Xenoblade Chronicles X

They might be able to get a pass on it. The term is pretty well known in the anime and manga circles or any circle dealing with Japanese media. It's a word that defines a common (at least in fiction) personality type and I can't really think of a good English alternative.

Yeah, in KI:U they were able to change Palutena's tsundere line to a cactus joke since she was talking about Viridi, but there really isn't a good English translation for it.. I mean, they never bothered to explain in Xenoblade why it was significant that Shulk's Monado had the "kami" symbol on it, or what any of the symbols on the Monado represented.

My guess is they'll keep the first line and just have him make a joke about trying to get a rise out of her.

Another option would be to replace the term with the term's definition. Or they could use Elbruno's suggestion because that would be hilarious.

Cacti: Prickly on the outside, quenchiest cactus juice on the inside.

So is that "300 hours" estimate a completionist playthrough, or is that just to get through the main story? Because I have never spent that much time on anything except Pokemon games, in that case most of it was postgame.

Completionist and the developers running around and testing everything to make sure everything works. Just getting through the main story and some sidequests will probably run you about 60-80 hours I imagine. I'm obviously just guessing, but there's no way the main story will take anywhere near that long.

Yeah, that's what I was hoping. 300 hours would be ridiculous.

My first playthrough of the first Xenoblade took me over 100 hours. It wasn't a completionist playthough, but I did quite a bit of questing. I enjoyed every minute of it, but I think that's about the upper limit for how much time I'm willing to spend getting though a game.

So, how do you think this will be compared to FF XV?

Probably better. I'm not sure what to expect from FFXV, but Monolith has an excellent track record. I'm fully expecting Xenoblade X to continue that.

That said, they'll probably be very different games despite the superficial similarities. I don't think it's fair to compare them, especially when neither of them is out.

Especially since one is an Action RPG and the other is more like FFXII but done right.

One is coming out soon. The other won't be out this year. They may both be big open-world RPG's, but there's not much reason to compare them.

Direct is about to start. Should be interesting even if you don't speak Japanese.

Character models still suck. Definitely still Xenoblade. Stuff like the Affinity System is back.

Lots of pretty places, you can sprint, and it seems one of the aliens that blew up Earth STILL has a hate boner for us.

Tell me what's in the trailer, I'm in school right now.

Since my understanding of Japanese is nowhere near good enough to translate what's being spoken, all I can tell you is what I said in my previous post. Well, that and we've seen two more alien races likely native to Mira.

Oh, and you have some kind of navigation device that probably shows you how to get to you next object or something. You can also launch a camera for an overhead view of your area.

There are 4 player online quests. 32 players for indirect online. Keyboard and Pro controller support are also confirmed.

Oh my Meyneth, it's AC: Unity all over again!

Also, those suburbs look like something you could put in a GTA game and no one would notice.

Keyboard support? That's a bit unusual.

YEAHHHHHH

Japan is getting a bundle. And the box art has been confirmed.◊

Fuck yeah, that's some awesome box art. Shame I'm getting it digitally to improve load times.
