I hope the game gets a European voice cast like the last. It's one of the things that made it so enjoyable.

I haven't played the original Xenoblade game, but dang this looks really good! I might have to get it when it comes out. Hopefully I don't need to play the first game to get the full effect, otherwise chalk one up for the "games I need to play" list.

Also I loved the song in the background. Anyone know the name of it or who sung it?

From what I have seen of this game, this'll very much be a spiritual sequel towards Xenoblade Chronicles, mostly in how this game's story looks to act as an answer/continuation to the themes that the previous game finished out on. That is, it looks as though you absolutely don't have to play XC before this one to fully get X, but it's still pretty neat to see that progression. It also seems like they're doing the Final Fantasy thing by bringing forward their moogles and chocobos (so to speak) and integrating them in a sci-fi game as well.

On that note, did anyone else see the Telethia monster in this trailer? Given the very specific role those monsters had in XC, I'm super curious to see how they're going to fit in in this game.

YES, that threw me off completely when they appeared!

And of course there's also that mysterious human/animal hybrid Selica; she seems important as well considering she appeared in the Gallery and that promo pic that makes peeps yearn for The Last Guardian. Laughing

I have no interest in this game but damn, this is how you make a trailer, I'd really check it out if I could.

I'm not sure who is the singer but I could tell this was by Sawano from a mile away, this sounds like a track straight out of A.Z, the one singing is probably Cyua.

This time round NOA know that people want it, so it seems more likely they will localise it. With Xenoblade NOE were left 2 options localise it themselves or not release it.

Would Love to play this Game. But I'm not buying a Wii U just to play 1 game. Hopefully the new Nintendo NX will be able to play Wii U games.

We can't wait to pick this up. It's a shame that we can't own the the first game. That's what happens when you get started collecting late. It looks gorgeous.

Thanks for the Sawano idea. After a little searching around I figured out the song is called "The Way."

The story is also focused on a US colony, so an all British cast would make little sense in an American localization.
