Spear? Wow, the original didn't have a Spear user unless you count the staff mashing that Melia can do =D

Oh and also the fact that you don't need to go to the chest after defeating an enemy looks very useful for long sessions and not miss a chest if the enemies fall to their death =P

Thanks StreetsAhead, all this info is really awesome and interesting.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Holy cap streets, I'll read that when I get home from work.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Theres a jurrasic park gif for the end

 

[random25]

Wow Streets you're awesome! Thanks for the info!

 

[evanmisha]

This might be a weird place to ask, but if anyone in Japan is looking to snag a cheap copy of Xenoblade X and a Wii U console, I'd be willing to go in on the bundle in exchange for the box and the bonus goods. Will also wholly cover shipping. PM if interested.

edit: also omg streets for president

 

[StreetsAhead]

Whoa Streets XD, Xenoblade 3D really upped your hype levels for X ;P, thanks for the info =D

Actually playing Xenoblade right now on the Wii U did it

 

[foxuzamaki]

Speaking of which, chuggaconroy might have finished the story conclusion of xenoblade today, if not today then tomorrow.

 

[Effect]

Excellent work Streets. Thanks!

 

[moolamb]

I'm starting to feel like I should name my Xenocross avatar StreetsAhead, the grand god of Xeno.

He did what with the who now?

 

[Rich!]

Haven't followed this game at all (on purpose, staying dark), but I'm hyped as all hell

Fucking love Xenoblade. Just made some custom themes for my regular 3DS XL:

music: eryth sea night

music: satorl marsh night

Can't wait for X and even Xenoblade 3D. So glad the series is getting a good amount of effort put in by Nintendo.

You can make your own themes now?

With homebrew, yeah

well thank god, cuz your work has been so damn welcomed

super happy to see some xenosaga elements back in the battle system, however minor.

 

[chadboban]

Thanks streets! Damn, "Fullmetal Jaguar" has got to be one of the coolest class names I've ever heard.

 

[TheMoon]

I rewatched the video of both Treehouse demos yesterday (One, Two)and in trying to get my head around the battle system and how it differs from Xenoblade, I started writing what I knew down since that's how I learn best and although I feel like it's super old information, but I'm mostly curious about how my understanding of the battle system matches up.

Just wanna point out, there's already a summary (albeit without the very useful translations of menus) of the systems here: http://www.giantbomb.com/xenoblade-chronicles-x/3030-41347/

But the rundown of the class screens, etc is greatly appreciated!

Ya crafty bastard! *shakes fist*

If richisawesome does something weird and you didn't know you could do, assume it's homebrew

 

[Smiles and Cries]

forgot about poop digging for items ;_;

Avoided the E3 stuff as much as possible, so I didn't even know about that. That's.... pretty awesome, ha ha.

L-Stick: Character movement
D-Pad: Arts selection

This really annoys me.

Of everything, I feel as though my understanding of Soul Voice is the weakest, but it sounds as though your party members will give orders to you via orange dialogue boxes, asking you to perform specific arts or attack specific body parts. Doing so within a certain time will raise your 'Soul Stage' (the yellow bar just above the arts palette), which will trigger the B-button based events, where you must hit b within a certain time (good timing = succeeded, perfect time = huge succeeded). This will then help heal your party members (and provide other bonuses?).

The color of the dialogue boxes depends on the art type, orange for melee, yellow for shooting, green for buff, etc.The corresponding art icons will also be shining. Seems you can ask Elma to perform arts, too. I think succeeded also provides affinity bonus, a pink heart will pop out from Elma's head.

That's freaking awesome. No more giving gifts to girls - just tell them what to do!

[random25]

Can't wait for the translation of the short story! Looks interesting as it looks to be some sort of a back story about Tatsu.

 

[Otakumegane]

That Monster design, the way each one has its own cycle.

Did I see 343 Guilty Spark in there. We saw a LOT on new monsters.

I really hope we can map L-stick camera and right to movement so I can move and select at the same time wiimote+nunchuck style.

 

[Nanashrew]

I think this is the first time I've seen this monster.

 

[threelights]

Video looks great, so does Space Dunban (damnit, that's how I wanted my character to look, now I'll have to be original).

Monsters look pretty big too, hopefully the attacking individual parts of the body thing works for every big enemy.

 

[random25]

Douglass looks like the new Reyn, minus the goofy side. Or so I think.

Lao looks badass. Worthy of being Space Dunban lol.

 

[Lilo_D]

Dat landscape at 50s!!

Yeah, and for the two new characters.

This game is getting me so hyped!

That view at :50 looks amazing. It goes by quick but the spot with the moon in the background behind the ruined rings.

I hope there are some snow effects in the game.

 

[Nanashrew]

Seeing things like this makes me want the game even more so I can take screenshots of everything! Gonna make up for all the times I couldn't do that in the original Xenoblade on Wii!

EDIT: It seems we were all thinking the same thing!

Just wait till they get naked...or can they?

Swimsuits have been confirmed for the avatar, I imagine you can do the same for the rest of the party.

Not Space Dunban serving Raiden MGS2 realness...

I now want to create my main character with the likeness of Snake =^/

I dunno.... that monsters looks familiar to me.

finally sexy asian Dunban has a name and it's a great one. <3

love Douglass too

 

[random25]

Just reading the Google "translate" of the short story, and there was a mention of the word Homuhomu (could be Hom-hom). Are they hinting at something?

 

[alvis.exe]

Space Dunban is voiced by Hughes from FMA!

And Rikiya Koyama for Douglas!

Damn Lao had better stick around for the entire duration of the game. I know who I'm keeping in my party lol.

 

[Nanashrew]

Dude looks like he's wearing a biker helmet.

YouTube compression sucks.

 

[Lilo_D]

Also near 1:00 you can see the enemy mechs

 

[Hours Left]

Y'all, it's Douglas with one "s". ;3

 

[Kissenkopf]

Douglas armor is freaking awesome! Hope you can wear it as player too.
