New Xenoblade Chronicles X Trailer and Japan Release date.

[Fynn]

This is just what I said - Dark Souls is an Action RPG, Xenoblade Chronicles X is not. You can't expect two games in two different genres to be challenging in the same way.

>>> But both are RPGs, or have RPG elements. And these days I expect more from an RPG than just the classic kill-monsters grinding. (well Disgaea games are probably the only exception)..

Well, expecting a game to fulfill your own personal criteria even though it never aimed to meet them in the first place is kind of unfair. IMO, it'd be boring if all we had were action RPGs. And my point stands - Xenoblade Chronicles X may still be challenging, even if that challenge does not stem from platforming.

Not to mention the art style alone is unrealistic. They have big anime eyes. I don't think their intent was ever realism. At least outside of the fact that their space ship has THE UNITED STATES emblazoned on it lol Which kind of throws off my suspension of disbelief, but whatever. I'll just pretend its not there when I play the game lol

What makes it unbelievable? it's been established from the getgo that the cast is American.

I must have missed that memo. I know the basic structure of the plot, traveling space, getting attacked, landing on a random planet, and having to survive. I hadn't even heard they were from Earth, let alone America. I presumed it was going to be some fictional thing. I thought it was going to be a prequel or a far-off sequel to Xenoblade itself. And I never got any impression they were from Earth. Just sorta came out of left field for me. But with games like this, I don't subject myself to a whole lot of pre-release information. I'm a fan who's anxiously awaiting its release, but I don't want to torture myself by going over things that interest me when the final product is months or years away (I tend to do this with most games that I want, these days). My exposure to information is pretty random I guess. Then again, I probably just missed something or forgot something in the early trailers

So you're not aware that your city/ship is called Neo Los Angeles?
