Sounds lovely, but very unlikely. Im hoping there are some expansions though. Because the game was so experimental there are some obvious flaws that could be polished. One such flaw is the faction system, which is introduced to you early on as something important, but just becomes online-updated background noise. This does make me curious what an online overhaul for X would look like. Will we actually get a city development mechanic for the empty half of the city?

I think XCX as a multiplayer game would negatively effect the individual experience, and so I doubt the networking tests are related. The single player experience of exploring the world of Mira would be diminished if other players could fill in your map, but if you could have your friends join your team then that would probably be fun in its own way depending on how it is implemented. The previous title only had copied segments of Mira's map for squad missions with small simplistic objectives, so it was short-lived and limited to 4 players. They also had raid bosses with server-shared health pools, which were not much different. The only other online feature was squads and squad tasks, basically shared counters on a timer to complete shared objectives like finding specific collectables or defeating specific enemies. Both of these were tuned to provide you tickets to trade for materials, affinity for NPC party members, and BP for leveling up skills and arts. Any attempt to heavily modify these systems would completely change the experience or balance of the game, and I don't think that is their goal. However, it is possible that they have plans to extend and "finish" the story, as suggested from the cutscene with Lao. It may be that they add new areas or a post-game multiplayer experience unlike the main story. I absolutely think a multiplayer focused post-game would make sense, as most MMO's really start when you hit the level cap. Other creators have suggested they might raise the level cap, which in traditional MMO fashion could be done 10 levels at a time, each as a DLC or "expansion" that could introduce new characters, arts, skills, equipment, etc. In doing this they could bring the level cap to 99 matching the other Xenoblade titles, while giving us content over the next few years. Of course your observations about past tech demos being years in advance, maybe that is a sign that most of these will be present in XCX2, which might be in development but won't release until years into the future.

I know this is gonna sound crazy, but when I heard what the PlayTest was about I had a feeling it was Xenoblade Chronicles X, it sounded just like aspects of Xenoblade

Yo, cool video. I feel like I'd be more inclined to think it could be a test for an X2 rather than changing that much about the base game. Also just wanted to let you know that your channel is flagged "for kids" and the subscription bell is disabled.

Cool theory but the playtest program nsp is too small though, it's like 25MB.

No, the online test program had like 75 songs datamined from its files. This is separate from xenoblade.

This game needs a lot of improvements before they add multiplayer.

I think it's related to pokemon, they seen Palworld and got inspired

It would be cool but I doubt it. XCX multiplayer was very limited and separate from the main game.

>English >Pronounces Xenoblade like an American Shame

Game couldve been better. Biggest shock in the game was when you found out your an android with your old body consciousness. The cliff hanger at the end was bleh.

Screenshots & video of the playtest show it's nothing like Xenoblade X. Much more like Roblox or Minecraft. Massive emphasis on User Generated content

There is a noticeable upgrade to the graphics though, it certainly looks alot sharper then it did on switch. as for the online I would be perfectly happy to have 4 player multiplayer lobbies in the same vein as MHGU where you pick a mission, complete it with players in your lobby, then return to the lobby to select another mission. I remember doing a couple of co-op missions ON the Wii-u but after completing it the lobby would automatically disband and you have to set up a whole new one to do another mission.

No ite fucking not

I hope you're right, when I bought this game back in the day I assumed it was going to be an MMO, tried to play through it but lost interest as I realized what the actual multiplayer features were.

Can only hope!

Probably for X2. They mention in X that they want to expand frontierNav to other planets. Probably in X2 we'll have other planets to explore besides Mira and we'll have to expand the network to these planets as well

The eShop page mentions play with up to 32 people.

Sounds plausible. But Monolithsoft would totally port X as is with the DLC. They are working on a new IP as well as the next Xenoblade game and the X port is meant to pad out Switch 1's release schedule. Your idea was the original plan for X, to make it more of an MMO with that idea in mind. So maybe they could have something lined up for Switch 2 based off that idea with X2.

i've always thought that it's weird for nintendo to not have a proper mmo game, and that a port of xenoblade x would be their golden ticket for that. though i think if that were the case, they'd at least have shown that in the announcement trailer instead of focusing solely on the story aspect.

I would like online be gone forever from Xenoblade

As long as they do not destroy the solo experience i do not mind what they do with online functionality

I've also seen the listing on the Nintendo website saying it will support up to 32 players!

I think it's more likely the playtested for the Switch 2 Online Servers. And you are already way overhyping the game. There will probably be some new online stuff, but I'd more expect soemthing like a new Nemesis boss and some new missions. It's probably still a lot of work to make the online features work, but I wouldn't get my hopes up.

Hi, you might not even see this, but i am in direct content with one of the "highest performing" players in the Playtest. Having seen most of their progress, but without getting myself or them in trouble, i can clearly state that while its capabilites and especially its interaction methods feel a bit like Xenoblade X, but this is clearly intended to be a new IP. It is essentially capitalizing on what Lego Fortnite wanted to be. I do not know why you think that the game is not in a releaseable state, as most players in that game agree upon the game being in a very well constructed state, and even are rallying for it to get released right after the playtest ends. It is linked somewhat with Xenoblade X, in terms of testing server stability, as i can attest from Xenoblade X on the WiiU, that disconnects were frequent. Being part of the final players after the wiiu online shutdown, i can now wholly attest that it was due to servers being overloaded, since when the game was active, disconnects were much more frequent, as opposed to when less players were active. We are clearly getting dedicated servers in the future, a new social media system and most importantly a nintendo exclusive MMO-type Lego Fortnite improvement.

I hate the Nintendo online service to me it's just a way to squeeze the wallets of Retro Nintendo fans especially as the online games seem to be missing a lot features like commution and besides I do see any online games I would want to play so it's not worth it for me just for Xenoblade X.

I never used the online mode and honestly didn't really know how it works it looked so annoying to use so I never bothered with it.

If this gets done, please let us at least finish the story 'offline'.

Xenoblade X doesnt need the same graphical overhaul, its more a performance increase, better draw distance, higher framerate, higher resolution etc. The only thing they should do is what they wanted to do the first time around - implementing the mmo-like feeling and adding more story. Though part of me thinks that they wont be expanding on the online features, and if they do you will need the online membership which alot of people dont have. So for the most part, X will just be performance improvements & new story. I do think however that the recent online playtest was not for X, but an upcoming Switch 2 game, possibly even the next Monolith Soft game.

Yeah, no. Switch online is just garbage. You are better off just emulating the game and joining the non-nintendo server.

Thats a hard strech , especially considering that in the original XCX you do nothing of that actually online with other players , you do it mostly locally and you can have Online Avatars of others with you , but the Server communication is just a bare minimum. That said , if they would actually make XCXDE fully online playable in the actual overworld , then it would still be very limited in player count. But yeah them using collected data from XCXDE online for whatever they want to change in NSO or for whatever game they have planned , makes sense.

I love the Xeno series, I own all Monolith games (and all Xeno-games including Xenogears and Xenosaga) - even every CE of their games. I bought Chronicles X at launch for the WiiU and for some reason it is the only game I have never played. I am so much looking forward to finally experience this game on the Switch (or maybe its successor) next year.

i think people need to understand that the nso play test is not a prototype at all. this game is very likely going to release the next year and it's not a test for something else... I just can't believe people are so naiv to believe this. Also this is video is spreading fan boy conspiracs theories...

No, the Playtest Program is a nearly finished game, I have no idea why everyone keeps saying it's a prototype. It needs a better tutorial, progression, and a few extra features but that's pretty much it.

I'd love for this to be the case, as I've wished for a full online functionality since the initial release, but I just can't see Monolith Soft doing a complete overhaul. I think its more likely that, if the playtest is related at all, it might be for an X2 down the line

I just hope XCX DE won't have body type A|B instead of male/female.

The entire premise for Xenoblade Chronicles X is that all these different Blade teams are running around performing tasks. Some focus more on exploration, some are taking on Titan class enemies, etc. Whether or not anything too ambitious happens, I don't know. Nintendo would actually need to provide real servers to pull this off. They've never done anything other than ad hoc for any of their games. It would be cool and this would definitely be the ideal game to do it, but far too many UA-camrs read way too much into everything and get everyones hopes up so, I don't know.

Just so everyone knows, Xenoblade X was inspired by Phantasy Star Online (ep 1 & 2, Universe and Portable) they wanted it to be Online from the start but couldn’t figure it out. Xenoblade X then inspired Phantasy Star New Genesis so it ended up working both ways. Thank you Monolith and SEGA!

Its official. Nintendo fans have lost their minds.

Yeah, not buying the story. Their little playtest has nothing to do with XCX.

I hope u're wrong. can't see XCX beeing fully mmo as a good thing. Tyrant farming ☠

honestly, if XCX was an online MMO, I'm ok with that. I've been wanting to play this game with the online experience anyway. I have it on WiiU and quickly got bored of playing by myself lol

I'm a playtester. The planet the test is on is named PNF-404. There is also a central hub with access to challenge zones, mini games like tank battles, and an aptitude test held at certain times that allows players to make user generated costumes. This may or may not mean anything at the end of the day.

theyll add water combat
