Does the battle system still use auto-attacks?

The thing about XCX was that once you had the right augments and carried over TP from your last battle, you could dispense with all the auto-attack stuff and launch right into overdrive. Unless they've thrown the baby out with the bathwater, I think that XC2 will have some sort of mechanism for leaving auto-attack behind once you've advanced far enough in the game. If not, well, it's going to get really tiresome.

All arts shown in XC2 seem to be charged by auto-attacks like most of the talent arts were in XC1 instead of having a cooldown timer.
So, anyone think that "Elysium" is gonna have anything to do with either the original Xenoblade or X?
They said it won't have any ties to the previous Xenoblade games.
Like I said before, that doesn't really mean much. They said the same of X and that has some fairly clear connections.
Really? The only connections I saw were cameos. I'm pretty certain the worlds are supposed to be unrelated.
They make waaaaay too big a deal about theline in particular for that to be just a cameo."Hom Hom"

That's neither a "clear" connection nor nearly enough to begin even entertaining the thought that both games are linked.
Might as well add the monado hairpin as proof while you're at it

There is -a lot- involving the Nopon specifically that makes it seem like the world and story of Xenoblade happened a long time ago before X takes place. There is no definitive connection, but those hints are intentionally there and go slightly beyond simple homage. There's a large quest chain dealing with it.
The Telethia being in that world is also curious and they make a big deal out of it, enough so that it shows up in a story cut scene.
Xenoblade X frankly dropped the ball on the plot though, leaving a lot of the mysteries to be answered in some sequel...whenever that happens. So I think it remains to be seen if that world is truly connected or not.
The original Xenoblade ends. So I think it does make sense for that to tie into one of these sequels, somehow, at some point.with Shulk making a new world of some sort
At the start of the treehouse he said the game still needs polish, does he mean graphics or gameplay?

Really looking forward to this IF there is dual audio. English dubs sounded quite bad.
They're thinking of hiring CDPR to help.
I do not feel that you need to try to finish it if you felt "eh" on it. The story is really nothing so I would not worry about trying to complete it. I would at least say if anything at least try to get the Skells if you have not already just to see that bit of game play but other than that you can drop it.So here's my question: Loved the original, was eh on XCX but I didn't get too far into it (30 hours or so, but mostly sidequests). Should I just brute force my way through the game and finish it before this comes out or not even bother?

zero relation so if you don't want to, don't.

Oh hey, do we know if the cutscene director is the same dude as XB's? That game has some of the best cutscene direction I've seen in JRPGs.
I think so. The Direction here seems reminiscent of that game.

Yeah that's a real bummer. I'm sure it is because of the cart sizes, but fuck that.

Is that holiday 2017 in the west as well?
Yes, but it didn't say "Holiday 2017 in the West" specifically.Have you not watched any of the trailers?
Yes, but it didn't say "Holiday 2017 in the West" specifically.
In some eyes, designs like Pyra is a reminder of the Patriarch, hence when some go beyond criticizing the aesthetic and accusing those, in their own words, who make such things as enablers or perpetrators of sexism.I don't understand how people can think XC1 and XCX had "good designs" but XC2 is where they draw the line. All these games have anime as fuck designs for the characters. How shallow are some people if a characters outfit is the reason they'll pass on a game?

I wish the game was shown off again during the Treehouse but I guess I get why. They admitted the game is still being polished and the graphics aren't final. It was the same thing with Xenoblade Chronicles X at E3 2014 when you compare it with the final retail copy. The graphics improved overall and very significantly in many areas. I actually went back and looked at Nintendo's demo video of it that year and looked at digital foundry's video of the retail copy of the game since they both cover the opening area of the game. So I fully expect XC2 to look significantly better by release. However they likely didn't feel comfortable showing more of it in Treehouse.
