Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 1 Comment
In an update added to the Xenoblade Chronicles X website last night, new details were shared regarding the game’s various creatures. Here’s a look at some of the ones you’ll find:
Brass Femina Zeus: A boar-like creature with a firm lump on its head. The male (Brass Zeus) and female versions have different hair and body colors.
Stone Hippo: Has a sharp tusk beneath its jaw. They’re gentle creaters, and can often be seen around bodies of water.
Wood Fontera: Herbivores with a height of over 6 meters. They’re similar to giraffes, as they use their long necks to eat leaves on trees.
Everlast Milesauro: Giant creatures that resemble dinosaurs. They don’t attack humans, and tend to spend their time leisurely.
Lake Rutorl: Live by bodies of water, and have a mammal-like appearance. They also share characteristics of dogs and cats, as they face upwards and roll around.
Quick Strutt: Bird-like bipedal creatures. Similar to ostriches, they have wings but cannot fly. The Quick Strutts live in groups and feed off insects they peck off the ground.
Junior Simius: share the appearance of an ape, but they have four arms to go with their two legs. They often travel in groups, and can occasionally be seen with their giant parents.
Young Lups: fierce carnivores that will even go after other prey while hunting. They’ll also attack humans immediately upon seeing any nearby.
Docile Ois: Small herbivore creatures with a puffy ball on the end of their tails. They like to eat sprouts, and can often be seen living in areas with plenty of greens.
Youth Vasalt: These insect-like creatures have six legs, and use their front legs as sickles. You might occasionally see them using their sickles to dig holes in the ground.
Welkin Lukiora: these giant flying creatures usually travel calmly in the skies. They tend to constantly float around their own territories.
Monolith Soft also touches on the “Overed”, which are like regular monsters but are quite a bit stronger and have unique names. Overed will be featured in some quests, though due to their strong power, you’ll need to be well-prepared before taking them on.

Latest Xenoblade Chronicles X tweets about Tatsu translated
Posted on 9 years ago by Kirara Koneko(@KiraraKoneko) in News, Wii U | 1 Comment
The latest Xenoblade Chronicles X tweets from earlier today have been translated and they give us a small bit more insight on their thoughts about Tatsu and a fun tidbit about their homepage.
Kojima:
We had a new plush made for Tatsu… but at the start of development, there were actually quite a few arguments about whether we should put Nopon in the game or not.
Then the event planners started pushing lots of Nopon-related ideas, and in the end, Takahashi joined in on the fun and came up with the character of Tatsu. Now, we’re really glad that we put them in the game after all.

Xenoblade Chronicles X director talks a bit about the female alien shown during the Battle Presentation
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 9 Comments
Towards the end of last week’s Xenoblade Chronicles X Battle Presentation, a new female alien was shown. Here’s what director Koh Kojima shared on Twitter about her today:
“You must be wondering who that squid-headed female alien at the end of the battle video was, huh? You can tell she’s an evil creature. She’s very popular with the development staff. We think she turned into a really cool character. The design was made by Yoko Tsukamoto by the way.”
We’ve talked about Tsukamoto on here previously. In Japan, Tsukamoto is a well-known fantasy illustrator.
