Yeah something about strengthening the bond with friends, not sure if he is talking about online or the affinity with your characters (like in xenoblade chronicles).

Looks amazing. One of my most anticipated titles, for sure.
Bigger screenshot:
What if the keyboard means you can write messages to characters in game like in animal crossing and the other thing is to give voice orders to your IA team members/mechas?

It is so going to be online

Quoting for new page:
What's going on with the weapon on his back? Can the player unequip it on the fly (and place it at his waist) or is it a bug?
Which is a shame, this colors look dull to me compared to the original game.

I believe the player switched to a different weapon while running.

It's the melle knife switching to the gun. Remember the treehouse footage?
You can switch between melee and ranged attack on the fly...
(Edit: Heh, three in a row...)

Minor thing, but there seems to be no collision with the two animals on the leftside.
They opened an official twitter account.

Targeting 2015? Ugh. So if this and Zelda gets delayed what am I going to look forward to on my Wii U? I guess a year of Smash Bros.?
You have to remember this no longer takes place in Xenoblade's vibrant high-fantasy world; X is distinctly grounded sci-fi, and the color palette accommodates that theme and setting very well. And that's not to say that's not colorful (take a look at the scenery during the night, or when it's bright and clear outside)- it is. It's just not as vibrant as Xenoblade.
Anyways, last gif and my last post for today.

The engine this game is using is awesome, I haven't seen framerate issues or massive pop in. Kudos to Monolith. And dat draw distance!

It's going to take everything in me not to spoil the soundtrack before the game comes out in North America.
Still hoping Treehouse will localize it themselves so that maybe I'll get a big JRPG with no swearing/cussing. That would make me so happy!

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
I know this isn't a popular opinion, but I kind of would like it to get delayed till 2016.
This is such an ambitious project in scale and being the team's first HD, there are a lot of elements that look like it can still use a lot of polish - not to mention they need to finish the core content. The extra playtest time could do this game wonders, I'd imagine.

You can try other announced games, you know.
Well Japan is getting this on Spring, so might as well head there.

I love how there's no pop-up at all in that gif.

Needs more flowers.
Seriously, my backyard is more colorful than this gif.
I'm sure it will be a great game, but can't help but feel disappointed that it isn't as "vibrant as Xenoblade". Of course, we haven't seen everything yet, so maybe later areas will be.

People forget or don't realize that the dome is a space colony from Earth.
That particular dome is New Los Angeles, so its man (earthling) made. It's supposed to be familiar (reality based) architecture.
The alien stuff is the entire planet the Earth colony crashed on.

I think Japan is a shoe-in for a 2015 release since Quarter 2 is it's current schedule in that region. It's North America that's questionable right now.
Very likely, we'll be seeing this game in English for the first time next year. At E3 perhaps.
oh? I don't see it lol

Sadly, Zelda, Metroid is the franchises I like the most from Nintendo. I am getting Smash U no question, maybe I should grab Mario Kart 8 sometime, but that isn't the game I normally play.

Iwata said NATIVE CREATURES but lewd gaf heard naked smh

Only if we get to hunt them.
Okay, one last, quick one...
Like I said, Xenoblade's vibrancy has no place in this game. There's an overabundance of JRPGs that incorporate Xenoblade's vibrant palette, and only so many of this variety of sci-fi that you wouldn't need more than a hand to count them. The game looks gorgeous for what it's intended to be and shouldn't be slathered with more color just because.
Expect different colors, not more vibrant ones.

YOU NEED BAYONETTA IN YOUR LIFE!
Just kidding. Painful wait for us all but at least with it coming early in Japan, it makes me hope that it is coming this year in NA. Gotta give the Treehouse guys (or whoever is translating this) our energy! *raises hands in the air*
Fantastical

If this does not make 2015, I will scream and cry and curse Nintendo. YOU HEAR THAT IWATA?!?!?!
Bookmarked! Will always be checking this for updates.
Anyone expecting stuff like Colony 9 or Frontier Village need to temper their expectations. You could tell that from the very beginning.
Think more Xenogears/Gundam than Xenoblade.
It seems perfectly in place. This is nothing new for them. The GTAV comparisons are dumb when stuff like this has been done waaaaay before that.

It's a big game. You should rather it get delayed and be the best that it can be than come out and felt something's missing.
