ITS HAPPENING I KNEW IT

 

[RPGCrazied]

Amazon tab is open, just need a link.. or gamestop maybe?

 

[varkuriru]

Hmm.... any preorders up for the LE? I am IN. Interesting about the digital soundtrack in a USB key.

 

[Velcro Fly]

Best Buy pls for that sweet GCU

and now I won't want to leave my computer all evening just to get one

 

[Eolz]

Another, better pic from Nintendo Everything:

artbook is 100+ pages, it's not a poster but a matte card, and the usb key has 10 tracks (good thing I have my OST from japan )

 

[threelights]

That LE though. Is that a USB stick? Looks great!

i think the race concept arts are in the jp limited edition artbook

Oh, that's nice. I like seeing stuff like that.

 

[paolo11]

Xenoblade was localized by NOE, had different themes and characters, and was getting a lot less attention/support. This why this is worrying.



That's the good thing about an RPG, you can choose to not use those costumes.
I can't understand why people would be happy about censorship...

congrats NA, you're getting a better Nintendo LE this time

Is it available in Amazon or Gamestop?

 

[RPGCrazied]

That LE though. Is that a USB stick? Looks great!



Oh, that's nice. I like seeing stuff like that.

Yeah, has the soundtrack on it too. And it looks like a hardcover 200 page artbook with slipcover and a matte print?

 

[Fandangox]

100 pages artbook is all I needed, I am a sucker for anything artwork.

Digital ost USB looks nice.

 

[Ninjimbo]

You are the worst kind of person.

Deep down inside your pleasant little soul, you like him too.

 

[NotLiquid]

Better angle.

Is Europe getting an LE? Forgot if that was announced.

EDIT: EU's LE in comparison
http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/08...chronicles-x-gets-two-limited-edition-bundles

If you already own the console, then there’s also a limited edition Xenoblade pack which contains the game, a steelbook cover, the above-mentioned world map poster and artbook, and a cover art poster.

 

[Ridley327]

Better angle.

Is Europe getting an LE? Forgot if that was announced.

Yeah, they are. I forget what's in it, but it looked like it was all fitted to fit in a game case-sized package.

EDIT: Here we go

 

[RPGCrazied]

Better angle.

Is Europe getting an LE? Forgot if that was announced.

Aw, 100 pages, and 10 songs. lol

I still want that usb drive though.

 

[kuroneko0509]

Better angle.

yep... minus the artprint and custom usb, add world map poster & steelbook iirc

 

[threelights]

Neat. Hopefully they put in the best tracks there, since there's only 10 =X

100 pages artbook is all I needed, I am sucked for anything artwork.

Yup.

That goes double for RPGs.

 

[EndlessSky]

I LOVE the idea of a digital version of the OST on a usb. I don;t have a way to play CD's anymore, plus the usb looks cool. Hope more companies do this.

 

[NotLiquid]

That's... not too bad I guess? I kinda prefer the EU Limited Edition, even though it's a nice touch that US is getting music on a USB.

 

[RPGCrazied]

How big is the drive you think?

Yeah, EU gets a steelbook. Really wanted that, oh well.

How much can you say this will be?

 

[Almond]

Doesn't really confirm anything, some of the armors are no worse than Cia's outfit in Hyrule Warriors and that was just let off with suggestive themes which XCX has in it's rating. With that said, I wouldn't mind if all they did was edit some of the more revealing outfits. I'd have an issue if they just outright removed them without putting anything in their place. At the end of the day they are all optional.

That's what I was wondering, if it would fall under something else. I wasn't sure.



Now I need, need, need that limited edition. Please hurry up Nintendo.

[Eolz]

Hmmm, in the end, if the artbook is the same for both regions, I prefer the EU version.
The USB key is cool, but a map and steelbook are cool too.

 

[Tempy]

Damn, I like that custom USB. Will have to settle for Europe's LE though.

 

[tbd]

I'm all for censoring Lyn's outfits.

Indeed, don't let the customer decide which costumes he wants to give his video game characters and which he doesn't want to give them. And bikinis are evil.

Better get rid of all the fun Toriyamal-esque costumes, it's not like unlocking additional costumes is one of the most motivating thing in this kind of games.

Sounds about right, yes.

No, it's not one of the most motivating things in these games.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Art card will be awesome to frame.

 

[E_Darkness]

I hope we get a picture of the EU version soon. I just hope the steelbook uses this art:

 

[Eolz]

Art card will be awesome to frame.

Wonder which size it will be. They chose one of the best art pieces to be on it, same for the artbook cover, looks great.

edit: I think the Steelbook will just be the regular cover without all the logos tbh.

 

[tbd]

No, it's not one of the most motivating things in these games.

Maybe not for you but for million other people. For example, people that played DQIX for like 500 hours.

And no, nothing about this sounds right.

 

[RPGCrazied]

If this is $99, I'm out.

Please no.

 

[kuroneko0509]

honestly i would prefer if they use this

or this

If this is $99, I'm out.

Please no.

$89.99

 

[Ridley327]

If this is $99, I'm out.

Please no.

Your name is RPGCrazied, and $99 is too rich for your blood? Some fan you are!

I have to say that the art for the art card reminds me of the key art for an 80s Saturday morning cartoon series, and that's a good thing.

 

[Kriken]

If this is $99, I'm out.

Please no.

$99 would be ridiculous, the WW and Majora's Mask LE were $10 more than standard iirc and they had statues, I expect $70, $80 max

$89.99

was that actually confirmed?

Edit: That better be one good artbook

 

[RPGCrazied]

Your name is RPGCrazied, and $99 is too rich for your blood? Some fan you are!

Lol, no. I'm getting the $130 ToZ CE, stuff in Nov too. I got to eat ya know.

 

[Eolz]

If this is $99, I'm out.

Please no.

It's 90$.
Don't know which price you were expecting with all of that tbh.

http://nintendoeverything.com/xenoblade-chronicles-x-north-american-special-edition-revealed/

Update: Added in a better image. Official announcement is after the break. The package will cost $89.99.

 

[TheGreatLugia]

Where was the price confirmed?

 

[Nanashrew]

Where was the price confirmed?

Nintendo Everything.

http://nintendoeverything.com/xenoblade-chronicles-x-north-american-special-edition-revealed/

 

[RPGCrazied]

I'll do $90. I guess... its xenoblade though. Ramen that week.

 

[Zemm]

For male protag:
Troy Baker
Johnny Yong Bosch
Yuri Lowenthall
Adam Howden
Liam O' Brien

For female protag:
Laura Bailey
Michelle Ruff
Jennifer Hale

I can dream, can't I? ;_;

Ugh please no. I'm fed up of hearing the same 5-10 voice actors in almost every big game, is the talent pool really that small? If I hear Troy Baker ever again it'll be too soon.

 

[ivysaur12]

Yup. In.

Where is our Xenoblade WiiU release, NOA?

 

[wrowa]

How was it rated in Japan?
This + 8-4 localizing it makes me fear more censorship than I hoped...

edit: (even if they're still good/great, not criticizing that, but them taking more liberties on the script those past few years and getting more associated with censored games than before too)
Did they finally confirm there will be dual dub btw?

That's not 8-4's call to make.

 

[CAAAAAAAAAAAW]

That USB stick looks pretty baller.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Watch it be only 4 gig. lol

 

[paolo11]

So is this available for preorder?

 

[Dark-VIII]

where can i Pre-order!

 

[Choppasmith]

Totally picking up that LE. If I can't, I'll just go digital.

Hope there's something about the voice acting at this panel.

 

[razgriz417]

gimme that special edition >.<

 

[dancrane212]

A CE with a decent sized art-book? Don't know if I want to switch my cheap order to this or not.

 

[Eolz]

That's not 8-4's call to make.

I know, but they can also argue about that (like XSEED does). And let's not say as if publishers were putting words in their mouth when they are localizing a game, and taking a lot more liberties over a script than other teams do.
Sorry about 8-4, but it's understandable to also put a bit of the blame on them when, since some years, they are linked to censored games, with memes and other weird script changes :/

edit just to be clear: 8-4 are awesome when they are taking the original script seriously and try to make the publisher understand that censorship isn't a good thing. Otherwise, it really can lead to some pretty cringeworthy dialogues.
I'm just hoping it's the former, since we won't really know anything until the game release.

 

[SmackAttack]

I want that LE. Will pre-order asap.

If Nintendo (outside of Japan) thinks that having a 14 year-old girl running around almost naked is creepy and something they don't want to see in their games, then that is just what it is. I think it's kind of silly to assume that a small localization company like 8-4 has the power to change stuff like that, especially when working together with a major publisher. Everything they change in Xenoblade X is something that more than likely would have been changed by Treehouse as well.
