Who Mastema here?
>>12451492
Its either Formula or Lailah for me. But honestly all of them really hits all the right buttons for me.
Ohhhh
I want to recruit that cat lady.

So /m/. Which union are you joining?
>>12452116
Why don't they post higher resolution of this concept art? I don't want to rely on bad scans out of the artbook.
>>12453062
Eventually all of them. I can't imagine the game wouldn't have NG+ when XB had it.
>>12453169
>Please, buy the artbook. Thank you.
>>12453062
I thought you can join and left the Union whatever you want and rejoining back whatever you want.
>>12453177
Reminder Baten Kaitos Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean did not have a NG+. We have no word on a NG+ for XCX.
>>12453242
Yes, but which one are you joining first?
Testament sounds cool as fuck, salvaging pieces of the main ship. We'll probably also find other human ships.
>>12453324
>Yes, but which one are you joining first?
Depending on the quest which is interesting to do first
>>12451276
>>12452396
Living under a rock here. Just how much did I miss?
>>12455893
>>12453062
Avalanche. Fuck yeah, Neon Unicorn.
>>12451276
>dem cockpits
Remind me so much from the ones in Zeta onwards.
>>12453062
Path Finder.
No other option.
My RPG OCD demand I explore every nook and cranny.
>>12453062
Testament, so I can dig my god out of the White Whale's wreckage.
>>12451276
Did they hire windfall?
so is this just an mmo or what
New art.
>>12458202
already posted here
>>12452116
Also Elma obviously needs to get gud. She dies so much in the directs and now she's getting knocked out of her doll in concept art.
>>12458215
>tfw this is foreshadowing and Elma is a series of robot girls with horrible battle luck
>>12458247
> tfw they're actually trying to get us use to the idea that Elma dies so when she actually does dies it doesn't hit as hard.
Bad guys getting fan art already?

So, which doll do you like the most?
I'd personally go with Formula or Inferno.
>>12462987
Lailah or bust.
>>12462987
Urban, Lailah, or Mastema.
>close to release in Japan
>still no official release date for NA or Europe
>rumor says August
>fucking August
This is cruel, Nintendo.
>>12463448
It is pretty terrible.
>Birthday is in late summer
>Game may come out around then
>>12453324
Considering the game is about choices having an impact on the storyline, I woud think it would have NG+ so that you can use your starting character with all the choices.
>>12463448
Man, I'm gonna be busy with Yakuza 5 in August. Why does Nintendo gotta do this to me.
>>12453324
Didn't they say in an article that the ability to wear costumes over armor was unlocked on the start of a NG+?
>>12463507
>>12463448
Wasn't the source for that rumor 4 chan though? I'm certain Nintendo hasn't said anything besides a vague 2015 for this game.
Though August is a good guess because I expect the release date to be announced at e3 so July is the earliest it can come out, with fall being more likely.
>>12463448
We should hear some in E3
>>12462140
That's an old one.
>>12464022
Besides jaggies, it surprisngly doesn't look that bad. Reviews say the framerate is consistent as well.
Damn I need this game.
>>12466271
The fact that the framerate keeps up is quite an achievement in itself. The only catch is that the Bionis Left Shoulder map may be too much for the 3DS so no wonder why it was left out in this game. Not to mention that it would have required an investment in new enemies, voice actors and the like which all help to keep it out of reach.
>>12466422
We all do.
>>12466547
They cut a section out of the 3ds version?
>>12466584
No, the wii version. Some people wanted it in for the 3DS.
It was shown in the ending movie, about the origin of Bionis.
>>12466677
>>12466682
Those areas don't look like they would give the 3DS too much of a problem. It's the town and the open field where I think the problems could come.
>>12467139
The Bionis Left shoulder was never part of the game because it was built by monolith as a test area. There's basically nothing in it, no npc, no monsters, etc. It might have been added if they had another 3-4 months to work on it and been place between Eryth and Valak, but there was no way it was going to be added into the port.
>>12466677
>>12467203
So essentially the are isn't actually explorable in the game, but existed in the Wii code?
>>12467324
Yes. It was totally empty though. And there were some parts that were a few bits of the scenery that were untextured
>>12467339
Ah, okay. Cool.
I just got the 3ds version. I'm hardly anywhere in it yet. I was under the impression that the only difference were textures.
>>12467324
>>12467369
See it for yourself.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l86GCaqZuxY
>>12467203
>It might have been added if they had another 3-4 months to work on it and been place between Eryth and Valak
And it would have make a much more natural progression as a mid point between the jungle and the sea. I picture it, had it made it into the game, as an area that you quickly pass at first(because you are in a hurry to bring Melia back to Alcamoth)but then becomes a source of very high-level quests to uncover the mystery of the Giant race. Not to mention that the area could have been the place for another Super-Boss.
I've been waiting for this game for so long, why does it feel like this final stretch is the longest?
So what is the story with the cat aliens?
>>12468077
Unknown, at first I thought they were a primitive native species along with the Nopons, due to how some of them are dressed.
Then I saw the energy blade glaive
They're likely migrants like the humans and the goat people as well.
>>12468077
Dunno. But I want one on my party.
>>12467369
>>12467339
>>12467324
>>12467203
Nah, I'm pretty sure it was meant to be in the game. The water spout travelling to Eryth seemed a bit tacked on compared to using an actual area to get to the sea.
Plus, there is a whole town to explore in the removed area as well.
>>12469368
>schoolgirl outfits
Damn it Japan. Now im getting more ideas.
>>12462987
Formula and Wels. But all of them are alright.
>>12469573
I'm getting a Macross/Megazone 23 vibe from this
https://youtu.be/kQ39fImCKz8
Has this been posted yet?
>>12470749
Yes. During livestream a week ago.
The short story is translated. Lyn decides to enter a doll tournament to gain meat.
https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1BiXmC3fsjmMQnnFrxfOyTvjEmS9WsU8fjy0sAOSiPqw/pub#id.vnyv13vma96
I miss Xenogears designs. Ah well some of these are cool I guess.
>>12451276
7700 yen? Is that normal for games in Japan?
>>12472889
Have hope anon! You may get to pilot an old friend as the best doll.
>>12472523
Is so nice that they are translating these
>>12472889
The Xenogear designs are more likely to appear, one way or another, in this game. It's the Mechon Faces designs that are more unlikely to do so.
>>12472523
That better be a side quest in the game!
So is there going to be a supernatural element in this game like Gods and Demons?
>>12476162
If there isn't a demiurge analogue I'll eat my socks.
>>12476162
How are we supposed to know that, considering we've barely gotten info on it and it hasn't released?
From the directs, it looks pretty sci-fi.
>>12476333
It's not a proper RPG is you don't kill God at some point in it.
>>12476356
Be cool is each colony ship escaping Earth was carrying with it it's own "god" and after the crash one of the missions is to find the pieces of "god" scattered over the area or something like that..
https://youtu.be/DoxVKzjZjso
>>12476995
That sounds cheesy as fuck.
>>12475453
>>12473525
For good or ill, Junya Ishigaki always did some amazing designs. At least as many as he does terrible ones.
>Formula, Light-class, speed focused
>Urban, Light-class, Excellent vehicle control
>Wels, Light-class, power of a Medium-class
>Lailah, Medium-class, Light-class mobility
>Inferno, Medium-class, well balanced
>Mastema, Heavy-class, Long range specialization
>Amdusias, Heavy-class, Melee specialization
What do you choose /m/?
>>12479168
Mastema
I plan to make my character like Dunban so I get the opposite for his doll for shits and giggles.
>>12479168
Mastema, Urban, or Wels.
>>12479168
Mastema. Gonna customize it to look like Chamber.
>>12479383
Sorry, meant Amdusias.
...Instead of Mastema. And replace Urban with Lailah.
But Inferno, Mastema, and Urban still look pleasing regardless. Luckily we can buy all of them.
>>12479168
Formula or Inferno. Maybe Mastema as well.
>>12479168
Wels for style
Formula for gotta go fast, really only if its actually significantly faster than everything else.
>>12479168
Lailah and Mastema. It's gonna be a fun ride!
Only 8 days til JP release.
Anyone else think the Wels has rabbit ears? It's easier to see in other screenshots than this one.
So are the Mechs all going to be super customizeable?
>>12482193
Seems to be fairly high quality color customization, anf you have 10 or 12 different weapons to equip.
I don't know if parts of equipment can be added.
>>12482193
I don't have the picture on me, but people noticed on the stream a head part that looked different from the revealed mechs, hinting at possible swappable body parts.
>>12482198
>>I don't know if parts of equipment can be added.
I can see internal parts begin replaceable even if they don't change the exterior of the frame.
>>12482365
Was it me or did they mention the possibility of 'skins' begin implemented in the future?
>>12482198
Actual equipment parts that aren't weapons are customizable, you should look at the armor slots below the 10 weapon selection menu.
Why aren't there more games like this?
>>12482701
You mean exploration with mechs, or monster hunter with mechs.

Nope not yet unfortunately.

>>12485404
thousand ladybugs is probably a collectible, so you need six collectibles called thousand ladybug.
Xenoblade has some really weird collectible names.

Quick, somebody post that interview about having started localization about halfway through production.
I have to convince myself we'll get it this year.
>>12485607
>I have to convince myself we'll get it this year.
Hellow I'm Reggie Satoru Fils-Aime Iwata, I promised this game will be release in Autumn, 2015. Please understand.
God damn it. I'm going to have to buy a Wii U, aren't I?
>>12486890
What's wrong with that? I don't even have one, but I know I'll be buying more games for it besides this. Same with the other 8th gen consoles (waiting for FFXV).
>>12486900
Third world and taxes. Still probably going to buy one.
>>12479168
The O.
>>12479168
Wels only for the bunny ears.
That other one at the bottom kinda looks like The O so I'm anxious to get it.
>>12483818
That's to be expected. I wonder if they are going to add more to it via DLC or something like that down the line.
>>12486860
>>12486879
>>12486883
>>12486900
>>12486906
Again. I can't shake the idea that there are more areas out there. They could be there already or added later through a DLC.
They said they wanted to make the game bigger and longer than the original Xenoblade, far bigger world, for more to do, etc.
>>12487167
>I can't shake the idea that there are more areas out there.
Each region has a lot hidden areas to discovered.
>>12485428
>every strange item is some borderline Roadside Picnic artifact named by Shulk 'n pals

>>Filename.
Oh boy...
>>12485449STANDING
>>12485287
That they are
>>12487167
There is a lot of indoors and underground for each area.
Also the Dengeki things talks about something beyond the borders of the map. Then you have the "star system navigation map" to boot.

>>12489854
I wanted this before. I mean, I really WANT it. But this music makes me feel like I NEED it.
Like, I don't know if I can even make it until launch, because not having this in my life is killing me.

>>12489878
Once Nintendo announces it's NA release is the day I'll put money aside for a potential WiiU bundle. There are other games I want for the WiiU, but this is the game I want from the system. It's like they made my dream game (aside from the combat, not that I dislike it).
>>12489900
Yeah, back about a year ago, when I got an actual job, I but money aside for a Wii U for Smash Bros, and a few other games which had been announced at the time (Hyrule Warriors, Splatoon, and Devil's Third) but mainly for Xenoblade X. This was right after they showcased it and threw out the japanese trailer. Now we're even closer to an actual release date, but I'm still extremely curious as to when.
But yeah, it looks like a lot of /m/'s dream game. Can't wait.
>everything so far
Goddamnit Nintendo, just give me the game. I can't deal with waiting an indeterminate amount of time.
>>12489924
Back at E3 2014, the game was announced, but Localization hadn't begun yet.
As of January 19, 2015, they released a tweet that said "Localization is making good progress", and it's still slotted for 2015, so there's an awesome chance we'll get it in November, which would also be the ideal time, as Nintendo needs to cover up for Zelda U's delay.
>>12489955
If the WiiU was region free I'd be tempted to import it just so I can play it in less than a week.
Oh well. At least Maximillian from the FGC said his friend is going to stream his copy, so I'll get to see the game.
>>12489912
We Cloverfield now?
>>12489955
I don't think it'll get the November slot, to be honest. I don't think they have that kind of faith in the series yet to give it the holiday slot, which is good, since that means we'll probably get it a little earlier.
>>12488258
>>Also the Dengeki things talks about something beyond the borders of the map.
I knew that it was odd for them to show 'all' the areas in the videos. There has to be more maps out there.
>>12489412

>>12489526

Probably the new Elements.
>>12491763
Or it's just choco drawing cute girls doing cute things again.
Should I get a Wii U for this? I haven't played any Xeno games before, but the combined aspects of mecha, Sawano, freeroam, and character customization make it hard to pass up.
>>12491779
Make your own judgement from the information we already have. This is the compilation doc from Gessenkou and iYakku.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vmQ7tYhSygyO1V8STQ_N9pWGEppVJUvvHz4bCAk-hSg/pub
Frankly it is never a good idea to buy any console for one game. The smart thing to do is to wait until a console has a library of games you want to play on it. Wii U has games I want so I already have the console.
Best console to buy right now is PS3, free online and a massive library of games.
>>12491803
> PS3
True, but only If you don't mind inferior third party ports (not that most would notice).
Hope the announce metroid later if xenoblade is getting an earlier date. Didn't think they would say a peep until e3
