Dude I screamed when I saw the tweet about it. I fucking adore Xenoblade X, and actually just finished the first Xenoblade and was wondering if they'd ever rerelease this. I am so so excited.
To me, X is one of the strongest of the games. It's the first Xeno to truly bring back the essence that came from the first Xenogears game, in how it mixes human and mech combat together. Another thing is, while not the strongest of character-based stories, it is one of the strongest in overall Science Fiction Plot of the group. The places this game's story arc takes the player of the game, is something so wild outside of what NeverEnding Story wanted to do. Not only one of the best plot twists in fiction, the fact that they didn't stop at 1, in doing so. My favorite aspect of X, outside the gameplay, atmosphere, and challenges within, is how the game manages to refresh itself, over and over again, not simply in how it layers more stuff into itself, but how you change over the course of the game, effectively changing the game. Still, right from the beginning, the scale of the game is crazy. It not only looks like a living "YES" album cover art, the very first creatures you are introduced to, your entire character is not even as big as one of their toenails. There are a lot of secrets to find in Xenoblade Chronicles X, and I didn't even fully 100% it and it took me 120 hours to finish it, the first time. But the true magic of Xenoblade Chronicles X, is the way they hide most of the greatest secrets of the game you play in, right in plain sight. You just can't "see" them yet. With your eyes, yes. But that's it.
The atmosphere of this game is literally perfect. You get sucked into the world so easily. Exploration is easily the best in any open world game in existence, combat is fast and snappy and HIGH skill ceiling. Then of course, the music is insanely good. Uncontrollable still being top tier to this day.
Yes the soundtrack is a blast with tons of banger hits. Can't wait to rock out to Uncontrollable while trying to defeat aka survive an encounter with a Tyrant-Class Enemy.
I am so excited to finally get to play this one. I never had a Wii-U so I missed it initially, but I have heard about it for years now and it always sounded like exactly my kind of game.
I literally installed it on my hacked Wii U yesterday after waiting 10 hours for it to install and working out all the bugs and then this morning I see this.
@@shigerumiyamoto9612 I think it took me like 40-45 ish hours into the game to get the Skel. If I remember correctly there's a set of submissions you have to do that aren't technically part of the mainline quests. I remember having to go out of my way to get it but I don't know if the game even forces you to get one. 🤔
Xenoblade Chronicles X feels like a game Monolith Soft made as their own spin on Star Ocean. Instead of having a post apocalyptic setting with technology, they instead have it set in a sci fi world with technology but with a "Lost in Space" setting. Like pioneers looking for a new world. Technically still post apocalyptic with the prologue but I'm sure you get my point.
Is anyone else excited for the scene at the end that maybe could be hinting at a new post-game story content that could finally give us some extra answers almost a decade later? 👀
I would say that is pretty much guaranteed, especially since that was a big part of the cliffhanger and they have said there will be new story content.
That's literally the main reason I'm playing this again. And staying FAR away from spoilers so I can experience it for myself. That cliff hanger is criminal, so I'm glad they're addressing it.
To me Xenoblade Chronicles X had the most impressive looking world in a game no matter the system back in 2015! And I have always wanted it to come to the Switch. Although I've read that Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is basically this game but improved. Either way I'm happy to finally be able to play it.
I explored almost all of this game's world on foot. I was in game terms a "Pathfinder" so my "job" was to find locations that act as fast travel points. Across the entire planet I think I only found 3 that I couldn't get to on foot. I refused to get Skells until I couldn't explore anymore without and it actually helped because some creatures *only* attack you if you're in a Skell, they ignore you on foot. I'd say don't rush for vehicles, savor the scenic hiking trails.
Oh my god, that is my exact same experience. Glad Iw as not the only one! Also a pathfinder, refused to get my skell licence until I unlocked every single probe site you could on foot. Explored nearly all of Primordia, Noctilum, Oblivia, amd Sylvalum before getting a skell. I only relented exploring cauldros on foot because of the magma rain and the crazy monsters hahaha. Even then, once I got the skell I basically just used it to do the super jump quick transform trick to reach even farther areas on foot lol. Not to mention sequence break using the super jump to get Mechanical skill level 5 before the flight module. By the time I got the flight module I only had the sky island probe in Primordia, and the bottomless pit probe in Oblivia to do, plus 1 more im forgetting. I cant describe how hyped and joyful I am at this remaster.
Same for me, though I think I was Prospector. I think I held off on getting a Skel for so long because my mind kinda saw it as like riding a horse in Zelda, having more finicky controls. The one thing I do remember from doing this, was swimming all the way from Primordia to Sylvalum at around the level 15-20 range. It took so long, but I was determined so I could place a probe for fast travel later.
The reason we wanted X is because it was fucking great and in fact did more than even Zelda BOTW Wii U in some aspects, plus, still holds a ton of potential to go even beyond. Given that Monolith is doing the definitive edition, we can expect a lot, in between story expansion and QoLs, a lot more than what other Nintendo teams usually do. There, said it.
How could anyone not like Riki, the comic relief character that also takes time to chat about serious subjects and cheer up the party members, motivating them to be their best selves. In addition to the fact that Riki is a father with a HUGE heart and loves his wife, kids, and adopted kids very much! In XCX, we have Tatsu... and sadly the only memorable part of his character is the same joke repeated over and over about a party member teasing about eating him. He's kinda useless and just follows the party because he has nothing better to do
I literally was looking at my Wii U reminiscing of this game and my RU-vid home page had the trailer, me thinking it was a random suggestion of the old one, NO it was the day, it happened.. ITS HERE
This was the RKO of Nintendo announcements, it came from outta nowhere! Honestly didn't think we'd see this game again, so it's nice for the Xenoblade fans out there!
If you look closely Lin and Elma's designs are slightly different, namely their hairstyles, Lin only has 1 hairclip on her right side and it's actually holding her hair back so you can see her right ear, Elma's bangs are shorter, now about ear length and her hair flicks out a bit instead of being fully straight down, Lao looks basically the same so I wonder who else is getting a design change?
Im so jealous for the people that get to play this one for the first time, what an amazing experience, I will for sure buy a super duper edition for this if it exists. I still have my special edition with the steal book and art work, what a fantastic game.
Concerning this announcement: Tuesday mornings are a common time for announcements, and this announcement happening now of all times shouldn't have been a surprise because next year is the 10th anniversary of the game! It only makes sense for Monolithsoft to save the release for the anniversary, especially considering that's exactly what they did for Xenoblade Chronicles 1! I _had_ said that this would release next year multiple times this past year. As for further Wii U ports: Yoshi's Woolly World probably has the best chance given that it also has an anniversary next year, combine that with Super Mario Bros.' 40th anniversary... Otherwise; Twilight Princess HD might happen in 2026, though The Wind Waker may have a stronger chance on GameCube Online someday.
yeah i think at this point in the zelda branding they aren't going to package wind waker and twilight princess toghether. They know they could pop those puppies out individually for 60 bones and we would lap it up at the same rate, with some gripes thrown in.
@hurgcat The Wind Waker and Twilight Princess were _never_ going to be bundled together, as they have nothing in common besides the series and the systems they were on. Separate releases in separate years is the way it would happen if at all. And even then, remasters don't always return when Virtual Console is an option. Twilight Princess has been on every home console since its creation and has an anniversary not too far off, hence why I said maybe 2026. But The Wind Waker skipped the Wii and its anniversary has come and gone and might be a better fit for Nintendo Switch Online anyway.
He is not and I agree with him. Nopons are extremely annoying and I was ALWAYS rooting for Lin to eat Tatsu. Ricky isn't even half as annoying as Tatsu.
XCX is really about the side quests, which aside from it being on the Wii-U I think is the reason it really didn't blow up. If you skip the side quests, there goes like 90% of the story. The side quests give you a lot of hints as to what's going on and how this could be connected to the other Xenoblade games. For instance, the Nopon are the only race native to Mira and NOBODY can leave the planet because it most likely exists in a pocket dimension. If you don't do the side quests, you miss those 3 very important lore bits.
Omg!!! OMG!!!! As a late addition to the fandom (jumped into the Xenoblade Chronicles series during the pandemic on Switch) and this is the ONLY one I haven’t played yet. 😭 Thank you thank you thank YOU! Omg I’m so happy!!!
I got home and saw the Nintendo Life article in my Google feed that it had been announced. I thought it was a prank! I've been waiting so so long. It's my favourite game of all time.
I was like casually browsing YT when the trailer dropped like an hour before and I was like "NO WAAAAYY!!" and was like "OMGGGGG". Weakest in a narrative sense, yes but overall gameplay and experience is astounding! If this is a definitive edition, I hope the narrative will be completed!
My FAVORITE Xenoblade!! Vast world to explore, involved gut wrenching side quests, skells , online interaction with other players , awesome soundtrack, beautiful world and Alma and Lin.
This announcement came right out of thin air. But it does give credence to the rumor that Nintendo has been asking their second and third party partners to have some more remasters of their older games, due to the (continuous) delays of the Switch follow-up. Especially if Nintendo holds onto their 1 major title per month release model. I'm pretty sure we're going to see those Zelda remakes as well before the launch of the next console.
I played the Monster Hunter Wilds beta and later i just wanted to search for some Music on RU-vid to do something for University. Well 3 Hours later im searching for every possible Reaction about this. I still want it to be a Cross-Gen Title (please, on Switch 2 let it be higher Resolution) but XCX DE!!!! (Finally the Multiplayer Content is back)
I didn't feel like I understood the battle system when I originally played it and never ended up finishing the game. I hope they make it a bit easier to understand this time around.
I think the biggest shame in terms of games we haven’t gotten for the switch, is a sequel or port of Nintendoland. Best minigames for a party game on the WiiU
I keep hearing people say that this game doesn't fit in with the other three xenoblades it doesn't have to The original xeno saga series didn't fit in with the current stuff so for people to keep saying that is a mute point there's three games of that not every game has to be that same format or formula for me personally the futuristic tech is the way to go I still enjoy the other ones but just tired of hearing people complaining about how they wish it was like the other three embrace different ideas have the people who are saying this didn't even own a Wii u to even play it originally personally I'm extremely excited and this is a day one hopefully they come out with a collector's editions that I can have to put in my room been waiting on this board 6 or 7 years now.
I played on wiiu for an hour or two, quite liked it. Unless I'm seriously mistaken it was xenoblade with guns and grenades, mechs. It's set involving America instead of imaginary land and.. MULTIPLAYER!
What is Alex’s problem with XB2?? It’s a masterpiece. I’m so freaking excited about this. So unbelievably excited. Edit: AND FELIX DOESN’T LIKE NOPON?????
One change for me is that the flight music resets the overworld music. It got a bit irritating when you just needed to fly up a small distance you get a burst of the flight tune. Those first four notes are burned into my memory.
I remember seeing the first ever trailer where they showed a giant mech in an open world setting and being so intrigued. We are sorely lacking in those kind of games.
I was that one guy that was genuinely expecting for this month after month, I had almost lost faith. I was casually having breakfast when I got a notification from Nintendo’s channel. I almost choked on my bread.
Replayed it last year on my Wii U because I finally gave up hope of it ever coming to Switch and just could not wait any longer to play it again. Looks like I have a third playthru coming up in March 😅 (and FYI it absolutely holds up, do not hesitate to buy this one)
That's one less game stuck on Wii U. The only major games we need now are Yoshi's Wolly World, Kirby & The Rainbow Curse, The Legend of Zelda Wind Waker & Twilight Princess HD, and maybe Star Fox Zero and Nintendo Land (I know there are issues bringing those games over, but still, they are games that could use a wider audience).
I saw a youtuber playing this a few years ago and was totally mesmerized. Ive wanted to play it ever since. I finished xc1 this year and im over 250 hours into xc2 after finishing torna and buying xc3. I am definitely getting this day 1.
3:05 dog I hate this argument. This was the second game in the line up before 2 got all anime. To me this WAS fitting because it was a new world fresh ideas and it’s own continuity. I thought all Xenoblade games would be like that
This actually makes me so happy, I’ve just picked up Xenoblade Chronicles, and it’s honestly hooked me, now I’ll not need a Wii U to play the full line up.
Xenoblade X felt more like a Western RPG to me than a JRPG. I really liked how much the side quests affected things in the game. In fact, you won't get nearly as much out of it if you just play the main quest. Most of the story is actually in the "side" quests. I hope they fixed the main flaw (the item fetch quests).
What we want to see Updated 1: Boob slider uncensored well uncensored gameplay from the original Japanese version. 2: Better online mode with more exploration harder missions and larger exploration of maps' for online mode 3: Better inventory clutter fix, with previews of equipment on obtaining them, and previews in the menu of each item. 4: Maybe a multi-player to explore your own world with friends in split screen and or online. 5: Let me choose to turn off the flight music. 6: When flying around in your mech, another key to turn into a Jet plane Mech to fast speed past map areas or escape from an op enemy. 7: Let us bring the Jump skill back. ---------------------------------------- I ranked over 30,000 hours in this game. I wonder how long the online mode in this game is now, or will they shutdown the servers like they did on the wii-U? Side note my character you might recognise is called Nirvana I was online 24/7 nearly since the wii-U's American release lol. Hopefully they give us new mechs and a lot of them, and more customization perhaps some download content to give us mechs like in Xenogears with cool weapons and unique abilities that are op lol I'd like to fly around with Xenogears from well Xenogears lol Lau in the game might mean he can bring his black mech to help the team lol. Also you know there's going to be a Xenoblade Chronicles X-2 if this game does well on the switch, and it will come out on the switch 2 guaranteed. Wonder when it will be on physical pre-order? Oh don't worry m8 they can connect all the characters like they did in the games, via the dimension rift, and yes this is my fav game of all time probably. I spent the longest on it than any other game in the world, the main story was weak and quick, but the exploration and missions were so good it made up for it. What do you think? What would you like to see updated or changed?
Knew this game would come. They stated before that the cost to port it would be a games budget in itself. Glad Nintendo gave them the green light. Xenoblade been killing it.
Personally, I would like it if they made the Skell acquisition happen around 24 hours into the game. Long enough to walk around and feel that you're small in this world, and still have the WOW impact of piloting one.
Nintendo has thrown another curve ball and what a surprise, I’ve always been interested in the Xenoblade Chronicles series and Xenoblade Chronicles X will be a great start for someone that will be new to the series like myself. Now all we need is Yoshi’s Woolly World and I will be happy.
I wouldn't consider this the "weakest" of the three Xenoblade series. This one stands out head and shoulder on its own. Not to mention the sci-fi/cyberpunk theme it got going on, and to top it off - MECHS you can pilot that actually transforms (Robotech/Macross anyone??). This also has gotta be one of the largest non-MMORPG (though it kinda feels like one) game worlds i've played. Its definitely got a complex main storyline in there, with TONs of side quest mixed in though i do feel there's more emphasis on exploration than storyline. Needless to say, i'm psyched about this one.
ITS THE GOAT! IT FINALLY HAPPENED.......i legitimately cried fam......this is more than a game.....

The update instantly woke me up. I was about to hit the snooze button on my phone when I saw the news on my news feed. Shit, I went from sleepy to complete awake as I celebrated the news
They should have kept the doll-like look, as it fit the fact that they are robots theme! Moreover, Goddess Elma is back!!! But what's up with her new art style and she was a little darker complexion-wise (I liked that)! I hope things improve on that front! Other than that... I'm excited!🎉
