Think I'll get the controller

but WTF is up with the VA?

 

[ecosse_011172]

Voice acting is really really shit.

Sounds better than Zelda to me.

/Shrugs

 

[bahamut zero]

It will probably still get delayed, dates printed on promo material mean nothing ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

 

[Chaos17]

The world looks amazing, each city was different and so cool. Please Nintendo give me an option to change the look of the hero lol
edit: and dual audio, please.

 

[Seik]

I WAS RIGHT TO HAVE FAITH.

PARTYYYYY!!!

Lol

 

[J@hranimo]

This isn't surprising. They've reiterated 2017 many times and there's been no proof of a delay.

 

[Reki]

Is there a link to the XB2 part of the presentation yet.

Nintendo UK.

 

[FutureLarking]

but WTF is up with the VA?

For a change, not everyone on the fictional planet has some strange American based accent. The horror!

(Considering I know people with most of these accents... it's all good They all sound authentic.)

Check the OP

 

[Shahadan]

Pro Controller is ugly as sin

NA gets the better packaging instead of us. ;(
We supported Xenoblade here before it was cool

 

[Alexander DeLarge]

Really? I just did one for Yakuza 6 like two weeks ago. The Y6 CE is $89 & I only had to pay $76 with Prime.

Fortunately that was the exception because they didn't consider it a collector's edition for whatever reason. Maybe this will get it too.

 

[woopWOOP]

Having the old timey Titan narrate the whole thing was so damn goofy

Battle system looks complicated, but neat.

 

[deadfolk]

I really hope there will be an option to mute the VA and have subs, or this could be the first game I actually skip due to the voices.

 

[Kaizer]

It's very random. They don't officially give discounts on limited editions any more, but some games slip through the cracks.

Huh, that's sucky, but regardless - will definitely preorder as soon as it's up on Amazon.

 

[chrisPjelly]

The talking dragon is adorable.The titan lore and new mechanics looks great! It's too bad I genuinely think the game looks bad. The anime art clashes HORRIBLY with the art of the scenery, townfolk, and older folk.

 

[Aleh]

So much crow to serve now

 

[The Xtortionist]

this year is ridiculous

 

[BorkBork]

Yeah that's my reaction. I was resigned not to get the game due to the character art, but now the world looks completely different and awesome. Confused now...

 

[X2X0]

Europe:

Different design and seems like a different artbook? 220 vs 200 pages, hardcover vs softcover.

Jesus Nintendo, just release on good version for all.

My god, its beautiful!
Way better than NA's. But I'm definitely getting both versions, can't stand not having them both.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Nooo, I have no clue when I will be getting a switch, probably won't be able to day 1 this.

Its Xenoblade Chronicles all over again, lol

 

[knkng]

Oh shit, that controller. It feels like a waste of money since I've already got a pro controller... but this one has pink grips! Damn it, I'm gonna end up buying it.

 

[Nairume]

It will probably still get delayed, dates printed on promo material mean nothing ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

At this point, I'm expecting on December 2, 2017

It will probably still get delayed, copies being out in stories and people playing it right now mean nothing ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

 

[MetatronM]

I doubted. Didn't think there was a chance of this launching this year.

I still won't believe it until it's in my hands.

 

[tiebreaker]

Controller looks like trash. Will get the collector'S edition though. The artbook will be glorious.

 

[Fleet_of_Foot]

Am I alone in thinking it looked very, very, extremely boring?

 

[Maxinas]

I think most of the VA so far sound fine. ¯\_(&#12484_/¯, sue me.

Edit: Where the fuck is that special edition amazon link.

 

[Spyder_Monkey]

Unless production is just a mess this late into the stage, then it's not getting delayed.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Loved the trailer, the voice acting seems a bit ho hum this time, but it'll do.

 

[Fou-Lu]

Am I alone in thinking it looked very, very, extremely boring?

Yes you are utterly and completely alone.

 

[nelo_inc]

The collectors edition is too good to let it pass, much better than that of Xenoblade X.

 

[Shahadan]

Am I alone in thinking it looked very, very, extremely boring?

It's normal

 

[Flying Toaster]

I dont need another pro controller but its Xenoblade and it looks cool so bought! I did like what they showed so that is a positive.

 

[-shadow-]

Think I'll get the controller

but WTF is up with the VA?

Yeah I'm rather surprised by it honestly, mostly because: the original, The Last Story and Pandora's Tower being so excellent. All done by NOE :/

 

[ZenTzen]

Looked great, environments look awesome, and that skies of arcadia kinda similar world is getting me all giddy inside

barring the only kids MCs, and 1 or 2 character designs, which i attribute more to their clothing, I assume we can change their clothes like in previous Xenoblades

 

[jj984jj]

Looking at the comments the game gets you'd think it was.

 

[Jim_Cacher]

That blonde and Pyra is on the boxart. So.... Rex has two special blades?

 

[nelo_inc]

Will it get Japanese audio on Europe?

 

[bizzarewars]

A little worried about the voice acting, but like every other Xenoblade game I'll be there day 1.

 

[Ahnez]

I want this so much

 

[radio_apeshot]

Right on my birthday.

Good stuff.

 

[Scrawnton]

Switch gets Breath of the Wild, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Splatoon 2, Mario X Rabbids, Mario Odyssey, and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 all in one calendar year.

That's pretty damn good (even if 8 Deluxe is a spruced-up port).

Yeha but they didn't announce new first party games today so Nintendo is the worst amirite?

 

[silva1991]

Personally, nothing from the new trailer changed my mind about Xenoblade 2. And there's some serious awful VA, step down from the first game.

Same and I didn't hate the VA even. I get tales vibe from the game instead of Xenoblade mostly because how the characters look.

The humans and other living creatures live on a giant moving creature is straight out of the original Xenoblade and makes the story sounds far less exciting to me

 

[DrForester]

I still won't believe it until it's in my hands.

When was the last time Nintendo delayed something with an actual date?

 

[UnlimitedRulebook]

If the past two games are any indication, I guess we can expect no dual audio with this one?

 

[Kaizer]

US Special Edition:

EU Special Edition:

I think both the artworks on the US & EU Boxes are good, digging the more colorful US version though.

 

[KingSnake]

The worlds are wonderful. But the characters, the voices, that glimpse at the story and the fights that looks just as boring every time they show them makes me skip the day 1 train. Maybe sometimes in the spring if the spring will be as barren as might be.

I'll probably get that pro controller though.

 

[ASaiyan]

Well, I'll be. I didn't think they'd pull it off. Good job.

Framerate does not look great running around with lots of enemies on screen though.

 

[Huntersknoll]

Nintendo has their sit together for the Switch. I honestly was thinking this would be holiday next year

 

[Maxinas]

American Special Edition:

EU Special Edition:

Wow. The NA version is actually the better version. I'll take it.
