XENOBLADE CHRONICLES 2 LEAD COMPOSER GIVES STATUS UPDATE MUSIC, SAYS SOME RECORDING IS COMPLETE
The following comes from lead composer Yasunori Mitsuda... - was worked on by 150 people, the largest production Mitsuda has been involved with - mixing process for music began this week - Mitsuda is responsible for budget management, booking, music sheet management, and composin - it seems a Xenoblade Chronicles 2 soundtrack is coming, but a release date isn’t fixed yet - mixing the music only started for the cut-scenes, so it’s just half of the tracks - recording sound quality is good, and the team is trying its best to top the original Xenoblade - this is among one of the largest scale projects in the whole gaming world
At what point in development does the mixing process take place? I assume they have to have the cutscenes animated if they are doing those songs already
Jacob Price
I'm guessing they play the sheet music digitally and use that to direct the cutscenes around, then the real orchestral recording gets added later.
Landon Miller
>muh music
GIBS ME A GAMEPLAY UPDATE YOU DICKS
Ethan Lopez
>mixing the music only started for the cut-scenes, so it’s just half of the tracks Wait the cutscenes are done already? We might actually see this in 2017 right enough
Jordan Kelly
>We might actually see this in 2017 right enough I always wondered why people so not sure that it'll be 2017 release? X was "delayed" only cause reggie run his mouth in one interview.
Nathaniel Scott
What do you mean about reggie? Why was X delay in the first place?
Jonathan Parker
I HATE THIS FUCKING MOE ARTSTYLE I DON'T WANT TO PLAY AS A 12 YEARS OLD
Colton Garcia
Jesus Christ is fucking NINTENDO going to release 3 GOTY contenders in one single year?!
Liam Thompson
I believe is coming this year All you naysayers will see
Levi Sanchez
Mitsuda is actually composing and taking charge of the overall music right now instead of just one song as in Xenoblade?
Hudson Rogers
>Post yfw they release XBC2 before Mario Odyssey this holiday season
Samuel Carter
oh fuck I might have to get a switch sooner than expected
Camden Collins
Can't wait for E3 this year.
Julian Bennett
Is she smelling the air that comes from the switch fan?
Because I do that, it smells good.
Henry Brooks

Brandon Fisher
How are the expectations for thr gameplsy/combat system? Is it any good in XC and XCX? Looks boring as fuck.
Jason Hughes
>XC2 delivers on the hype >SMO delivers on the hype >announces new Metroid at E3
Jeremiah Young
After xcx nobody gives a fuck about their music. Uh uh yeah yea I can't see you I can't feel you uh uh. God the xeno series is complete trash anymore
David Ortiz
FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUCK NINTENDO STOP BLUEBALLING ME
Ethan Barnes
The worst battle system around. Qte button is the same as exit combat so if you miss you're out of combat and die
Mason Hughes
That was a different composer, some people still liked it, that's not how you use "anymore"
Christopher Anderson
I really want to believe, but they would have to been working on this game for a whole 2 years before the announcements. Plus, I feel like nintendo wants to put Mario on full force for the holiday. Xenoblade has name recognition now, they'll use it when the time is right.
Evan Wilson
No TLoU2 though, no spider man, no GoW3, no Persona 5, no Destiny 2 sorry :/
Eli Ortiz
Never happend to me in over 90 hours of playtime
Wyatt Howard
Persona 5 is on PC. Destiny is shit. Tlou 2 became SJW shit. Only game that's on PS4 that I care about is Persona 5.
Ayden James
It's like and MMO with auto attacks and cooldown abilities but mixed with some strategic elements like positioning boni and chainable effects.
Ryder Gray
Persona is shit m8
Angel Mitchell
I don't care about any of those games desu, they need another Souls exclusive or a real Silent Hill successor, Death Stranding is just too vague right now.
Nolan Bailey
But is it fun? Is it as strategic as turn based? Is it good?
Levi Hall
It's really hit or miss. You won't know if you like it until you play it. Watch some Let's Plays. The first Xenoblade has Let's Plays by chuggaconroy (expert) and cryaotic (noob) which I would recommened.
Julian Morgan
The only good xeno is gears
fuck off with your weebshit
William Rivera
I like it a lot, it's basically ATB with auto hits and a lot of shenanigans on top of it xenoblade runs pretty good on dolphin, just knock yourself out
Adam Morales
Did they fix the sound issues? Or was it deemed ok and abandoned?
Asher Stewart
It's really braindead, most boring atb system i've ever played
Nolan Thomas
I don't have a goodPC, is the virtual console version good?
Josiah Martinez
just people speculating that Xenoblade 2 will be delayed because when X was revealed (without release date shown), it released year later than Reggie claimed in one single interview.
Jason Powell
Just played it not too long ago. They were no sound issues, but when I downloaded the texture pack the sound started being awful at times. I stuck with it since the texture pack is almost needed if you wanna play on pc, since the game is pretty ugly otherwise. Maybe it's just me, or my pc wasn't powerul enough for the texture pack idk
Joseph King
probably best one since you can play it on wii u gamepad
Camden Lopez
I'm ready.
Elijah Richardson

Nathaniel Brooks
Good work
Juan Jenkins
There's also the fact that the west didn't get X until half a year later. The game itself might be out this year in Japan, but unless they are doing the localization differently this time around we probably won't see it before early 2018 at the very least.
Juan Davis
We have Mitsuda the guy in the back, Chico with the hat and the other Ace+ dudes on the ground. Don't recognize the tall one
Alexander Brown
Why they blur their faces? I didn't realize this was a prono. Wtf i hate nintendo now.
Brody Hall
She's playing the harmonica.
Jackson Ramirez
To be honest, I hope not, I know I'll probably invest hundreds of hours in Xenoblade 2 and thus won't have the time to play MarioO before one or two months after.
Jackson Fisher
Xenoblade combat system is probably the most boring combat system to watch among RPGs. It's pretty ok when you're the one playing.
Ayden Butler
Why would you ever need 150 people to create a soundtrack
Leo Lewis
>Get hype, bros. like i was hype for xcx and smt x fe and then noa majorly fucked up the localizations? xc2 won't be worth dick until the switch is modded and you can get a decensor.
Easton Lopez
Lies
Mason Moore
A complete orchestra singing I can't see you, I can't hear you, I can't feel you... scat scat scat
Aaron Brooks
Will the music have vocals with a gregorian chant style like the first game?
Need to preload textures into ram to avoid sound issues. The readme for the texture pack explicitly mentions that.
Gabriel Jenkins
its the little black dot in the middle to connect the eyes and mouth
Justin Allen
>Dude with the hat is still here
Can't wait for my guitar riffs during battles
Leo Martinez
giant robots when
Josiah Russell
Good news, I just found out that a group called Anúna is helping with the soundtrack, they have a lot of musics like that, so I think it's safe to expect a lot of those in the OST of the game.
It's going to be amazing
Isaiah Brooks
No Skells no buy
Chase Nguyen
They're called Dolls
Jason Cox
>The girls become giant robots
Liam Myers
X never had a release date, whole XB2 has at least 2017.
Jayden Thompson
>the girls ARE giant robots
Ryder Scott
>we know more about the music than the game itself T-Thanks Takahashi
Anthony Williams
>SRW and Xeno Toptier taste /m/y friend.
Ryder Bell
just wait for e3
Adrian Nelson
You are pretty awesome yourself, user. I just hope X2 mechanical design will be on par with previous games
Nolan Reyes
Why does Mastema's upgrade look so bad compared to the vanilla version Every other robot is a straight upgrade compared to its old counterpart.
Luis Cooper
>No TLoU2 though Why the fuck would anyone play that cinematic garbage? I own a PS4 and have been happily playing Nier and P5 and half of those games look awful.
Brayden Wright
because we can't have nice things >industrial doll looks like shit in it's upgraded high lvl form >and no high level police doll
Jose Price
have you bough Yamato's game, user?
Bentley Sanchez
That would be nice desu. But Xenoblade won't do it
Xavier Lopez
don't lose your hope Ryusei maybe some fairlions will cheer you up
Leo Morgan
>you can ride them
Nathan Nguyen
Not that user but it was GREAT DASH: The Game for me
When can we expect gameplay footage? I can just buy a cd, if I wanted to listen to music
Alexander Smith
And its gonna get delayed once again.
Jordan Jones
>literally no reason to do so whatever you say, faggot
Kevin Scott
400-ish here, I've gone into overdrive and immediately cancelled it expecting a qte. It's annoying but unless you're really bad at the game, it won't kill you.
Gavin Martin
Xenoblade Chronicles X probably has the most poorly designed post-game out of any game I've ever played
David Rodriguez
The only thing that should never exist are time-trial only materials. Everything else is fine, if tuned for the autistic completionists.
David Jenkins
...
Hunter Sanchez
The autistic drop rates make the post-game pretty much unplayable nice argument
Blake Edwards
I didn't really like the upper-tier head designs for amdusias or lailah, I liked the others well. Except for lailah though, all the patterns for coloring were way better in the lvl 30 series.
Jason Gutierrez
And the global-nemesis-only materials. Shiggy-ygg doesn't come around too often these days, and one day ninty is gonna shut down the servers without releasing any patches to addres the issues that will arise because of it.
Logan James
I honestly have to question WHY Monolith even thought adding multiplayer was a good idea at all. A niche JRPG on a dead console cannot support a multiplayer community. They really made a poor decision by introducing multiplayer, especially since there's only two Nemesis.
