That's fantastic, perfectly in line with Torna!
I still have to watch any video and read anything, since I am busy now, but I hope the previews are really good.
Why are they teasing Xenogears like that? I'm intrigued, but mostly confused. I highly doubt gears could be coming back anytime soon. It's so long for a remake and owned by Square.
The only thing I see possible is Square partnering with Monolith soft for a switch exclusive port with a remake of only Disc 2.
I don't think FC is going to be as long as Torna dlc. GameXplain said 10-15 hours, maybe 20 (I think he's stretching by saying 20) and he already explored most of the Shoulder in like 4 hours
It's important to note that four hours in, they had seen almost all of the shoulder. They said in the video it could be anywhere between 10 and 20 I think, unless I misheard.
Essentially 20 was the top end and not necessarily expected given the tone of the conversation.
I haven't been this excited for a remastered game in a long time. Seeing the previews for this only have my hype meter over 9000.
I remember the announcement trailer they ran. 2 seconds in I I was like "That's Xenoblade Chronicles!".
I managed to get a pre-order in for the Definitive Works Edition. The artbook was a must for me as this is one of my favorite games ever.
Hey Reyn! What time is it?

Torna is like 12-15 hours front to back. It's not that long. And it has like 3 hours worth of cutscenes. Future Connected being 10 hours would he solid.
Man, I'm still torn about cancelled my LE preorder. I want the artbook and soundtrack since they were so good but idk if I can commit 90+ hours again. I'm still going through it on the 3DS actually and not even close to finishing XB2 (and I got it at launch) but thinking the graphical difference between the two will probably make it feel like this is a brand new game
Yeah I can't say I was ever expecting more than 10ish hours.
Yes please!
Boo, I meant I like that but I hope its something we don't know yet.
Yeah, Torna could be 30+ hours if you do all the side stuff and superbosses, I'd love something similar for FC.
OP
OP
I played the 3DS version almost five years ago now, and while I had a good time I wasn't in love with it like everyone else seemed to be.
I'm almost certainly going to give this another shot. Maybe the updated visuals and QoL changes that sound quite nice will help me better appreciate the game. If nothing else, it'll be a solid way to stay inside and hunker down.

That's not what they said. At 4 hours in he had already explored the vast majority of the shoulder. They expected more like 10-15 hours. 20 hours was absolute high end.
Also he had stated he hadn't seen any new enemies- everything had been transplanted from other parts of the game and the combat system was largely the same. They made it clear several times Future Connected was much more like a traditional DLC compared to Torna's full expansion.
People expecting a Torna-like experience in Future Connected are likely to be disappointed.
Aren't they embargoed to not go past a certain point currently? It's possible new enemies exist but they haven't gotten to them yet...
Overall I too didn't adore the game like many, dropped both Wii and 3DS at around the 40-50 h Mark. Lot to like, but certainly some flaws.
What is good is well worth any jRPG fan to experience though, and I hear the ending is a great payoff, which I hope to finally experience my third attempt.
I'm sure there are new enemies (bosses at the minimum obviously) but he's already explored the vast majority of the area outside of some story-locked areas. The shoulder itself is populated with enemies from the rest of the game.
I'm not complaining on my end- it still sounds good. But I think people who haven't watched the preview are getting the wrong idea about Future Connected.
Yes, you can display the equipment you want even if you are not wearing it.
Reyn Time is a meme, but Reyn really isn't strong enough to justify his meme status. He's not Sharla (who's actually trash) but it's hard to justify using him over Dunban or Riki if you're trying to make the game easier for yourself.
Let's see if they have correct that accuracy scaling and it could be a game changer. Like make it became in my top 10 favorite JRPG
Riki is extremely powerful. I'm talking cosmic nightmare levels of power. And Dunban draws aggro and then just dodges everything. How can Reyn hope to compete?
they actually said 15/20 if there are more parts to be explored story-wise (so backtracking, let's say) and that they actually added a completely new feature to the combat system (with the Nopons-Pikmins to be collected t unlock new moves and arts and so on)
I agree that they didn't say Torna-like (and I was pointing out that Torna was longer anyway compared to the 15-up-to-20 hours discussed by them
They are talking about handheld, let me see if I find the transcription on their web as I can't write italian at all.
Let's see, this is the translation that Google provides:
"Now even in the handheld the game maintains acceptable performances, without continuous and sudden changes in resolution."
The translation is rough but they clearly say that no drastic drops were noticed during their time with the game.
I agree
I mean, we have footage and it's pretty well recorded
Everyone can judge by his own, imho
to me it looks great
btw...as someone that has already cleared the 110+ hours on the Wii, i'd say that future connected is the primary reason to replay it
Gamexplain should have recorded the video at a higher quality or bitrate, this looks awful compared to most other preview videos. Look at the UI, it looks really blurry all the time, and I really doubt the game drops the resolution of the UI when things are busy. Its hard to compare the games if you use low-quality footage tbh, and kind of pointless.
