Yes, I'm back. After moving to a new place, the internet always takes forever to follow. BUT yes! Now, onto the main topic.

The game I have been waiting for since April (when it was released in Japan) is, as of typing this, 3 days away! Releasing in Europe and N. America on the 4th! Only for Wii U, yes. But it looks to be the best game yet for it!

The game takes place in about 2041 (Can't remember, but around there. Takes place 2 years after the first cutscene tells the date. ). Earth is surprisingly futuristic (but not like... flying car-futuristic. Cars still have wheels) and is in the middle of some intergalactic war between two unknown alien species. The forces begin to attack Earth for some reason and eventually destroy it, but not before Earth starts evacuating. Most of the ships don't make it out of the atmosphere. The White Whale, carrying what will be known as New Los Angeles, is the only known surviving vessel.

2 years later, one of the alien species catches up with the White Whale, and manages to damage it, causing it to be pulled in by a nearby planet, known as Mira. I don't know the main objective of the game, other than to find debris of the White Whale, survive, find survivors across the planet and build a friendship with the main species.

Being a spiritual successor, X doesn't have much in common with the original Xenoblade Chronicles, released on the Wii, New 3DS and Wii U eShop. Though there are some references. Lin, one of the main characters, wears a Monado hairclip, the voices of Shulk and Fiora from the first game return as voices you can choose for your character (along with Yuri Lownthal... *elbow bumps Undelos* xP ) and many more.

But really, that's about it. Different universe (even from the ending of the first game, it's different), and apart from those mentioned above, no actual evidence that suggests it's the same universe.

Just... here are a couple of videos.

Soooo bumpety-bump-bump!

Got the game this morning and it is just my new favourite! Chose Adam Howden's voice for my character (the voice for Shulk in the original Xenoblade Chronicles) and discovered that comes with various Shulk quotes such as "I'm really feeling it!".

Though now I'm wondering if choosing Yuri Lowenthal's voice gives you some subtle Ben 10 quotes...

So in an attempt to get people to notice this post (and because I wanted to), I tried to recreate some of the Xtremists in the game's character creation (which you guys know I love to do ):

X:

Fuzzy Barkzon:

Venom:

Rex Undelos:

Oli Zombieweasel:

Bella:

Hom:

Raj Undelos:

Glory:

I see the resemblance alright. Hehehehehehe.


Although I gotta say Bella, (Raj) Undelos and Glory do actually look pretty close
and resemble the real thing....but the rest.... (but can't blame you with what you could work with)

Although the Hom one doesn't look like Hom,
it does kinda look like Joseph Prince who we joked before about
reminding us of Hom Choi.

Hom Choi's like:

"Please, please.....no photos"


".....But autographs are a different story!"
"Make a queue you guys, plenty of Hom to go around!"



"Listen up everyone. I'm going to share with you
the secrets of the universe. The untold truth.
The reason you always lose a sock in the wash.
The reason you only win 50% of the time flipping a coin.
The reason why the Sun will explode in 5 billion years....
The reason why your life stinks."



"You see this height?"



"That's how awesome everyone on the planet is, put together."

"Still not quite my height."

X: "Uh.....if that's an average, then you must have included all the losers
too like murderers and stuff.....therefore it's not that impress....."



Hom: "....I banish you for your blasphemy!!!"



X: "NOOOOOoooooo!!!!"
(Image used for being dragged down to heck,
not because X is the devil or anything lol.)

Oliver: "OH stop being such a wimp, X!
It's only like 1,000,000 trillion degrees Celsius of heat down there, big deal!"

"HAHA HA, HAHA HA HA, HAHA HA, HAHA...."



Hom: "But don't worry X....even though I shall punish you for eternity....
remember this....."



"Hom loves all his children."


Pawnzor: "That's my line."



X: "But but....it burns!!!"


Hom: "Uh uh! No buts!"


X: "OH COME ON!! THERE'S LIKE.....NO SIGNAL DOWN HERE!
NO WIFI FOR ETERNITY !!! "


Him and Mojo Jojo:


Oliver: "Hey....that IS pretty evil....."
"Almost as bad as being forced to count the number of stars in the universe
while listening to Baby by Justin Bieber in an echo chamber ! "



Hom: "SHADAAAAAAAP.............NERD."



Oliver: "BUT BUT....do you realise how many protostars there are out there !!!! ????  "


"I don't even wanna know what that means"



Where is Hom Choi anyway?

Random thought of the day:

Him vs Hom.

I tried to make Hom look older than everyone else and the character creation in this game isn't exactly The Sims. You do have hundreds of colour options for your character's hair and skin (and more like 50 for the eye colours), but the model options aren't exactly that... wide. One of the official survival guides say that you will unlock more options as you play, but due to the game's size, you can only have one save file at a time (I know, kinda annoying. Especially considering the original Xenoblade had 3 save files), but I think you can customise your character while playing, but I don't know that for sure. Just a guess.

If I have to start again if I unlock some options that I think look cool, then whatever. You have a limited time until the Lifehold Core's back-up power runs out, meaning the end of the known human race (hence why finding it is top priority. No one knew it would take 2 years to find a new home, so everyone, passengers and crew, went into stasis and remotely control these androids. The ship was destroyed while entering Mira's atmosphere). You start at 60% power as the game starts 2 months after the crash and I'm upto 41% and I'm only at Chapter 6 of idk how many.

BACK ON TOPIC! ...Actually I think that's it...

Maybe Google?

" xenoblade chronicles x make more than one profile "

without quotes.

If that helps ya.

Maybe... but I doubt it.

EDIT: Ok, so it seems that because the game is so vast, it almost needed 2 game discs. So multiple saves is probably out of the question. Plus the game, although it can be played offline, is designed to be playable online, which means logging into your Miiverse account. Having more than one save file could mess the online ability up a bit but I don't know. I heard a suggestion that you could make a new Nintendo Network ID, but I highly doubt that would help.

Honestly, I'm in no rush. The stasis back-up seems to go down 1% each hour and who's to say finding the last of the humans means the game is complete?

Ok, so I finally got my Skell license today (and already broke my Skell about 3 times... ) and Skells, along with BLADE (which act as ambassadors, police, army, explorers, etc. and stands for "Builders of a Legacy After the Destruction of Earth) is starting to make me think that this is in a way, a 7 Legends game.

Now if only the 7 Legends' exosuits could fly for more than a few seconds... Anyway, mah Skell...

Spoiler:

ALSOOOOO I love the new Christmas layout!

AND out of total boredom today (blame a certain someone... ), I tried to recreate the main party members from the original Xenoblade (minus Riki because you can't play as a Nopon ;-; )...

Shulk:

Reyn:

Fiora:

Sharla:

Dunban:

Melia:

I know some of these aren't as accurate as they could be (Shulk's hair colour or Sharla's skin, etc.), but hey. This was mainly a rushed thing.

You talking about anything Xenoblade related is like
me talking about Devil May Cry (reboot) to you
and like you talking about the history of Mario Brothers....

It's like a different language.  
No comprendeh amigo.

I don't even remember much about the history of Mario.

As for Xenoblade, it's really a series you have to experience for yourself. Now brb, designing Skells for the 7 Legends.
