    I'm surprised this game doesn't have a thread yet. Anyway...

    The next massive sci-fi role-playing game from Monolith Soft, the creators of Baten Kaitos and Xenoblade Chronicles, comes exclusively to Wii U. A terrible intergalactic war leaves just a handful of Earth survivors trying to live in a beautiful yet hostile environment. Players engage in battles against powerful creatures of all forms and sizes using the deep battle system that builds on the triumphs of Xenoblade Chronicles for Wii.

    FEATURES:

    Riding and controlling a weaponized mech, players can explore every inch of the massive open world displayed in gorgeous high-definition graphics. The world is filled with strange and imaginative creatures, from small bugs to giant dinosaurs.
    As characters improve in different classes, they will learn new combat and defensive skills, or Arts. Players can customize the Arts palette as their characters learn new Arts. All Arts have a “recast" time – once cast, the player must wait out a “cooldown" period before that Art can be used again.
    Players can customize everything about the main character's appearance, including gender, shapes, height, skin color, voice and tattoos.


    Release Date: December 4th, 2015 (North America)

    This is going to be such an awesome game. I really do though need to finish Xenoblade before I play this. I know the games are separate, but I just fell like doing it that way.

    Yeah, I'm pretty stoked for it. I had super low expectations for Chronicles just because JRPGs haven't really been that interesting to me. I gave it a chance, and after being absorbed into it I finally beat it after over 100 hours. Definitely one of the best RPGs in years and I hope this one lives up to it.

    I'm sure I'll eventually get it but most likely not at launch. I've only just completed Xenoblade Chronicles clocking in at over 170 hours. I'm kinda burned out at this time.

    Truthfully, I haven't really played much of RPGs. I suppose Paper Mario counts. Anyway, this game hasn't had my attention for a long time either. But a while ago I saw the trailer and some footage from when some Treehouse members played the game, and it looks amazing. According to what I've heard, the game has a massive open world (apparently around 400km²), an interesting battle system, and seems to have a good story, all of which I love. Oh, and a ton of content. :D  Looking forward to December.

    Haven't played or seen much of the original game, but from what I know it's very different. Some gameplay elements and nods to stuff from the original game, but the story and everything else is not connected. Like Final Fantasy.

    EDIT: Here's some gameplay from X, provided from Nintendo Treehouse.

    XBX has a larger open world environment and better graphics. That's all I can really think of.

    That and:

    - More content
    - More customization
    - 4-Player online quests
    - Better story (In my opinion)
    - Skells

    There's probably some other stuff I'm not thinking of right now too.

    I'm tentatively excited. Fallout 4 comes first, though.
