[Crystal Power]

A 2014 release for a game that doesn't even have an decided name yet???

Well either way I don't have a Wii U yet, but I will be looking out for this one.

Just wait for E3. You'll most likely get a name and a proper reveal.

I really hope I can play this in a couple of weeks.

You lucky one. Meanwhile I can't even buy a ticket to the US.

Will you be able to interview someone about this game?

Something to find out next week. We do have stuff booked in with Nintendo (not necessarily for X, but just generic, so we avoid any lines and whatever - but if X is present, we'll see it), but I need to see about interviews.

I just hope it meets expectations

 

[Squirrel Emperor]

So... Any guesses on the final name?

X

Xeno(something)

 

[Azuardo]

Xenomech

 

[Nikolasvanitas]

Xenomechs sounds really good,I think it fits the title keeping the traditional xeno word and adding mechs which seem an important part of the game

 

[ScienceNonfiction]

Along that same line maybe Xenodolls? Xenomechs sounds too generic imo, and apparently the robots are called Dolls.
Anyway, it's definitely safe to assume it's gonna be called Xeno(whatever), but I actually think it would be cool if it were just called X. Anyone else feel the same?

 

[Azuardo]

Generic maybe, but you can't get more generic than 'Xenoblade', and to be fair, that actually sounds pretty cool anyway.

Xenomech(s) was pretty much an on-the-spot thought, but it actually seems fitting. If the 'doll' thing is true, fair enough, but I can't see Xenodoll(s) being a good Western title, to be honest. I just think of Barbie when I hear 'doll'.

This is true.
And yeah "Xenodolls" may not be the best choice marketing-wise...

I suppose we'll see at E3 though. Err... at least hopefully. This is supposed to be coming out this year after all.

 

[TRI Mike]

"Xenodoll" would never make it to the west. If we lost the official subtitle for Bravely Default (Flying Fairy), I don't think we'll ever see the word "doll" in a western release of a JRPG. Everything here apparently needs to be "hurr durr black ops murricaaaa"

 

[Squirrel Emperor]

I'm thinking Xenoworld. Mainly because of Monolith Soft's desire to be like Bethesda.

The dolls do seem like a focus though. Could be mech related.

 

[Azuardo]

Good shout. I was trying to think something online-based, since that looks to be a focus. Xenoworld definitely encompasses that.

 

[Squirrel Emperor]

Another one that popped up is Xenoearth because of the whole United States thing. Perhaps they're looking for a new 'Earth' to live on.

I noticed Soraya Saga retweeted the Nintendo Digital Event.

Pretty obvious it will be present but there you go!
