That footage looked so good. If that's really what the game looks like (even at 720/30) I will be very impressed!

Being a bit quick, they said they'll show combat next time.
They said this was strictly overworld stuff.
Its already over, and you can watch it now on their chanel. Youtube streams never work in Germany. Say thanks to the GEMA

"Next time, we'll teach you the skills you'll need for survival."
We'll get another video for combat.
Xenoblade also had no lip synching whatsoever. Takahashi don't care.
Lin is fine. No healer characters tho, so I'm afraid she'll be dead weight after a while.

Oh man, I lost like, 2 or 3 minutes due to youtube playing like garbage here.
I need to go with niconico on these events =X
Anyway, seems great, interesting that there are enemies that run way faster than you.
Soundtrack seems good, monsters look super good, affinity chart seems better, and I hope someone can translate those quests to see if they are generic or not =X
Awesome. I only wish they'd show us the mech combat.

This! Hahaha!
We already saw the combat since E3 or even before that. Besides, this is a field overview presentation.

Was that a Wii U & Xeno console bundle they talked about at the end that was around 35,000 yen?

Anyone else think there is more than 5 zones? Seems to me they didn't show all of it? Lot of black space on that map.
I feel you
I am still hyped for it though.
For sure. I just remember getting in my gaming time with Xenoblade and only playing an hour at a time or so...and having that hour just be me scrolling through menus and moving stuff around.

They've shown the combat plenty of times in the past, this presentation wasn't about that.
You're reading too much into it.

I love the attack on titan like track (first track used, same composer after all). Made the explanation so epic!!!
Yeah, the music played during the presentation is underwhelming.

Even better than expected. So very gorgeous.
Hopefully Sep/Aug in EU ...

What are each options?
The presentation was focused on the world. There'll be another one for the combat.
This is what I need to know most. I would love to buy a WiiU with this already installed, for instance!! Looks beyond my expectations actually.
I thought the very same.

Did nobody read the "Overview/ Field" in English?
Thank you and sorry because I do not know Japanese.
I am really looking forward to the combat system in this game.
Not a dad but I know how you feel. Two things though - you don't have to 100% the game, there's a lot of side stuff you can not do; and secondly, you can just save the game for a few-month period where no games are coming out. That way you can beat it over a long period, an hour here or there, without a shorter game derailing you.

Well, if there are 5 areas only, then each area has to be roughly the size of the entirety of Xenoblade.
I'm pretty sure there's more

Also there has to be at least one other planet in the game, right? The game starts with an alien ship and as far as I'm aware you don't land on their planet. So, yah, I feel there will be more locations than they have shown us. However it already looks very impressive.

If you've played the original Xenoblade, it's the same system with improvements/conveniences, like showing front/middle/back, and then there're Dolls, which I guess have their own arts.
They said they'll focus on combat next time. It's not the main pull of the game.

Oh man, flying around that world looks so awesome.

Xenoblade X includes the 1st game too right?
I'm uploading it to multiple file hosts, stay tuned.
Wow, they must have shown basically the whole game by now^^ Well, I'm not that hyped, anyway. Flying around and looking for hidden places seems fun, though.
But ewww, these shrill, infantile and over-acted voices in Japanese VAs are unbelievably painful for me nowadays. Will play in English. Same with FFXV, where Prompto's English VA sounds so much better compared to the Japanese one, even with the little we heard so far.

Did they give a date for the next stream?
And why is menacing OoT music playing right now?

Don't know if you already watched, but they released a combat trailer last year:

It's pretty similar to Xenoblade.

We've seen plenty of combat at E3. They even dropped like 2 minutes of just one battle last year at some Direct. Also its a pseudo-sequel and it plays similarly to Xenoblade.
They didn't go too story deep for this one. There are some locales from the second trailer that I didn't recognize in this one.
