neoELITE Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Rumour is that it might be around 50gig (and) rumours again are that it might not be a digital download OR (rumour has it) this might be an install from disc game meaning a change to the Wii U OS. Rumours only. http://mynintendonews.com/2015/01/29/xenoblade-chronicles-x-is-so-big-that-the-developers-thought-they-might-have-to-ship-it-on-two-discs/ To enjoy playing, the enormous seamless map must load quickly (which was achieved through the hard work of our programming division), but we had help from Nintendo proper implementing a further improvement to what we had. I believe we’re going to reveal the details of that on the official page in the future, but to people considering purchasing the packaged version of the game, as one of the game’s developers, I highly recommend you make use of this improvement. The rumours stem from 'this improvement' being a 'further improvement' from Nintendo. It might be a rumour stemmed from poor translation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiper Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Going on Nintendo's pedigree and the "I highly recommend you make use of this improvement" comment, this is CLEARLY going to be a RAM pack 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neoELITE Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 The loading times comment was the intriguing part - it's a problem for some games. The latest Disney Infinity game is ridiculously slow. If this had long loading times, in open world, it'd be horrible I've not played a JPRG since FFIV on the DS. I am really looking forward to playing this one as my next one. It'll probably take me two years to finish it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgraves Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I don't think that will require an OS change - Watch Dogs already does an install of sorts on the Wii U. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rgraves Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 More details coming out now - digital purchase and pre-load begins in about 30 minutes in Japan apparently! It's a 22.7GB download - not one for basic owners lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdn2 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 As much as I'm looking forward to Xenoblade Chronicles X, it doesn't seem anything remotely like No Mans Sky. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krenzler Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Looks wonderful but not sure I could stomach it all the way through with the original japanese voices (sorry) - hoping that the english translation will be a bit less "cute" and sprightly (though not too serious either). But the flora and fauna is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiper Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I know nothing about this series but it looks like the game everyone thinks no man's sky is going to be. That's funny, Xenoblade doesn't /look/ much like an exploratory, galacy-spanning space sim to me, nor does NMS look much like a grand-scale party-based JRPG. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dig Dug Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Just finished the 25 minute trailer. This is going to be the best JRPG ever. Too many things I want to talk about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Ben Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 The game I'd buy a WiiU for if it ever gets released over here. It is getting released over here....right?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dig Dug Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Put it this way, original Xenoblade Chronicles was a Europe and Japan exclusive before America kicked up a huge fuss about it. Xenoblade X is 100% coming out over here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retroguy Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I don't think I've ever wanted a game more than this one. If they get everything right from the original Xenoblade, but with robots and HD graphics, I'll be ecstatic. The combat was just amazing, probably the best of any RPG I've ever played- loads of depth, systems like aggroing, and flexibility to do things like choose between tanking with armour/health or dodging attacks. The icons at the bottom of the screen during the tiny little bit fighting in that trailer show a similar system, so it definitely bodes well.

revlob Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 The end of that previous trailer says the next one should be about combat, so I'm hoping for a lot of answered questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroguy Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Yeah me too. It worried me a little that we've seen so little combat footage so far, considering how close to the Japanese release we are, but I think it's just because they're drip-feeding info. That 25 minute trailer was actually pretty good, discussing a lot of things without spoiling too much content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyboard Koala Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 New character: Ru: Ru is an inventor and native from Thessia Mira, who makes his living by selling his inventions to Nopon and other native species. He has a very curious personality and feels close to the newly arrived humans. Ru also is very familiar with idioms for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefcha Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 The characters in this really do look and sound utterly terrible so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmo1990 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Got to agree, they do look terribly twee, especially the females and that egg creature.. They seem to have spent far more time on the environments and it shows. Everytime I see this I keep expecting to see stuff from Yusuke Kozaki, the guy who did the last fire emblem, but when I click the new screenshots I go, eurghhh! Still, I'm sure it'll play well.

Keyboard Koala Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 New characters: Doug: – Member of BLADE – Doug excels at all military skills, but is the most effective when it comes to piloting Dolls – Doug is easy to make fun of despite his stern looks – Often gets teased by Lyn whenever he messes up during Doll tests – Doug served under Elma in the Doll Squad back on Earth – Doll Squad: government spec-ops vehicular instructor corps – He has been friends with Lao since their days in the United States Army Lao: – One of BLADE’s team leaders – His combat ability and sense of judgment is said to have been well-noticed by Elma – Lao has a sensitive side in spite of his looks, speech, and overall cool image – Passionate man deep down to his heart – Lao has been friends with Doug since their days in the United States Army Seems like it's 1990s-stereotypical-RPG-characters time again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
