Well my jaw hit the floor watching that. I really hope you can customize your character's attire to the extent that you could in Xenoblade, because just from that trailer the lead looks kinda dull compared to, well, any of the characters in Xenoblade. I do like that fighting giant monsters features prominently in that trailer though.

You know, I wasn't planning to buy a Wii U. But this. Oh my loving god this. The moment that mech took off into the sky, I was sold.

Thundarr posted:Well poo poo, guess I'm gonna buy a Wii U. Hopefully something else comes out for that system that is also worth buying. Considering I just rolled over 101 hours in Xenoblade and am not anywhere near done the poo poo I want to do before beating it, I'm not concerned about dropping the cash on a WiiU for just this game. Hopefully by the time its released I'd be able to afford it

SMT X Fire Emblem was nothing more than announcement and a montage of prior concept art from both series, but they said that "We are working with many more partners for future collaboration titles".

Strange Matter posted:Yeah I'm in a position where I'm at the cusp of the endgame, and part of me wants to just finish it because I don't have nearly as much time for gaming as I did when I bought it, but the other part is like look at all that content you need to do you can't just leave it there! You should go ahead and beat it now - it's more fun to do the higher level stuff later since otherwise the final boss will be laughably easy.

Strange Matter posted:Well it's not just fighting those monsters, it's doing stuff like rebuilding Colony 6 (which I can't even do 100% because I don't have enough Lewisia Silver and that area is cut off now, along with the NPC who you can trade with for the stuff). There's so much content that I could spend another ten hours just dicking around before I even touch the endgame. No no, and if you're only at 73 I think you're a little bit farther from the end than you think. But try to fight the final boss at around level 81 for the best experience.

Hopefully this time they're able to make a game that has lots of stuff to do while also having some kind of difficulty balance where the decisions you make in the battle system feel meaningful instead of just repeating the same sequence of moves over and over.

Mak0rz posted:I'd be willing to do this if New Game+ carried over affinity information Well what I meant was to make a separate save file at the point of no-return so that you can beat the boss while still at a reasonable level, then go back and complete endgame stuff and beat the boss again if you care about New Game+. You really shouldn't fight the final boss at max level for the first time because what kind of end to the game would that be?

An ingame info box pops up and says YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SAVE AFTER THIS POINT. DO YOU WANT TO CONTINUE? So yeah it's pretty obvious.

I just hope NG+ isn't redundant this time around and actually do something cool like having every enemy/boss be level 99+. I was on the fence on getting a Wiiu but with this, MH3U and Bayonetta 2 makes it mandatory for me.

I'm dilly dallying around before I pull the trigger on that. That's what I figured. Mild spoilers about what's still to come - There are still 2 full dungeon type areas to go before the point of no return.

Cool! Incidently since I mentioned that I'm never going to be able to complete Colony 6 since I'm locked out of one of the items, is there any particularly awesome thing you get for rebuilding it 100%?

The ingame rewards themselves for the Colony 6 quest aren't that great. But there's one thing about it that really gives you a profound sense of accomplishment: The music changes Are you sure you're locked out though? The Xenoblade wiki seems to suggest that you should be able to trade with Berryjammy in Colony 6 to get Lewisia silver. You can get to the 5 Star affinity needed without upgrading the colony all the way. Regy Rusty fucked around with this message at 19:18 on Jan 23, 2013 |

The Colony itself and the Bionis Leg, so at this point in the game it's gonna be mostly the Colony itself. Upgrade the parts you can and go seek out the people who you have to talk to once you've reached certain conditions to get them to move there, as they're the ones who will then give you quests.

Kind of worried that it looks like Xenoblade 2 (or whatever it actually ends up being called) looks to have multiplayer. A Co-op game ala Secret of Mana would be pretty awesome though, if that's the route they're going.
