If I have to turn the entire soundtrack off so I don't have to hear that Lincoln Park sounding lovely rap every time I fight something I'm probably going to do it.

From the few gameplay videos I've seen that track doesn't appear to be the default combat song. Could be wrong, though.

Looking at it the wrong way.
It is the default battle track when first starting the game, trying to battle your way to NLA though. Though the themes will start to branch out just as you get absolutely tired of hearing the first rap verse of Black Tar repeated over and over. Unless you get tired of it well before you reach NLA then welp.

It's the standard battle on foot theme. But there's a billion different battle themes.

I can't remember where the first one is from, but the second one was just the generic battle music that I have no strong opinions over.

It's the named monster fight. Did you even have the sound up while playing XB? You Will Know Our Names is one of the best JRPG rock battle themes since Still More Fighting.

Actually majority of the battles I had in the game lasted well under 30 seconds so it didn't even get a chance to get to the rock part.

Xenoblade should have had Mechanical Rhythm/You Will Know Our Names for the entire game. I loving hate Mechanical Bounce.

Black Tar is the regular battle music in X, sometimes it just has a long intro thing in front of it for some reason.

Ah, so this is what they mean by painting your house/apartment/whatever. I like the second one's coloring, looks like there's a primary blue and secondary almost-black going on, so it'll be fun to play with at least two colors at the same time but hopefully there will be more colorings to choose, even if it's just primary secondary and highlights. I can run around almost-naked and paint my room and my robot as an EVA-01 but can I redecorate? That couch is passable but the table has to go.

I really enjoyed this one. It had a great contrast to the atmosphere presented in the game prior to it. Not a flagship track by any stretch, but it did the job and felt right.

This is my favorite environmental track in the game, even beating out both Satorl Marsh tracks. It's just so goddamn chill and synthy. Sounds like it could have come from a DKC or Metroid Prime game. If we get anything remotely like it in XCX I'll be happy.

24, if what I read elsewhere is to be believed, most of them being optional.

Edit: Plus 4 DLC ones, of course.

You can do it on the Dolphin. Though I agree that I would have preferred a HD rerelease over a port with tiny resolution and slightly fuzzier textures.

Technically infinite, since you can hire other players.

Normal NPCs, plenty of them, but not all are available all the time.

I can count to 16-17 characters including the dlc characters but of course there might be more that we don't know off.

Do we know if there are time sensitive sidequests? Also can we still roam around the map and do sidequests after we compete the main story?

Those two things were big bothers in the first Xenoblade.

You spawn back in the Blade Home once the credits and epilogue are over, GTA style. I don't even know if there's a ng+. I haven't seen much in the way of timed quests but there might be a few.

Actually no it's more or less Elder Scroll/Fallout style companions. You get their Intro quest and poo poo just like ES and Fallout.

The world itself is apparently larger than Skyrims. So 24 characters is actually a very very small number.

Eh, there's probably a main core cast of characters, and a lot are more side people. I also doubt they will just give people all the same dialogue and have the English translation throw it through an accent generator and then call it a day.

I can think of at least one set of quests that are probably timed due to super late game spoilers, but to say any more would give it away. But the vast majority of quests shouldn't be timed.

It's hard to compete with the predecessor's one when I'm playing the 3DS port, and even now, I'm imagining pulling off a really long chain as soon as the high part hits. But I guess this can fit if you want to think of an X as more Mecha than multifunctional pure action.

But I'm still going to likely make my character Dunban.
