I am not Jeff Zero but here have some Xenoblade information.
http://nintendoeverything.com/takahashi-on-xenoblade-2-visual-style-more-exploration-than-x-no-multiplayer-side-quests-more/ French website Gamekult recently published a new interview with Xenoblade Chronicles 2 director Tetsuya Takahashi. We’ve prepared a full translation of Gamekult’s interview. --- BK_Sheikah? More like BYIG_Sheikah. http://i.imgur.com/gw03gl7.png - Number of people that D'awwed: 101 ... Copied to Clipboard!

Does that mean the game will let you go anywhere you want to straightaway, or will the exploration be a bit more bounded, in the manner of the first game? And then there are a few more questions not directly related to the game at the end but I don't want to make a third post. --- BK_Sheikah?

Exploration will have an even more decisive role in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. how mnkboy907 posted... I, for one, like games when they are long (laughs). aww yeah I wish the interviewer followed up on the relationship/sidequest question though. The Affinity Quests of X were excellent but I'm not sure if they're still around based on that answer. Going back to Xenoblade's sidequest system would be a step back IMO. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? ... Copied to Clipboard!

It just says that they're trying to simplify the UI and control schemes.

TIME Magazine interview with Takahashi. Few selected quotes below.
TIME: I've been replaying Xenogears [a 1998 PlayStation game and Takahashi's first full directorial debut] and noticed that the memory cube icon for saving the game looks a bit like the Monado from Xenoblade Chronicles. It got me wondering if there's a visual motif you're carrying through these games. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

As you know, Xenoblade Chronicles X was designed as an open world, and above all we learned the cost of such a project (laughs) That's what I'm talking about mnkboy907 posted... In this one, it is more of an initiatory quest, and a coming-of-age story for Rex. Boooooring --- _foolmo_ 2 + 2 = 4 ... Copied to Clipboard!

Eh. X's problem is less any of that and more that it suffers from the classic Xeno problem of clearly needing more games to tell the complete story
like this is a game whose story desperately needs a sequel like imagine if xenosaga just ended at episode i (Edit: Er wait, did you play XS1? I thought you had just not the others, but now I'm not sure.) (which is why xenoblade getting a sequel instead kind of causes me to die inside) --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? ... Copied to Clipboard!

X's main story problem is that it's hard to really care or feel for the characters. Compare that to XC, where you're rooting for Shulk and Reyn from almost the very beginning.

I cared more about X's core group (Elma, Lin, Irina, Vandham) than Xenoblade's! Melia was the strongest of the main characters over there.

X's problem is less any of that and more that it suffers from the classic Xeno problem of clearly needing more games to tell the complete story Considering the larger scope and unanswered questions? It very obviously has more to tell. XC was designed to answer all its questions in that one game. XCX wasn't. Playtime has nothing to do with it, it was a different design decision.

xenoblade x had a fantastic story.
It was just also hampered by the god awful story surrounding the main characters. The real story is the tale of the day to day human/alien interactions in New LA. There's pages and pages of deep meaningful dialogue and it's very subtly put. Sadly, instead of following the interesting adventures of the different alien races, the story follows kos-mos 2, potato jokes, unimportant alien, and.... I literally can't remember the rest of the playable characters because they were so dull. --- werd ... Copied to Clipboard!

This game could legit be a GOTY nominee along with Breath of the Wild, Persona 5 and Super Mario Odyssey. Which means Nintendo has three big GOTY contenders this year which is ridiculous.
My only issues are that in my opinion, the art direction of the characters doesn't quite clash well with the world design and Rex seems kind of generic and boring. But I figure I'll get use to the former while Monolith Soft will prove me wrong with the later. --- Personal Favourite Video Games List: http://imgur.com/a/ZAjLM Joker/Queen Fan Art Collection: http://imgur.com/a/n5ohQ ...
