Nintendo’s new Xenoblade Chronicles trailer is magical

Gaming-Age:
Xenoblade Chronicles may be the very last big RPG ever released for the Wii, so Wii owners and RPG fans should surely be interested in every new piece of content for the game.

Nintendo of America has just released a new trailer for the game, and it’s totally worth checking out if you haven’t already.

The voice acting was pretty funny but that is expected. Day one purchase.

Ranma14452d ago

Lost Oddesy is what FF13 should have been

And this game is what FF12 should have been, FF12 was ok, except had a poor story (the story wasnt upto standards of past games)

But i would take the gameplay of FF4-10 over any type of jrpg gameplay

jacksonmichael4452d ago

Relevant (to FFXIII), as always, Ranma. Anyway, I'm very excited for this game, but isn't this the same trailer as the last one?

deep_fried_bum_cake4452d ago

Comes on a section about the Xenoblade trailer and talks about his dislike of FF13. You stay classy Ranma1.

On topic, I really want this game but it's not worth purchasing a Wii just for one game. If only it was on any other platform.

phantomexe4452d ago

i agree ranma. i miss the older style rpgs and as for ff13. I never trade in games but ff13 was a trade in for me.

Capt-FuzzyPants4452d ago

That was kind off topic. You just have to say something bad about 13 in every article about a jrpg don't you? Even the article isn tabout FF or even Square.

LX-General-Kaos4452d ago

I say we all just give Ranma1 a pass. We should also give FF13 The Capcom Devil May Cry 2 treatment and pretend that it never happened. Lets just celebrate the soon to be released xenoblade and be happy we have a great jrpg coming.

I'm actually probably going to buy this game before I buy a Wii.

If I don't do both at the same time XD

blackblades4452d ago

Looks like a last gen game, should of been on ps3, go ahead and hate one me I don't care.

phantomexe4452d ago

I love comments like that.....but i'll enjoy saying "TOO BAD". i do believe i'll dust off the old Wii and preorder this bad boy and does anyone know if were going see The Last Story state side?

ThePsychoGamer4452d ago

It would seem that Nintendo is going to use Xenoblade as a means to test the waters and see if there is a market for TLS and Pandora's Tower...

Though with the way they stacked the odds agaist the game (Limiting retail sales only there online store and gamestop) I doubt they plan to.

Xof4451d ago

You really think Nintendo is "Testing the waters?" Wii releases have been DEAD in North America for many, many months. There hasn't been a decent title since Skyward Sword.

Seems silly to think they care. The only reason we're getting Xenoblade is because Nintendo wanted to "make up" with their fans (remember, all that crap went down at the same time as the 3DS awful early sales and early price-drop, leaving a LOT of gamers really, really pissed off at 'em).

Ulf4452d ago (Edited 4452d ago )

It's a Nintendo 1st party studio that made it. It was never coming to PS3. Wii U maybe, but not PS3.

Ulf4452d ago (Edited 4452d ago )

I would actually say this trailer... sucks. Really really bad editing for a professional trailer.

The game is awesome, and this trailer in no way represents that, IMO. Somehow the trailer makes it look like a GameCube game. I swear the game is better looking than the trailer lets on.

Best JRPG series of the last 5 years imo

repsahj215d ago

I agree 100%. My top JRPG so far, together with Baldurs Gate 3 and FF16.

autobotdan215d ago (Edited 215d ago )

There is no together at the top. There is only one top jrpg series. Xenoblade Chronicles series is alone at the top

raWfodog215d ago (Edited 215d ago )

I like the Xenoblades series but my ‘top’ series would be either the Trails series or Persona series. Just too many good games for me to just pick one series though, so I say play them all lol.

autobotdan215d ago

You are hereby excommunicated the church of Xenoblade Chronocology

CappyBlack214d ago

I'm not huge into JRPGs, but my favorite is easily the Persona series. It's all opinion though. Xenoblade is a great series.

repsahj215d ago

XC4 for Switch 2 for the win!! So excited!

phoenixwing215d ago

Also they might port over xenoblade x to the switch 2

Tetsuya Takahashi Wants The Next Xenoblade To Be Vastly Different From Previous Games

Tetsuya Takahashi has revealed his plan to make the next Xenoblade vastly different from previous games.

GotGame818246d ago (Edited 246d ago )

I liked the Xenoblade X formula. It takes awhile, but opening up Mechs was amazing. Especially once you can fly them, and use them in battle. You have to put some time into the game to do it, but it's worth it!

Also, the graphics were more realistic than the other games. Still looks good today, just a lot more pop-in than is acceptable today, hell even too much for back then. It wasn't game breaking though.

gleepot215d ago

Xenoblade 1-3 and X are so great. That said, I'm ready for them to do a big change up.

Lightning Mr Bubbles580d ago

Me being a Playstation guy and a huge JRPG fan, I can say that the only franchises I actually miss that are on Switch are The Fire Emblem series and The Xenoblade Chronicles series. I've played neither but I've heard good things. I've seen people play Xenoblade Chronicles games on youtube, and it seems like they think it's a big deal so I'm curious.

Rebel_Scum579d ago

As someone who doesnt like jrpg’s that much these days I went into Xenoblade Chronicles blind and had a blast. Reminded me of that golden age of 16-bit and 32-bit jrpgs. If thats the era you liked then it should hit the spot.

jznrpg579d ago

I only have a Switch for the games that don’t come on PlayStation . There aren’t a ton but there are some good ones.

repsahj579d ago (Edited 579d ago )

I agree with top 1, for me xenoblade chronicles 3(and 2) is one of the greatest jrpg to date. It's like the feeling of playing ff7 on ps1 for the first time again. Imagine if XC3 was done with ps5 graphics, that will be magical. I might get the xc remaster before the year ends or after I got the platinum trophy of GoW ragnarok.

jznrpg579d ago

I didn’t care for 2 as much . It’s good but 3 is sooo much better than so is the first one imo .

repsahj579d ago

yeah I agree, but much better than any recent jrpg releases.
