Xenoblade Chronicles X: April 10th Doll Presentation [up: video with subtitles]
- Thread starter L~A
- Start date
Yeah, this decided my Wii U purchase when it was revealed - I mean, there were other games I knew I'd enjoy (like 3D World and Mario Kart 8, the eventual Zelda, etc.), but this one sealed the deal. Hard to believe it's been over 2 years since this was first revealed in January 2013 - seems to have gone by quickly.
And I thought they used certain map and special functions on the Gamepad? Though I guess those could be optional and you can just use a Pro Controller instead.

Oh snap, you can use the classic pro controller? Awesome news.
So hype. The Dolls look completely amazing. Some of the monsters are just jaw-dropping. Not sure if I'll make use of the multiplayer, but I'm happy that it's there and optional.
Like someone else earlier, I'm trying to finish up Xenoblade relatively fast before this gets out. I
About how much is left assuming I don't do too many sidequests?

just got to Mechonis and was told to kill Egil.
LOL, did you get around to trying Majora's Mask 3D?I think there will be customization options that will allow you to refuel quickly. If you look at this https://youtu.be/kQ39fImCKz8?t=11m15s you can see the Doll fuel actually go up upon firing.
Oh andhey bro, how you been
Last few months for me have been MM3D, and then RER2, and now Bloodborne, and soon the MK8/SSB DLC. So good.
That was fast, even if it's just a part of the video, awesome!

No. Look at it again. There's a dot. When there's no dot that means "nu-uh!"
We don't know.

You're in the home stretch. Last 15-20% or so. Maybe a bit less, depending on where you are exactly.

Boo. I guess I'm going to have to get a Pro controller. Hopefully there will be a bundle with the game and the controller.
Thanks. Looks like I might be able to take my time a little to build up Colony 6 more.
I hope Zelda tries to match this. Maybe not in scale (Zelda's world will undoubtedly be smaller), but in the amount of features it exciting stuff coming from it.
Amazing write up on online.

Pro Controller is infinitely better anyway. The battery life alone. Nevermind the ergonomics.

"NINTENDO DEFENSE FORCE ENGAGE TARGET!...
...You were saying?"

Dude I want to soooo bad but I've been helping my mom get a mortgage and have kind of had to put off buying new games for the past couple of months. Not that I mind, I'm fortunate to only be 24 years old yet able to support my mom with something like this. I am currently playing a game I've had in my backlog for quite some time. I've PM'd you about it since I don't want to derail the thread

Alright I think I came up with a cool boss fight idea.
So we know that dolls don't operate under EM storm, we have a weather controlling enemy that induces the weather by calling out.
Start the battle in a doll, after a while, enemy summons the EM storm, forcing your squad to disembark. During this phase, you have to "part break" the part that is responsible for the induction of the EM storm to disable it. Then you go back into doll battle phase.
I'd like to see more toying with boss fights like this similar to how the final boss of Mechonis Field in Xenoblade used those cover plates.
Also, did we get confirmation that Dolls can part break the enemy?

Just found time to watch the video. It was amazing. Can't wait for the post your Doll thread. I'll probably have a main doll, but if I ever get extra cash in game I might dick around making more that are useful for different purposes, or possibly even just try to make some really cool looking ones
Dude, prepare to be blown away.
I think they can only "lock" it (the purple sphere in the video).

I thought they said that Dolls can't part break enemies unlike humans, which was to make it so there are some advantages to fighting outside the doll. Although maybe certain gigantic enemies could be an exception
Pretty sure one of the first trailers showed a Doll cutting off a monsters tail or arm or something
Has this been posted yet? Siliconera has an awesome overview on how the online works.

Yep, but not only. MH3U, Bayo 2, Zelda U and the backwards compability were reasons just as equal ^^

A PSP port just sold a million copies because of a demo for an upcoming game. Don't know how Persona 5 will break, but I'm guessing PS4 sales won't be a slouch there.
I've not really seen any indication the JRPG audience is on the Wii U. I haven't seen any indication there's an audience for anything besides established Nintendo characters on the Wii U, so Xenoblade X's screwed in a few ways here.

Going to make a squad with gaf. I'll probably try to be generous with the gift feature and put stuff up that I don't need all the time. It's cool that it's put into a pot, where players can mark if they want it and then it's given at random between interested parties. Better for forum squads like I'll join than give directly to one person, or give completely at random

Holy shit, wha.I know we're supposed to be focused on the mechs but did anyone else see that move Lyn did were she tore a hole in the fabric of reality.
Lyn OP confirmed pls nerf
They're jumping at conclusion WITHOUT reading anything.
If they read, they will know that the co-op is only for missions named Squad but you can still do them in solo.
Internet is crazy most of the time lol. It's only the first time they tackled the multiplayer aspect of the game in 3 videos, and it's like only less than half of the last video presentation.

A lot of people do want to jump to conclusion so that they don't feel the need to get this game because d'oh Nintendo...

Totally understand. And I see you're currently playing one of the greatest games of all time, which is quite exciting.Dude I want to soooo bad but I've been helping my mom get a mortgage and have kind of had to put off buying new games for the past couple of months.

We Macross fans should stick together.
Gundam Epyon for me.
I think you can do both.
Phantasy Star online 2 had the same features : recruiting your friend bot/AI or play with your riend when he is online.
But you can only play together when doing missions named : squad.
Squad missions are mission that only your guildmates will be allowed to do, it seems.
A guild can have max 32 members.
Still, I will wait for the full translated video before saying anyhting else.
