Well we know the titans are dying, and the landmass is reducing, presumably until theres nowhere left for humans to live. Going to Elysium is supposed to be the solution, but we know Takahashi, it won't be that simple.Ok, that new trailer is fantastic as well as interesting.
Seems like memories and the risk of losing them will be one of the primary dangers for blades. "When they return to their core, they lose their memories". Considering that losing one's memories pretty much equals dying, that should add quite some drama.
One character also says something in the vein of 'you cannot change the world like that!'. Makes me wonder if that relates to a bigger, overarching mission. Up till now, helping Pyea reach Elysium was the only task.
Ah, I can't wait. And pleeeease, Nintendo, have an anime series produced! The stuff seen in this trailer is already better than most random fantasy anime you get each season on Japanese tv. Would help strengthen the Xenoblade franchise, too

Have the digital copy loaded on my switch, and Ive booked days off work. Thursday 1PM GMT can't come soon enough.

I have the collectors edition on order too. More money than sense :xSpeaking of titans ... i know that there's no connection, but still ... how cool would it be if at some point you get to explore the world beneatj the clouds to enter an ancient, long since dead titan that turns out to be Bionis and Mechonis
Would love to have this game digitally, but I need the collector's edition
1PM Thursday will be 10PM in Japan, which is when the game will go live on the japanese eshop.How cam you play it Thursday at 1 ?
Just finished XC 1. I'm shaking.
Bring on 2! I'm really feeling it!
A new blade was introduced, 'Tsuki'. Will probably trigger OldGAF

She's surely over-the-top, but I love the variety in designs that the many blades offer.
The design on this one is really awful, and theare the least of the problem.tits
She reminds me of Shiva in FF, design seems solid to me besides the need to add huge bouncy tittays but w/e

For far down the rabbit hole can this go? Until we literally see someone naked?
Both threads of the "other forum" are monothematic about oversexualized designs, yep.
Today we have an awesome preview by easy allies, per ex, but "big titties".
I think I saw something in the new trailer, but I dont want to look any closer this close to release.I'm actually surprised that MonolithSoft went through the trouble to animate all those crazy designs. Tsuki is of more standard human shape, but others like the one with the ridiculous big arms on its head ... usually you'd only see something like that in still artworks.
Since skells are out, I'm now hoping that blades bring a lot of fun interactive abilities with them. We know about the white tiger that you can ride. Here's hope there are more 'out there' methods of traversal

Didn't plan to pick this up but... Well, it's here now!

How are the previews so far? Better than XC1?AFAIK, the review embargo lifts tomorrow on this game. Is anyone planning on doing the review topic?
I wonder what the tech specs will be. 720p handheld with a dynamic 900p/1080p docked?
Seriously doubt this game can run native 1080p docked, when even Mario couldn't do that.
Thanks for the pictures! 720p... ouch, but glad they are giving us some anti aliasing.
Can you turn subtitles off?
I received my copy early. It's good, but personally I found Xenoblade X to be more compelling. So far Xenoblade 2 isn't that compelling an RPG - for the first half a dozen hours or so you're basically left to follow the story via waypoints, and the pacing is all over the place. There are some great moments (but nothing to match the highs of the previous games' openings so far) but there are also a lot of cutscenes devoted to rather rudimentary events. Hoping it picks up soon. It's definitely good enough that I'm happy to keep playing it, but it's yet to have its hooks in me in the same way Xenoblade and X quickly did.
Rex and Nia are great characters, the dialogue is often entertaining. Gramps is a more fun mascot than I expected. Nia's BLADE surprised me - a Tiger that can climb vertical surfaces when need be! How cool is that?
The tech in this game is leagues ahead of Xenoblade X. Lighting, shadows, shaders are all modern, there's volumetric lighting and what appears to be physically based rendering, there's temporal antialiasing, there's soft shadows, HDR transitions, cel shaded character outlines and lighting, SSAO and so on. All in an open world game. Interiors are also very detailed.
But it comes at a cost.
Resolution is similar to DOOM. I pixel counted some screenshots I took of the game.
It's 720p maximum with temporal antialiasing in docked mode and it falls below in open areas. HUD is 720p.
It's 540p maximum with temporal antialiasing in handheld mode but it often falls below this. The lowest I've seen looks in the ballpark of 400p.
So expect a very soft image free of jaggies, but the low resolution in handheld mode often means things are rather blurry...
