New Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Gameplay from Gamescom

I was unsure about Xenoblade Chronicles 2 when it was first announced, but the gameplay shown during E3 won me over.

This morning, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 was also shown at Gamescom, and it really looks fantastic.

As we saw at E3, the battle system is a little different from the previous Xenoblade games. It still has the blend of action and selecting special attacks, but instead of having Arts on a hotbar, they’re tied to your Blades and mapped to specific buttons.

This is a streamlined system, but it still looks complex. The Gamescom footage shows us a bit more of what to expect from the combat, including chain attacks, along with a look at some of its beautiful locations.

(Note: people have said that the quality is better live than it looks in the stream.)

Some people dislike the character designs (and ages) of the main protagonists, but I love what I’ve seen so far.

The gameplay seems fun, the environments are beautiful, and after the first two (especially since this is a return to the more story-driven nature of the first Xenoblade) I’m confident that the story will be exciting.

What do you think of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 so far?
