Xenoblade Chronicles X

In light of how fucking amazing the most recent stream was, this needs a thread. I was already excited enough for this game to want to buy an entire console just for it, but after yesterday I'm feeling kind of like Cartman in that Wii release episode, I must have this now. The stream showed that mechs aren't just going to have a minor role as transportation, there will be entire segments of the game based on them, fights exclusive to them, and an incredibly in depth weapons system for each part of the mech, which are all fully destructible in combat. When they got to the super weapons I lost my pomegranate, they showed a whip made of bombs and a gatling laser railgun. Arms have basic weapons, shoulders and back have stronger weapons, and the super weapon unlocks later, then there's multiple overclock drives you get too that doesn't last long but makes your mech super saiyan.

Also, GUILDS AND ONLINE RAID BOSSES.

Video stream starts at around 30 minutes.

The immense amount of hype for this game cannot be contained. After I finally got around to doing a playthrough of Xenoblade Chronicles, this game is going to be INSANE!

I don't like the world as much as XBC's, but then, I don't like any world as much as XBC's. It's not just massive, it's interesting and colorful in a way no other game's world is. Even after 7 playthroughs I never get bored of exploring it. XBCX seems to be a bit more dull and dreary colorwise, at least from what I've seen so far; nothing approaching Satorl Marsh or Mt. Valak or Eryth Sea. I'm hoping there will be some zones more like those. XBCX is supposed to be 5x bigger somehow, so maybe they have only shown some lower level zones and none of the really neat ones; the image you just posted is only 1 of the 5 continents, and not even the largest one.

Looks cool, though I get more Phantasy Star vibes than I get Xeno ones...

Can't tell if that is good or bad yet.

Haven't really kept up with it, but it's limited to the New 3DS correct?

No. Xenoblade Chronicles X is a sequel to Xenoblade Chronicles. It is coming out on the Wii U.

Is it? I wasn't sure if it was in the same series, unless XBXC is

 Spoiler

in the original timeline of XBC, before the scientists created the simulation of the Mechonis/Bionis world and became the gods of said world in order to escape from the post-apocalyptic real world. The Bionis and Mechonis were the only things that exist in that entire universe, nothing else was created in the simulation

. It's likely that chronologically, XBCX occurs BEFORE XBC, if it is in the same storyline, and

 Spoiler

depending on how time-space functions in a simulated universe, it could either be just before XBC since they started the simulation soon after civilization was wiped out, in their satellite research station orbiting the planet (assuming time does not pass at all since it's not real), or time could flow the same/faster, in which case it would be long before

.

I read Xenoblade "Cross" has no relation to Chronicles at all. The only thing you'll get is references and that's it.

New trailer, JP release is only a week away.

SOON

Color me impressed.

Best thing about the direct: Xenoblade Chronicles X releases in the west "later this year"...
/sarcasm

The direct was pretty cool otherwise. Really liked some of the features they went more in detail to.

Commentators were pretty annoying but that's about standard. Looks like mechs are definitely going to be a large part of the game and not just a tacked-on system.
