Trailer Impressions: Xenoblade Chronicles X [E3]

When the game first debuted on the first Nintendo Direct of 2013 under the mysterious name of X, it didn’t take long for fans to realize that it is the next game in the Xenoblade franchise. After the success of bringing Xenoblade Chronicles stateside, it would come as a shock if the sequel didn’t come stateside. The latest trailer from E3 shows off just how massive the game is with no loading between worlds. The battle system looks mostly the same from the original and with online support.

Of course anything with mechs, “skells,” makes the game’s coolness go over 9000! With a world this massive, it’s nice to have means of transportation. When I pick up my limited edition, I know completing the game is out of the question because of life, but I will play enough to have a blast. As stated in my Saints Row 4 review, I prefer playing games where I use created characters to get more immersed in the game instead of a default guy. While my other friends are spending countless hours in Fallout 4 and Star Wars Battlefront, I will be exploring a strange new world in a skell to protect New Los Angeles.
