  • Watch and learn Square Enix.

    You dont need 10mins+ cutscenes every 5 mins with useless dialogue.

    MAKE OPEN WORLDS!1! :d

  • Great video, just makes me want the game that much more >.<

  • this is great for the wii, ive never seen anything like this

  • Xbox 360 and PS3 disliked this

  • Ive got a PS3 :(

  • Watching this for about the 4th time today, and THIS ... is definitely the next RPG I wanna play. Even if it means I'll have to get a Wii just for this. *starts hunting for a used one*

  • It may not have the graphic fidelity of the big name RPG's, but I still say it looks better than the rest of them this gen. It's one thing to create awesome graphics, but it's another to to make you awe at the incredible scenery.

    NA people, if you have a Wii you owe it to yourself to pre-order this game, it's the best game on that entire system, hands down. If you don't like Gamestop you can get it straight from Nintendo online. It's worth every penny and more.

  • The game is officially coming to NA, its a Gamestop exclusive.

  • No tenía ni idea que el mundo de Xenoblade tenía aproximadamente el tamaño de Japón! wow, muy bueno por los desarrolladores y yo que creía que Skyrim era grande. Este fué el juego que sepultó a Final Fantasy XIII en Japón y es considerado el mejor JRPG de todos los tiempos, solo para Wii

  • Nintendo hasn't officially announced this game for North America BUT they did upload pictures, and there are some rumors going around that you can pre-order this at gamestop!

  • @AceS4289 Actually, they just did. It's coming out in N/A in April next year.

  • @Vyz3r Yeah this comment was 5 hours ago lol. So that was when I was waiting for them to announce it.

  • espero que llege America este año o a principios del 2012

  • just bought my copy FNAC Madrid could not find over here (portugal)

  • i stopped watching @ 3:00

    DONT WANT TO SEE THIS ALL YET!

    yet.... i soo want to!! XD

    (turns the wii back on*)

    -just arrived at the bionis' leg

    both chars lvl 16

    =)

  • Must. learn. Japanese *.*

  • love the music!

  • @MaxMeents if everyone did that then there will not likely be any more games this good in the future. I bought a Japanese Wii and xenoblade, and then xenoblade again in PAL. Support developers when they make awesome games.

  • ACE+ special creater!

    

  • I'll stick to gears 3, blowing kids whole fucking world apart.

  • @ohmygodnotthebees That's why we don't like games like that. The same apocalyptic looking area with the same gameplay. At least freshen up your areas like games like Zelda or JRPG's do. It's okay to have the same gameplay, I mean how do you invent other ways of shooting people in their face?

  • seems cool game, to bad for japanese only.

    But the main char looks like a girl, so gay man :\

  • 17:01...pocahontas?

  • is the story good? as good and deep as FF7 / 8 / 9?

  • I'm so sad that this isn't out in America right now. Yo would think it would have been released in Japan, then America, then Europe...like usual.

  • Incredible the expansive fields of this game. I don`t know that the Wii are capable of that. It's hilarious FXIII on more capable hardware fails at recreate a open world.

  • Look at these fecking graphics. They're beautiful. o.O

  • @Barbaroossa for a handheld!

  • so there are only four populated areas? Colony 9 and 6, Alcamoth and the village in the giant three? this is the only thing of xenoblade that i hate...

  • this game beats final fantasy 13 a thousand times

  • WOW!! O_O i dont have a wii i got a ps3 but i think this game will going to have the best and most detailed graphics ever on wii.

  • @fareedbakhit Indeed, I had no idea the Wii was capable of employing such amazing graphics.

  • @Barbaroossa amazing? they look like they come from the psp haha

  • you are such a tool don't know a good game when you see one i's not all about the grafigs

  • @gorrockman you are a tool you don't know a good game when you see one

  • @Barbaroossa and i thought mario galaxy 2 and games like red steel 2 / silent hill shattered memorise is what the wii is really capeable off.

    also and i thought that zelda skyward sword have the best graphics for an RPG game on the wii.

  • I was surprised by the size of each location, Guar plains is MASSIVE, all this on the Wii... I am surprised :)

  • I think it's too bad to see so many gamers taking an adversarial approach to one another. I'm in U.S., and when we get a game that EU doesn't... I'm not happy about it. I feel bad for them.

    We're all gamers, right? Sure, Americans tend to be a little spoiled sometimes. I can't help but feel like we should be on the same side, though.

    Anyhow. Xenoblade looks gorgeous.

  • Agh! It's hard to avert my gaze so I don't ruin the experience of venturing out when I start playing this. Somehow, I don't think watching this will... Xenoblade is epic. :)

  • FF XIII my ass.

  • Its about time Europe got a game that America didn't.

  • Two people who hate Reggie

  • I feel like singing Dancing Queen, but then the melody changes..

  • Sometimes in RPG's of today, developers tend to forget about the rather important feeling of adventure, and instead put the narrative above all. Even with it's numerous cutscenes in Xenoblade, they are tiny compared to how much the player will venture into the enourmous worlds, finding out secrets, meeting NPC's, taking quests and just jumping off huge structures because you can.

    This is a game. An adventure. The developers here make sure you feel yer on an adventure, not mere nostalgia.

  • THIS !! is the most Amazing Adventure i ever played. i played fallout, morrowind,gothic, i played final fantasy 1-13, dragon quest 1-9, i played every 16-bit masterpiece rpg and own a ps1+ps2 rpg libary to the fullest. i played vesperia and demon souls..... but i never...NEVER played in such an amazing world......

    a game with nearly no boundaries to the scale of the world....its not even HD but music,design so beautiful, it`s truly an adventure to play this game with such a wonderful story

  • wow... great soundtrack !

    

  • the game looks so goooood release it on ps3 please

    

  • @toofi1122

    This game is Nintendo owned.

  • Hope This Game Come Out For Xbox 360 . The Graphic Will More Beautiful . Thumps Up

  • @MrKJ90

    Fat chance that will happen

    This is a Nintendo IP. This game isn't going to any other system

  • uhg, first the mother series now this, WHYYYYYY!?

  • The scale is incredible, yes. But it's not without a sacrifice - the graphics are very plain. The gameplay itself is, basically, an offline MMO. Sounds crazy but it's pretty fun, actually. I just wish for a better story...

  • This game has much more grass in it than Final Fantasy XIII!

  • Comment removed

  • This game is cool!

  • The OST is superb

  • Nintendo needs to pick up a business 101 book and look up "Supply and Demand".

  • That's it, first thing tomorrow I'm going out and buying this. Looks fucking incredible

  • @JTX1000

    It's a superb game. It was created with a lot of love - both by the developement and the localisation team.

    I hope you really enjoy it.

  • @Karmoon7 I hope Operation Rainfall succeeds because America is missing out on a real gem

    Bought it 2 days ago and I've already clocked 10 hours, and I've got a busy schedule so that's probably a record for me. It really is incredible, can't believe I'd never even heard of it until the day it came out and the reviews came in.

  • @JTX1000

    I thought JRPGs were dead, but when I played this game, I felt like I was 12 years old again, in the middle of summer vacation, with a chocolate milkshake and not a care in the world.

    Takes a bloody good game to do that to you :)

    It's Reyn time!

  • @Karmoon7 damn, that's EXACTLY what I was hoping to hear from someone. I'm still on the fence of buying it because of the SD (but admitedly beautiful) graphics, but I'm an old school gamer whose fondest memories are from those magical PS2 JRPGs from a decade ago: Dark Chronicle, Star Ocean: Till the End of Time, Kingdom Hearts, FFX... you name it.

    So you are saying I can recapture that feeling? I'm sold :D

  • @UltraCoolAnimations

    I have a PS3. The PS3 is an incredible machine with fantasic games. I think the Wii is a piece of shit. The Wii remote is crappy and motion plus is a con. I buy some games for Wii and I feel cheated of my hard-earned cash.

    The point is, this game is totally different. It's great. I despise the Wii and what Nintendo have become, but this game deserves every bit of praise it gets. It's no Halo/portal over-rated bullshittery. It's quality :)

  • @Karmoon7 I know exactly what you mean. Aside from maybe Persona or Kingdom Hearts, JRPGs haven't really been able to keep up with the west in my eyes until this game.

    Also the voice acting is brilliant - it's really refreshing to hear an English dub that's English. Reyn literally sounds like he could live down the street from me, maybe he does O.O

  • @Karmoon7 I haven't played this game. But I know that feeling you are talking about...pretty sure you just sold me on this game. Thank you

  • @drewbobaloobob

    You're more than welcome. Enjoy the beauty of this game for yourself - all I really want people to do is give it a chance. It doesn't matter what your favourite game is at all, it doesn't mean you can't enjoy this :)

  • @drewbobaloobob

    The instant you forget how to be a kid and just have fun...it's pretty much game over :)

    Not every new game you play has to become your favourite to be well worth experiencing.

    You are more than welcome. All the best :)

  • This is very impressive. im so mad that i got rid of my Wii. Looks like i will be getting one for this game and DQX

  • @Deanovo1 damn no zelda.

  • @rahnyc4 WHOOPS. I forgot Zelda.

  • I am Japanese. This game has been cleared. However, we are still playing. This game will make me crazy. All the best games (w'ω `) w

  • @TheNikooss Your English needs some work, but your point comes across clearly. It's an awesome game. XD

  • ...but when you're showing us the games that you're playing, you never show us your wii start up screen. Would that possibly have to do with the Homebrew channel and similiar channels being present. Touchy subject for some!!!!!!!! By the way, this comment was never intended for the author of this video- rediakaikaikai. Only those fuckers who know I'm right but just couldn't possibly admit it. JUST IMPORT THE GAME AND STOP WHINING!!!

  • It makes me laugh that this isn't being released in America. Not for the principle (which is unfair cause it should be) but because most Americans have softmodded their wii so that it can play imports amongst other things. You hear all the American gamers complaining on their video's that it should have been released in America, blah, blah, blah but the fact is.........YOU'VE ALREADY SOFTMODDED YOUR CONSOLES!!! Just import it! Fact of the matter is you claim to buy only official gaming.....

  • I'd heard bits about this game for a while....but I didn't really think much about it until today when I looked at the reviews and the videos.

    I'm heading out to buy it tomorrow. It looks great! :D

  • TOOOOOOOOOOOOOMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOORROOOOOOOOOW

    

  • How the fuck are the weapons being held on to their backs?

  • @FatalPost Reverse gravity my friend.

  • @SectorCodec

    I'd have said magic staples, horse glue and a lot of vaseline.

  • Australia and New Zealand get this game September 1st. :-) I can't wait! I'll actually know what they're saying!

  • big middle finger to nintendo of america for not localizing xenoblade and lost story; all of that talk about getting hardcore crowd back. localizing this game would have been the perfect move!, but they just don't care about rpg fans; nintendo will never get my support again!

  • IGN UK gave this a 9.0 out of 10!!

  • Why Nintendo do you not bring this game over,it has the exact opposite of what modern gamers complain about JRPGs,it has tons of sidequests to participate when available and it is already ready to translate for Europe. If this game doesn't come out very soon,then in the words of George Takei,"You are made of stupid!!!"

  • 9 days....

  • @Robbycolonia

    5 days, I just cant wait. :P

  • finally a nice looking game to the wii that doesnt have the shitty Mii animations and it doesnt release to North America. What the fuck.

  • I've never played any JRPG outside of the Final Fantasy series.

    Once this game comes out I'll buy it to see how others measure up.

  • This will be a good way to pass the time untill skyward sword is released

  • Comment removed

  • @americans Wii is going to die soon anyway when Wii U comes out, so you might aswell just hack into your consoles and use a UK version of the game

  • hooray for region lock breaking

  • You can keep your HD consoles and whatever.

    THIS is true beauty.

  • @Zolbrod

    There's many better looking games than this on HD consoles, that also have the benefit of being in HD.

  • @Zolbrod Yeah..but what if it was on HD consoles...Would look a whole lot more beautiful.

  • @RonixEnclave

    Yeah it would....if Monolith Soft was 3rd party. But this isn't the case, Nintendo owns Monolith Soft

    Besides, for what its worth, this game still looks amazing, but it can at least back up the pretty graphics with some solid gameplay.

  • @Zolbrod I'm playing it on PC and guess what, is in HD. You can keep your wiitoy and whatever.

  • game looks cool

  • Soooooooooooooo lucky to live in Europe... Shame for the Americas, best wishes with the release!

  • @ragnarfuck fuck non-american release! that's why people hack their consoles! its like an invitation from nintendo to hack your wii: HEY GUYS!! GUESS WHAT?? WE WONT RELEASE XENOBLADE IN AMERICA!!! SO TAKE YOUR OPERATION RAINFALL AND STICK IT RIGHT INTO YOUR FUCKIN ASS!!! (or unless you hack your console, region-free it and load an european backup to play it in english language...)

    Homebrew FTW!!

  • @ragnarfuck but us europeans didn't get arc rise fantasia, i really want that game

  • 12 days....

  • For all fans of the Xenogears saga, this game is headed by none other than Tetsuya Takahashi, the mastermind of those games.

    Expect nothing short of the best.

  • I NEED THIS GAME! Come on operation rainfall!

  • @Juanmatron3 So I need the Pro gamepad controller? (=

  • 15 days...

  • Too....much...epicness..must..­.play...RIGHT...NOW!

    Btw, I have Dolphin 3.0 now, but Imma buy the real game disc, so I wonder if you know how I should setup? I wanna play with Gamecube Pad instead of buying the sensor and nunchuck, and emulate the game, can I do that? Please reply (=

  • Yeah, I'm so gonna buy this game the end of the month.

  • Is this game fun? I've been hearing that it's good. is it?

  • the exploration looks amazing! can literally go anywhere by the looks of it

  • I would like it if that sword looked like swords and not pieces of metal stapled together...

  • あぁ...音がずれてる;;

  • 36 days

  • @Juanmatron3 how big are the enviroments? are they bigger than GTA 4 and red dead redemption put together

  • NoE has confirmed to release xenoblade in Europe in August 18th which is two weeks earlier.

  • Will it be better rhan the best JRPG ever on this planet?

    Will it be better than XENOGEARS ????

    The graphic is pure art

    The music is breathtaking

    the enviroment is awesome

    but the story? we will see in 6 weeks

    But without any doubt

    its the most promising RPG since the Godfather of all JRPGs Xenogears

    I cant definetely wait any longer....

  • 39 days ................

  • @Juanmatron3 it was 2 months when you wrote that. It's one month now... =) August 19th.

  • American localization of Xenoblade is complete, The Last Story is currently being translated to English for an American release, but there is no word on Pandora’s Tower localization. This information was disclosed to Operation Rainfall today from a source within Nintendo who wishes to remain anonymous. There is currently no indication of when Nintendo of America plans to formally announce these titles.

  • Whoa. To be completely honest, I thought Project Rainfall was just a bunch of people whining about a couple of mediocre games they couldn't have. I was so wrong. This looks like it could be considered the best game ever released for Wii. I've got the bug now too. I'm a sucker for large areas to explore, and open ended RPGs. Sign me up for sure.

  • Wow I often wondered about the hype surrounding this game but never bothered to look until now. Best looking JRPG since Dragon Quest VIII.

  • As a 3D graphics programmer myself, I can't help but wonder HOW THE HELL do they manage to make it look THAT good on such an ancient piece of hardware?! I mean, Wii was already outdated back in 2006, and it has only 88 megabytes of RAM! Only 88 freaking megabytes that hold all those grassy plains, floating islands, vast textures, sexy models, and also all animations, game logic and sound!

    That's way beyond impossible.

  • @Gl0wPh0g Don't blame your tools I guess.

  • @Gl0wPh0g their good programers xd

  • I'm so going to play this on Dolphin.

  • GOOD GOD, THAT MUSIC!!!

  • kinda looks like PANDORA from AVATAR...the game looks EPIC. Very beautiful scenery of that world...I wonder if NINTENDO is going to HD this and make it a game for the Wii U. I bet that, that's what they are doing. They should definitely release it everywhere though.

  • Comment removed

  • are you FUCKING KIDDING ME WHY HASNT NINTENDO RELEASED THIS EVERYWERE do they not know the stupidity of that kind of move. they could have regained nintendos popularity and definently increase thier profits with more and more games like this

    But to my point of view WHY THE FUCK ISNT IT IN AMERICA YET

  • god i wish usa would get this

  • Tears of joy. Just, tears. At watching those guys run through a gigantic grass field and the other places that fill the horizon. Do you know how long I've waited for environments like this? And for Wii, that this is running on a Wii! *sigh* But I live in America. So all I can do is dream. :(

  • @Folgrimeo: Or join OperationRainfall, if you haven't already. ^^

    Spam the hell out of Nintendo.

    As a last resort, you COULD always homebrew your Wii....

  • Definitely the best looking JRPG in Wii , it makes me mad too that this game is not come to the US even though I'm not live in there

  • GIVE ME THIS GAME!! AND GET THIS COMPANY WHO EVER MADE IT! TO MAKE MORE OF THESE!! these are my type of games i would really like.

  • Take notes, Square-Enix

  • @MrFriendlyFella um no lol i want it too but lets not get ahead of ourselves lol. lots of people are calling it the best rpg of all time... ppl who haven't played it. lets stop while we are behind lol.

  • why do i hear ABBAs dancing queen?

  • Will the European version have an English dub and/or subtitles? It has to right? For people in the UK.

  • imagine this mmo...

  • Wow this game looks amazing. And did you see the big dude at 7:36?

  • I sure hope this comes out in the US...

  • @Purmonius23 not sure if it is, but its comming to england

  • What a beautiful game! I wanna run and explore this world myself! =D

  • I want to explore on this game SO bad.

  • Theres a reason why Nintendo looks shite in other countries than Japan, because Western Countries hardly ever get games like this! FInnaly, we will!!! :D!

  • the advantage of an underpowered system is that it doesn't take as long to create original 3D assets - with superpowerful HD systems, asset creation takes ages as developers try to detail every pore on every leaf etc...that means you either get smaller games with less exploration (e.g. FFXIII) or bland environments which reuse assets a lot (e.g. Elder Scrolls)

    This looks like it might be the last RPG in the mould of the classic PS2 days, where RPGS were both massive and artistic

  • Join the Cause at Operation Rainfall

  • People. nintendo's facebook page is currently being bombarded with request for Pandora's Tower, The Last Story and of course Xenoblade, Please join the cause!!!

  • Why are only MMOs and Western RPGs doing these huge and expansive worlds anymore?

    That's the biggest reason why I'm getting Xenoblade.

  • The person that disliked this owns an xbox and a ps3, but the best console of this generation

  • I'm French but I hope this game will be released in North America anyways!

    Every J-RPG players should be able to play this game!

    The game is being translated into 5 european languages (whose english) and will feature japanese and english voices; so I cannot assume this would not be released in NA...

  • It amazes me that people bad mouth the Wii because its not a powerhouse console. But look at this game!!! Sure, its not HD but its looks fricking beautiful!
