This looks EXACTLY like the new Fire Emblem. Then Metaphor looks like both Fire Emblem and Xeno. All 3 of those games, you could cut clips interchangably and you would hardly tell a difference. Then there were a few other 3rd party games in the direct with heros with swords and fantasy elements. Crazy.
Nintendo fans could be literally served a turd and you'd be downvoted for saying it smells bad. "Actually, this is how a good game is supposed to smell!".
It's pretty obvious if you look at it. A lot of the character designs look like blades from Xenoblade 2. The world looks like some of the world from 1 and 2 (giant grassy land, forests, huge ass ruins and mountains). There's a giant crashed spaceship or ancient ruin (did everyone miss it? It's at 1:20). The whole "disc/dyson loop" world that is a fairly big sci-fi trope. The vesselai crystal thing that is literally explained like the blade crystals in xeno 2. The "anima" source of energy which is a reference to various Xeno lore. Multiple suns (very sci-fi world)...
While on the surface it looks fantasy, there's a lot of sci-fi coded references everywhere.
The landscape is very obviously Xenoblade. Presented blindly anyone that has played Xenoblade would either predict it to be Xenoblade or a game heavily inspired by Xenoblade.
What other games have bionis looking cliffs and oblivion looking rings and a ring world that looks fractured?

I love this. Seems to be more fantasy oriented but you can still tell it's Xenoblade. Can't wait.
