Awesome. I hope this is as good as it's been hyped up to be. But then again, I think I've seen people compare it to FFXII, so I'll keep my expectations in check.

FFXII is godly

No way is nintendo going to spend this much money on english voice overs and not bring this to their biggest (second biggest?) market, the good ol' USA.

Why Europe and not NA? Serious question, not just general bitching, because all the BU BU BU LOCALIZATION COSTS posts don't seem to make much sense now. I mean I'm almost wholly ignorant to how the industry works and I haven't had my first cup of coffee yet, but I don't understand this

Demi has the right idea, as usual. One of like five Wii games I have a serious interest in, but I don't mind not paying if Nintendo doesn't want my moneys lol

demi · « **Reply #67 on:** March 31, 2011, 09:41:03 AM »

It probably is coming to NA, but Nintendo is saving it for E3. They gotta show -something-

Probably one of the few and far between independent decisions by NoE to localize, like for Doshin the Giant.

on the 8-4 podcast they really talked up this game, and I decided to check it out and found this:

[youtube=560,345]h6dgXE9BcTs[/youtube] (it's a NoE officially released video--not some nindweeb saying fuck a lot)

it looks kinda awesome. I need to get caught up on Wii homebrew stuff. Last time I played an import, I was still using Gecko.

Trent Dole · « **Reply #77 on:** August 13, 2011, 12:00:19 AM »

yeah, but sometimes there are niceties added in like the game showing up in your time log (instead of generic Wii System Menu or w/e).

cool breeze · « **Reply #85 on:** August 15, 2011, 11:26:04 PM »

It should be larger, I think. It has the Brit English and Japanese audio tracks on there.

Damian79 · « **Reply #86 on:** August 16, 2011, 01:06:36 AM »

I am not sure if i should get the iso for this and play it on my comp. The music makes this game and i heard the emulaor sound isnt that great.

dont you have a wii? Mod the thing, its easy

Damian79 · « **Reply #88 on:** August 16, 2011, 01:34:52 AM »

I bought 2 wiis for this game. First one was American because i assumed that NoA would get thsi game. Second one was also for this game but an Aussie one. I bought the game but i dunno which one whill give me the better experience the wii or the dolphin.

Since you own it you can easily try it on your comp and on the wii and make a decision right?

The best Japanese RPG of this generation.

The best Japanese role-player of the current generation and a big step forwards for the genre in terms of accessibility and ambition.

It's a game that invites us to reassess an entire genre, pointing to a bold future while nodding its respect towards the past. It's a towering triumph.

pppfffttt

this game is going to be horrible!

if this was a next gen rpg instead of THE LAST GAME ON THE WII <salute> you can rest assured that i would read that the main character is annoying,the plot is stupid and the combat system repetitive,like i end up doing everytime

i have read so many review bashing rpg that were good for the most moronic reasons (i remember a review disliking monster hunter for not having lock on!) that i know for sure these moron know nothing about them and that when they are telling me that a game is "genre defining" what they actualy mean is "i'm a westaboo and i'm going to slob over anything that has big open field and real-time combat" make the title one of the last wii exclusive and the 9/10 is secured

you know what was the last rpg that had nothing but positive vibes from the presses? it was persona 3 which is as far as "best rpg ever" as you could ever get,if the press has nothing bad to say about it,there's probably something stinking in it

but none of the pompousness and melodrama of less accomplished Japanese epics. I'd forgotten that JRPGs could be anything other than depressingly linear and a heavily over-written;

side quest have made him seen the light! hallelujah! let us praise skyrim next! the funny thing is that he says that he says that "there is a lot of drama in here" and drops a slighty spoiler yet at the same time he says "there is none of the melodrama of other lamer rpg!"

Never mind, we all know the answer to that already.

Reviews for RPGs are usually shit but I'll trust positive import impressions from Bebpo and TheTrin among others... can't wait to get my copy, only problem is finding time to play since I have to move.

haven't read too many reviews, but from various impressions it seems the difference is how Xenoblade is a good rpg that evolves (wankery speak but I'm lazy to say it another way) the rpg-itude by way of deftly mainstreaming of the genre niggles. The handheld rpgs have been great in a mostly traditional way, cept for like TWEWY and that has its pillow fluffers.
