The original Japanese release had that problem, they patched it for the PAL release...

People will still complain that the timer wont go beyond 999:59, after all. 
I've heard that moving speed is faster in PAL/NA versions, too?

they patched it in Japan and the excuse to boast about 300 hours made the flaw worth tweeting about yet I still want some pics
they are really holding back a lot I feel we are way beyond the teasing stage
I want a trailer for each BLADE Union lol

I can't remember if I loaded my saves into the PAL version, or if I just switched one of the game files, but I managed to view my actual playtimes at some point. I think it was around 180 hours for the first playthrough for me.
The game still recorded beyond 99hrs 59minutes, it was just the load screen that was bugged.

That crisis is averted I suppose lol
It's not exactly a Nintendo Direct I think. They'll be streaming an introduction to the setting and world of Xenoblade X, on Feb 6 at 10pm JST. It might just be an extended trailer sort of thing, instead of Iwata presenting it. Also, I only just noticed that Xenoblade X is CERO C. That's pretty interesting. I guess there's probably more violence in the cutscenes this time round.
FWIW, I don't think most of the game-specific Nintendo Directs (Wonderful 101/Smash/Bayonetta 2/Hyrule Warriors) in the past had Iwata presentations?

Note how there is no Direct logo. This is not a Nintendo Direct of any kind. This is its own thing.
Probably because of your ability to cut off creature appendages now...
Ages 15+. Xenoblade was CERO B, which is 12+...

I'll just stick this here.
I was watching the exploration trailer and when it got to a certain point (linked below) I though that there had to be a previous civilization on Mira for it to have mechanical structures like that.

Then I remembered a certain Mech's shoulder [no spoiler]:

HD re-imagining aside, it's a pretty close match.
Also certain overhangs in the first area are VERY reminiscent of those on Bionis' Leg.
There is another overhang like that within the ring at the first link's video position.

Monolithsoft is being very coy about this game's story and possible link to Xenoblade Chronicles while they've teased us with a similar name, subtle references, Nopon found on Mira, Monado hairpins, and a character that looks like Shulk in the first trailer. I always felt that X is a Final Fantasy deal where they borrow certain elements but the games are not related in setting. But it's getting so blatant that I'm joining the camp of those who feel Mira might be the planet on which Xenoblade Chronicles took place. We were never told that Xenoblade took place on Earth while we know XBC starts there.
Speculation alert.
Perhaps [Xenoblade ending spoiler]
Yet Mira, the planet on which Earthlings crashed after the alien destruction of Earth is their original home which their ancestors left ages ago. The game's characters will unexpectedly learn a lot about themselves on the "alien" planet.
It would be kind of funny for the characters to run from home only to crash into "home". I'd like that backstory since Xenoblade had interesting lore which could be further expanded. A lot would have happened between the end of Xenoblade and the start of X.

humans, and possibly the alien races, in X are extremely distant descendants of the Homs/half High Entia (Elma?) who started over after Zanza was defeated. With the Bionis out of commission and his cycle stopped they eventually achieved their dream of exploring the stars and settled elsewhere in the galaxy including on Earth.

Ha, that'll watching porn but saying you'll turn it off right before they show the
(use your imagination)
I agree with you about the way Monolith Soft is seemingly treating Xenoblade Chronicles series as Square Enix does with the Final Fantasy series. These respective franchises share similarities in some ways with each title, but in terms of setting, story and characters they are generally considered to take place in their own universe. X having Nopon could just be like how Final Fantasy throws in Chocobo into some of the games (I'm not very familiar with the series though). The girl having a monado sword hairpin could just be an easter egg and nothing more. Hopefully, Monolith Soft's new footage of the game later this week will provide some answers to our questions.
The subtle visual references to the Mechonis and Bionis suggest (to me anyway) that if X is related to Xenoblade it takes place after. According to Xenoblade the giant gods
did not exist before Klaus' experiment
ruins of the Bionis could be seen in the ocean.
I want to play it so bad. It's just similar enough to be nostalgic while fresh enough to be mysterious.
[Sorry for the DP]
It's quite fascinating seeing how this design changed over time...
Edit: It's already fixed
Yeah, the ship almost looks like a flying saucer in this art they showed here.
Just went to the website by chance and found that they updated it with a new character and what looks like some concept art.
That really reminds me of that old piece of art they had on their site when they were hiring a few years ago.
Edit: I see I'm not the only one.

Gundam Unicorn.
Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn. It's 7 hour-long episodes (with the last being 90 minutes). Top quality stuff there, not just music.

I can only hope that deer-like creature in all that concept art is a major character in the story.

I think it's shown in 1:13 of the exploration trailer. Has the same type of horns. Looks like a normal creature (perhaps a unique enemy though).

Enemy bestiary confirmed.
The website Gallery update deserves more context.
http://xenobladex.jp/gallery/index.html
In this section, they will be introducing the work of the various artists who have contributed to Xenoblade X.
In the first update, they are introducing Hideyuki Matsumoto. His main task for the game is to design weapons and NLA gadgets. But what they're showcasing here is his setting design work for the crash landing of the White Whale on Planet Mira.
The first image in the center is the finalized art setting for the event. The four similar images below are the various drafts he made before the final piece. Below that are some other rough art samples he made unrelated to the White Whale scene.
Edit: I also noticed that they added a direct link to the gallery from clicking on his name in the Staff page: http://xenobladex.jp/staff/index.html
This is a good indication that they plan on updating the gallery with samples from all the announced artists eventually, with links from the staff page to their work samples.
