I really liked Maleficent....
Big Hero 6 was good.
I pre-ordered my Shulk amiibo as soon as I possibly could at full price.
Most impressive!
I forgot that I also need his weird... shoes for the cosplay. Maybe any ideas for that? ^^
Those are weird... Tbh, they look like slippers. They also look like swim shoes. Let's see what I can find online.
The slippers look like they could work, just with a little extra details custom made and you'll be able to proudly walk around in your Shulk slippers.
I'm glad I'm getting a Wii U on a date that's probably not far from this game's release
shhhh don't jinx it haha;; hope you enjoy your wii u
I don't know. Nintendo's been off and on this generation when it comes to release dates
Sounds so good, even though i'm a sucker for guitars I cannot deny that I love the cover.
I going to try to get first day release if we get a release date for the game that is.
No I don't think it will be like the shulk amiibo being sold out, unlike the amiibo you don't have to go to a store to buy it, Nintendo make games digital now so you and just download it if they don't have enough copies unlike the amiibo.
The
That would be really cool, even if she just makes a cameo appearance, like as a npc somewhere. It would be able to give us a general time frame between Xenoblade Chronicles and Xenoblade Chronicles X.
I'm really hoping they connect the storyline at least slightly to Xenoblade's. There's evidence that seems to suggest they will, but it could just be circumstance.
I think you should avoid spoilers for the game.
Well there are Chocobos in many Final Fantasy games
It is circumstantial evidence - means nothing if not backed up with other evidence. I must use spoilers for this discussion for it contains Xenoblade and maybe even Xenoblade X spoilers.
Makes you wonder why there are more cities, right? Neo LA is supposed to be the last hope of humanity, the only city that found its way to Mira. Could it be there are already intelligent inhabitants on this planet when humans land?Solfiner said:

I agree. I think I've voiced my opinions on this at some point (probably in the old Shulk Hype thread). I liked the ending of Xenoblade, and while there is room at Xenoblade's ending for a sequel, I'd prefer it unused. Everything's wrapped up nicely, I've seen other games do this and (plotwise) drop the ball.
Yeah, if it's placed in the world that Xenoblade sets out at it's conclusion, I'd like it so far ahead that it's not directly influenced in any way by Xenoblade. That way, XCX essentially gets a clean slate. Now that I think about it, I think that's what I want for it most - a clean slate. I went into Xenoblade with good expectations and they were blown out of the water - I'd love to have the same experience here.
So the likes of Lucina, Dark Pit, Dr. Mario were original enough to get in over them? Lol.We don't even know if there will ever be a new Smash game
But I think Shulk's moveset is interesting enough for him to return in upcoming games,
while Lucas, Roy, Pichu and Wolf were not original enough to remain.
Lucina, Dark Pit, and Dr. Mario were originally costumes, and were not planned to be separate characters from the beginning. They became separate characters when extra development time allowed the team to give them unique properties to their attacks. Lucas, Roy, Pichu, and Wolf were simply never planned to be playable, nor were they planned to be alternate costumes. None of their assets existed, so they wouldn't have been an easy copy-paste job like Lucina, Dark Pit, and Dr. Mario were.
You bring up a good point for what we could expect in this game.It is circumstantial evidence - means nothing if not backed up with other evidence. I must use spoilers for this discussion for it contains Xenoblade and maybe even Xenoblade X spoilers.
Anyways, this is all speculation. I'm not going to go into Xenoblade X and be upset if it's not tied into Xenoblade, but there is real potential for it to be.Firstly, the people talking about Xenoblade Chronicles X are definitely hiding something (most likely for the sake of spoilers). Makes you wonder why there are more cities, right? Neo LA is supposed to be the last hope of humanity, the only city that found its way to Mira. Could it be there are already intelligent inhabitants on this planet when humans land?
Speaking of the people who know about Xenoblade X, the majority of the argument against Xenoblade X being connected to Xenoblade comes from the first 40 seconds of this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKKiODpn6Fg
"So uh, Xenoblade Chronicles X is uh, it's sort of a spritual sequel for the original Xenoblade Chronicles for the Wii. Umm... Doesn't really touch on the storyline, but it does pick up on a lot of the philosophical ideas in that- in that first game."
This and that the people call themselves humans.
However, this does not prove the game has no ties. To begin with, the statement is clearly formulated on the spot, and he has difficulty framing just exactly how to refer to the game according to Xenoblade. He's rather vague. It is possible, although cannot be proven, that the reason he is so vague and has such difficulty is that he is avoiding revealing too much/spoiling. Note that he says, "Sort of a spiritual sequel," and "Doesn't really touch on the storyline of Xenoblade." The wording means it is possible for it to be not fully a spiritual sequel and to somewhat touch on the storyline of Xenoblade – the extent to which is ambiguous.
What this could look like is some time has passed between the events of Xenoblade and Xenoblade X. Xenoblade X does not continue the storyline of Xenoblade; it instead starts a totally new storyline that is in the context of the Xenoblade universe. Depending on the amount of time between the two games, characters from the first game may or may not show up again. Even if they do show up, they may not be the main characters of this storyline.
What I am raising is that Mira is the planet in which the homs and other life forms of the Bionis/Mechonis were living on at the way end of Xenoblade. Xenoblade Chronicles is the story of how that world came into being, it's history, in a sense. After all, Xenoblade's original name was "Monado: Beginning of the World."
To back that up, there is this suspicious observation:
![]()
Considering the Bionis and Mechonis sunk at the end of Xenoblade, it makes sense. Futhermore, humans could not have built this as they just got to the planet, suggesting previous inhabitants again.
Speaking of inhabitants, there are two in particular who raise questions.

First, the Shulk-like person. For context, it's from this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GxUMMGyZcM
The resemblance to Shulk is clear:
![]()
The character was singled out and emphasized in the video. It's doubtful that Monolith/advertisers would not realize such a resemblance to the protagonist of their previous game. So what is their game? Would they just show Shulk to everybody? Or, what I think is more likely, is this a descendant of Shulk? To me, the eyes of this person look green while Shulk's are blue. Fiora has green eyes though, and the two seem incredibly likely to get together.
As for the Nopon, Tatsu, you must know that Tatsu is the name for who we know as Satata in the French and Japanese versions of Xenoblade.
This nopon bears the same spiral glasses and name, but has a different color. For these reasons, maybe this is a descendant of Satata. He bears a large backpack and is armed with two biters. This is typical of someone who is travelling. Perhaps he was travelling from one of those other cities? Maybe, maybe not...![]()
What about the character with the two Monado hairpins?
![]()
If this game is the future after Xenoblade happens, the events of Xenoblade would have probably become a part of history. The Monado would be well known. This person would have to be a hom then, and there's no way to distinguish between homs and humans since Zanza based the homs on the humans. The humans have the goal or rebuilding humanity to its former glory as is a theme present in the E3 2014. "This is the duty of Growth." So what if the two were to meet? You might expect there to be conflict.
There may be some foreshadowing of this at the end of Xenoblade. Alvis and Shulk created an entire new universe, which happens even though Shulk said "world" because he does not has no larger concept. Pay attention to what is said here (or watch it)
--Alvis: "Shulk. This new world is boundless. It is home to not only you, but many forms of life. I can see it. In this world, all life will walk towards the future hand in hand."
--Shulk: "One day I hope I can meet them all. The people of this endless world."
--Fiora: "Me too. We will. I know it."
--Shulk: "We'll meet them, and whatever happens, we'll face our future together."
I will restate that 'World' refers to 'Universe.' Alvis even says, "This new world is boundless." When he talks of other forms of life in this boundless world, he refers not only to the life on that planet, but also aliens. Shulk and Fiora are sure they will meet that life, so it makes sense that the homs are meeting alien species in Xenoblade X.
Shulk wished for a world with no gods, and that is what Xenoblade X's universe is. This universe is just like Zanza's, or Klaus's universe, just somewhat different. Nobody comes into the position of creating a new universe like Klaus did. Also, if there were any gods in Klaus's universe, there would not be any in this new universe.
Would it be alright if there is one or a few generations between the events of Xenoblade and Xenoblade X?
Shulk did say at the end of Xenoblade that he's sure the future will be full of ups and downs. He doesn't know what the future holds, but that means he can imagine the possibilities. This would just be one of those downs. Or, depending on how it ends, one of the ups!
Was gonna say, these guys have already been justified. I think based on their clear definition as clones by both the game and the developers, these are the ones that won't come back. They're only here because of a special case.
That's an interesting theory. All the chatter about it here is getting me really hyped!
So im guessing you didnt hear about the LUcas jellybone data found in the game, lol. Roy and Pichu werent planned, but earlier in development they didnt plan to cut anyone from Brawl. THey probably werent' brought in due to time constraints honestly.
If I'm thinking of the right data... all the Brawl characters had small amounts of data right...?
Laughed so hard. thanks for sharing them all.I just used shulk gifs in the robin thread. If you're up for a good laugh, you can peek a little.
Also:
Edit: I never actually played against a good rob. Sorry, otherwise I'd give advice.
