Title: Xenoblade coming to the US (Confirmed)

I have the euro version but still, holy shit if true :P

This gives me a lot of hope for a Last Story US release, too.

Sounds great, Gamestop gets a small reason to stay relevant, Nintendo gets to look less like the miserly bastards they are, and the fans who swore they'd buy it given the chance get an opportunity to put up or shut up.

I'd sooner rather see Sandlot's awesome looking Viking Defense Force get localized, or Disaster/Trace Memory/Pandora's Tower/Last Story make it here too, but this is nice.

Our CRT HDTV is in the main floor living room. The 48" LCD HDTV set up is in the basement rec room. It was funny when Bebpo visited, I didn't show him the basement until the very end and he was wondering where the hell I did my gaming.

Yeah, I'm really happy they chose Xenoblade of the three and not the other two, going on GAF impressions of all three.

Anyways, a confirmation a few months ago that it was even coming at all (even if in 2012) would probably have done them so good and not lost sales to importers. Personally, I'm glad I waited.

I wonder what kind of agreement NoA and GS have in all this. Is it basically because of GameStop that the game is coming out at all? hrm.

Fuck off.

If it makes you feel better, the game was going to sell like shit, with or without you.

I might actually buy another copy if it's a limited run.  Game would have sold like shit regardless but after making their key demo import the game they really won't have an accurate picture of how big or small the demo is.

Just a shame they were so adamant about never bringing it over.  I'm glad they are bringing it over but it should have been here for Christmas.  Just another stupid decision by NoA.

it plays like an MMO,you get a skill palette and each skill has a cooldown time,and your first party member get the job of drawing aggro

most people seems to say that "it's like no JRPG before" because they want to murder the classic JRPG,one thing that drives me crazy is that some skills have rogue property so one skill does more damage if you attack enemy from behind and apparently THIS IS SOME INCREDIBLY CRAZY INNOVATION THAT MAKES THE FIGHT HIGHLY STRATEGIC IN A STALE GENRE LIKE THE JRPG even tough in the end it doesn't make a lick of difference

End-game WoW circa 2006 had deeper and more engrossing gameplay than just about every highly touted RPG I've played from this generation, western or wacky Jappy, so yeah, I don't think it's an entirely terrible trend. DA:O was a boring pile of shit but :bow Xenoblade :bow2

Oh, uh, I already pirated Xenoblade like everyone else. It's a little late for this. I'd buy a copy to support quality vidya but I'd probably just be pissing in the wind

It's kinda hard to take those people seriously since they are usually the same people who play nothing but SE RPGs and judge the whole rest of the genre based on them.

I suspect it's because Nintendo of America (rightly) assumed the game would sell like utter shit and couldn't be arsed to release it, but with WiiU falling behind schedule, they need to have *something* to sell, so here we are.

Every single person in that stupid "Project Rainfall" shit should be forced to show a receipt of purchase or get punished somehow.  I think that companies should make people who join these "crusades" put a down-payment on the potential game, to be refunded if it doesn't actually come out.  See how many hardcore fans actually put their money where their mouth is considering all the noise they make.

this game doesn't exist,too bad the setting of xenoblade is

"evil robot burned the main character village,now he must go kick their ass
BECAUSE THEY ARE EVIL!"

what's worse,the character are supposed to be on top of a giant robot yet the game never seems to do anything to take acknowledgement of this until this fact has to mash with the fact that EVIL ROBOTS! you are on the knee and it's a huge plain and really that's it! then you get to the top by reaching a marsh? what the heck? do the character ever end up climbing something? i think my favourite part is when they find a sea on top of the giant mech,you know what i would expect to see on top of the giant mech?

THE FUCKING TOP OF THE GIANT MECH!

they might have scrapped the whole idea and not a single thing would have changed,so yeah,settings suck

Agreed, even with all the stuff they added to FF12 International (which should have been in the original game to begin with, and it's stupid they didn't put it there), Xenoblade is just on a different level. It streamlines so much of what FF12 established.

doubt this is better than ff12

would rather play ff12: international

it screw less thing in the miscellaneous department (like giving the player decent loot instead of a chest with 2 GIL) the combat is better in that it involve less time staring at a screen like an idiot but it's worse in that you don't have a lot of control over it (there aren't even items to use) and get super easy once your healer gets strong enough,the plot is a different kind of awfull,where FF12 just squander around with nothing interessing happens,xenoblade start decent enough but by the end it follows the jrpg plot flow chart (http://www.ohmz.net/2010/10/19/jrpg-plot-flow-chart/) to a level where you start to think picking another favourite genre

the character all have their specialized role but it's really hard to not be tempted by the attacker-tank-healer squad and the other character just end up as extra luggage

both games have special named enemies to fight but in xenoblade most of the time they boil down to the same fight you would have had with a normal monster had he been a few level higher,while that fucker in FF12 who healed himself to full and then started spamming blaster was incredibly cheap at least you had to think of a way to cheap him out,one thing that i hate a lot is that in xenoblade if you are 6 level below a monster 90% your attack against it will automaticaly miss

the bestiary also sucks,a lot of rpg recolors their monster (including FFXII) so you might think "ehy what's the deal" but trust me,it has never been done on the same level as here,prepare yourself to see the same ants and bats and rabbits over and over and over

unlike final fantasy XII there are quest a-la wow like "bring me 3 rabbit paws" but solving them can be a huge pain in the ass,while the drop are rather generous and therefore you never end up spending too much time getting the required items,the city are pretty big and each NPC has a schedule that he follows so finding an NPC can be a nightmare,you get some info about where and when to find them but this info is all scattered and hard to navigate because it's put in a messy UI

TL;DR version

i don't think you would like it more than FFXII,you seems to like FFXII more for control freak reasons like "i can make vaan a mage and penelo a warrior" and you'll have nothing like that here,also there is no yasumi matsuno plot,generic plot flow chart is what expect you

but if you just want another plain walking simulator go ahead and walk to your content :smug

Post by: ZephyrFate on December 03, 2011, 03:19:12 PM
The "Yasumi Matsuno plot" does nothing when he left halfway through and FFXII just falls apart. Don't act like FFXII doesn't have fucktons of recolors and palette swaps, and a good deal of the Hunts and sidequests are even more boring and generic than Xenoblade's.

The NPC scheduling thing is at least realistic -- you can't expect everyone to be where you want them to be every time. That's called immersion.

it's the combination of the city being big + them having a schedule that make the whole package a pain in the ass,go to the gamefaqs board and half of the thread on it will be "where i can find NPC XXX"

final fantasy 12 is awful anyway

you also like the new zelda

you haven't fucking played it, cuntsuck

I watched my friend swim in water. he had to pretend his wiimote was a sailboat and the air was a bathtub and he sailed through the ocean as Link, swimming towards a weird cross between jellyfish and seahorses.

Didn't put the game in a positive light in the least bit.

There's no waggle in Xenoblade. Plays just fine with Wiimote/Chuck as well.

I'm glad you judge games from the brief moment you got to see them. It's like games journalism!

We should also clarify that Operation Rainfall will continue to campaign for the release of The Last Story and Pandora's Tower while putting a heavy focus on ensuring that Xenoblade Chronicles exceeds sales expectations.

We would like to thank Takahashi-san and Monolith Soft for creating this beautiful adventure, and all the support from our fans and followers for sticking by our crazy campaign ideas to reach out to Nintendo.

We also want to give a very special thanks to Nintendo for not only acknowledging the fans, but listening and bringing this amazing title to the American region.

One down, two to go! Have a great weekend everybody!

man i can't wait for this to bomb! :-[

um... it's not going to sellgangbusters. steady those jets.

Oh it's definitely going to bomb. Hard.

Doesn't concern me though, just glad it's coming out.

It won't be a bomb if they just sell a small shipment, which is what they look like they're planning to do. They're doing an incredibly smart Atlus tactic here to gauge interest, to prevent a bomba.

Assuming they're probably going for a super small shipment, that wouldn't be a problem for Nintendo.
Title: Re: Xenoblade coming to the US (Confirmed)
Post by: ZephyrFate on December 03, 2011, 09:13:56 PM
and I think it'll sell well. Though I guess it depends on how strong its competition will be.
Title: Re: Xenoblade coming to the US (Confirmed)
Post by: Tasty on December 03, 2011, 10:34:49 PM
i'm not sure you really understand how making money works

not even atlus makes money under 10k

they're clearly biting a (small) financial bullet for whatever reason here

Eh, they might have broke even on the Euro version and this is just a recycling of that. All they have to do is tuck some pinkies in when people drink tea and make the discs, can't imagine that costs much.
