It's beautiful.
Flight is definitely coming back, it just makes so much sense with the bits we've seen of the world.

Beautiful, still waiting for an area to "wow" me like Uraya or Eryth Sea did though, hope there's something like that in this game. 🙏
Absolutely breathtaking.
Exactly the kind of teasers I want: no story stuff to potentially be spoiled, just new environments and music to get me hyped

Watching the detailed video on the Horizon Zero West 1.16 patch and then seeing this really sets yourself up for disappointment lol. "gorgeous" and "beautiful" are not the first things that spring to mind watching this trailer.
Xenoblade's environments always look beautiful, Monolith is the king of open world environments. Really excited to see how the Urayan titan and Eryth/Leftheria areas look as they were my favorites in 1 and 2 with all the colors.
I am proudly on media blackout, but I played the trailer for my +1 who went "oooh" and "aaaah" a bunch. xD
I mean... If you have to ask, it won't be good for you lol

Yeah, in terms of visual fidelity and detail it's obviously far less impressive than something like Horizon or Ghost of Tsushima, but it still looks fun to explore and should look nicer when we're exploring from the character's POV, since more foliage and other details will render in when you're up close instead of far away.
It's just a one-minute environmental teaser. Anything that would be in a Direct would have story content in it.
Thank god Nintendo comes in to save me from how bad Sega tries to showcase Sonic Frontiers. Don't get me wrong, I'm excited for that game but they're doing a terrible job showing it off.
On topic though, login how pretty the world of Aonis looks as opposed to parts of Xenoblade 2. They also only showcased 2 areas here which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Leaves some surprises.
Really curious where they take the series next.

I hope there are some creative environments. Just about every location in XC2 was intensely memorable (steampunk giant! snowy turtle! bioluminescent whale stomach! jellyfish islands!). The biomes they've shown for XC3 don't look very exotic outside of a few landmarks.
The Live-A-Live remake is just the week before on Switch and Digimon Survive is on the same day as Xenoblade 3 on all the platforms it's releasing on. Pretty stacked couple of weeks for Switch owners in particular!
I share that same concern but if Xenoblade 2 is anything to go by, we should at least have secret areas. If not? We can only pray they're putting that kind of effort into a sequel or prequel to X.
Can't wait for this game.
You realize beauty is subjective, right? HFW has visual fidelity but I'd rather explore a Monolith Soft crafted world over it.

Is this where the Direct dream dies?
Just watched it, and I overreacted. I just want Nintendo to announce this damn direct already!

Honestly this trailer is probably the safest thing you can watch. It's nothing but environmental beauty shots seemingly of just 1-2 areas that we've already seen before.
This! Unbelievable that Monolith is able to achieve this on Switch. It takes Pokémon games three trees for the textures to start quaking. I would love to see what Monolith could achieve on better hardware.
My JRPG backlog is forever screwed. I haven't even finished Xenoblade 1 and 2 😔
Seriously. Ever since the first Xenoblade came out, no BS, the part of these games I look forward to most is the music and the imaginative environments.
