Melia is actually 88. High Entia's life span is roughly 5 times that of a Homs, who live as long as us humans. Machina are immortal as long as they have what's necessary to survive, but they get bigger over time.

MASSIVE XENOBLADE ENDING SPOILERS:
My understanding is that Xenoblade's world isn't a computer simulation. It IS, in a sense, created by a computer (i.e. Alvis) the implication is that he/it reshaped our "old" world (at the very least; perhaps the entire universe) via an unspecified, highly advanced technological method (that either can only be performed from orbit, or it can only be SURVIVED from orbit). It was my assumption that this resulted in the demise, or more exactly "erasure", of all living beings existing in our world (including mankind, obviously), making Zamza a genocide even before Xenoblade's world history began.

Yeah it really is spectacular looking.
Come on Monolith.. fill that proprietary BD disc to the hilt with a massive world.
Between this and Ni No Kuni... return of the good console jRPG once again? (I haven't played enough of Xenoblade yet to pass judgment on that, so I'll just put it aside for this conversation)

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
I'm wondering if the mechs are just a very limited bonus you'll use for a while then ditch in order to progress. If you just find them out in the field and they have limited fuel then it seems that way. I wouldn't wanna hoof it across large distances after acquiring more fuel only to have it deplete by the time I get back where I refueled at, defeating the point of vehicle travel.
sorry if this was already asked, when and where is local mp confirmed?

Would be cool if the game has tons of customization down to armor, weapon of choice and your own mecha.
Anyway the game looks top notch. Totally got a Xenogears feel with the Mech Fuel gauge.

Xenoblade Endgame Spoilers:
Also at the end of Xenoblade, the world is reshaped again. X's world must be that new world. There are some mountain shapes in the trailer reminiscent to Gaur Plains.

hes just saying local co-op or even 3 player online co-op does not equal Massive Multiplayer Online(MMO)
DQX got ported to Wii-U in Japan so yeah

WII U HAZ NO GAMES!
So people are thinking this is a sequel to Xenoblade? Guess Id better go buy that before the new one is out.
It looks like at the absolute minimum it'll be a spiritual sequel, like Demon's/Dark Souls.
Same GUI layout, same battle system, mechs, etc.
and what the hell are you waiting for. I've finished Xenoblade 5 times now. I've played over 500 hours of it. It's so good man
Buy it anyway, regardless whether this is a sequel or not. Great game.
I see, still a kinda misleading comment. anyways I hope they do make it local, with gamepad/tv splitscreen.
Unless they some how make the gamepad integral. I hope they at least let you move alot of the HUD to the gamepad

It was either Ni No Kuni or Xenoblade this pay check.... but next check shall be xenoblade money!
This new game looks really awesome, I have to say it is probably the game I am most excited to play for the WiiU! Dem Graphics!!
Yep, and I always wanted to be able to get into a mechon and fly around. Now I can. YES

Nintendo just has to make Shulk an OP badass in Smash 4 and this game might break a million. It sorta worked for Pit!
oh my god
I just realised. constant map and quests as well as inventory/gear being displayed on the gamepad. This will literally save hours of flicking back and forth between menus.
Also, I hope this game has waypoints/map markers that you can set yourself. That's the one thing I felt Xenoblade was really missing, and would have saved plenty of time whilst doing quests. Would work brilliantly with the touchscreen on the gamepad.

If I remember correctly, the first Xenoblade trailer was shown 1 year before japanese release and the final game gr4fiXXX were a substancial improvement over it : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcflgnLmgms

Did anyone else saw the part were one of the companions was clinging on a monster and then fell down at 0:45?

Plenty of other games (on other systems) to play while I wait for it to come out. It just better be good!

this glorious thing is revealed and your best comment is a grumble about how something might be implemented?
Son. I am disappoint.
woah. That looks horrendous compared to what we got, especially after playing it on Dolphin:

I feel like a dummy for reading those Xenoblade spoilers. I thought I had already been spoiled on everything, but I was wrong.
Still gonna go back and finish it though.

The part that I like the most was the mech flying off the cliff. It establishes that the entire vista is a playable area and you can just land wherever.
Yes but that trailer as more polished, this one looks more rushed, maybe they where only going to show the game at E3.
hmmm doesnt seem too different to me. Obviously things were changed(gui especially). I just dont really see a significant quality difference, unless maybe there were side by side comparisons.
Also it feels a little lackluster because that trailer didnt show any massive field traveling, where a better comparison probabaly could be made, but we cant.

We've yet to see how they handle cities. Most of those in Xenoblade weren't particularly grand. Neat but inconsequential and just places to find quest marker NPCs or whatever, not environments to explore, get lost in and discover awesome stuff. It did make some sense in the setting, but still, I do hope they have at least one big proper city to go with it though, something like a HD Lazulis city (from The Last Story), with more indoors parts and of course not all medieval fantasy. Maybe if it's far enough into the Xenoblade future that colony you helped rebuild will have grown into a capital with tons of alleys full of stuff to see. Edit: well, after watching some videos the city areas are bigger and nicer than I remembered them, but the gameplay, camera angle, quests, etc, make it feel like just a backdrop to the few if any interesting bits. Hopefully they fix that sense.

I wouldn't say that. I certainly hope they will, but we don't have much to go on.
