What do you think will happen during the new epilogue?Will the story have a proper conclusion? Will it just be sequel bait for X2? Or will it be a complicated mess trying to tie it with the story of the main trilogy?
>>695225216I don't care about the ending. They better keep the scene where you allow an alien execution and Elma is happy about it.
>>695225216Ten extra hours that clear some things up but mostly set up X2.
>>695225216>Will the story have a proper conclusion? Likely.>Will it just be sequel bait for X2? Most likely.>Or will it be a complicated mess trying to tie it with the story of the main trilogy?Likely too.Basically, we won't know until we get there.
All I want is to finally be able to eat Tatsu.
I'm wondering if the new story will be available from the start like FC or need to clear the main game beforehand.Guess it depends on whether it's a new area in the overworld, or intergated into the already existing continents.
>>695229872It doesn't seem like to be a FC/Torna/FR deal.
Do you think they'll add a challenge mode in the DE?
Elma=Vanea. Vanea (Mary Magdalene) trilogy is next now that the Klaus trilogy is over.
>>695233086X is not part of the trilogy, its an alternative universe.

I think they'll end up confirming the black knight is the unnamed hero/Elma's japanese bf, Cross is a J-Body like Yelv, and that the planet itself is storing/facilitating the transfer of data (already known given it auto-translates for everyone).Beyond that, I don't think it'll fully answer things and will leave things open but in a more "a sequel might answer this" than "this is simply kept open" way.
I hope there is no connection between X and the number series. It makes it more unique.
>>695225216>What do you think will happen during the new epilogue?Elma becomes my wife
Will it be a stand alone epilogue like future connected or will it be additional chapters to the main game?
>>695235525You're a bit late what with the big telethia flying around and all.
I haven't played x so i'm talking out of my ass, but If the ending is a "we're stuck in limbo" type thing how are you guys expecting a proper conclusion to the story
>>695225216It'll reveal that Mira is an artificial man-made planet the humans of the previous universal instance (Samaarians) used to hide the literal Deus Ex Machina that had once saved their life, Origin. L'cirufe will be revealed to be a Moebius-like construct of Origin, the "consciousness of Mira" if you will. His aloof personality, his curiosity for other cultures and desire to always learn more and connect with others reflect Mira/Origin's desire to break its solitary confinement and draw others to its orbit.The epilogue will end with BLADE finding out their soul data was recorded in Origin and figuring out a way to disable the forcefield around Mira, putting it back into "normal space", ending on a new cliffhanger where Mira gets immediately surrounded by a fleet of Ghost ships.
>>695235776I know. And there were also some vague hints on some of the garbage collector guys side quests as well as in that one side quest with the bug guys involving the telethia. Still, keep it vague, not outright make them related
>>695229872It'll probably act like an MMO expansion, i.e. new post-game content directly integrated into the game.What I wonder is if they'll change the level cap.
>>695235775They only said "new story content" without specifying to it could be the latter, or if not entire chapters at least additions here and there. They've shown the scene from the epilogue because they know that's what fans wanted to see, but I feel like they would've outright mention to only expect an epilogue like Xenoblade DE if that's all it was.
>>695233435Meaningless. Bionis and Alrest were also an alternate universe.
>>695236145They're stuck in limbo "right now" and are looking into the reason why. They could meet someone involved in their current situation and discover how to change it, for instance.
>>695236145Epilogue chapter is chracters realizing they're in a limbo, and finding a way of exiting it.
>>695235401I get the feeling that the black knight will be similar to the moebius. Mira will be something similar to origin.
Didn't they already said they were interested in making a sequel for X?
>>695225216An X2 is definitely not happening because they're moving the series in a new direction with the next new game. They will probably explain what's going on with Mira and why humans are the forebearers to the alien species that want them exterminated. They might will probably tie it into the rest of the series somehow either vaguely or explicitly. At the very least probably explain that Earth wasn't destroyed and when the Conduit was activated it messed with their memories and sent them into a pocket dimension of Mira or something and they figure out a way to get out an back to the normal universe.
>>695239614>At the very least probably explain that Earth wasn't destroyed and when the Conduit was activated it messed with their memories and sent them into a pocket dimension of Mira or something and they figure out a way to get out an back to the normal universeOh please anon!
>>695236145Ending was literally"It's something about this planet" after finding out that all of their databases containing their consciousness', memories, personality, etc, has actually been destroyed (they are inhabiting artificial bodies since they didn't know if their real bodies would survive in space for a long period of time) so it's impossible that they are still "alive" in their fake bodiesThen it cuts to some guy who just fell into protoplasmic fluid, became some Chimera monstrosity and was defeated but is somehow completely fine and is chilling on a beach?
>>695239941>SpoilerHow do you do a sequel from THIS?
>>695235401You and I both know they're going to make whatever Cross is or was based on something stupidly important, only to have use never play as them again.
>>695239941this + the fact that different alien races that have never been in contact before can communicate with no problems in Mira in what sounds like their own languages to each other, so the planet is not just keeping them alive in circumstances where it shouldn't be possible, it's deliberately intervening to allow different sentient species to communicate and organize
>>695240445In before Yelv was the protagonist.
>>695240292We were dead all along, no one from Earth survived.
>>695240292The cliffhanger is barely a cliffhanger anymore. Especially after 3.
>>695240292Just put KOS-MOS somewhere in X2 and it'll work itself out.
>>695240590>WeBut I am alive?
>>695225216>Or will it be a complicated mess trying to tie it with the story of the main trilogyGoing by the dlc for 3, probably this
>>695241846It's probably going to be super simple tie in.
>>695239941Isn't the point supposed to be that Lao is now flesh and blood?
>>695241846>>695241953i played X years ago and was under the impression that it was completely standalone from the main trilogy. is there anything in it that would suggest a connection with the main games or is it being retroactively retconned in?all i can think about is the Telethia superboss but i wrote it off as a nod because it looked fucking nothing like the Telethia from XC1
>>695225216>Or will it be a complicated mess trying to tie it with the story of the main trilogy?The fact they're coincidentally bringing back the Siren model kit alongside the ones from X leads me to believe it's likely to be this. Yeah, they could just be doing it because money and 2 is the most popular game but still they could have just left it at the dolls.
>>695242123Play xenoblade 3 dlc, its probably one of the shittiest attempts of tie in i ever saw
>>695242123X had a few references to 1 like Telethia or Tatsu mentioning Frontier Village, but nothing that major just yet.The biggest evidence for MS wanting to tie X into the trilogy is the meme radio scene in 3's DLC, which explicitly mentions the Earth Colonization Project from X. It also namedrops a character from Saga and has a legally-safe nod to Gears, so it's up to intepretation how much of it is meant to be a hint to the future and how much is just silly references.
>>695242123The DLC of Xenoblade 3 namedrops the colonization project in a scene set on Earth, but it also makes various Xenosaga references so it might just be fanservice.
>>695241685
>>695242370>>695242380There is also a blue comet crashing down on the fused earth, who is explicitly shown to be situated in the solar system.
>>695242380Maybe if they didn't specifically make the dialogue around it basically tone out and make the player focus on what the radio was talking about. It's almost a little too forced to just be throwaway dialogue.
>>695242714The point of the radio, besides the references, was to show how fucked Klaus world was though.
>>695242815It's more Klaus propaganda into making him a "good" person.
>>695242970At least its better than "He just wanted friends :-("
Since a thread is up, these are the exact numbers for how your division affects each activity that gives division points for BLADE level, is curator or pathfinder better for early game points? And is prospector the best for endgame?
>>695242970In the same way that Amalthus's backstory makes him a good person? A character can be a bad person while still having reasons to do the things they do.
>>695225216>What do you think will happen during the new epilogue?Some half assed reference to another xeno game that doesn't mean anything and doesn't answer anything but stupid fanboys will claim it's 10/10 storytelling.
>>695225216I want them to explain what the fuck it is about this planet.
>>695244506No
>They x-ray the whole planet Mira in the new story>The x-ray reveals Origin was inside Mira the whole timeI hope they don’t do this
>>695244563Mira precede Origin, shill.
>>695244506Mira is a large scale version of the lifehold. Bet
>>695245059Origin is just Deus but with no will of its own.
>>695245059I’ve always thought XCX involves a time loop or eternal recurrence - humans crash on Mira, humans and all the aliens in NLA evolve into the Samaarians, Samaarians eventually escape by going back in time, they create the races again, humans come around, Earth is blown up, humans crash on Mira, repeat
>>695242080He still has Mim eyes
>>695245059*chill
>>695245772Don't they look pretty normal in the trailer? They might've retconned it.
>>695244506It's just Isaac Asimov's Nemesis. A telekinetic planet with an atmosphere-wide shared consciousness. We can already tell is has a lot of those powers because it actively causes ships to crash to it, refuses to let them escape, automatically translates languages between different species, and seemingly acted as the data storage (or at least a copy) for everything that was in the Lifehold that otherwise broke.
>>695246068Does it have a sexy blue alien woman that love humanity too much?
>>695246123No that's just Takahashi having good taste.
I really struggle to imagine how this game could possibly have a sequel unless they pull new Mira continents out of their ass. I don't think they put much thought into this concept when they initially made the game.
I’ve said this before, but Xenoblade 3 showed that after generations of crossbreeding, all the fantastical races from 1 and 2 eventually turn into regular humans. So why couldn’t this be true for X’s races as well? That could be the real way for humans to come back in X, by having all the Prone/Orpheans/Manon etc interbreed into normal humans, eventually
>>695246398You don't explore the whole surface of the planet, the edges don't wrap around. There were more continents in concept art too, they could do it.
>Will the story have a proper conclusionWhy do people ask this? This is from the guy who revealed that Xenogears is "episode 5 of a 6 episode saga", in the late 90s when Star Wars was developing its episodic prequels to its original episodic trilogy. This is from the guy who released Xenosaga: Episode I. This is from the guy who really likes sci-fi and wants to do a long-spanning science fiction space opera.Xenoblade X is an EPISODE of a larger narrative, it ended on a cliffhanger. Do you think the new content is going to add a final fight that solves all the lore, deals with the Ghost, Ganglion, and Samaarians, and leaves no mysteries? It was never going to be self-contained.
>>695243618>level up an arms manufacturer>the thing that you can do at most about 30 times in a playthrough between all of them and it takes like 50 hours of just waiting for the miranium to trickle in>25 whole points for the guys who are supposed to get the biggest boost from itwhy were they so mean to us, Outfitter bros?
>>695235401>Elma's japanese bfwait Elma is used goods?fucking dropped
>>695246749Based on the chart, Outfitters and Mediators are the clear worst divisions to be in, imo
>>695242123They just need to explain that earth was teleported and where the aliens were when Klaus clicked the conduit button. Everything else don't matter because it isn't even earth anymore. Even in Xenoblade 1 it looked like the universe exploded but actually just earth disappeared into a pocket dimension. It's all a matter of perspective.
>>695246398New continents, ancient structures arriving from the ocean, time travel, sky areas, underwater exploration, space battles, new human/alien colonies either built during the gap between games, virtual reality simulators, follow other surviving ships, there are tons of possibilities.
I never see people talk about how X has the most distinct different species of characters out of all the XC games
>>695246009In the ending his eyes are clearly still mim.If you want to claim they retcon it in DE, you can. But we're talking about the current ending.
Random thought.In the original version, you had 8 voices per gender for Cross in JP, but only 6 in the EN release.Now on the Switch, chances are the game will be a single SKU, which means both EN and JP languages will be in the same cartridge, and you can easily swap between them by changing your system language.Given that, do you think they'll add 2 new voices for Cross in EN? Or remove 2 voices from the JP Cross.
>>695247071Apparently, in the japanese version they even say that the rest of the land/population was transferred to a singular other dimension instead of implying multiple like this did.So on the rest of Earth's end, it would look like one city just popped out of existence when Klaus made the XB1/XB2 pocket dimensions, while everything else for them stayed the same. If it was the same Earth as XBX, I could see it making enough sense that since the government was all-in on planet evacuation but also only for well-connected families, they probably kept the real purpose under wraps and let the world go to as much shit as it is in XB3:FR's flashback since they were busy getting ready to ditch Earth. Then Klaus's experiment happens sometime before aliens ever arrive.That's mainly just if they felt like tying it together, no real need to do so but if they do, all it does is point out Klaus really was nobody until he made his own universes.
>>695247551People seem to want more guest voices from one of the other games like the ones we already have with Shulk's and Fiora's so maybe the devs will add one or two extra and with it I hope the localization uses the opportunity to correct their laziness and add the missing ones alongside the extra ones.
>>695247202"Humans" in X are the most interesting version of humanity in scifi I've seen. Mostly because from an outside perspective all the other aliens have, humans are a race of robots in bodies far more advanced than their technological expertise, acting out like they're organic, wildly impulsive, yet constantly trying to integrate other societies into their single foothold dwelling they've got on the planet. And still somehow being the social glue between the other races.
>>695246481Some of them melt when exposed to human semen.
>>695248242These "humans" can still be some kind of AI that think they are real and their actual bodies are long dead. AI can act just as schizo as real living beings.
>>695248340>>695248453what am I looking at here
>>695242370>a legally-safe nod to Gearsuh what was this? I must have missed it.
>>695247551I doubt it. NoA probably won't want to record that many new lines.
>>695247202I really was disappointed that almost none of the cool aliens were actually in the party. Then again, X had a horrific party system in general since so many missions mandated certain characters and those not on the mission didn't level. So much missed potential.
>>695225216More of the same trash as usual.
>>695243640Klaus was lucky things ended up the way they did, done by people that were clearly not him thankfully.
>>695250418The radio mentions Philadelphia-class motherships, which is a reference to the Eldridge in Gears.Since Nintendo/MS likely didn't get SE's permission to reference Gears more explicitly, this is what they came up with.
>>695250734I don't think he was that lucky. Considering one guy's "problem of evil" moment nearly ruined his restore earth plan. And evil alternate version of himself nearly got him killed before he could finish his plan.
>>695247790There's ambiguity in the Japanese version because Japanese doesn't use pluralsKlaus says>私が[ゲート]扉を開いたことで多くの人やものが遙か彼方の次元へと消えていった>Translation: Because I had opened the Gate, many people and things disappeared to (a) distant dimension(s)>Localization: When I opened the Conduit, many people and many things... disappeared, into distant dimensions.He also uses the old outdated kanji 遙 in 遥か彼方, but that may just be a stylistic choice to emphasize how old he isBased on what he said before>我々の世界は一つだけではない>多くの世界が 互いの存在を知覚せぬまま重なり合って併存している>Translation: Our world is not the only one. Many worlds, not perceiving each other's mutual existence, overlap and coexist.>Localization: Our world was not the only one. Endless universes coexist, side by side, yet all completely unaware of one another.I think based on the context of that sentence, mutual dimensions is a fair assumption. If he wanted to specify it being a particular far-off dimension, they could have written ある遥か彼方の次元
PC Soon
>>695251126*multiple dimensionsAlso I want to alter my translations slightly>Because I opened the Gate, many people and things had disappeared to (a) distant dimension(s).>Translation: Our world is not the only one. Many worlds, unable to perceive each other's existence, overlap and coexist.He also speaks in old Japanese when he uses 知覚せぬ instead of 知覚せない
>>695245831Is Elma really busty?
>>695252198That's a mod.This is her regular bust size.
>>695252412And it's perfect.
>>695252412Would you consider this respectable busty? Also are all the adult female characters and male ones beaides vandamn roughly the same body shape and proportions? Even the alien women like ga buidhe seems to have identical body proportions to the humans like elma
>>695250418Philadelphia-class spaceships are mentioned, which is the same model as the ship that crashlands at the start of Xenogears, and Xenogears' launch date is on the radio's model, along with every other Xeno games short of Pied Piper
>>695252198No but it should be
This game didn't need a remaster
>>695254515Maybe not, but it sure needed a proper ending
>>695254515It needed a port on something that isn't the Wii U
>>695254515it needed one just to free it from the wii u
>>695254515are they even calling it a remaster?it's just an enhanced port if anything
>>695254784Artstyle is different, so it's an upgrade.Lin isn't a horrid beast beyond the veil of reality anymore.
>>695254212How thicc can the mods make her?
>>695255418That's the max in-game by changing the values in cheat engineI don't think anyone has actually made modifications to the character models yetWill probably change with the Switch port
Someone make a general thread again
