Public attention by Journos are always the kiss of death for anything nintendo adjacent and now the fork they're probably talking about is now living on borrowed time through no fault of it's own.

Isn’t it a heavily online game, though? You kinda need NSO in this case.
Speaking of NSO, the latest Switch update fixed a bug (albeit a regression) with the Gamecube controller adapter. Between that and Nintendo ordering Gamecube rumble motor parts a couple weeks ago, I wouldn’t be surprised if we got Gamecube on Switch 2 NSO very early on.

Online features are entirely optional and just provide an ease of grinding for materials for endgame crafting. There are squad tasks which are done in the open world, like kill specific enemies or collect specific items. Squad missions which are online 1 - 4 player activities where you run through a small level and have to kill enemies or fight bosses (these can be done solo and offline if I remember correctly), and lastly the Global Nemesis which is like a group raid boss sort of thing where you have to kill one of two leveled down superbosses and however many times you kill it contributes to the global nemesis health of your online region, so its like a team thing to whittle down the health, and you get awards based on how much you contribute. The award tickets you get can be used to purchase enemy materials used for crafting, to skip grinding enemies, including the superbosses. You can still get award tickets from time trial missions to speed up crafting without online.

Right shows Elma's default armor, left is a player that replaced her chest piece with another, its not censored. It's probably going to be based on the US/EU version which had censorship already with the removal of the breast slider and censorship of Lin's outfits but nothing beyond that, and the god awful localization hack job.Aaaaaand it’s censored.

I hope they fix the map navigation issues (they should do, as the reason why the map was clunky was cause you had to switch between screens), the text size being illegable, the ost blaring in cutscenes with heavy dialogue so you couldn’t hear shit and hopefully make party mangement less if a chore.
I’d really like them to make all side quests completable from the Blade Terminal and not have to go talk. But unlikely. Shame stopping exploration to hand stuff in was a pain.

Best Xenoblade game, but still baffled why it took them so long to port it to the Switch.

Money and they were working in a billion other games.
And X is honestly the one that needs the most done to it, to say nothing of the fact that as we can see they’ve clearly added a XCDE style ending to it.

Except they are using the censored western Wii U version and NOT the uncensored JP Wii U version. They are doing the same exact shit they did with Tokoyo Mirage Sessions. Ignore the based JP version and use the western censored soy version. Nintendo learned nothing after that remaster flopped.
Edit: I recommend just using mods to solve this issue.

They were always going to use the EU/US version. Because we weren’t getting an uncensored version and it is easier to make one version for the entire world than it is to make multiple.

Ok but why use the EU/US Wii U version for the JP Switch version? Theres already a Wii U JP version so why not just use that? I think its because the Wii U JP version is too based for todays standards. They did the same with Mirage Sessions and Fatal Frame Maiden of Black Water.

Because then you’d have to put in the work to censor one of the versions released. It takes time and effort that in a worldwide release schedule does not make sense to do.
How I wish we atill had to wait several months between the JP and EN releases.

Good to know, probably won't support it on those grounds, especially in this economy. And 2015 was in the heart of Nintendo's faggy Treehouse localization era. Though, thinking back I might have been the only one in my region to be excited enough for Xenoblade X to buy the special edition with the amazing art book. I remember liking what I played, classic Squaresoft Alumni style, and I made it pretty damn far into the story - but guess what? The fucking art book has a seriously big spoiler concerning one of the main characters in it... I was just browsing the great art and boom, the main chick is actually an alien puppeting a robotic human body. At least I was reminded of the OST, really good stuff in that.

There was an artbook? Maybe I should buy myself the Limited Edition…
Speaking of, I look foward to X’s Limited Edition being impossible to get if XC3 was anything to go by.
Oh thanls for reminding me. If XCDE is anything to go buy they’ll likely remaster and rerelease that with newly added tracks for the extra content they are adding.
I look forward to buying it again.

I don't really care much for Xenoblade, but why does the Wii U version look better? Lightning is way too bright on the Switch.

EU only got a steelbook, NA got a tiny artbook. If you want just the artbook just get the Japanese Art of Mira book instead, it contains everything, including the massive amount of unused art from before the internal reboot. It's not hard to find.
The cutscenes are influenced by weather and time of day when you enter the cutscene, the Wii U version looks to be at night while the Switch version is sunny day. The only graphical changes I can see are what looks to be TAA added, although I'm not entirely sure because of youtube compression, and updated character faces and characters have a new rim lighting shader.
I utterly despise censorship, but in the grand scheme its literally just the breast slider for the player character and the skimpy outfits on Lin. Compared to what it could have been I'm okay with it. The localization is a hack job with pointless name changes and borderline fanfiction for some sidequests and background npc dialogue, but its still not as bad as what treehouse did to 2 or 3. I'm not trying to be apologist but things could be much worse than they are and its not worth boycotting the game over, its honestly the best in the blade series in my opinion.

Will do.
To this day I am upset that as a result of that slider being removed I could not make my character look even more stupid.

TMS flopped because no-one outside of Japan has any interest, AT ALL, in idol bullshit. If it had just stayed FE X SMT it would have easily sold twice as much or more.
