Upgrade your party as you progress through the adventure by selecting equipment, enhancing weapon skills, and using benefit-granting gems. Put your dependable companions to work by filling the party gauge to trigger a Chain Attack and attack enemies in quick succession!

I really can't wait. I got close to the end but never completed it. Once it comes out, I'm going straight back to it
@Xmonado i cant wait i bought the game for the 3ds but the graphics small screen and well i dont play the system that much has kept me from enjoying it.
I usually play it on a pc with dolphin full hd texture pack I also own it on both 3ds and wii. this remastered version looks interesting. Can't wait
had just gotten and started this game on my 2DS...totally traded in and pre-ordered this...I can wait a little longer
My absolute favorite game of all time , and favorite series as well . Day one purchase even though I have played it multiple times .. actually playing through right now on my Wii U . Trailer looks absolutely stellar and I can’t wait to see what extras they include . Would love a follow up remaster of X , but if they don’t I will happily play it on the Wii U . Loved Xenoblade 2 on Switch . All three games are the absolute best in my opinion . Love them ... so happy this is coming
My favorite game of all time
Great battle, great characters, great voice acting, great story, great world.
Literally Perfect
Everyone's been praising this even with XC 2 out. So I went and preordered the collectors edition and I am waiting to be impressed! Cause lemme tell you XC2 story and gameplay are VERY hard to beat in my book.
i'm going to triple dip. fantastic game. best of the three so far imho....
and the new polish looks great indeed. i pre-ordered the collectors edition.
So many great RPG on Switch now. I haven't even started to play Trials of Mana and now this. My backlog is getting ever longer and larger by day.
The site has been updated with a lot of new content, as of May 1st!
We can change the future <3
