Are the other characters also from existing Namco IPs?
The mask really bothers me. It feels familiar.
doesn't look like him to me in one of the character flashes in the trailerI could definitely see that top right corner being a Yoshimitsu...

If gaf havent yet find out if the other 3 characters are anybody else, then KOS-MOS would most ceraily be the link/spawn of this game.Not that much a fan of the character but the main reason being I was hoping that this is more of an original game not another crossover game. Granted she could be the only one from a previous game.
Do you have a link to the post?If Verandus or whatever his name is on GAF says truth, its already in the works. Hard to believe though, cause he also says a new Suikoden is coming out too.
Well... now I need to know more about this.
She was in Project X Zone.
I'd love more cameos in this game.
Xenosaga HD Collection for Wii U confirmed.
I fucking wish

Xenoblade Chronicles X will be finished in April. Monolithsoft has to work on something next, right? Right?
Yeah, not to mention that Monster Games is doing Xenoblade 3D, god damn that's unbelievable that a small team in Minnesota who made racing games is now porting a fucking massive JRPG that is one of if not the best RPGs last gen.
As for Monolith, I do hope they are knee deep in their next big epic. Xenosaga Ep 4 for Wii U would certainly do the trick. I just hope it's not Xenoblade 3, they don't need to become a Xenoblade factory.
Given the usual modus operandi with Nintendo, I have a suspicion that Monster Games may soon come under NoA or make a move like NLG and fall under the Nintendo umbrella. Its a nice small studio that has done well for them in the past, much like NLG did, so it would be a fairly easy and, probably, good pick up.
They may well do a Xenosaga HD... /believe
Ok so it wasn't just me that thought this...I know its not a Bamco IP, but the first thing I thought of was Akira from Rival Schools.
Damn... That is strange. I'm getting more intrigued by this.Notice how everyone has a green glowing thing around their neck.
They just look like generic Tekken characters. Purple hair doesn't mean it'll be Kos-Mos.
DUDES!!!!!!!
That one picture looks like Mikasa from Attack on Titan!
ayy lmaoThey just look like generic Tekken characters.
Well technically both Monster and NLG are still 3rd-party, but only NLG have publicly declared exclusivity for they're articitally 2nd-party; exclusive but without a contract (or is there?) or partial ownership (like Nintendo owned 49% of Rare, 51% and over is 1st-party).
Monster on the other hand has had ZERO publicity, so we don't know if it's by choice or contracted or anything. We can only assume.
The blond girl is making me think of Trish from Devil May Cry..
DUDES!!!!!!!

Depends if Monolith is collabing on this.
No it doesn't.

Or even do a legit new IP like the said X was going to be prior to Jan 2013. Why did they say that and then turn around and make it a sequel to Xenoblade? I hope they change it up, go for a more classic easy-going turn-based JRPG.
XenobladeX is not a sequel to Xenoblade. They're just cashing in on the name.
Well, I'm not sure about that. Certainly they've not revealed a link to Xenoblade, but that's not the same thing.
Way back when it was first revealed, right at the end of the trailer, there was a brief glimpse of a character who looked a lot like Shulk, which might suggest that there is, in fact, a link. Or, of course, that's something that might have been quietly removed since then, since I don't think they ever elaborated on that character.
I wouldn't assume there's no link. There may yet be no link, it's true, but I wouldn't assume it.
I can see this being some crazy ass loot dungeon crawler based on random IPs. "Dude I just got the +4 Drill from Dig Dug."
I think will just be a namco version of anarchy reigns
but all the "traps/treasure tracking" part seems different from AR.
The way he described it kind of made me think of a co-op dungeon crawler or beat em up.
I also wouldn't really be surprised if it turned out that isn't supposed to be KOS-MOS at all and is just a coincidentally similar vaguely anime-ish female.
Takahashi said so himself. You should follow the XenobladeX twitter update thread: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=147539984&postcount=557
It's concievable that it's an image of KOS-MOS as placeholder to convey the style while the characters haven't been developed yet. I don't *think* that's the case, but I have to say it's concievable!the thing on the cheek is a dead giveaway though. it's not even about the hair or anything but that metal thingy.
Interesting. I wasn't aware of that. That could concievably mean same-world-but-not-continuing-the-direct-storyline, I guess. I'm still trying to reconcile the Shulk image!
Maybe they did just ditch that avenue.
XenobladeX is not a sequel to Xenoblade. They're just cashing in on the name.
Do you have a link to the post?
1. New Suikoden game in the works now. This one is very far off though as it's a recent thing as far as I know. I'd think 2016 is the earliest we start hearing stuff about it.
2. Superman is looking to make his triumphant return to video games, in a non-fighting game this time.
3. New Virtua Fighter game to come.
4. Good news for some PC MGS fans, there are plans from the top to bring the HD collection to PC. Not that anyone isn't expecting that, I'm sure.
5. On the back of that, FFXII HD on current gen is basically confirmed at this point. As is one of the older Dragon Quest titles in HD (I've genuinely forgot which number though since it's been a while). In addition to that, there is a spin-off Final Fantasy title planned for consoles. Not big budget. Not FFX or FF7 in case people take it there. Not a traditional RPG either.
6. For you, thou shall bring a Xenosaga HD collection. I'm also looking forward to this as I've never played them. Took a whole lotta tryin' just to get up that hill. Now we're up in the big leagues, gettin' our turn at bat. As long as we live, it's you and me, baby.
7. You will start to hear about digital revivals of some old IPs in the next one to two years. Playstation and otherwise.
8. Another unnamed IP which is coming to Playstation exclusively from Sega should hopefully be announced next year. It's had teething issues which seems to be making it take longer than I thought, as have most other projects on current gen to be fair from the looks of it, but I'm happy to mention it again because it looks like we might finally get an announcement next year. I'm hoping at least. This one's not a fighting game.
9. Third Person IP which is big budget is coming and it's set in the Indian subcontinent. Mentioning this because I feel it's quite notable something big is going this route. I don't think I've ever seen a big title in this kind of setting. I find it very surprising, but also very exciting. Western developed.
10. Japanese new IP which is set in...Japan. Third person action adventure title with monsters and machines. Might have RPG elements, not too sure on that unfortunately. Futurisitic setting. Playstation exclusive.
Now for more something which is what you would say is a tease but actually makes perfect sense:
11. A new game which will be a pretty big deal, I'm sure.
12. An old game, which will be somewhat of a big deal I guess.
We should have news on all of the above over the coming 2 years I'd think. There's one or two "twists" here and there where one may not like what happens, but it's all true. I honestly think this is going to be an amazing generation.
Takahashi is a tease. He puts references to his other games into new games he's working on all the time. Similar looks, names, etc. That Shulk image means very little other than that you can maybe create a lookalike in the character editor or now with the Shulk amiibo, you might get a unique Monado weapon + outfit out of it. But it's time to let go of those "same world, continued story!" theories and move on.

I think he has done this before with rumors, so who knows if he speaks truth or not.
