Monolith Soft, the makers of the highly succesful Wii JRPG Xenoblade Chronicles, has a trailer for their new project, which was shown at today's Nintendo Direct conference.
This game does seem interesting, and there are a lot of aspects that seem very similar to Xenoblade.
The gameplay and looks like the same style using arts and having an affinity gauge, etc. Even the use of some sort of gun, seems similar to an ether rifle, to heal the user is included.
The environments also look amazing, plus they seem to have that Xenoblade look. And, there seems to be a nice variety of enemies. Some small, then some the size of towering buildings that have a tail swipe that can take out a small army.
This imagine really shows the benefit a game like this gets from being HD.
The one different thing I saw was the mechs. They look as if they can be used for travel, by air and land, and they can be used in combat. To balance them, they seem to also include a fuel gauge.
Now, the reason I am comparing this trailer to Xenoblade, is that the final image was a giant red X. Now, it looks very similar to the X in Xenoblade. So, this may be a sequel. That would also explain the same play style, etc. And, of course for those of you that have beaten the game, you would know that they can continue the story with ease.If you have not seen the original trailer, I would definitely encourage it. The musical score for the game seems to be really good, and I just can't wait!
