Xenoblade Chronicles X (Wii U) Midnight Launch 12-4-15

Braindome

Anyone else here going to be playing this at launch?

Personally I completely cleared my Wii U internal memory and transferred all other files to my external drive and plan to have only XcX on the Wii U internal flash memory as to try and maximize load times over using an external HDD or disc, preloaded and ready to enjoy this landmark title.

I'm picking it up.  From the reviews I've read it like an offline MMO, all openworld and seamless no instancing.  Too bad more big names studios don't make MMO's like this.  All we have are indies that try this.

Ugh, I'm so jealous!

I bought a Wii U when it launched, because I really liked the technical features and the unique controller/2nd display

FFWD 1 month later, I am frustrated that there are NO GAMES!!! 
I look up all the upcoming games, and realize all the titles I wanted were 1.5-2+ years away from launch.   

Naturally, that was unacceptable.   So, like a dumb@$$, I traded it for a collector's edition backwards compatible PS3 with a stack of games on craigslist.  Someone wanted the Wii U for their kid.   Fine by me, and good luck finding any games!

FFWD to a few days ago... Black Friday weekend sales.     I decided my old laptop cannot cut it for gaming anymore, and I refuse to invest to build a gaming PC that could impressively handle the new games coming out.   So I found a deal on a PS4 bundle and bought it.   I even thought I might look for a Wii U bundle but, my conscience said "don't you dare buy a Wii U again, you know better.  Buy a PS4." --    I got home and unpackaged and was gitty with excitement.
Plugged it in and set up my PSN+ stuff etc.   Started to look for games to download in the store, then decided to check the web for "most anticipated next gen console games 2015"

Being a PC gamer, I awkwardly searched "console games" instead of particularly typing "PS4 games" --   Low and behold, the first thing that caught my attention was XcX for Wii U.

I was awe struck from watching the videos and reading about it.    I spent the next couple days trying to find someone on CL that would trade me their Wii U for my old PS3 as kind of a "do-over" attempt.       Sigh, no luck.

I hope you guys thoroughly enjoy it for me.
I'm heart broken that I can't play Xeno!!!!

Im worried. I'm afraid this sequel will be a shadow of its former self. A member of the new and empty games, like inn the mmo scene.

Former Square Enix guy,well before Square but worked on Chrono and FFV a couple really good games,so you can see the same sort of style game.I would expect it is of decent quality and Nintendo also had a part in developing it so likely only their money though.

I am really loving it! Not quite the same but it makes me feel like I did playing PSO a long time ago and that was what I was hoping for..
