Watch over an hour of Xenoblade Chronicles X gameplay

[Administrator]

Xenoblade Chronicles X, Monolith Soft's Wii U-exclusive spiritual successor to Xenoblade Chronicles, has been excruciatingly detailed with over an hour of gameplay revealed in the latest Nintendo Direct.
First off, Nintendo showed an eight-minute overview video showing off several of the colourful RPGs locales and mechanics. It detailed such diverse environments from the rolling forests of Primordia, to the Metroid-esque swamp Noctilum, to the cosmopolitan New Los Angeles, the only established city in mankind's new home of planet Mira. We also get to see how the map system works, as players will spend much of their time exploring the vast planet as they look for Lifeholds, pieces of the space ark that brought the remaining humans to Mira.
Along the way players will be able to use cool transforming mechs called Skells to drive and fly across the game's lush terrain. There will be Skell-based combat too, but that's one of the few things Nintendo isn't showing off quite yet.
