I'd rather be Id but that's all semantics, isn't it?

JUST COME THE FUCK OUT ALREADY!

[Serra]

Fuuuuuckk.. Saw a terrifying looking giant spider in the back of one of those scenes..

Also, are there normal sized enemies in this world? >.>

[KuroTsuki]

Nice.

One thing I hope they add for this one is the ability to turn the BGM up and Sound down. After a while I like to say fuck it to the sound and blast the music if the soundtrack is good enough. There were so many times in Xenoblade that i wanted to do this. Especially with that soundtrack.

Quest fodder, low level or died in the first game.

Needs a translated version.

So, I haven't played the first Xenoblade, or a Monster Hunter, but this seems like it's a high-tech version of monster hunter, with a Final Fantasy like story to experience. Would that be an accurate view?

– Last time, we introduced Planet Mira. This time, we’ll explain the battle system. Tatsu can’t battle, so has to stay at home.
– You’d be in trouble without Tatsu. Need info? Ask him. You won’t get any info without him. He’ll keep things going smoothly.
– Now introducing beasts near NLA (New Los Angeles). Switch between sword and gun for simple attacks, activated by auto attack.
– More advanced techniques are called arts. They’re categorized into fighting, shooting, support, and weakening arts.
– Be careful when using arts: you have to wait a certain amount of time before you’re allowed to recast the same art.
– It’s important to balance usage of auto attack and arts. Soul Voice lets you communicate with your party to use specified arts.
– Soul Voice settings let you plan out strategies in advance of battle. The characters will use the ones you select
– Combos increase damage. Learn arts to generate combos. Doing a combo will let you deal 1.5x damage. Hit from behind.
– Shooting from above or below will increase your accuracy. You can target parts of an enemy to break defenses piece by piece.
– Double recast, waiting for the recast meter to refill a second time after becoming available again, will boost arts strength.
– You can bring your fallen party members back by resuscitating them. You can use auto attack while waiting for double recast.
– Overclock Gear reduces recast waiting times. Using the same arts consecutively ups damage. Triple recast is stronger still.
– Enemy Icons display their level, other info. An eye indicates visual search. A bolt means seismic sensitivity (tread lightly).
– Enemies with a circle around the eye icon hunt in packs, and will call others when they see you.
– Equipment. Weapons come in melee and shooting varieties. Armor: helmets, body armor, left arm, right arm, and leg armor.
– As you use weapons and armor, the supplying company will develop new equipment products for you.
– Equipment slots allow you to customize your weapons and armor with stat-modifying items.
– Leveling up. Gain experience not just from battle, but by finding treasure, etc. Unlocked the arts in your class to open more.
– Choose which class and set of arts to unlock and change to.
– You can form teams of 4 characters. Here’s Ilina. Guin has youthful strength. Doug uses heavy equipment, and is kind.
– This is Lao. Many characters will surprise you with what they bring to battles.
– How are you supposed to fight this big robot? Use your battle skills to win. There’s another weapon at your disposal: dolls.
– Next presentation will be about Dolls

not much like Monster Hunter - the battle system is more MMO-like (pick a target, auto-attack, your abilities are all on cool-downs), as are the quests (kill so many of this, grab this item, find this other item, etc.)

the only thing that's Monster Hunter-esque are the huge areas with plenty of places to explore, although even so they're not broken up the way Monster Hunter's areas are.

Reminds me A LOT of PSO, which isnt a bad thing.

[Ratatapa]

Xenoblade X will also have paid DLC and JP fans are not happy

[Ratatapa]

You will unlock the "Glamor" system after completing the game

Seems silly to not have that available until after beating the game.
