Xenoblade Chronicles X English Direct April 24th

Do we know if the Mechs will be named Skells in Europe as well?

Probably it will be the same localization as NoA, but I would pay extra for British voices and getting rid of Skell and Tats. NoE should make a DLC for that.

Edit: I hope that at list the narrator voice from the Direct won't be in the VA.

So at the 7:49 mark is the song that was playing during a certain fight during the stream. Getting the feeling this is the song that plays when you fight unique monsters (like "You Will Know Our Names" in the first Xenoblade). Thoughts?


...people have probably already been discussing this, haven't they?

Yes "Uncontrollable" is the song for the "overed" Monsters, like "You Will Know Our Names" in Xenoblade.

Yeah, probably. I'm curious if NoE will bother changing anything. Probably just text stuff if anything.

I don't see any reason why the localisation for EU would be different.

Mario Kart is different. So is Pullblox/Pushmo, there's precedent. But I doubt they'll change voice acting. I just reminded myself that the cast probably say the word Skells at some point.

Typically EN Dubs aren't that different from the JP dubs, and especially when they continue to re-use the same VA acting pool that they do to fill in those same roles. Xenoblade was a rarity in that regard where you had charming British VA come in.

And if you don't like hearing it. Well too bad, but that goes to show that it's enough of a complaint that it isn't just me thinking that.

Typically, EN Dubs are in no way similar to JP dubs in quality or effort.

So, this being a pointless Direct (not useless, mind you), it means that Skelloblade could still be the highlight of Nintendo's E3.

Zelda is different too. Heck; even French version is different with France and Québec. Names, expressions change depending on the version. French Quebec version has Beedles while in French France version, his name is Terry. Some words also change, including story heavy words.
 
Seems an interesting take on the usual snowy areas we're presented with in games for sure. Plus it's absolutely gorgeous at night!

Is this the first time they've shown a female CaC? Did they also confirm outfits and such? Either way my Wii U is ready. I need to dust off the poor thing, haven't had much time to play it in a while.
