Yesterday, Monolith Soft put out the newest trailer for Xenoblade X. Xenoblade X is the sequel to the Action-RPG Xenoblade Chronicles that was released for the Wii back in 2010. This new trailer opened to a cinematic that I found rather boring. I am the majority of the time disappointed when trailers show us cutscenes from a game rather than actual gameplay, but this wasn't even interesting to watch. Being in Japanese was part of it, but also the transitions, music, and shots weren't engaging. I ended up skipping directly to the game footage. The game footage intrigued me however. This game looks to be more action oriented than ever with the machine guns and mech suits. The combat looks rather intense and probably deeper than it is portrayed to be. The mech suits interested me the most as they have a Transformers flavor to them as they can shift into vehicles while roaming the landscapes. The mech suits can also fly and even be used in combat as well.
The environments in this game also looks rather lush and colorful with its forest green landscapes, the surreal purple one, and the futuristic science-fiction towns that play a nice contrast. There's also a reveal of customization or alternate costumes at least from the footage of the characters wearing various outfits. These could be story based or armor dependent, but its nice to see a little bit of aesthetic change to the characters. All around this game looks like it's going to be quite fun and full of depth. I'm eager to play it when it drops to North America this year. There's still no official date yet.
7/10
