@@tylercoon1791 we've got ourselves a nice little trailer

I've never play a xenoblade before, and damn, I'm impressed of what I'm seeing here :s. That music 😲

@@libardomm.trasimaco They're all like this so if you like what you see here you'll definitely enjoy the series. If the music catches your attention imagine what it's like in pivotal scenes once you've grown to like the characters 😲

Yeah this game is going to break us isn’t it

@@funnynameforme4091 Oh you know it!

Weirdos 💀

@@hartfantom hypocrite

@@funnynameforme4091 so... It broke you, didn't it?

i hate it because i consider it "Animé-washing"

Yes even at the very end....in the theater there is very slight eye movement. Many of the masks at the beginning of the trailer only show the persons eyes and nothing else of their body.

what lol?

I imagine you must be staggered by the graphics on more powerful hardware then?

The OP is talking about the art direction obviously, something more important than pure fidelity. The eyes in this game DO look incredibly expressive, more than most games out there, and it's because of the superb art direction. That said, yes more powerful hardware can make it easier for an artistic vision to be realized.

I knew I would find this comment here. Can always count on Roger leaving a hype comment when Nintendo drops a hype reveal.

No it's not

@@ToadetteGamer2 that's your opinion

@@jonnybravo595 obviously, they said it

Not really, Final Fantasy VII Remake and all another beautiful. Xenoblade is just Xenoblade, the Title Screen is the same and all looks like the same. I was to try to play Xenoblade 2 and after 10 minutes i was completly tired from boring. Im dissapointed. But hey game isnt released yet but you can buy now a Expension Pass xD

It's insanely unreal how far we and Monolith themselves have come.

What do you mean by finishing the story he’s been trying to tell for 30 years? Out of all of his games, I’ve only played Xenoblade Chronicles Definite Edition so I don’t know if all the Xeno games are connected or not.

@@jlhalo hmm yeah is connected but also not that much. I wont say anymore, discover it yourself.

@@jlhalo -- takahashi has this massive 6 part story in his mind (think star wars) both xenogears and xenosaga were originally greenlighted to be told in its entirety but xenogears sequels were scrapped for business reasons. xenosaga was forced to cut down to 3 parts also for business reasons. because the people places and things in the gears and saga universes are owned by the respective copyright holders, the story had to be rewritten and told in slightly different ways each iteration. takahashi then released xenoblade chronicles 1. after nintendo saw the success of xc1, they greenlighted takahashi to tell this super massive story in its entirety. That's the jist of it. They're designed to be standalone games so you don't necessarily have to play one to enjoy the other. But definitely play XC2, torna, and future connected before xc3 if you can. Similar to MCU movies, experiencing the previous entries pays itself off in subsequent entries in small ways. the parallels aren't huge but it's nice to experience it when the parallels do show up enjoy the journey!

@@arjunaadjinna wow, thanks for such a detailed response. I really want to play Xenoblade Chronicles 3 because it looks so good but maybe I’ll hold off until I’m done with the others. Let me ask you, I don’t need to play xenogears or xenosaga, correct? Just the Xenoblade games?

It could be a timeloop or a cloning situation. The one Ouroboros guys says they can “simply grow more” soldiers.

@@starbitscg4563 at 2:40 we can clearly see a Cloning or Creation chamber (similar to the XCX lifehold core) with human bodies

A prequel I assume like Torna

@@starbitscg4563 Congrats you called it

Was he not able to before?

@@fictionarch he would get shafted for budget or games been canceled at square and when they had bandai publishing xenosaga. Nintendo has shown that they’ll give them the budget to finally get his story out that his been trying to do since xenogears.

And the fact that one of his game series has gotten so big that it can even get it's own nintendo direct is great to see. He has done such a great job on gears and saga and it's nice to see his work finally get the love it deserves now with blade.

True, but even so this new game does feature a twist and connection from both previous games which is kinda nice. I bet the story will be a little interesting then the second game.

It’s actually a reference to Xenogears, there are many scenes where the main villains watch the events of the game through a projector

This line captured the essence of war and ptsd. The delivery of this line was so emotional, and it was taken out of context for a trailer! This game is gonna be sick

Xenoblade soundtracks are criminally underrated

Anime style games like these are always so great these days comparing how much Xenoblade and Fire Emblem series has gotten much reception these days.

Everything about xenoblade, including the music, has so much heart and soul put into it. Every moment of the game is part of an incredible journey

@@sonicgalaxy27 you're comment is copy and paste for likes. Lame

Kept being told how good Xenoblades music is and have got to say was highly disappointed.its ok.

Not gonna lie, but Yasunori Mitsuda and other composers really out did themselves with the games soundtrack. I'm really gonna enjoy this game on my TV.

They can buy monolithsoft but not rare lol

im legit crying rn cuz i love both x1 and x2 so much. I have no doubt x3 is going to be phenomenal.

@Sage Ashy To someone who hasn't played the games before, I don't expect it to be. The salt due to XC getting a direct is real, lmfao.

Feeling what?

Ok Ryan, ya joker. But on a more serious note, does this trailer make the game seem like a mix of 1 and 2. The more serious sort of feel from 1. But the more layed back/cartoony personalities of 2? Or is that just me. Plus was that nopon talking with a deep voice?! I appreciate a change from them all being goofy but that voice is something else.

@@vegaa.1645 Ask Shulk

Nah they make a new series for it xenoblade warrior's or something

@@vegaa.1645 Aroused.

you should hear shulk's performance in 1, his va is 👌

@@pokeleoantiqua7326 no And my comment did not imply that

On one of the sides, at least. The other side is descended from the people of Xenoblade 1 (one character is at least part High Entia and another appears to be Machina) and I don’t remember seeing any Cores on them.

considering the statement one of the Ouroboros characters makes about being able to easily produce more soldiers and the fact that they're created already being ten years old, they're probably clones made using the DNA of past characters. I would also wager that the only ones whose data are re-used are those that survive their whole tenure and are soulsent by their respective Queen.

@@Highstar25 yo so Sena may literally be a descendant of Brighid and Morag.

@@thatnerdygaywerewolf9559 True, but even so this new game does feature a twist and connection from both previous games which is kinda nice. I bet the story will be a little interesting then the second game.

@@mioc7741 I would love for this to be true. Mostly for story reasons but also because it would make a lot of people in the US mald uncontrollably.

Chapter 5 flashbacks starts

Nice

Maybe Shulk "escaping the flow of fate" was actually fated to be the case (meaning he didn't actually escape it)

So everything shulk did was for nothing... This could be amazing if done well, or ruin xenoblade 1's story

It was awesome seeing it in the orchestra medley

applaud what

@@ratmgant "for the job they did" can't you read ?

???

I liked XC2 more, way better of a game, XC1 a clunky mess

@@partyendsat9235 both are great

TBH this feels like more of the same, and you can already see some anime tropes going on. The english voice acting made a bit of this cringy to watch, and my god, this english narrator, she just made it worst. People are afraid to expect more from a sequel and I understand, the fault likes on the Switch very limited capabilities, but still, in a lot of areas this doesn't feel like an evolution of the previous game. Story might actually manage to pull you in once you get into its pacing, but this story trailer didn't made much for me, it just felt like a repeat of previous entries formula.

@@Playcool18 I’m assuming you’ve changed your mind at this point bc this game throws away most tropes that were previously used in the series. That’s obvious even from the trailers, so idk where you got that idea from

nope

We can only hope so...

Sometimes I forget that Nopon can be older than they look.

I love my Heropons; they're just so damn awesome in battle!

That theory doesn't sound too far fetched actually. Mio has the flesh eater crystal but the flame haired girl has a solid blue crystal. I propose that they also incorporate pure blade technology in Agnes

EVERYONE A CLONE UPSET THE OUROBOROS GANG

One of Mr Wild Ride's friends aays they can always create more soldiers to feed off from, so I don't think it is so far fetched

Damn, so if everyone is a clone then that throws my theory of Noah being Shulk and Fiora’s son or descendant out the window. But now I’m wondering what could’ve led to them choosing to clone people in massive quantities. Some other comments are saying that this is akin to Xenogears and Saga (makes sense because every Xeno game is connected more or less) so for anyone else theorising like myself it might be time to delve into those games to find some answers.

But their ages were listed as all around eighteen though, which is confusing

@@justjoshing1771 They're created as ten-year-olds. Everyone is 18 and has around two years left, except for Mio who is 19 and only has months.

@@justjoshing1771 Probably because that’s their physical age (as opposed to chronological), with them being “born” as the equivalent to an eight year old. It would be hind of weird for them to be all listed as nine or ten.

@@justjoshing1771 Deceptive marketing until they reveal the reason? *Shrug*

A “term” is ten years, and your total lifespan is ten TERMS not ten YEARS. That’s why the van damn look alike says “That mark, late TENTH TERM huh?” It’s also why characters are listed as being 16, 18, 17 years old ect. I’m guessing each term can be cut short, fast forwarding you to towards your final term and thus your final death.

@@noponarchsage no, I think that line is from the cook in colony 4 when he’s talking to Mio and Sena after the group saves Ethel and the colony

I wonder if Alvis's "purpose" in a way was to simulate the ability to exist the passage of fate, given that he was instrumental in creating that universe

Missed opportunity to call it morbius and have the fusions be called morbs

Shulk didn’t exist outside of fate, neither did zanza or alvis, zanza believed they did but alvis tells him at the end that he doesn’t

@@perrydunetz882 They definitely did while Alvis was with them. At the end of the game Alvis tells Zanza that his power is limited by Providence nothing related to fate. Alvis is that providence, he controls the existence of gods by controlling the passage of fate as stated in Monado Archives, which also states that Alvis is the light that controls the future, there's also the descriptions of chapter 17 that says Zanza would have become the "omnipotent ruler" of the passage of fate if it wasnt for Shulk and that Alvis entrusted the fate of the world to Shulk, there's also Alvis saying that humans existing outside the passage of fate signified the beginning of the destruction of Zanza and Meyneth and literally the whole game is plagued with similar quotes. Now after Alvis left Shulk no longer exists outside it but he definitely did for some time.

The trope of one or more figures seeing events from a distance is a never not interesting concept Guilty Gear liked it so much three characters can do it

Give the first game a go first then as it's 1 of the most praised JRPGs of all time for a reason with the Switch version making it even better, as for 2... it exists I guess...

Play the games and make your own opinion. Both games are masterpieces and imo 2 is even better than 1. Seems like every new entry gets better and better

You probably won't need to play the last 2 to understand this one but it will help you understand things that they will reference. Also, once you play this game, I promise, you'll decide to play the other 2 anyway lol.

If you don't have time to play the other games you can jump straight to this one

V-jes Listen, I think you should take a step back and let OP see a wide range of opinions instead of trying to pretend you have any objective statements to make about 2. Especially because the combat works way better than how you described. I know the tutorials in 2 aren’t good, but there are people online who have made great explanations for the combat and once you master it it flows like a dream. As for the story? There couldn’t be anything more subjective so please do not mislead OP just because you didn’t like it. Every Xenoblade is worth playing. Deciding the best only matters if you only have time to play some but not all. But this is a series to take your time on.

He became the god himself

Then again, maybe it was Shulk's fate to escape fate. Oh wait...

Shulk made sure the world escaped its fate, but only for a little while. The villains in this game seems to share Zanza’s ideals of an eternally cycling world of death and resurrection.

Half of shulk seeing the future is Zanza feeding him visions. you know that right?
