''But did it actually, truly sold that? And what about the switch owners thirst, shouldn't we take that into consideration?''
You know what?
Numbered series AND X series. Also, Y and Z.
If the Switch family is to have a long life, I want it to be filled with Xenoblade games.
6's ending is very strong, shows a side of Pyra not seen again in the game, and leads to a strong ch7 opening
I don't think we do, but considering the middle of the road budget/ manpower, the sales of previous games and the performance of an average JRPG, I think they should be more than pleased.
Intro of chapter 10 is the coolest.
So cool that I want
a whole game dedicated to the conflict that was happening in that cutscene
Contrary to what people on this site might think, the style in XC2 actually makes it MORE appealing to audience around the world. It should have been obvious already by how much love the cast keeps receiving in terms of praise and art (especially compared to previous Xeno games) but now the title is even getting surprisingly solid legs based on good word of mouth.
Like it or not, the next XC game is probably going to follow a similar art direction due to the good reception (I personally just hope that MS polish some aspects and update a few mechanics).

The anime-inspired stylistic direction and the rendering is more than adequate.
However, we should get some different character designers and more restraint in terms of titillation.
No, but Nintendo generally doesn't post anything resembling sales expectations in the first place, even for their biggest titles. A non-major JRPG within spitting distance of 1.5 million after less than 6 months is a great result, though.
I think Xeno 2 is probably going to be an exception as we had seen its trajectory is not as same as other jrpg. It probably will have smaller legs compared to other evergreen though.
This.
Takahashi wants to explore different types of settings between each game, so I guess it's a possibility.
The only thing I can think of now is how will Takahashi introduce mechas in a medieval fantasy game.
They shipped more, which should tell you something about sell-through.
How many games let you farm superbosses to obtain a replica of android Mary Magdalene? Checkmate.
Touché.
There are so many great moments in the game.
Stand with me one more time, Burdened no longer, Enter Mythra.
Reminds me of some of the best bits of Xenoblade Chronicles ("I will strike you down and all that you have become, you wretched fool", "Your blade... It did not cut deep enough", "You will know the pain and suffering you caused"). Those hype moments that were all too rare in X.
The Birth of a Universe,

I'm pretty sure the 300k sold on the japanese market were due to Jin; literally Sephiroth with the Cloud's Advent Children VA.
Really pleased to see this series grow, hoping that they would actually do X sequel.
Sad, huh?
Or that the game is successful thanks to being a high quality game on a highly successful platform, being released worldwide with proper marketing effort.
Sad, huh?
Ah OK, sorry for not recognizing it.
It's really hard to tell with this game when it received so much hate and criticism on this forum and the one before.
Still slogging my way through this game. 105 hours and I think I'm fairly close to the end. One of those games that I enjoy playing for awhile then get bored with and put down for a couple of weeks. I always come back so I guess it's got some kind of hooks on me
The gacha is enough to pull u lol. In the end, we are all masochist in heart lol.
Well, Xenogears was pretty good with this but the other Xeno games not so much. I would be content if we could go back to their level, which is not a high bar to cross lol
What are the chances of Monolith Soft creating and releasing a new Xenoblade title before their new IP? For all we know, it might take several years to develop and release the new IP. I mean...they already have the foundation to quickly develop another Xenoblade title.
Good, people tried to down this one too and it broke a record. Vocal minority is more realer than ever
Why do you think that? Takahashi has never confirmed that he's working on the new IP. He explicitly said that he's thinking about making more Xenoblade titles.
Afaik the story in Xenoblade X is pretty lame and filled with uninspired sidequests, being the endgame the best part of the title by far. If they are going to launch it on Switch, I wish they would obviate the filler and give you acess to the endgame more quickly.
I would love a Xenoblade X: Directors Cut. Patch in a bunch of Quality of life fixes (Party XP for non-active members, ways to add them without hunting for them all over the place), and some closure to the ending. A few sidequests to tie up more loose ends wouldn't hurt either.
Glad to see its doing well, game deserves all its success.
Not surprisingly as always you got people trying to downplay the games success because it doesn't fit their criteria of what is acceptable. Glad to see a vocal minority is just that a minority and not representative of everyone else.

Before their new IP? I don't know.
I'm pretty sure they won't take too much time on either though, they're really efficient at handling titles.
