Needs moar Weltall cameos though, that was probably the best part of Xenosaga 3.
I will probably play this. I can only hope that it comes close to the quality I expect of the series, and have thus far yet to see.
I love both Xenogears and Saga so I was hoping that Blade (despite being on the Wii) would be another great (although unconnected) entry, but the trailer failed to fully capture me.
The graphics aren't bad but not particularly impresseive either (and comparing it to a PS2 title isn't exactly great, although I did enjoy XII) and the overall art direction seems kinda haphazard everything seems out of place and only unified due to the drab color palatte the world was given.
I'll reserve judgement until I see how the battle system will play out but eh
As a great fan of Xenogears, I think I'll need to see more. It looks like they're on a good track, but the appearance of a brave youth who grabs the special sword and runs brazenly into danger swinging it wildly and shouting like a moron forces me to curb my potential enthusiasm. Still, if this is good, and if The Last Story decides to actually release screenshots instead of concept art (don't get me wrong, I love concept art), my interest in owning a Wii may perk up.
I can't wait for when they show the battle system in action and lets pray it comes over since Nintendo has yet to bring over any of the games that Monolith Soft has worked on in the past like Soma Bringer for the DS and Disaster Day of Crisis for the Wii.
I really don't get how the Wii is unable to live up to the Xeno name? Because the graphics fidelity isn't the highest? Or because the Wii's library is choked? Or is it because the same people who complain the Wii doesn't have any games are the same people who whine and go 'it's going to suck' whenever something is released for the Wii.
My problem with the Wii is I hardly consider it "next-gen" as it's basically 2 gamecubes taped together... But that's not why I hate on the Wii or it's titles as there are quite a few games I enjoy and (against my will) can only enjoy on the Wii (hello Arc Rise Fantasia and Fatal Frame 4 :3)
I'm hating on Xenoblade because it just looks "meh" nothing has caught my eye unlike Xenogears and Saga
The original name was changed late in development to try and make fans THINK it was related and hence drive sales but even interviews with those involved said it has nothing to do with the other games in the series despite being from Monolith and having the word Xeno in the title.
Personally I would be ALOT more excited if this game had come to the PS3 or 360. As it stands it doesn't look that impressive(visual wise, story still seems somewhat interesting) Even Xenosaga III on PS2 looked better then Xenoblade.
I mean it's really hard to go back to the blocky hands and vacant faces look when PS3 and 360 have been pushing graphics beyond that point for quite awhile now.
calm down i have nothing against tha wii, if you like it than power to ya.. i didn't say that the wii couldnt live up to xeno name, i was talking about the game based on the footage i saw on youtube which was horrible btw..
Yeah. Way better. Even the first Xenosaga did in spots. Kind of mystifying. If this is a final build, then it's very low on polygons and textures.
Poor Xenogears. Such a great story with such humongous potential. They set it up so that Fei and Elly had an eternity of reincarnated lives together, so that the storyline could go on and on being awesome.
Then it died. Then the Xenosaga series also set up way too many plot threads and resolved none of them.
This looks like it has nothing to do with any of it. Swords? Gimme a break. Okay, maybe Citan gets a sword, but no one else.
