I'm not feeling the whole create your own character for JRPG with a supposedly storyline to it.

R00bot3457d ago

Yeah I'm not sure about it either, but I think we should wait until we get more info on the game to judge it. It worked with Mass Effect... Somewhat...

Concertoine3457d ago

I think the move from a rounded, enjoyable protagonist in Xenoblade Chroniclesto the create-your-own mute in X is a huge step back.

juaburg913457d ago

I seriously dont see how somebody can disagree with you. That is also the biggest thing that has been bothering me. With Xeno, you had all these beautiful interactions between the characters. The group became one and each character, including Shulk, had his/her own voice which made them who they are. The interaction made you feel as if you, as the player, were actually part of the gang.

Now, it seems you are playing as a mute character... It takes a sense of interaction, and immersion away from the experience.

Over than that, the game looks so incredibly beautiful. I really can't wait to get my hands on this game.

Qrphe3457d ago

Plots always take a hit when main characters aren't designed by the writer. I know it sucks for those looking for an "epic" JRPG story but at least we know their focus is 100% gameplay.

TheOtherVitaOwner3457d ago

The e3 2014 trailer should be a good indicator that the story won't be suffering from the customisable protagonist.

DeusEx-Machina3453d ago

I don't know if it's a step back, but it certainly doesn't make telling a story easier.

As said below, I'll give Monolith soft the benefit of the doubt though.

(Interestingly, Shulk was originally intended as a silent protagonist too. But they changed their mind at some point during development. So in this respect it technically really is a "step back")

If any man knows good stories its Tetsuya Takahashi trust them, put your faith in them. Monolith knows what they are doing.

Being able to create my character makes it feel more like I'm there. So I'm cool with it.

Can't wait to play.

DeusEx-Machina3453d ago

I agree. But I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. If anyone can pull this off, it's Tetsuya Takahashi.

Looks great. RPG fan. Console seller!

Drithe3457d ago

I love create your own character. It is a solo mmo about me and not some wussy nerd. BEEEEEFCAAAAAAKE!!!

juaburg913457d ago

I HOPE they have a Wii U bundle with X! Cant wait to get this game and my Wii U. The poor guy is going to be on 24/7!!!

Yea. I own it but don’t want to pull out the Wii U

Zeldafan64311d ago

I never unplugged my Wii U. Still play it almost daily but a definitive edition of X would be appreciated.

jznrpg311d ago (Edited 311d ago )

It’s one of the systems I have the least games for . Though there are some really good games on it. I have systems from Atari’s , Nintendo’s, Segas , TurboGrafx 16 , PS’s etc etc so I put a few in my game storage room. I do pull it out from time to time and I have a new one in a box but won’t open that .
But I’d really like to have a Chronicles X but not on Switch whatever the next console is preferably so they can add more quality to it .

Zeldafan64310d ago

Lucky, you didn't need to explain that.

Zeldafan64311d ago (Edited 311d ago )

Playing X at 1080/60 would be great so waiting for the Switch successor would be ideal but it wouldn't be smart to make it a launch game. It would suck waiting til 2025 to get X definitive edition but I think that's what will happen.

I know people say Wii U has no games but I've got over 100 games for it.

luckytrouble310d ago

I mean, when people say a system has "no games" they aren't saying the system literally had no games released on it. They're more commenting on the state of games that make the system worth owning. For many the Wii U never had a game that made the system worth owning, or if it did, it has a Switch port or successor at this point anyways so they were effectively proven correct to have never purchased a Wii U in the first place.

Yes, depending on the individual the Wii U remains worth owning for the handful of games still locked to it, but for many they'd rather just wait to see what else gets ported in the future at this point. There is exceptionally little you can only play on a Wii U these days though, especially with the eShop dead so anything that may have existed only on it is no longer of consequence to non-Wii U owners.

chaos999311d ago

They said it cost too much time to remap controls unfortunately

luckytrouble310d ago

In all fairness, that's probably a reason they're passing on a few of the still Wii U locked games. Starfox Zero, among the reasons you may not want to port it, would need its entire control scheme reworked from the ground up. Chronicles X may not be as extreme of a case (I don't know, I've never played or watched gameplay), but often unless a game is going to sell really well, it can be hard to convince a company to do more than the basic expected remaster work. Heck, a lot of people figure the only reason we got Galaxy 1 in the 3D All Stars collection for example is because they had already done the work for the Nvidia Shield port for China, which subsequently is likely the major reason they didn't include Galaxy 2. They simply did not want to remap the game controls. It may sound silly since it sounds so simple just by the words, but you have to figure more goes into it than you're probably thinking if it's that much of a sticking point.

DefaultComment311d ago

Yes, I agree. We definitely need to retake Xenoblade Chronicles X which btw it left us on a cliffhanger suggesting there wiull be a XCX2 .... and im up for it.

isarai311d ago (Edited 311d ago )

I put so many hours into X, just please ad a music volume setting was going crazy walking around base and hearing

"UH UH... YEAH!.. YEAH!...YEAHYEAHYEEEEAAAAH!..U H UH!"

FinalFantasyFanatic310d ago

I can't believe they haven't done it yet, it's the Xenoblade game I'm most excited for, I would buy it in a heart beat.

Operation Rainfall: 10 Years On

It has been 10 years since Xenoblade arrived in the US, we look back at how the game almost never showed up if not for a group of dedicated fans.

I wish The Last Story would make a comeback.I played it years before I got around to Xenoblade. Mainly because of the scalping going on because of Xeno's limited run. It took me a few tries to get into it but once I did I couldn't put it down. A Wii hidden gem for sure.

pietro1212748d ago

As much as I love Xenoblade, Last Story was the better game IMO. I wish Nintendo would remaster or simply port the game onto the Switch.

porkChop749d ago

Xenoblade went on to be a really successful franchise too.

pietro1212748d ago

I wish the Last Story get a Switch remaster or remake. That game deserves a second chance

If they're not important enough to be held on their own official storefront then they're not important enough to give your money to Nintendo.

Buy these, physically, used or simply emulate them.

This article comes off as nothing more than advertising games that Nintendo, themselves, don't care to offer you... buy now!

ocelot07790d ago

Wait hang on where all the outrage? I swear when Sony tried to do this with PS3 last year. There was outrage from all corners of the gaming universe.

Why does no one care Nintendo is doing it?

MadLad790d ago (Edited 790d ago )

There has been.
A lot of it.

Simply type in "3DS" in Google and tell me what you see.

ocelot07790d ago

Oh I have a fair few websites reporting on it. But where is the outcry on here? I remember their was 2-3 approved top voted articles when Sony announced they where closing the PS3 store. All slating them and not caring about customers.

I should of worded it better. Where is all the outrage on n4g?

MadLad789d ago (Edited 789d ago )

N4G is a fanboy site, mainly frequented by only Sony.
Microsoft is their direct competition, so you'll typically only see articles that are made to rile up those fanbases.

Nintendo does it's own thing, so they're rarely brought up, aside from their fans. The most you get is the same typical two or three posters claiming Nintendo is only for infants.

If you come to N4G for educated discourse and reasonable discussion, this isn't the place. Sad as it is.

pietro1212790d ago

It's lame that it is shutting down. Now I feel rushed buying all the rpgs I missed out on the system.

XxINFERNUSxX789d ago

You guys know that even archive.org has 3DS roms, and all other console roms. I'm downloading 846GB of 3DS roms and will add the best games to my soon to be soft modded New 3DS 😁. Might as well throw in DS and other emulators in there to. Guys this would be the best way to play and enjoy the 3DS. Just need to buy a bigger micro SD card and format it to FAT32, which you can if it's even 256GB or larger there are ways.

XxINFERNUSxX789d ago

This should help if you want to soft mod it excellent guide and up to the latest and probably last 3DS firmware update: https://www.youtube.com/wat...
