DAY ONE FOR SURE!

I vote this thread to be the Hype Thread of Xenoblade when a release date is announced. The Last few Screens in the previous page looks AWESOME! and That Trailer that the first post made looked to just be only one part of the entire map. But still that's awesome!

LegatoSkyheart

I second that, but this thread needs a new title and needs updates!

Wow,that looked really good. Just hope there is alot to do in these huge worlds and they not barren. When I get a Wii, I will have to check this game out.

The only thing wrong here is that you don't already have a Wii. ;)
looks nice. but i dont get wats so mind blowing about itAndrovinus
There generally have been less open-world sensibilities in JRPGs, which is ironic given that Japanese products like Zelda and FF are what started the whole adventure-the-world thing to begin with. Monado looks like it's bringing that kind of old-school wide world-adventuring back to JRPGs and that's exciting enough.

I appreciate the fact that it is not straight up turned based. You can move around, it is fast paced and is sort of real time in a sense. Looks great. My most wanted Wii game right now.

Meh, am I the only one who remember larger worlds in a 90's game like Everquest? I swear, gamers are easy to impress these days.

Yeah, the art is good, and it does look pretty spiffy in general. I'm just finding it odd that people are getting excited about a technical feat (expansiveness) that was done over a decade ago. So don't get me wrong, there's a very real chance it'll be a great game, but... The expansiveness just doesn't get me all that excited.

They're not impressed on the just the Size of the World, They're Surprised on the Console that has the huge world.

Ah, I see. Though, the only reason console games don't quite often have *massive* worlds is because of the pursuit of the best looking graphics developers can manage. If developers devoted the resources currently placed into textures, character models, raw polygon count into raw scope, you'd see worlds that dwarf what we've come to accept as big on consoles. Pity people get so excited about pretty graphics, actually...

Sounds good. I figured the normal attacks were automated by looking at the video. Reminds me of Contact on the DS.

also it's #3 on the Famitsu Most Wanted list which is surprising to me considering it's a new IP. Hopefullythat means it'll sell pretty well.

Ok thunderdrone. I usually like your taste. Tats vs capcom is fun, silent hill shattered memories is fun and SMG 2 is well...awesome(well unless you like No MOre Heroes, in that case you get fail points for liking that piece of crap). But I'm banking on this being trash. It looks really really stupid :|

Believe it or not it really isnt as time consuming as one may think.

Once you know how everything works all you have to do is remember. Progression is up to you and maybe using a FAQ.

I hear this is nothing like BK though.

I really should buy De Blob :/

In fact, i'm looking back at alot of Wii games that i really want yet still dont own because i'm becoming rather uncomfortable with my ridiculously huge backlog.

I passed on TC and TC:NB so right now, i'm VERY curious about this game:
