Today’s Xenoblade Chronicles X presentation will kick off at 8 AM ET / 5 AM ET / 10 PM Japan time (five hours from now). You can watch it in full through the live stream below.

Depending on how things go, this post may act as a live blog as well. We’ll see. If that happens, updates will be posted underneath the embedded stream.

– Trailer translation 1: Open number 8. You’re still alive. Are you okay? Don’t push it. You just woke up. You’re the only one to wake up. I’m Elma
– Trailer translation 2: Our journey from Earth was suddenly cut short. We had to make an emergency landing. This is the planet we landed on. It’s still untamed.
– NLA: industrial area, at the entrance; lots of weaponized machinery is made here
– Commercial area: lots of people gather here. Elma likes to go shopping.
– Residential area: where everyone lives
– BLADE area: military’s headquarters. Lots of weapons and equipment can be bought and stored here.
– Blades are the police and military, protecting the city. They’re also used in recon.
– Life is the support system. Some life pods broke off.
– Need to go find life pods scattered across the world to recover survivors.
– Lin will explain the Frontier Net. Your position is shown.
– The shining beam is a Frontier Spot, where you can gather information from data probes. They collect info about the places you set them.
– This probe found a treasure nearby. Each area’s objectives are revealed through the data probes. Find 100% of the objectives!
– As you place probes, the dialogue of NLA residents will be expanded. Quests can be undertaken from NLA residents or directly from BLADE
– If you succeed in your quests, you’ll be handsomely rewarded. Be sure to clear them. Relationships between characters expand by interacting.
– Planet Mira is still largely unexplored, and there’s lots of room to explore. Tatsu will continue explaining. There are several continents.
– NLA is on the grassland continent. Next is the Night Light Forest continent. Then, the Forgotten Canyon. They’re all huge. The White Forest.
– Finally, the Black Steel continent. It’s a volcanic area. It’s really huge! Tatsu keeps saying the continents are huge. He can’t help it.
– There are so many locations in each continent that they can’t all be explained. Each has a number of landmarks, secret areas, and vistas.
– Did you think traveling would be a hassle? You can dash, jump, and skip travel to data probes you’ve placed. Navigation Ball helps the lost.
– If you get a Doll (mech), you can travel even faster by transforming into a vehicle or taking to the sky. Find new areas to explore.
– Dolls can’t just be used by anyone, only certified BLADE members. Creatures of Planet Mira. There are many different kinds, big and small.
– It’s best to avoid creatures that are far above your level. Watch out for obards. Creatures with special names require caution.
– Alien species, friendly and hostile, can be interacted with. Our objective is to seek out the Life Points. Sometimes we have to fight.
– Next time, we’ll teach you the skills you’ll need for survival.

In making the original Xenoblade Chronicles, Monolith Soft wanted to include a full enemy encyclopedia. The team sadly ran out of development time so it wasn’t in the final game.

In new tweets published on the Xenoblade Chronicles X Twitter account by Monolith Soft’s Kojima, it’s confirmed that the RPG will feature an enemy encyclopedia. Players will be able to view 3D models of monsters they encounter, check what drop items they have, and more. Koh Kojima also teased that Xenoblade Chronicles 3D will include this as well.

A translation has come in for the official character profile of Maurice in Xenoblade Chronicles X. Check it out below.

Maurice is a bureaucrat of the former United States Secretary of Defense, who then became the assistant to the President.

Afterwards, he used his previous position as a way to appoint himself as the chief administrator commissioner of NLA (New Los Angeles) and is now the representative of mankind on the Planet Mira.

The original Xenoblade Chronicles had an issue keeping track of playtime. After 99 hours and 59 minutes, the counter wouldn’t progress any further.

This is something that Monolith Soft made sure to address in Xenoblade Chronicles X. Director Koh Kojima noted on Twitter:

“As always, thank you to the users for their support. I’m Xenoblade Chronicles X’s director, Kojima. The embargo on a lot of information pertaining to the game has been lifted, so I will be talking about it here.”

“First of all, as a greeting, I’ll talk about the game’s playtime display. There was talk about how, now matter how long you played, Xenoblade Chronicles would be completed in 99 hours and 59 minutes. And so, we’ve changed that this time around.”

“In the Famitsu interview a few days ago, Takahashi mentioned the time of ‘300 hours’ and of course the playtime will be properly displayed [this time around]. Of course, we’ve made it so there will be no problems even if you play beyond that amount of time.”
