The World Map will be Five Times as big as Xenoblade Chronicles' Map

The world map for Xenoblade Chronicles X will be more than five times bigger than that of Xenoblade Chronicles.

Speaking to this month’s Edge magazine, Monolith Soft president Tetsuya Takahashi said, “Vehicles are called Dolls. They are five times larger than a person. So to get the same feel as Xenoblade Chronicles, the map would need to be five times bigger. The game world in X is in fact even bigger than that.”

Well I hope we will get some means of fast travel through that then :O

**Tyrath** · 2014-08-26 12:35

Xenoblade had it, I don't see why this wouldn't.

**Gokulo** · 2014-08-26 12:40

Yeah yeah, I didn't mean the teleport (although I did forget about that), but maybe being able to get around fast in Dolls.

In Xenoblade, wasn't it just click on one of the many landmarks and warp there?

I think so.

one of the many games I need to actually beat.

I need to finish Xenoblade as well.

But I don't want to.

In fact I deliberately stopped playing it because I don't want the journey to end.

..Reallllllllllly need to stop doing that with games. Especially when the logic then goes "Oh, let me finish this game I'll like less instead" (looking at you, Agarest).

Do it for her. Do it for Yoko Shimomura

So yea, the fanboy in me kicked in with the map and mech size comments.

Gears in Xenogears were in the 45-55 feet range if I remember. E.S.'s in Saga 2/3 were about the same, but I can't seem to find specific heights for those. Dolls seems to be slightly taller than A.G.W.S. from Saga 1 but not quite as tall as a Gear/E.S.. Bummer.

Still though, 5 times the world size of Xenoblade. Thats frickin crazy. Unless theres a lot of empty space a la Zelda: Twilight Princess, this game could be HUGE.

The second area in xenoblade, the big open field one, was really well done and fun to explore. If this has more areas like that it's going to be terrific.

**Serra** · 2014-08-27 13:21

The areas inside the mechonis were some of the best, imo (especially the music). I'd love for areas that were five times as large as those.

I loved that area..

Ohhh secret path, what could be at the end? ooo prett... WHat's that?! DEAD

The fact Monolith Soft is now a first-party developer for Nintendo brings me great joy over this news, ironically enough. Had this been third-party Takahashi I wouldn't be able to face palm hard enough over the five times larger comment. Can't wait for this fucking game!

UI will be more "user-friendly"

Xenoblade Chronicles X for Wii U will be a more “user-friendly experience” than Xenoblade in terms of quests, developer Monolith Soft have said to the U.K.’s Edge magazine.

Quests in Xenoblade involved a quest log (pictured above) that could be rather long and intimidating, and executive producer Tetsuya Takahashi says that the goal with Xenoblade Chronicles X is to try and convey that information in a better way.

Takahashi said that “objectives and relevant people will be displayed on the map” and that Monolith Soft are implementing “a number of other features to help with quests” as well.

Jeez, xenoblade was already so huge.

**Serra** · 2014-08-28 14:14

Finding gear and items really interupted with the flow of the game, right?

The Gamepad will act as a Navigation device

Speaking with Edge magazine, Xenoblade Chronicles X executive producer Tetsuya Takahashi touched upon how the RPG will make use of the Wii U GamePad.

“We decided that it would be perfect to use as a navigation device, in the same way that a lot of tablet computers are,” Takahashi said, according to a quote pulled by Nintendo Everything.

“We’ve put some important features relating to the game system and your objectives onto the GamePad, so I feel that this should create a very user-friendly experience for players.”

It appears that Takahashi did not specify whether or not you would be able to play Xenoblade Chronicles X using Off-TV Play with the GamePad. Hopefully, that’s a feature the team doesn’t neglect to include.

Why does the title now say N3DS? The game coming to the 3DS is a port of the original Xenoblade, not the new one (X)?

The port (Xenoblade) is coming to N3DS, not 3DS.
