They remastered a 10-year old game to make it look like... a 10-year-old game.

No Collector's Edition reveal.
Honestly feel like this confirms its not getting one.
Have that clarified if the boob slider will be in this version or not?

YES INTO MY VEINS!! I just need a confirmation for dual dub.....
Font is bigger, nice. There's actually a guide for the Overdrive color, nice. Looks like they also tone down the motion blur.
It seems the new character will be new party member, since she appeared in the middle of the story
The hooded guy vibe is kinda like Albedo from Xenosaga (or Nero from DMC5)
Another new Skell
The epilogue area looks fun.

I think it's already announced since the first trailer? 60 bucks

They made a lot of improvements to the game, not just the visuals. Xenoblade X had many problems on the original release, and not many people bought it. I think it's a fair price.
No info so far, but there's an early purchase bonus
Includes the following in-game items:
- 100,000 credits
- Melee weapon: Advanced Iron Knife
- Ranged weapon: Advanced Storm Assault Rifle

- Six weapon augments: Melee Accuracy Up I, Ranged Accuracy Up I, Melee Attack Up I, Ranged Attack Up I, Theroid Slayer I, Secondary CD Reducer I
- Five armor augments: Max HP Up I, Max TP Up I, Evasion Up I, Potential Up I, Physical Resistance Up I
*The Exploration Support Pack bonus will be granted automatically to those who purchase the game from Nintendo eShop before April 6th, 2025, or redeem the download code included in the physical version at launch. An internet connection is required to receive the bonus. The Exploration Support Pack can be obtained from the Customization Center, available from Chapter 3 onwards.

nah, I don't know about all that, this is still a remaster.
Will just wait for a sale or buy used or something.
I see no fucking reason for full price for a remaster

I agree it seems very untouched. But most fans are probably just happy it exists at all. Didn’t sound like they’d do a Switch port at all when they were asked questions about it in the early Switch days.

It seems they only focus on changing the character design, the unreadable UI, and restoring scrapped content. Those three were the top critics of the game.

Kinda, you're not the main character of the story, your background is unknown but you're some kind of super soldier, it's really Elma's story.
You have to explore % of the map to unlock certain story missions.

There's like 20+ recruitable party members in the game and like 8 matter to the story at most but they're barely developed and the story is mid as fuck. Don't go in thinking you're getting some epic story. Also you have to play for like 40+ hours before you get the mechs.

Well I think we're many looking forward for the physical collectors to fit previous big boxed Xenoblade games.

It’s a 300 hour game. There’s so many examples of lame cash grabs it’s so odd to pick this one to complain about. If any remaster is worth $60, it’s this one.

Yes. They changed direction mid-development and switched to player avatar instead of a character like Shulk. The story is good but it’s more emphasis on exploration.

Paid online will be a blight on this. Unless some major item acquisition changes were made (or recipes rebalanced), there's gonna be a ton of stuff impossible to obtain or unreasonably time-consuming.
I'll buy the game again only because it's a favourite but there's no way in hell I'm paying for online.
