through the story (mostly NLA, but also other things, like the water treatment plant) so while it would be a much bigger technical hurdle, I think it is possible they might just add the new biome on the existing map after a story milestone is reached. It certainly would reinforce that whole mysterious "came out of nowhere" vibe if it literally did just that.

I really hope this will get a sequel finally. Having two series in the Xenoblade line would be great. A chance to work on the familiar but different stories. Then get back to Xenoblade Chronicles again next if they want.

The only censorship related to Monolith that you guys should be screaming about is the one about not releasing Disaster: Day of Crisis in America. Such a great Wii gem that I’d love a remaster for that one.

I've been wanting this since 2017; so excited and can't wait for 3.20!
