Guest artists for rare Blades? Gacha confirmed!!!!!!!
I really don't understand this decision. Hopefully it's super easy to get rare blades later on.
What's there not to understand? :lol

damn the UI looks horrible.
It's not a f2p game, why lock rare blades behind a system like this?
If at all, I can see them releasing a separate version for Japan. Fairly confident the West will get one version with all languages included. Text doesn't need much space and the only Western dub is the English one, anyway.
Of course there will be FIGS localisations, just no dubbing.
Because people like gambling? Not everyone does, but much like Sawano in Xenoblade X, we have to accept that sometimes Takahashi likes to have stuff in his games which are popular even if they are social ills!

I won't believe it until I'm holding the game in my hands.
Edit: I hope they have time to change the ui, it's taking up like three quarters of the screen

Sound selection CD, not OST? What does that mean exactly?
If there is it isn't talked about on the Italian e shop.
An ost would be something like 4-6 discs. This is 1 so you're getting a sample selection basically.

You'll get 10 or so of the most popular songs. Not the entire OST.
Just a few tracks instead of the entire soundtrack.

Okay, but there are only three Nintendo published games without full multi-5 language support in over a decade (and only one was English-only). All of them were niche third party games on Wii U. This is a major first party game on Switch. I don't believe for one second there won't be FIGS localisations.

It really, really, really does not, and I suspect the fact you're not anticipating/certain of it getting below 85 on MC confirms to me you're being deliberately hyperbolic and facetious.
But you're not the only one to be fair, despite the studios' pedigree.

Well damn, why does it have to be so difficult to get Nintendo sound tracks?
Once the game comes out someone will make a playlist of the entire OST on YouTube. That's probably the best we'll get, unfortunately.

I can't believe they pulled off a 2017 release
So awesome
So awesome
We can finally eat him, I think.

As others have said it's similar system to the previous two Xenoblade games.
Xenoblade Chronicles was critically acclaimed.
Xenoblade X reviewed ok, but suffered due to its lack of story.
This is the sequel to the original and has it's focus back on the story. Expect it to review well. Saying all of that though, if the game doesn't appeal to you now, it's ok. Xenoblade reviewed amazingly, doesn't mean I think it's great. I never finished it lol.
Tl;dr Don't wait for reviews to know it doesn't appeal to you.
The full soundtrack will almost certainly be released at some point.
This mean you don't give a damn about all those gorgeous sceneries and just be narrow minded about one thing ? /ok
You can look at my previous comments if you like. I've been hyped about this before. I recently played Star Ocean 3 though and that was literally the worst most crappy anime-style game I've ever played. This reminds me a lot of that.
Thank you! Ordered. This will not be german only box, right?
Going by the BotW CE, no, it's not going to be German only.
Completely in, love Takahashi and XBC.
Will have to wait though, i just recently bought a Switch so i have stuff to catch up first.
Only things worrying me are some of the designs (but then again clothes customizations is probably going to be in), random Blades and performance. The rest is already top tier.

I don't know how probable that is considering that we got another presentation without any mention of it.
It got a chuckle from me buddy.

Well colour me surprised I definitely thought the game would never come out in 2017.
I'm so excited for it, the Switch had an excellent year imho, the best first year for a new console.
Now, should I dust off my Wii U and beat Xenoblade Chronicles X (which I kind of gave up after 70 hours) before X2 ?

Amazon is Crazy with that prize. I got it for 85euro from gameware.at...

pre-ordered until the .fr goes live, it's always cheaper
thanks!
thanks!
Caved in for the SE as well.
Look, I thought the trailer looked like shit honestly, and I'm still not a fan of the lead characters' designs (I like the support cast enough though); the blades being always on-screen from what we know irks me quite a bit (soon there'll be as many characters on screen as there are in a regular FIFA match?) but Chronicles 1 just sells me that sequel so hard it's not even funny. The various factions' cultures and interests, the sea-of-clouds travel, the outlandish settings more than make up for Pyra's comically oversized breasts (Blade designer: "Look, it's the most powerful weapon we've ever created, we probably should give her a somewhat bimbo look, people need to feel like they're not threatened" #lore) and Diver-Boy's pants. It's the first game that makes me wish the Switch had more guts, but it's fine.
Also, sponge enemies were not that much of a bother to me in the first game, I think I just mind it when watching other people play more than when actually playing.
