So, so excited for this! The Hiroyuki Sawano music is fantastic though I hope ACE+ is doing some work for this game too. The graphics look a bit crummy at times, but the amazing thing about Xenoblade Chronicle on the Wii is that a lot of action and cut scenes were in-engine. I suspect that the slightly weak textures and models and such are in service of a massive, seamless world with dinosaurs and robots.Also, Nopon! The possibilities that represent!

The 2015 date is a bit sad. I wonder if the game with make it's Japanese 2014 date. I hope this is a Spring 2015 release at the latest. I want to play this so bad. Oh, hopefully another UK English dub like Xenoblade Chronicles.

As a military-grade nerd this might be the breaking point for me getting a Wuu.

Yup, this is a Xeno game in a way that preceding trailers didn't exactly showcase; I am definitely on board now.

Game devs really need to cut it out with target renders though. This looks perfectly fine to me (Xenosaga-esque in style), but the original trailers showed something that clearly wasn't possible on the hardware.

I'm moderately excited for this, but mostly I'll just buy it so I don't spend $120 for it like I did for Xenoblade Chronicles.

Hmm. Graphics look significantly worse than in previous trailers. I guess those were faked. Still excited for the game, but pretty bummed about the visuals--those other trailers were god damn gorgeous.

I quite hope that this game has English voice acting like the last one. I quite liked the British cast in Xenoblade.

Bleh, considering I wasn't too fond of the first, I think the Xenoblade name might be messing with my interest in this game. Hopefully it's good.

Well I'm pretty positive on the game, I'm not so positive about the name. Xenoblade Chronicles X just doesn't seem like a very good name for this game. Makes it seem like the 10th game in the series. I dunno, it just seems weird to me.

Loved the first Xenoblade, so really looking forward to this.
