Looks vastly improved over the Wii version, really looking forward to playing through and finishing it this time!

This people...THIS is what I have been waiting for. Fuck yeah! The best JRPG of the second-last generation in my humble opinion.

That almost looks like a remake and not a simple remaster. Just look at Shulk's face. In the Wii version it looks painted on. This version looks very good.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Looks really good, and... frankly, I wanted this more than a Xenoblade 3. The first game was a fluke -- way better than the two that followed.
Agreed. It looks a lot nicer then your standard remaster.

yes it's because you must have some taste left after playing that garbo game

Hyped!! I never played XC on Wii. The graphics look like the XC2 engine. Vastly improved.
As a huge fan, I am buying this.

The character models are obviously redone, I'd expect cut scenes have all been redone to, which would be great since Xenoblade 2 had incredible cutscenes.
I wonder how far further they'll take it. I once wished for a remake with multiple endings, since a game with a future-seeing protagonist and only one ending/timeline always felt a bit weird to me.

It could have new content too or else it wouldn't be called definitive. lol, unless they mean just graphics.

I liked Ni No kuni but XC (along with a handful of other games) almost saved the JRPG genre in that generation.At least on consoles.

It looks like it could be Bionis' shoulder, an area that was cut from the game but still left in the files.
Bionis' Shoulder
The Bionis' Shoulder (Japanese: 巨神肩, Kyoshin Kata lit. Giant God's Shoulder) is an area in Xenoblade Chronicles: Future Connected. It is the detached left shoulder of the Bionis. Originally the left shoulder of Bionis and the birthplace of the Giants, it became detached from the rest of it after...

I once edited the fast travel file to warp myself there. It was probably only cut for story reasons.

You mean Alcamoth?
Alcamoth
Alcamoth, or the Imperial Capital Alcamoth (Japanese: 皇都アカモート, Kōto Akamōto, alt. Imperial City Achamoth; English dub: /ˈælkəˌmɒθ/), is an area in Xenoblade Chronicles and Future Connected. Alcamoth is the Royal Capital City of Bionis. Populated by the High Entia race, it is the biggest city in...

Get ready for more REYN TIME
I'm playing this on the 3DS right now and although I'm feeling a slight burnout (I'm at the boss in Agniratha), it's really as amazing as the internet says.

Looks like a remake to me. I unfortuntely never got to play this game had to settle for the sequel even though this one looked way more appealing. Can't wait!

It's the Bionis Shoulder, we shouldn't be able to see outside out the eryth sea Alcamoth in the wii version

That's why I think that scene may be set on Bionis' shoulder. As well as the scenery being similar to the cut area, it'd be virtually the only place on Bionis where Alcamoth would be roughly level with it.

I remember your import "adventure" back then and how excited you were. Good days.

I wanted X. 60fps edition. This is bull! Bull!

Do you want a straight port, or do you want it to get the same treatment as this? New character models, reanimated cutscenes, new content?
I'll happily wait for an upgraded Xeno X over a quick port, even if it means waiting longer for XenoX 2.

Sometimes "definitive edition" simply means "buy this again edition".

The game has one of the best title screen soundtracks and we will get to enjoy it on the Switch.

Yeah, incredible. Its like they are redoing every texture. Must been working on this awhile. Its a huge game.

At the time it was passable though, it was a fantastic game in the end. Have you seen the New 3DS iteration? If not, be glad. I'm glad I skipped that one! Ever since the Switch was released I hoped for a proper remake of the first game.
