Xenoblade Chronicles X (former X from Monolith Soft)

[Rahdulan]

And here we go.

 

[Mark.L.Joy]

Any improvements or it's just improvamentashions to sell it again

 

[Rahdulan]

Character visual changes for sure, but they didn't really show any systems in the trailer.

 

[Damned Registrations]

Uh, which one of those is the 'improved' version? Because the background is utterly fucked in the second one and the character is glowing like a night light.

 

[Elttharion]

Apparently its based on the censored NA version.

This game is based on the Western version of "Xenoblade Chronicles X" released for Wii U, and is a worldwide specification.

That's too bad. At least they're making it known now instead of letting players find out the hard way. How extensive were the changes to XCX anyway? I remember they also based the TMS Switch port on its NA version (while not advertising this fact), and the changes Treehouse made for NA had been so extensive that when it was first confirmed Nintendo of Japan ended up apologizing and allowing JP players to return their copies/cancel their pre-orders w/ full refunds.

IIRC no boob slider for the female character and at least one of the characters had her outfits censored so that she was fully covered.

Also, if I'm not mistaken, the localization made sure to remove a lot of religious references and terms, as well as changing the name of certain elements to make them sound "cooler". For example, the mechs went from being called Dolls (called so because of being made humanoid yet serving as nothing more than tools, which ties to the plot of the game) to Skells (exoskelletons)

And here we go.

At least I don't have to emulate the damn thing on my PC now, or get a used Wii U.

 

[Reinhardt]

at least i will be able to emulate it on my pc

Great, now I can definitely not buy it.

 

[I eat frozen vegetables]

I wouldn't be surprised if someone made an uncensor patch for the Switch version.

 

[Talby]

I'm so stoked bros. X is my favourite in the series, and my Wii U broke last year.

 

[Ontopoly]

Bounced off of all the other Xenoblade chronicle games but this one kept my attention and I was able to beat it. Some annoying parts that required me to grind side content to complete the main quest but that's because I tend to B line main stories. If you liked the other games or are interested in games like this I could recommend it. I would certainly recommend it above any of the other games. I wouldn't recommend it to people on the fence though. The game is nothing special

 

[Yuber]

If I liked Xenoblade 1 but dislike 2 and hated 3, can I have fun with this one?

This is the codex, obviously the better version is the one with the lighter character model

 

[Talby]

There's a few QOL features

If I liked Xenoblade 1 but dislike 2 and hated 3, can I have fun with this one?

It's much better than 2 or 3. The characters are better although still fall into a lot of anime tropes, and the plot is a standalone scifi one instead of the convoluted nonsense of the main series. There's also cool stuff like the skells and a more open and interesting world.

 

[Grampy_Bone]

Looks like a barebones port, and you'll lose the gamepad UI. Still, oughta be ok.

 

[deuxhero]

Official Japanese website confirms it's based on NA release, and thus censored shit. Into the trash it goes.

Also, if I'm not mistaken, the localization made sure to remove a lot of religious references and terms, as well as changing the name of certain elements to make them sound "cooler". For example, the mechs went from being called Dolls (called so because of being made humanoid yet serving as nothing more than tools, which ties to the plot of the game) to Skells (exoskelletons)

And they also forgot to change the quest names with "Doll" in them because whoever was making these changes was doing it to justify their job, not because it was needed
