It is very frustrating, I can’t lie. I’ve desperately tried to keep it on topic while indulging in some talk about the older games, but it’s very difficult.
he looks like a machina. his momma probably was a tractorWas confused for a bit, because I thought the name was Lanz instead of Lanze (which it is). Lanze would be straight up lance (as in, the weapon) in German, which would have been kind of funny given his choice of weapon.
On the other hand, this is a Lanz:

Help me out here.
Having Sawano for X really gave us a different vibe as well, I'd say it really helped when it came to those trailers.
Nobody was really expecting good things from Monolith Soft under Nintendo yet, that was the bigger problem.
And people refused to acknowledge them for Baten Kaitos too. It's taken so many years for MonolithSoft to get the recognition they finally have today.
This is why certain forums bother the hell out of me. None of the complaints above are necessarily unwarranted, but when a new game is announced and it’s the ONLY thing anyone can talk about, it gets super annoying.
Okay, yeah…I’m definitely convinced that Aionios may very likely end up being Mira. To me it’s looking like there’s too much pointing in that direction for it to be just a coincidence, and if this was always the plan it certainly explains why they intentionally kept Mira such a mystery… I’ve been waiting years to get some more answers about Mira and to know where exactly XCX fits in with the rest of the series, and I’m so, so excited that we may finally be getting exactly that…and the potential explanation being that it’s the mashed-up worlds of XC and XC2 is just so fucking cool! It sure is a good time to be a Xenoblade fan.And when Takahashi mentions the concept/ideas for Xeno 3 came about sometime after Xenoblade 1 and before Xenoblade 2, he's almost straight up saying it came about during the development of Xenoblade X. I really think there's going to be connections to Xeno X in this game, and I think the merged world is actually going to be Mira in the past. For example, take a look at the concept art for Mira:
You'll notice the tall structure at the top, which really reminds me of the world tree (with the top broken off, which basically happens at the end of Xeno 2) and Morytha at the base. To the right you see something that looks somewhat like Alcamoth, and throughout the planet various structures that look like the titan landmasses we see at the end of Xeno 2 and in the Xeno 3 trailer. I always thought it was weird that things from both worlds were there, but knowing the two worlds eventually merged kinda explains the concept art I guess. If Xeno 3 IS the past of Mira then... I'm not sure we can expect a happy ending to the game since we know the survivors basically had to abandon the planet at some point, after almost annihilating each other.
It's already known that there's some really weird interdimensional time stuff happening around Mira (shown in the Professor B quests), and the Fog King/beasts are very similar to the Tainted (And there's a lot of that purple fog around the area the tainted are found in too). I really feel we're going to see this alleged "Great One" Luxaar goes on about, which seems to be the source of the virus that causes the tainted. Maybe info on what the Ghosts are and the relation it all has to dark matter too.
Sheesh calm down. Even the Mario stuff from the Direct hasn't reached a million views yet
What is it with this history revisionism? NOE announced they'd be localising the game, did just as announced and released it normally a year later in their territories (plus down under). They even bothered translating the awesome artbook for the French market in a limited fashion (1000 copies iirc) and included it as part of the JRPG trilogy for which they offered those awesome coins and case through Club Nintendo (which I still have).
How come? It could be as simple as setting up the origins of Mira, but not explicitly stating that in game. Just having it be something that people who’ve played XCX will pick up on, like how people who’ve played XC could deduce the identity of Ontos in XC2. The general plot doesn’t need to be significantly relevant to XCX’s plot or anything beyond that.
If an X connection is a part of the story he is not going to reveal in an interviews. Just like he denied the link between 1 & 2 before.
I'm not sure what the benefit of that is now. with XC2, the connection to XC1 was the surprise twist. doing the same thing twice, while you're selling the third game as "it all comes together" is just running your car off the road
You are talking about the guy who is trying to tell the same story for the last 25 years lol. I doubt he care that much about repeating twist at this point as long as he want to do it. I'm sure if he end up linking X more strongly to the trilogy it will he will do it in an satisfying manner. We can at least give him the benefit of doubt right ?
I mean, we have a quote from him literally saying that all Xenoblade games, including X, are essentially single episodes of a greater connected story:

Aside from the fact that I’m sure it would have been planned all along if they are tying XCX to XC3, anyway, I’d say finally getting some answers about what the hell is up with Mira is pretty exciting, no? (Hell, I’ll take whatever breadcrumbs I can get that elaborate more on anything from XCX, ‘cause there are still so many unanswered questions with that game’s world and plot still.) And in general it’s just really cool to see how these different episodes may be connected to each other. Doesn’t have to be some big, in-your-face connections either; it can be more subtle revelations that give just enough info to establish some kind of connection between the games but doesn’t necessarily become something hugely important to XC3’s own plot or anything.
They just have to get rid of the ugly ass UI from Xenoblade 2. How do you want to sell your game when people who don't know a damn thing about Xenoblade see this.
It’s Uraya. It’s Xenoblade 1 + 2 merged in the end shot
Maybe I just have XC2 induced Stockholm Syndrome but this looks fine to me. You have all the info you could possibly need on one screen, and in XC2 that's a pretty handy thing to haveThey just have to get rid of the ugly ass UI from Xenoblade 2.

XCDE was a massive improvement in that regard so I wouldn't worry that much (although going back to XC1's combat was a downgrade after the vastly superior XC2's battle system).They just have to get rid of the ugly ass UI from Xenoblade 2.
