calintz · 03-29-2012, 08:23 PM

i've had the game since the euopean release... but i reckon you guys will finish it before me lol

haven't even unwrapped the game, too scared to get sucked into a 70+ hour jrpg with my current work schedule

I kind of want to wait for Last Story, but I may pick this up. I also don't really feel like I'm up for a long RPG.

Einhander · 03-30-2012, 10:59 AM

Get it now and you'll be finished by the time Last Story comes out.

Ernst · 03-30-2012, 11:52 AM

I was just thinking about moving Last Story to high priority on LoveFilm now that I'm finally nearing he end of ME3.

Northeastmonk · 03-30-2012, 11:55 PM

I'm glad to see Last Story get a NA release, since its been a while since a Sakaguchi games been released ; I'll prolly pick up Xenoblade for some jrpg action. Amazon has this as Monado

Plus it would be nice to use my Wii; its collecting dust.

Went to EB games today and they confirmed for me that the game is being released April 5th (technically today) in Canada.

GO GET IT SPIDER!

went to the G-stop and preordered my copy. I'm guessing this is becoming a hit, considering how much earlier we could of had this.

I figured out how to softmod my Wii last week so long story short Gamestop did not get my money afterall.

I will wake up early tomorrow..

Quote:

Although its visuals aren't surely groundbreaking, Xenoblade Chronicles proves to be an excellent jRPG that demonstrates just how much this genre has still to offer to its loyal fans

Quote:

The best Japanese RPG of this generation. The fact that it looks like it's from the last generation is its only drawback, but its technical limitations are offset by imaginative artistic direction, innovative and compelling combat, and thoughtful design. It's a throwback to the glory days of the genre.

Quote:

Monolith provides the biggest and most ambitious game on Wii by a long-shot. Xenoblade Chronicles reignites the JRPG and adventure genres in one classy swoop; that this grandiose spectacle is under the banner of Nintendo is the cherry on top.

10 Perfect scores.

Edit: Picked it up with a Black Wii classic controller pro

Einhander · 05-05-2012, 12:14 AM

So did anyone else besides me (edit - and Calintz) buy this?

Northeastmonk · 05-05-2012, 03:39 AM

I have it, havent gotten the chance to play through it yet. I've been finishing a few other titles. Though I'm glad I got it.

Alucard · 05-05-2012, 02:52 PM

Someones been working on a HD mod for the game using an emulator. Its still early but its looking good so far. Obviously enlarge to see the difference.
