Please let the bonus story content be playable from the start.

If it is, I'll buy the game to play it, but I ain't playing through the whole 100 hours again just for the extra stuff.

Can we get a new optional city theme aswell? Pretty please!?
Not sure about that, but they added the option to turn off the vocal for the flight theme

The music is very Mecha anime music and Takahashi likes his Mecha anime.
Well, Sawano also made music for Gundam Unicorn

I remember in XCDE you could access to future connect at the menu.

I'm sure you can do same with XCXDE.

Wonder if the new content is just 2.5 hours of Tatsu telling "Tatsu not food!" jokes.

I really am hyped for this, but part of me wishes they'd have waited until Switch 2 was out and made it for that system instead. The new models look great, the visual upgrades are noticeable, but it could have been better. Maybe they'll do a patch or something.

I saw this yesterday and it's confirmed that you can only access the new story after finishing the game

She's the mysterious masked pilot from the previous trailer. Her name is Liesel.

I didn't watch this video yet but I'm guessing its because you are accessing extra story within the game itself instead of separate menu?

The true final boss will be Tatsu. And he will finally be food. Tater Tatsu. You get the true ending if Lin deals the final blow. Doing this also gets you the Ultimate Weapon "Tatsu's Lunchbox".

Probably. I think this new content will happen directly after the main story. All the other games have a new story set quite far after/before the main story.
It's going to pick up right after the original XCX's ending. With the seeming inclusion of new playable characters I think the new stuff will be quite expansive. Makes me wonder if they added tons of new quests to all the other zones in the game too.

I hope they added a couple new classes.

Yeah that new area looks awesome and there’s a lot of potential to expand on the story.

My one wish is that they make some changes to the skell balancing. IIRC there was really no reason to use anything but the most expensive heavy skell for everyone if you could afford it. Bummer because they all look so cool.

I used two Skells. Medium Type for exploration and traversal and the Heavies for Combat. Might try a Light Type since they are made of glass but have high evasion.

Course if you build yourself an Ares-90 I'd use that.

Maybe we can build ourselves that new E.S. Dinah looking Skell or get our own Vita Skell.

The popularity of Xenoblade games grown pretty damn well even tho they are very different than Xenosaga it still shows people want more Xeno games.
Well, Xenoblade 3 DLC have Xenosaga stuff in it. Hopefully there's something there.

I just don't how they will do it. Just a remaster of a full on remake? We know that Xenosaga 2 was so bad. They even made Xenosaga 1+2 for DS which fixes Xenosaga 2.

Man, I got so into this on WiiU. Not going back, but I'm glad it's going to be accessible to a much wider audience. The soundtrack can't be unheard.

I think Switch 2 patch would be more than enough instead just re-releasing it.
XB2 needs some heavy reworking on the UI, the amount of menu-ing you have to do can get kind of tiring. They really need to go back to the drawing board to make things snappier and easier to use.

I would also add some other minor fixes like slightly increased running speed in combat (to make positional arts more useful), better rates for dropping unique blades, improved lip sync for the English dub, and other small stuff.

Everything else is perfect, the game scales well to high resolutions. Add some QoL here and there and better tutorials, and it would be golden.

If XB2DE ever comes out, just put it directly in my veins. :messenger_relieved:

They also need to fix the field skill system. It's a pain to access the party menu every time there's a field skill. They also need to add party preset. The running speed in combat is tied to battle system IIRC.

I actually just hooked up the Wii U. Might give this another shot before committing to a purchase. Wii U is probably still the definitive version for me because of the screen on the controller.
 
Excited for the game for sure because there’s like countless improvements they’ve made that I had an issue with the original. And I would love to replay the game and bit have to deal with anymore. And just have a more pleasant experience overall. Because underneath the messy clunky Xenoblade X on Wii U,, there’s an amazing sci-fi open world RPG, But it’s buried very deep down. 😂

Having said that, I am gonna hold off until I know if it’s gonna run better or look better/ have any switch 2-specific improvements. Which of course they’re not gonna say until the game has had a chance to sell for a bit.

field skills are gone, they announce that like a week or two ago. Sounds like nearly everything you’re running into in the game can be accessed right away. There might be some hidden behind special quests, but there’s no more biological field skill level four for example… This was all in the media preview videos last week.
