Monolith Soft has released some new footage of Xenoblade Chronicles X which showcases the game’s day and night sequence as well as some of the weather conditions players will be faced with when the game launches later this year. Xenoblade Chronicles X director Koh Kojima has revealed on Twitter that while the game has the same feature of certain monsters appearing during different times in the game, this time around the weather could change the outcome of the battles. Here’s what he had to say about the newly added feature.
“The idea of having a different monsters appear in the fields at day and night was already a feature in Xenoblade Chronicles. In Xenoblade Chronicles X, we have also made it so that weather affects the battles.”
“It isn’t just a visual effect,” Kojima clarified, “but is fully featured in battle tactics. Tuning the weather change cycle was fairly hard work, though…”
Thanks, N-Dub Nation
Me like a lot
rain, snow, sandstorm, and etc., in this game?
At least it’s not like a mobile game… “Pay money to change the weather!” *cringes*
What a beauty…
Never played a Xenoblade game… can’t wait, looks awesome
Good…
Honestly, from that video, the game looks REALLY unpolished. When is it supposed to be released? I don’t see it releasing anytime soon.
The character movements look clunky, the creature movements looked clunky, the environment had very noticeable corners and points and didn’t look natural and fluid.
They are going to fix all this right?
The get the mechanics/coding/gameplay down to a T, then go back and tighten everything up visually before release. Nintendo rarely releases unpolished games, and I cant see that choppiness being in the final product.
Could you please elaborate? Most I can see that is a lil off is the no water splash when character dives in the water. So far the monsters’ movements and characters seem legit to me unless there is a finer detail I’m missing?
Actually there is a small water splash which is quickly invisible because of camera movement.
What video resolution have you selected, Pink?
Dude, relax. The game is still in its final stages meaning it’s being polished. You’re judging a game from a YouTube video which everyone knows that YOUTUBE has a very shitty compiling system in submitting videos.
Best Game of this generation
I just hope that this game is good. I haven’t played the first Xenoblade Chronicles so I have no idea what it will play like. RPG’s are awesome imo and I think I’ll give this game a chance.
Damn. This just makes me want this game even more.
cuz of weather XD
Do you mean all of this ratchet snow?
LOL! yup XD
I don’t understand who will fucking camp in the cold ass snow. Ridiculous
ikr XP
Best Game of all Time
This game looks so cool. I’m praying for a summer release.
I sold my Wii U recently so I won’t get this. I doubt I will get another.
Why the hell are you here, noob?
Well, your lost. Better hope your next $60 purchase isn’t another falsely hyped BS like EA games or Destiny..COD? lol
This game is going to be amazing, and it’ll have everything Xenoblade had and more. Character customization is the selling point for me, and is something I wish we had in all games with the exception of a few storylines.
Pretty good looking game. Only problem I had was there was no splash when he hit the water which looked bad.. But other than that it’s good
I’m sure once they notice the complaints and the video for review, they’ll polish it. It’s still months away from release so I’m hoping it’ll be beyond our expectations. :)
Oh man, that little video was pretty good. The environments were very interesting. I will agree when the dinosaur turned it was like his whole body turned at once, with no fluid movement. Which to me, in this era of gaming is odd. The splash of water isnt that important, when the character was running through the water/river it left splashes as the camera went down. I think it looks great so far. For sure seller for some people im sure still on the fench on buying a Wii U.
Weather already affected what creatures you would encounter on the field in the first Xenoblade. Some would only show up in the rain and others would only show up during meteor storms.
Wow. Such a ground breaking game in the works and will indefinitely put all who doubt Wii U’s capabilities to shame for talking shit. lol
0:49 I’m loving that view there. I wonder if someone uploaded a picture like this somewhere. I would put it as my desktop ASAP.
Hmmmm the water doesnt splash when you dive and the dinosaur whole body moves in a turn. That’s how Xenoblade Chronicles was. Hopefully they fix it unless that’s how they want it to be. Something noticable from the first game.
