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.

Storywise there has to be more to the game than just those 5 regions, but in terms of actual exploration and game world, I think this might be it. There will probably be extra regions, but they might be entirely hostile zones which are one and done areas which you can't return to.

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 imagine they have not shown everything. For example, I think with all the new alien races shown, at least one of them must have a town of their own. Maybe not quite as big as New LA.

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

but we've seen a lot of the combat, at E3? it looked fine, like Xenoblade's with more information

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 have seen E3 video but I am not quite satisfy with it.

I expect some improvement because they hide it after that presentation for quite sometimes.

It also seems like these regions will be further subdivided if that bit with unexplored region discovered when they go to that cave is any indication

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.

For european ears the voices of US english localizations sounds almost the same :)

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.

I don't get your point though. They should make this game shorter just so you and people in your situation can play it? Aren't there plenty of short games out there? Like most games made? Maybe this game isn't for you if you are seriously worried about it. Hate to say it.

I'm more concerned now that the main campaign of the game will amount to an extensive introduction to the world and tutoral with some backstory woven in, and then maybe finished off with a few large conflicts at the end. Nothing character driven, since apparently you wont control a real character, just a blank slate avatar.

It'll probably be very fun and enjoyable, but not really for the same reasons as Xenoblade. The MMO style to-do list type of quests did nothing but bog down that game for me, if they can manage to emphasize those and improve upon them drastically this time around that's terrific, but that strikes me as an odd route to take for the series.

Well it's the same as it was in Xenoblade. There are large main regions (arm, leg, shoulder, etc) with individual areas in each region. Most of what they showed today is just an expansion of stuff already in Xenoblade. It's extremely familiar and similar.

XX+Wii U set up on the main site, comes with special design prepaid card, game world map, and artbook, none available elsewhere.

Looks like I'm getting a Wii U I'll never use.

I noticed, in the part when they are setting the equipment to show the map, that more than half of the first area was covered, but the map completion was just 11%

So yeah, there's probably more than five areas

Like the original Xenoblade, this game seems almost TOO huge, especially with the amount of menus to navigate. Ideal for late teens and early twenty somethings with a lot of free time, but not so much for dads with young kids.

I'm with you in that "family drama" :p
But, the solution is easy: every small piece of spare time will be dedicated to this game, that will probably last at least 6 months in my Wii U.

I really love how the characters look. I always preferred Xenosaga Episode 1's look to its sequels so I'm glad they got back that game and Xenogears character designers. I like the unique look. The created MC looks horrific though.

I had a theory that three more party members would be blue alien guy, long black-hair guy and purple cat girl with face mask from the E3 trailer.

Blue guy looks like a field NPC (though he pilots a mech in the E3 trailer). Long-haired guy is with your party when you meet him. Interesting.

Finally those environments and those mechs. This will be, as I thought when I first saw it my Game of the Generation.
