Wow is this a western developed game? They really nailed down the JRPG feel.

Really? I think it looks very, very WRPG.

This looks really cool. I'll definitely be grabbing this.

Rembrandt · Aug 19, 2016

This is a no for me, dawg

BananasWithGuns · Aug 19, 2016

Wow, awesome. I was really looking forward to this game.

Dazzler · Aug 19, 2016

smh @ Major Nelson spelling it as "sneak peak"

rhandino · Aug 19, 2016

Oh, I remember the KS for this one was kind of neat and the finished product seems really great, but:

"It's like Xenoblade Chronicles"

Where? It looks nothing like those games =/

Still, looks like a lof of fun.

Barakov · Aug 19, 2016

This looks interesting enough for me to give it a go.

statham · Aug 19, 2016

sweet, a JRPG.

Lichter · Aug 19, 2016

Looks cool

hawk2025 · Aug 19, 2016

This seems to be like Xenoblade Chronicles the same way that Oceanhorn is like Zelda.

BabyFaceKillah · Aug 19, 2016

Interesting.

Idk if I have the time for games like this anymore tho

DR2K · Aug 19, 2016

What about this is like a JRPG? Just curious

Chris1 · Aug 19, 2016

Huh... why did he announce it so early?

Game looks cool though

Not even close.

Wow this looks really good, I've never heard of it before.

That's new, lovely art style

chancellor · Aug 20, 2016

Is this the first time a newly released game is being included with GWG?

kevin1025 · Aug 20, 2016

I'm liking the art style! I'll give it a chance for sure.

If I'm not mistaken, Chariot and Massive Chalice were both new releases, and there were likely more. Technically the Banner Saga 2, if you count it as a new release on console (the PC version came out a couple of months earlier).

Baliis · Aug 20, 2016

This is a kickstarter game if anyone was wondering.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/171497873/earthlock-festival-of-magic

I played a bit of it since I backed it and enjoyed what I did play.

Garcia el Gringo · Aug 20, 2016

I want games of this style on Xbox One and I want more games premiered through GWG, so if this turns out to be a decent game I'll be ecstatic.

I'm checking out the Kickstarter for Earthlock and it sure looks cute. I'm about that.

Varg · Aug 20, 2016

I've been waiting for this damn game for like three years now since the initial announcement. I can't wait !!!

LordBaztion · Aug 20, 2016

This is pretty nice, hope download and play hours for this are high, for more japanese developers to consider the X1 a viable platform.

::looks at footage::

I'm pretty sure this person has not played Xenoblade Chronicles, nor watched any film of Disney or Ghibli.

It looks cool regardless, but nah man.

ThouIsARobber · Aug 20, 2016

This is certainly different for GwG. Not sure if I'll get too deep into it, but always excited to see something new.

Apoleptica · Aug 20, 2016

I'll give it a shot but the trailer didn't really impress me much. Game looks super slow paced.

GankzyMcfly · Aug 20, 2016

Wow was already looking forward to this game, stoked to be getting it with gwg

Deft Beck · Aug 20, 2016

I've worked with the voice actor of two of the male leads (human dude on the left, pig dude). Very talented guy! The game itself looks great, too.

Doffen · Aug 20, 2016

Norwegian games releasing left and right. Step up your game, Sweden!

Flux · Aug 20, 2016

The trailer looks good. Is this the first JRPG style on Xbox or the current gen (sneak in before FFXV)?

Damn, so Sweden is not only hated by the Finnish, but Norwegians as well?

dancrane212 · Aug 20, 2016

Guess this makes sense why the game was coming out digitally ahead of the physical release. Cool stuff!

This isn't the first time I've heard of Sweden being behind when it comes to making games, same with Korea. I'm sure they have the people that can develop the games, I wonder if the problem is having people with concepts and vision to create ideas for them to come together to make a game.

Chobel · Aug 20, 2016

This doesn't feel like JRPG at all.

Riposte · Aug 20, 2016

The utter nonsense people come up to describe games, I swear. It manages to look nothing like a single one of those things.

Not at all, it's happened several times.

jesu · Aug 20, 2016

Nice one.
Looks like a JRPG to me.
Video reminds me of Blue Dragon.

ThoughtsOfSpeaking · Aug 20, 2016

Have to say, kinda surprised at the responses here.

If this was a PS+ thread people would be screaming blue murder.

Falchion · Aug 20, 2016

Looks really pretty.

Syrus · Aug 20, 2016

Damn looks good

GankzyMcfly · Aug 31, 2016

Question....can i change the region on my xbox to Australia to get this game a day early (today) without having to worry about breaking any rules on xbox or gettin in any type of trouble? I can wait the extra day, i just have absolutely nothing going on today and am super excited about gettin started on this game but i dont know how that sort of stuff works. I don't want to be taking advantage of something im not supposed to be taking advantage of/breaking rules im not aware of. I do have a basic understanding when it comes to things like buying from a different regional store, you have to use currency from that region (i.e. if i wanted to buy a game from the US xbox store at their prices, id have to use a US xbox gift card) but im unsure what the policy is on the gwg. Ive seen that other regions have gotten different gwg in the past and ive never changed my region to exploit that because that seems like it would be breaking some sort of rule, but still uncertain about the gwg that planned for my region anyways.
