The official site updated with a new music track:

Sawano channeling the Tron Legacy soundtrack there.

I hope all the vocal tracks are done in horribly accented English or (better yet) German.

The soundtrack won't be as good as Xenoblade IMO (I would love to be wrong) and that's because while Sawano is good, the only thing he seems to know how to do good is bombastic music.

Not true, he does good low key stuff too, it just gets lost behind the bombast.

The music in that trailer is great and idea of playing a colonist exploring an alien planet is such a cool idea to me, not actually sure I could get more hyped for this game (which is usually a bad sign. :v: )

"Working on the Gundam" series sounds pretty good until you check which Gundam series. "Worked on Destiny" is not really a ringing endorsement, I'm afraid.

Hey, at least it's not AGE.

I can't get over how bad the faces look in this game. The main character in particular.

At least you'll be able to change the MC's derp face. I wonder exactly how much customisation there'll be.

gently caress vocal songs, give me organic ambiance. I cringe every time I hear lyrics in video game music, especially in Japanese tracks.

One of Sawano's 'things' is that he does a lot more vocal insert songs than most anime OST dudes, they're all in hilariously bad Engrish or German but that doesn't stop most of them from being amazing.

I think the Xenosaga guy must've had a broken limb or some other ailment to recover from during most of Xenoblade's intiial development and now he is back in full terrible force

Everything looks completely awesome apart from a couple of derpy faces and I could not be more hyped for this game.

This is Monolith's first HD game, and they managed to create this huge expansive beautiful world that you can explore freely with no loading. drat, eat poo poo Square-Enix

At this point S-E's mismanagement over the past few years has been the stuff of legends, FFXV looks like it might be legit good though.

At the outside five years, assuming helping out on Skyward Sword and Project X-Zone didn't tie up too much of their resources. Like three if they only work on one project at a time.

Weird that one of the few game studios with a reasonable sounding work ethic would be Japanese where mandatory overtime and 60+ hour weeks are considered normal.
Then again maybe that's just compared to the 100+ hour weeks everyone else does. :v:

Since it's just playing over the action with no sound effects I'm assuming it not the main battle music you hear all the time.

If they've been set on a Western release from the start it's likely they've been working on the localisation along side the game, so it's not infeasible but any actual time frame is nothing but rumours.

I quit xenoblade when they gave me a 4th character but the party could only fit 3. That is the worst poo poo ever and any game that does that can gently caress itself. Thanks for reading.

I know it's a JRPG, but when they said they wanted to be Japan's answer to Bethesda I did get my hopes up.

Who said this and also lol because all of Bethesda's RPG's are terrible boring expanses of nothing.

Xenoblade was MMO combat but offline and so is the sequel and I'm pretty sure no-one has represented it as anything else.

2000 yen's worth of DLC so close to launch doesn't exactly change my mind about the game. And all of the characters look extremely generic.

Mario Kart 8, Hyrule Warriors and Mario Golf all had the that much DLC either at launch or for pre-order and it was all top quality, worth the price and didn't feel like the main game was stripped down or missing anything.

Seems like people are just looking for reasons not to like this game at the moment.

Given that a lot of good JRPGs don't see the light of day on home consoles in the West anymore, I am willing to be flexible with DLC as long as it is high quality and I hope a lot of people decide to buy it. Anything that brings more of these kinds of games over to the West is a good thing in my book (well..almost anything).

It's more that there really aren't any, not that we don't get them here. Outside of Square, Atlus, Bamco and NIS, the only companies doing home console JRPG's are Idea Factory/Compile Heart poo poo tier stuff. And only one of those does anything approaching big budget ones.
