Xenoblade, the much heralded Wii RPG so unrelated to the Xenogears series nobody can fail to mention the fact, has seen the release of actual gameplay footage which seems rather at odds with high tempo action displayed in the trailer.
Ideal:
This exciting trailer shows off some of the game’s characters at their finest, such as it is…
Actuality:
Comments range from “What part of this is seamless?” and “It’s a marathon sim, right?” to “They made the city pointlessly huge but neglected to put in any fast travel” and “That city is suffering from severe depopulation!”
In any case, it appears lofty expectations of the title have largely been shattered.
I think that the huge enviorment is great. The lonely aspect of the game appeals to me, and besides walking around so much you can really appreciate the scenery. I am really looking forward to a localization of this game.
Looks great! I’m planning to purchase Wii just for this game alone 🙂
Well I think this game looks pretty goddamn awesome. The trailer looks great (even if the faces are a bit unusual) and the gameplay looks pretty interesting as well. Sure the town is a bit barren, but it makes a nice change from RPG capital cities that are 2 streets, a vendor and an inn. And when the character jumped off the top off the mountain all the way back down to the water at the bottom, my eyes nearly bugged out- yeah it looks like it IS a nearly seamless world.
And what the f♥♥k was that about “They made the city pointlessly huge but neglected to put in any fast travel”? Did that moron even WATCH to the end of the trailer? What was the last thing shown? Oh, would it have been THE FAST TRAVEL SYSTEM? Yes it WOULD! WHO’S A CLEVER BOY THEN?
those faces…
Are you guys going to talk about FFXIII for every rpg that comes out now?…It’s in the past already, if you guys hate it soo much, why keep reminding yourselves about it?
