If it's like that I kinda like it.
My main issue with the original (aside from crap Sidequests) is that all characters felt like they were designed to be used by a player but the game only gives you direct control over one character.
So the end result was that most characters felt basically useless unless you took direct control over them because their playstyle was too complex for the AI.
So reducing the number of playable characters and instead introducing characters designed to have a support role seems way better.
Is this confirmed?
I know it was like this in the 2 previous games but do we have confirmation for this one?.
If I can pull a MGSV and unlock some actual clothes/armour for the girl so it's no longer embarrassing to play this in public I might still be interested.
The thing with Zelda is that the other languages were allways there and Nintendo just didn't give you the option to have the voices be in another language than the text/menus.
So the question would be if the Japanese voices have enough space on the cartridge

Nay. Been checking various sites every couple hours. Nothing yet.
So there are no news about that since June. Thanks.

Are Blades like Personas?
Man, I keep reading posts like this over the years. Not once in the 8+ years I've been using Amazon pretty much exclusively for games have I received a damaged game box. I've bought A TON of collector editions, too. I feel bad for those of you with different experiences.
That said, I'm seriously giving consideration to switching to GCU. Prime still has appeal, but not so much in the video game department.

Always a good time to repost this short XC2 playlist from E3: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFwObPlg7Y1rLqeFE4sr7C-MQsfIdVTlF
Yeah, bestbuy still appears to be up. I've been exclusively digital this time around though and don't know how often I'll actually use GCU.

Almost exactly, especially if you go back to P1 where every character could have three in their inventory. They don't seem to alter your elemental resistances, but they do determine what sort of weapon you use for auto attacks (and obviously your skill set)
Anyone else still think that we haven't see all of the titans yet?
If you look at that concept art where it shows Rex diving underwater... have to wonder if there's a water titan still where you can swim. Anyone play it at E3 and could you dive?
I mean, there was that snow titan in the previous trailer as well, no?

Yeah, the phrase was used around WWII when the U.S. was fighting Japan. Its not all that common nowadays, but at least that is the history of the abbreviation.
The snow Titan could have been any Titan that has a cold part though, IIRC. Regardless, there's a good chance we haven't seen all Titans as Azurda's existence suggests there are many size of Titans, and not all of them will be "countries". Some shown in the latest trailer are barely cities / ships. The Nopon trading guild probably handles several of them.

Same taste as me, this is easily my favorite field music of Xenoblade
Love it so much <3
On the topic of Xenoblade 2, I'm anxiously waiting for an official statement on the voices. If the occidental version is only English, I'm buying the Japanese version.
And who knows, maybe the Japanese version will have subtitles choice.
In any case, I'm hyped as hell.

Ok... I'm now sold on Xenoblade 2 despite finding Pyra's character design disgusting. I wish that all the support characters just looked like the cool robot folk they showed in the Direct trailer!
Anyway, I'm pumped for December 1st now. Glad we've finally proved the delay theories wrong.

Has Amazon US put this up for preorder yet?
If I had to guess, it's likely going to be one VA track (English in the west, Japanese in Japan) due to card size constraints, as I can't imagine that Nintendo is going to want to break out the 32GB card if they can avoid it. I think everyone would be satisfied if they wound up if they offered the respective tracks as a download in the areas not getting them, but Nintendo has no history of doing that.

How is Best Buy with shipping special editions? I know some people mentioned that Amazon has had issues with packaging them well.
In my experience, they use boxes with a fair amount of bubble packs to fill in the gaps. I can't think of a single complaint as far as how I've gotten my LEs from them when I couldn't pick them up at a store.
Not yet.
Amazon is hit or miss with their packaging. Sometimes I get standard games in boxes, but then I get a LE on a bubble mailer.
I'll switch mine to Amazon even though there's a risk.
Hopefully it gets the discount like FE:Warriors SE did.
Same situation. Praying for the jp or asia version to include english subtitles.

Might just stick with my Best Buy order then if the SE isn't eligible for Prime. Amazon usually sends my game cases in bubble mailers which is fine, but they've also sent me books in bubble mailers.
I'm not sure if this SE is too large for a bubble mailer, so I would be a bit concerned about it being shipped poorly.
EDIT: Granted that hardcover artbook looks too big for a bubble mailer.
What are you saying!? No major improvements over the previous build/no graphic push for the Switch hw here.
Nothing to seeee heeeere!!!
(F5'ing Amazon.it every minutes looking for the LE to arrive)

No, just that the characters remind me of the Tales series. The scenaries are beautiful indeed.
I need more gifs like this! Good god... I freaking love the areas shown (well, except maybe that desolate looking titan but I need to see more first hahaha).
So, let me see if I understand the differences between the LEs for all three regions correctly (bolded are items exclusive to that region):
NA/AUS: features the cast shot artwork on the outer box, SteelBook case featuring the cast shot artwork, 220-page hardbound art book
JPN: features the cast shot artwork on the outer box, SteelBook case featuring the cast shot artwork, 200-page softbound art book, the standard version of the game with its normal case
EU: special outer box art work featuring Rex's sword, SteelBook case featuring the cast shot artwork, 200-page softbound art book, the standard version of the game with its normal case
Does that sound right?

Trust me, it's not. Fire emblem Shadow of Valencia limited edition is the size of a large but thin college text book and it was still shipped in bubble mailer x 3 for me (each replacement sent in bubble mailer too)...

The character design is so animu it hurts.
Still this game is one of the reasons I bought a switch.

JP Collector's Edition seems to include both the steelbook and the standard case.
Welp.
JP Collector's Edition seems to include both the steelbook and the standard case.
OK, thanks.
For all intents and purposes, the JPN and EU CE is effectively identical, with the outer box being the only key difference. Well, as far as the CE contents are concerned, as it's still unknown if the game is a universal SKU or got the Splatoon 2 treatment.
Yeah, for once EU got the better one IMO.
Oh my gosh, these two are so cute.

Really? I would think a hardbound art book with 20 more pages is more appealing than the outer box differences, but I am one of those weirdos that actually opens their LEs up to play around with the contents.

Every one complaining about Pyra so much they aren't giving Poppi the proper love.
JP Collector's Edition seems to include both the steelbook and the standard case.
Is the steelbook case not the same size/shape of regular Switch games? I would not want that. It seems the US and EU version are more like switch game cases, correct?
I open mines too but I'd rather trade 10% of the artbook against having both cases of the game and a different outer box than just the same art as the steelbook's one.

That is an offensive slur though I think a lot of people use it accidentally
I use JPN.

I don't think it's confirmed one way or the other regarding the NA version and the normal case; it's not explicitly stated anywhere, but the language "also includes" has me hoping.
You're correct on all counts otherwise though. In terms of minor differences, it's worth noting that all three regions have different art for the CD, and the coloring on the NA SteelBook seems brighter (though that could just be a rendering thing).

I love the original Xenoblade game and was intent on buying this, but the footage in the Direct looked some damn complex and complicated that I'm having second thoughts

Torna's Emblem should've been Belts and Zippers.
I played nearly 100 hours on the original game. Loved it.
I played like one or two hours of the Wii U game before never touching it again. I'm not sure what stopped me though. Maybe the introduction just didn't grab me at all. Or the fact that the main character was silent, or the ridiculously small text on my TV, I dunno.
I'm hoping this game is more like the original.

I actually had a thing with X where I wasn't really interested for the first few hours but it eventually clicked.
