One thing I always really was sad about playing the original was I kept thinking “man...this game REALLY deserves to be played in higher rez than 480p.” I am not a graphic nut, but I could not help thinking this the whole way while playing it for Wii. Also, Satorl Marsh night music...
Mikie Kelly yes I know. I was trying to say back then I wished the game were higher rez because the world was so beautiful edit: Oops I made a typo lol sorry about that!
Everything look great but I still have some concern about the battle mechanic that relying too much on the level between you and enemies, if they fix that or have some difficulties options like XC2 then it'll be perfect.
Lord Ozzie amen friend, it really is the best decision made and another great decision Nintendo made unlike Bandai and square is that Nintendo gave them more freedom for Monolithsoft to do their own thing without much interference.
@Audiovisual sony microsoft need to purchase studios to make exclusives for their consoles. Nintendo doesnt because they make their own and they are pretty damn good
@Audiovisual Nope. They should hire studios to port older games such as The Last Story, Sin & Punishment Star Sucessor, Skyward Sword, Baiten Kaitos, FZERO GX, Mario Kart Double Dash, Pokémon DS Collection, Madworld, No More Heroes 1+2 to Switch as remaster in higher definition and use internal studios full force to develop new games between releases of ports.
Almost a decade ago, fans started "Operation Rainfall" to bring 3 JRPGs to North American Wii owners, one of which was Xenoblade Chronicles. It took over a year of convincing, but Nintendo finally released Xenoblade Chronicles in NA. Since then, we've gotten two more mainline Xenoblade games, a 3ds port of Chronicles 1, and a full blown expansion. And now we are getting a remake of 1. I think we owe a lot to those fans who started Operation Rainfall, and to be honest, so does Nintendo.
Geez thanks for making them bring over the gay version with the UK voice acting. If it really was for the NA we would have had an american shulk instead.
@@chaikagaz But you can't have Shulk without the British voice actor. It's like eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich without any bread, it just doesn't work without the other.
I wish they did better voice acting in the XC2 game, they did better in the expansion but the vanilla story could’ve been better. I look forward to this as well!
@crazy anime gamer777 nia's voice in English, and malos' especially are just too good to play the game in Japanese. As well as zeke, pandoria, and pyra
The weakest element of XC2 was not the art style but the animations. They just aren't as expressive as they could be which is somewhat of an issue for a series as dramatic as this one. It wasn't that much better than the original but there the low resolution of the Wii and the dark atmosphere kind of hid it. With the resolution of the Switch and the bright colors it's on full display.
Ok, I can't be the only one that thought them talking about the newly recorded music and immersion then having Shulk jump off a cliff was freaking hilarious right?
This will be my first time playing as well! My first Xenoblade game was XC2 and man I really loved it! I've heard many people say this Xenoblade was better than the second one so words can't describe how excited I am!
wiltedstar you don't think it's that good? XC2 was my favorite game of the last decade, with only The Last of Us and Uncharted 4 standing between it and XC, although this remake may earn it an even higher spot on my all-time best list!
That’s what they’re hinting at now anyways. I figured Alvis would be, with the way it was set up, and both Earths from 1 and 2 being terraformed at I would say around the same time
The animation for the Bionis vs Mechonis is legitimately astounding. The detail on their bodies and the way they crumble when struck is just so gorgeous Monolith Soft really went all out and I cannot wait to play it
@@ArmandoHernandez-ch4ul I don't know what else the OP would be referring to. Pretty sure he meant exactly what he said. Animations are exactly the same with updated textures and shadow rendering.

I hope they include the feature from 2 were when you killed a unique monster, they'd not respawn and leave a tombstone behind and you could fight them whenever.
@Rex The content that was left out of the last game is being reimplemented without being dlc. Meanwhile, pokemon is making content that previously, would've been free cost money
This is THE best remake of the year: - New Story - New Graphics and Models ( DID YOU SEE THE OPENING CINEMATIC ) - New area - 90 remastered tracks (WHAT?!?!?) - Limited Edition This game might even be game of the year
Hopefully, the third time is the last, and it has to be in the greatest way, not a port but a remake So if people didnt care about it on wii nor 3ds... Nos is the time to realize what they have been missing
Hopefully this game gets the attention it deserves. enoblade chronicles 2 was literally forgotten about by the people running the game awards, what a joke
The Best Game of RPG in trilogie of Xenoblade Chronicles. Only that. The music, Characters, Maps, History, Objets, Quests, Monsters. A Legendary Game !! 😍😍😍😍😍
It was actually perfectly clear from the beginnig of the first teaser that this is not a simple port. I don't know, I think people lack brain nowadays.
@@chocolatephone7840 Yes but it wasn't clear how good it would look. Seeing them in motion in cutscenes makes them look so much better. It's a pretty major upgrade rather than just an HD remaster.
Shoutout to all the people who supported project rainfall like me back in the day. So people could enjoy this game and see it become a mainstream franchise.
I don't remember how I heard about the whole thing but from the bottom of my heart thank you, Xenoblade is top two of all time for me and Last Story was really fun. I never imagined at the time I originally played Xenoblade that it would 3 rereleases, a spin off, and a sequal. Even though none of them come close to the original in story in my mind, they are all super fun.
@@MfROb The 3 games are Xenoblade Chronicles, The Last Story and Pandora's Tower. I am so glad i did support it cause Xenoblade is quite easily one of my favorite games ever and if it was not for that petition i and many others would not have experienced it.
Honestly seeing all of these project rainfall supporters not only get Xenoblade over to the west, but getting a whole new series out of it, Shulk getting into Smash, and now getting a remake of the first Xenoblade must be like the most incredible thing ever for you guys. I can't even imagine 😅. Regardless, I cannot wait for this remake!
the people who don't own nintendo switch ofcourse. this game will still sell underwhelming regardless of how good it is, unless the developer decide to go out to every platform and not constrained in 1 platform only.
TheCrescentKnight In Melia’s case... Shulk did have his true love, and she was the entire purpose of the quest. But what happened to Nia is unforgivable
Honestly this is why monolithsoft is one of the best out there they give us a full gorgeous remake with a new adventure at the end. They didn't have to go this hard for us but they did. Thank you.
I'm just here at home crying because this masterpiece is about to be played again such a beautiful story and characters music made to perfection every detail in this game is amazing I grew up with this game while in high school
@@preKettled Why would the change the entire game based on something like that? Their not gonna do that, if anything they might go into it a bit more in the epilogue but their not gonna change the whole game.
This sounds like a cheesy generic Action RPG but I promise you the more you play, the more you get invested. I highly recommend this to anyone who is remotely interested
1:38 anyone notice anything interesting about Alvis in this game? Because there’s a new little thing in his design that ties a lot of stuff in the series together
Nice catch, . It only makes sense with all the hints they dropped. Maybe in the epilogue we'll get an interesting reunion xD. Spoiler below* When i saw the purple portal I immediately thought of Malos/Logos, maybe he's not completely dead and he'll be the mini villain for the story.
Protoi judging by the fact that they’re calling it an “epilogue” it’s probably after the main story, but on the very off chance it isn’t I’d love Malos to join as a super secret 8th party member
I couldn't even find any comments on the direct talking about this masterpiece. Instead they were being salty that there's no botw2, but honestly, while I love the zelda series, and this may come out as an unpopular opinion, I was more hyped for xenoblade de than I was for botw2. I just really want a skyward sword hd. But yeah, this game was perfect to begin with and is still perfect after 10 years.
@@louiepikmin3184 Hey, same thing happened with Metroid. But Prime 4 is coming out so Pikmin is pretty likely at this point. ... Just gotta wait for the reveal.
A lot of people myself included theorized this was the case back in XC2. So it's nice that we got a confirmation it. And nice to see what color his trinity processor looks like. So we got green for Pyra/Mythra, purple for Malos, and red for Alvis.
Hopefully the “Lost story” is given the cutscene it deserves. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, read it it’s amazing. Also hope in NG+ we can adjust our level..
@@saininj If you want to scratch that itch, and have a wii u, its on there for $20, and 3ds as well. but yeah i cant wait for more people to play this amazing game
The design and direction of the game are definitely two major areas that make Xenoblade stand tall amongst JRPG's, but man, the voice cast of this game just propels it into outer space!
I was tearing up when this was announced. Now I'm crying a river. I hope I can afford this game and a Switch, but due to nowaday events I'm not sure.... AHHHHH IM SO EXCITED THO!!!!
And better... and you can actually believe that they can do the things they can do in the cutscenes with the battlesystem in Xenoblade 1 compared to 2. Not being able to jump/move while auto-attacking is stupid.
Naw imo Xenoblade 2 has the superior combat, and in 2 fundamentally it makes sense as too why you stationary with your auto attacks. Theirs so much going on in 2's combat, that moving around just wouldn't work in 2's combat. And once you get the hang of it, it's very fast paced and flexible.
@@slobertooth1358 Xenoblade 2 battle system will never be considered "fast-paced". And we've all played it guy, we don't need you to explain it to us LOL
@@beezusHrist My apologies then, tho personally I consider it really fun and fast paced once you get the hang of it. And as much as I LOVE 2's combat, Torna's is even better. Have you played Torna? Torna's combat is improved and even MORE fast paced! It's incredible! Best dlc I've personally ever played.
@@slobertooth1358 I do see how the combat system in XC2 has some interesting and satisfying aspects such as gaining orbs to perform a powerful full burst chain attacks and staying close between Drivers and Blades to charge up the Special Meter. However, as spamming specials and full burst attacks are the only strategies I used throughout the game, the game slowly become a no-brainer for me. However, in XC1, there's skills that debuff and inflict status effects on enemies, and buff your team. I'm well aware such skills existed in XC2 too, but it weren't widely used since you can just use Specials to defeat the enemies quicker, and the skills weren't feel effective as well. In XC1, the Vision mechanics constantly pushed you to think quicker and change your strategies in order to prevent your team from getting killed. And the skills in XC1 were more diverse and useful than XC2 in my view, which allowed me to come up with different strategies on different bosses and enemies. But hey everyone view things differently. So while I preferred the combat system in XC1 than XC2, I respect your opinion and I do see the fun in XC2.
Same as you. Climbed onboard the fanbase with 2 and LOOOOOVED it. Now I can't wait to try the original. And hopefully, XCX gets a remake so I can try it too. I need to play every single Xenoblade game
You can see a very tiny cross red crystal on his chest. Like Pnuema and Ontos they have on but much bigger than Alivis' in the original it looked like it was a key but due to the high resolution... We're in for a treat
Shulk, Reyn, Dunban, Fiora....and....MELIA OMG, you did a great job at making them look excellent. This will easily be one of the games that I pass down to the next generation. No one should ever forget this game, and the amount of joy, memories, and feelings it has caused for each and everyone of us. May Xenoblade be remembered throughout the next millenia and so on. It is our duty to share this game with our family and peers. Xenoblade, truly a masterpiece it is. Amazing OST, unforgettable characters, mind-bending plot, and most importantly, what games are for...the gameplay. This game shines in the JRPG community, it is a free roam game, and it isn't quite turnbased however it has cool down for arts and auto attacks. It isn't your typical JRPG. It's something more than that. A treasure that can be passed on. An unforgettable game to say the very least. This is the type of game that needs to be brought up more to people. This. Is. Xenoblade. Thankyou Monolithsoft and Nintendo for your hard work that should shine bright throughout the ages. You have my upmost gratitude. Thankyou. Sincerely~Alex, your biggest Xenoblade Chronicles fan
The characters all look so good, plus there are new remixes AND an epilogue. Seriously, I just can't wait to get this game immediately as soon as it releases. This game already looks so awesome.
"Now you can fully immerse in the majesty of the world"

Pokémon:
@Rex The content that was left out of the last game is being reimplemented without being dlc. Meanwhile, pokemon is making content that previously, would've been free cost money
pokemon: cuts old content from remakes.
I'm looking at you, battle frontier
Gamefreak is to Monolith what paper airplanes are to space shuttles.
To be fair, adding content to a remake is kind of a necessity...
But then, recent Pokémon remakes somehow have had less content than the originals.
@wing take me back to gen 5 where pokemon was at its peak.
This is THE best remake of the year:
- New Story
- New Graphics and Models ( DID YOU SEE THE OPENING CINEMATIC )
- New area
- 90 remastered tracks (WHAT?!?!?)
- Limited Edition
This game might even be game of the year
Yesss
Hopefully, the third time is the last, and it has to be in the greatest way, not a port but a remake
So if people didnt care about it on wii nor 3ds... Nos is the time to realize what they have been missing
The reason they’re releasing it now is so Xenoblade Chronicles can be game of the decade 2 decades in a row
Hopefully this game gets the attention it deserves. enoblade chronicles 2 was literally forgotten about by the people running the game awards, what a joke
@@blyarin5825 what a bunch of jokers

Shoutout to all the people who called this “just a port”
It was actually perfectly clear from the beginnig of the first teaser that this is not a simple port. I don't know, I think people lack brain nowadays.
@@john-henric The first trailer was so brief that it wasn't clear to the extent of the improvements. They look significant now though.
@@garywood97 but since the reveal you can see that the models of the characters are totally different form the original, thats just not a remaster
@@chocolatephone7840 Yes but it wasn't clear how good it would look. Seeing them in motion in cutscenes makes them look so much better. It's a pretty major upgrade rather than just an HD remaster.
Shoutout to all the people saying "it's just a remaster."
Shoutout to all the people who supported project rainfall like me back in the day. So people could enjoy this game and see it become a mainstream franchise.
I don't remember how I heard about the whole thing but from the bottom of my heart thank you, Xenoblade is top two of all time for me and Last Story was really fun. I never imagined at the time I originally played Xenoblade that it would 3 rereleases, a spin off, and a sequal. Even though none of them come close to the original in story in my mind, they are all super fun.
Wats project rainfall?
@@chaikagaz it was a petition to bring over some japan exclusive games to the west. Don't remember the other two games but xenoblade was one of them.
@@MfROb The 3 games are Xenoblade Chronicles, The Last Story and Pandora's Tower. I am so glad i did support it cause Xenoblade is quite easily one of my favorite games ever and if it was not for that petition i and many others would not have experienced it.
Honestly seeing all of these project rainfall supporters not only get Xenoblade over to the west, but getting a whole new series out of it, Shulk getting into Smash, and now getting a remake of the first Xenoblade must be like the most incredible thing ever for you guys. I can't even imagine 😅. Regardless, I cannot wait for this remake!
I love this world because Xenoblade is in it
I LITERALLY. STARTED CRYING. THIS IS WHAT I'VE WANTED FOR YEARS. THIS GAME. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH

From Project Rainfall to this. We have come a long way fans :)
For sure....
1:38 anyone notice anything interesting about Alvis in this game? Because there’s a new little thing in his design that ties a lot of stuff in the series together
Nice catch, . It only makes sense with all the hints they dropped. Maybe in the epilogue we'll get an interesting reunion xD. Spoiler below*
When i saw the purple portal I immediately thought of Malos/Logos, maybe he's not completely dead and he'll be the mini villain for the story.
Protoi judging by the fact that they’re calling it an “epilogue” it’s probably after the main story, but on the very off chance it isn’t I’d love Malos to join as a super secret 8th party member
So can be a canon reunion with rex
Xenoblade you truly have lifted up my spirit in these dark times and you know it's not even first time you help me :D
This is going to be a beautiful experience
Didn't expect to find you here
I couldn't even find any comments on the direct talking about this masterpiece. Instead they were being salty that there's no botw2, but honestly, while I love the zelda series, and this may come out as an unpopular opinion, I was more hyped for xenoblade de than I was for botw2. I just really want a skyward sword hd. But yeah, this game was perfect to begin with and is still perfect after 10 years.
@Finn The Goldfish It's been SO long. The last game was a spinoff game which took away every part of what made pikmin fun. And that was 5 years ago.

@@MrEmberCraft Thanks :D
A lot of people myself included theorized this was the case back in XC2. So it's nice that we got a confirmation it. And nice to see what color his trinity processor looks like. So we got green for Pyra/Mythra, purple for Malos, and red for Alvis.
I cannot wait to see the scene:
"Your blade... It did not cut deep enough."
The original "you should've gone for the head"
@@Boiadaust yes
Shulk used too much Slit Edge art lol
This Engage the Enemy remix sounds so glorious and beautiful. I don’t know how to describe it but it makes me feel spiritually connected or something.
Hopefully the “Lost story” is given the cutscene it deserves. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, read it it’s amazing. Also hope in NG+ we can adjust our level..
For real though. I was hoping to grab it on Wii, but I was a broke college student at the time, so I missed my chance. I really want to play it.

IT COMES OUT ON MY BDAY LETS GOOOO
I'm glad they kept the original battle system in the remake as it's more fast-paced and flexible than XC2 in my opinion.
And better... and you can actually believe that they can do the things they can do in the cutscenes with the battlesystem in Xenoblade 1 compared to 2. Not being able to jump/move while auto-attacking is stupid.
Naw imo Xenoblade 2 has the superior combat, and in 2 fundamentally it makes sense as too why you stationary with your auto attacks. Theirs so much going on in 2's combat, that moving around just wouldn't work in 2's combat. And once you get the hang of it, it's very fast paced and flexible.
@@slobertooth1358 Xenoblade 2 battle system will never be considered "fast-paced". And we've all played it guy, we don't need you to explain it to us LOL
@@beezusHrist My apologies then, tho personally I consider it really fun and fast paced once you get the hang of it. And as much as I LOVE 2's combat, Torna's is even better. Have you played Torna? Torna's combat is improved and even MORE fast paced! It's incredible! Best dlc I've personally ever played.
@@slobertooth1358 I do see how the combat system in XC2 has some interesting and satisfying aspects such as gaining orbs to perform a powerful full burst chain attacks and staying close between Drivers and Blades to charge up the Special Meter. However, as spamming specials and full burst attacks are the only strategies I used throughout the game, the game slowly become a no-brainer for me. However, in XC1, there's skills that debuff and inflict status effects on enemies, and buff your team. I'm well aware such skills existed in XC2 too, but it weren't widely used since you can just use Specials to defeat the enemies quicker, and the skills weren't feel effective as well. In XC1, the Vision mechanics constantly pushed you to think quicker and change your strategies in order to prevent your team from getting killed. And the skills in XC1 were more diverse and useful than XC2 in my view, which allowed me to come up with different strategies on different bosses and enemies. But hey everyone view things differently. So while I preferred the combat system in XC1 than XC2, I respect your opinion and I do see the fun in XC2.
Hey look! That boy from Smash Bros. is finally getting his own game!
I am jealous to the people going to do this game for the first time XD

@@boltonatorsaomd9368 Yeah mine too

Same as you. Climbed onboard the fanbase with 2 and LOOOOOVED it. Now I can't wait to try the original. And hopefully, XCX gets a remake so I can try it too. I need to play every single Xenoblade game
If you like 2 you are going to like this one, i think XC 1 is waay better than XC2 but both are pretty good
Xenoblade Chronicles 1 is even better tbh, you're going to absolitely love it.
@Laura S. Well imo Xenoblade 2's combat system is way better than 1's but 1's combat is still good too.

No one should ever forget this game, and the amount of joy, memories, and feelings it has caused for each and everyone of us. May Xenoblade be remembered throughout the next millenia and so on. It is our duty to share this game with our family and peers. Xenoblade, truly a masterpiece it is. Amazing OST, unforgettable characters, mind-bending plot, and most importantly, what games are for...the gameplay. This game shines in the JRPG community, it is a free roam game, and it isn't quite turnbased however it has cool down for arts and auto attacks. It isn't your typical JRPG. It's something more than that. A treasure that can be passed on. An unforgettable game to say the very least. This is the type of game that needs to be brought up more to people. This. Is. Xenoblade. Thankyou Monolithsoft and Nintendo for your hard work that should shine bright throughout the ages. You have my upmost gratitude. Thankyou. Sincerely~Alex, your biggest Xenoblade Chronicles fan
