Do we even have digital sales of Xeno X? (vgchartz guesses 0.84million without digital)
Correct me if I'm wrong. But I thought the case was that "Rook" was the Avatar's Default Name in the US but "Cross" in Japan.
Sadly, we don't have any complete sales data for Xenoblade Chronicles and Xenoblade Chronicles X. In terms of digital sales, the only known data we have is Famitsu's estimate of ~20k digital copies for the first month in Japan.
There isn't one as far as I'm aware. Someone should create one if there isn't such a channel.
If we want Elma in, we'll need a more active community hub tbh. It helps to have a more intimate relationship with the supporters and more can be done to support the character.
I was expecting there to be atleast one newcomer reveal during the direct, and would have been surprised if there wasn't TBH. Smash IS easily NIntendo's biggest title for the year and perhaps even beyond, so it would make sense they would want to keep the hype alive and announce atleast one character per month or something.
Yo, I'll join that Discord, if anyone makes it. Or I can, if nobody else does.
Yea, I was just about to mention this.
How dare you point a gun at Bandana Dee. I might revoke my support because of that.Hi guys, I came here to support you guys. My condolences to those who were affected by the earthquake. I hope their recovery is swift and fast. So, I don't mind waiting a bit longer for the Direct to come out. It can wait.
I hope you guys get your wish fulfilled. I think she could be an cool character to play with. I made an picture of Elma fighting with various potential newcomers.

I suppose that Lyn, Tatsu, L, Gwin, Doug and Irina are locks considering they are the "main" party. But I could also see the other playable characters, Vandham, the President (I forgot his name) and some monsters and Tyrants. Plus I would love some of those enviromental trophy for each continent and Neo L.A.
It's funny, after putting a lot of time into Xenoblade 2 (I put 300 hours into X, I've put nearly 800 into 2), I feel like I'd be happy for Rex & Pyra to get in over Elma, although the base game argument is completely valid. After getting Elma as a DLC blade and having Shulk, Elma, Rex and Pyra/Mythra in a team together, with either 'You will know our names' or 'uncontrollable' playing in battles, I REEEEALLY want all 3 main characters in the game - if I have to wait for DLC to make that a reality, then so be it. But Elma and Rex should both be in this game by DLC's end. There are so many unique things they can do with both characters.
It may be a mixture of both. There is no doubt that the direct contained a Smash reveal - it's the done thing in a direct - but also, if the earthquake has affected Nintendo and its employees, that likely means it has affected Sakurai's team as well. I hope all affected will recover from this - I can't imagine what they must be going through.
I could really see this being the case. Xenoblade has really become a strong franchise for Nintendo that they seem to be more than happy to push. With the three main protagonists in the game they’d be representing pretty much all aspects of it.
I hope we get trophy sets like Wii U had, just so we can have one with Vangarre, Vandham and Vandham.
XenobladeJP didn't update either... They have been making daily updates for Torna ~ The Golden Country since August. That means their update was either tied to a trailer for TTGC or...something related to Smash?
The only "default name" that may exist is Avatar or <blank space> as indicated when the naming convention shows up. The character is only called "Cross" and some other names in Japanese trailers. Everywhere else, the character has been shown with multiple names, such as Amber or Grant. The character is referred to as "Avatar" on the game's website and in the artbook. The Avatar has never been referred to as "Cross" by the developers nor did they ever imply that the Avatar has a "canon" name.
Probably the regular Direct, since while being a cool addition she wouldn't steal the spotlight from the other announcements like Geno or King K. Rool would, and she might be paired with a X port announcment.Assuming Elma's in and there's this coming Direct and one Smash Direct left before release, which Direct do you guys think Elma is more likely to be revealed in?
The Smash blog has actually been running with a pattern of not updating on Friday's and Saturday's for quite a few weeks now.
I believe the missing update would’ve been the Thursday update
Just did a double check. You are correct sir. Or ma'am. I'm not one to assume.
I still don't think they'll be in the base game. As brought up in the video earlier in the thread, Xenoblade characters just aren't they type of characters that can be made from concept art like a Pokemon can.
And even with Pokémon games we talk about games that are releasing the year after the project plan, so games in the final stages of development. XC2 was at its early stages when Ultimate was planned, and the fact that Sakurai eloged the game when he played AFTER its release kinda confirms he didn't had that much knowledge of it before hand.
Why not have both?
I could think of several personal reasons, but I'll not go into those. They'd be really negative.
