...That makes the English voices a lot better, and I'm already fine with them.
The game also looks a lot better. Can't waaaaait!

I wonder how many Xenoblade games we can get before KH 3 actually comes out.
So far we've got Xenoblade Chronicles 3DS, Xenoblade Chronicles X, and XC2. I bet they can get someone to do XC HD remaster and a port of XCX to switch before next fall if they really try.

I'm okay with this as long as the final game is great. Time spent in the oven doesn't affect the price the consumer pays....well, how badly they try to get you to buy DLC aside.
I mean, if we stick to real games, it'll be two, XCX and XC2. KH has had plenty since KH3 has been announced too if you're talking ports and such.

It was revealed a day before the second XCX teaser was shown: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APWTJMyM4qg
I think KHIII looks really promising, though.

Yeah that's a train wreck. They still won't commit to a release year. 4+ years after announcement.

Mario Odyssey, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, and Mario and Rabbids were all announced and released in less than a year.
It's quite nice.
XC2 is an impressive turn out with XCX being so massive and not being that old.
It does look better than XCX, but not at first glance. The lighting and the rendering seem more modern and the art style, while simpler, fits the designs of the characters much better.
All the NPCs looked pretty good, or at least how they're supposed to.

I think they had 2018 in their D23 trailer, didn't they? Could definitely be wrong, though, haha.

Okay but that has nothing to do with the point that the turnaround time for Xenoblade 2 is very efficient when taking into account console RPGs.
True, true.

Bravely Second -> Octopath Traveler is going to be 3 years!

Also, they only showed who was 6 of the 8 banners. I'm pretty curious about the last two factions. I hope most of them are interesting enough. Mor Ardain became a bit more interesting because it elaborates a bit on what Takahashi mentioned in the gamespot interview but there needs to be more to see of everyone.

Don't get me wrong, I'll be more than happy to play this on Holidays. Guess I'm just surprised. I expected that we'll heard about X2 for longer than that.
I don't care if I'm wrong, I'm just cautiously optimistic.

So my guess is the Blonde blade starts with the Empire of Mor Ardain given they appear to share Scottish accents in the English dub.
Falcom still churns out a new title a year too, pretty consistently. Though they alternate franchises with each year, they work pretty well.
I'm actually not sure we've heard the blonde Blade's voice--that seems to have been the helmeted woman who was talking last trailer.
Okay but they're a few generations behind no matter what platforms the games are actually on so...

Someone on the last page linked to a BB preorder page. Worked for me.

Just say the name Mario and everyone knows it. XC2 needs to build up it's brand name.
And there tends to be a great deal of rehash in their sequels, also saving development time.

I just hope I can get that special edition and controller!
We already have a lot of Mario coverage, while Xeno 2 not much. Promoting it this much is a sign of high confidence for the game.
I mean if you're talking only Kiseki, sure. But Ys VIII iirc moved to a new engine, and TX was a new IP for them entirely. The last time they made a direct sequel was with Sen II in 2014. Even Sen III is in their new engine, and even from previews alone, will feature massive amounts of new areas/assets for said areas. It's been a while since they've been able to reuse the stuff they've already made.
Sen 2 -> Sen 3 is 3 years tho!

It's not like they burned through a lot of world building ideas in X.

It is quite fascinating that there seems to be quite a bit going on and a bit more of a grey area than the original Xenoblade in terms of how the world itself is structured. I hope they can have the characters remain interesting on most sides.
Erm, hopefully it does. It's a 220 page artbook, it would suck if it isn't complete. You know that you don't have to read it before you play the game right?

It's almost twice the size of the XCX SE artbook, so I'm assuming it has stuff from everything in the game. I'm glad I waited to flip through the XCX artbook until after beating the game.
Considering how long a Xenobkade game takes to complete, having an artbook just sitting on a shelf not to be opened would suck though.
If they had a dedicated section to end of game stuff so I could avoid that, sure!

Why would you read an artbook of a game you haven't beaten?
We're talking endgame twist here. After the final boss. Completely unmarked.
I get artbooks because I'm an amatuer artist, I really appreciate and admire the skill on display in these books.
I should also note I held off until I completed XCX because of the GAF thread where there was a warning. I'm not alone on this issue.

Totally disagree. With all the alien race substories interactions and political sub quests, the world building in X is huge and way more complex than XC. It's the general plot line that's lackluster.
Berseria is at least really good though even though the series could still of course need improvement.
Well, yeah. I wouldn't think you would need to mark spoilers in an art book since it would go without saying.

Pleasantly surprised that XB2 is making the 2017 holiday date, so I'm rather happy about it.
In for the LE whenever Amazon/Best Buy puts it up.

Leave X where it is. Give me Xenoblade Chronicles 1 on switch so I can have both 1 and 2 together.
or just bring both!
I could be wrong, but that sounds like Shigeru Chiba (probably best known as Pilaf in DBS at the moment), which is no bad thing. If it's not him, then it's a very good impersonation. Either way, they seem to be going for a more lighthearted comical character.
The English Mrs. Doubtfire thing was just dreadful in comparison. BOTW, FE Warriors and Xenoblade 2, all with terrible English acting, it's a damn shame.
