Yes.

I'm joking obviously, the fact that you will be able to see the whole world in the sky is gonna be insane. Takahashi never disappoints when it comes to world design.

Definitely using the extra horsepower that Switch 2 has over Switch 1 so I get why this is coming out in 2027

 

[PeteBull]

That's Harry Potter.

Thats what im not liking, all the female protag being mage aprentiece in mage academy so basically early stage of the game, dunno if it will be first 10 or maybe even 20h, would much rather get "standard" male protag with big sword or at least fist fighter.
And u can tell right away character designer is a woman coz all characters got 0 testosterone in them..

Not at all impressed with the MC

 

[sigmaZ]

Yeah. I don't know. I'm ok with anime style, but these character look generic AF.
Also while the world design is not bad, the coloring and quality of some of those background assets is a bit lackluster.
The indoor and green areas look fine, but the browner areas look like shite.

 

[Variahunter]

I honestly love the world, it seems it's just waiting for exploration.
I also like the lighting system, it's not as evolved as RTGI obviously, but it's well done and a good evolution compared to previous episodes.

So far, I just don't like the school setting, characters and shonen style... which I admit is pretty important in a JRPG. The school uniform is basic andjust a trope in JRPG and anime, I always hated that. No charisma or originality.

 

[IAmRei]

I like it so far, the trailer was good and there is plenty of time to show off more. The game is probably not ready to be fully shown and with what they did show it is a nice teaser so us Xenoblade fans can be excited that Monolith is cooking up something new in the series. Real and gritty doesn't work for JRPGs just look how FFXVI turned out and how DQXII had to be restarted.

tbh, there are lot of gritty JRPG, you might need to explore more, not just what popular...

So a text filepath fumble in the trailer confirms this is Project Legacy, if you remember back when this concept art was shared.

Yeah, they're just slapping "Xenoblade" on the title to sell more copies.

It was probably a direct order from Nintendo.
Remember:

They forced Monolith to change "Monado" to Xenoblade in the first place.

[Doomtrain]

Why does that mean they're "slapping" the Xenoblade name on it? Games are developed under codenames all the time. With most professional games I've worked on, we don't even decide on a real title until a few years into development.

 

[Danjin44]

God I can't stop watching the trailer and over analyze everything and my hype grows every time I rewatch it.

I'm an industry analysis.
We have metrics to determine slapping.

 

[Myths]

Never played a single one of these games, but every time I see any of its entries the cover art just always seems the same — blue sky, clouds, some enigmatic thing in the back…

 

[MagiusNecros]

Makes sense given the scope and style is kinda familiar to all the placeholder art.

 

[Danjin44]

I would imagine the collectors edition for this game gonna be impossible to get.

We need a system where we can pre-order the pre-order.

I don't even think that make much difference, it still would sold out in instant.

 

[pulicat]

It seems the main characters will change their outfits as the story progresses, similar to Xenoblade 3, based on this picture.

Using AI to slop the front view.

 

[MR ARCADE FOREVER]

Seriously it looks just like Fire Emblem...

 

[KanKamAndNob]

We been through this almost every Xenoblade release….it has became like habit to some people here to automatically shit on any new JRPG comes and say it's "too anime".

I've always liked JRPG's and with Western games being what they are now, a game being called "anime" just piques my interest more lol.

That I can agree with. And like I said, I like anime weeb shit, but even I have to agree with the takes that the character design isn't the strongest.

Personally I like MC design because she gives me huge Revolutionary Girl Utena vibe and I like that show a lot.
