Xenoblade Chronicles - Intro

[heeroueruni]

2000 times more epic than ff13-2 intro

[stufaman]

I've just got to the swamps on the Bionis back. Geez the visuals just get better and better. It's a shame such lush visuals will be overlooked because many gamers are obsessed with the latest machines and not what any machine can do.

[boontohumanity]

Is it just me, or does that lighter-coloured titan look somewhat like Diamond Weapon from Final Fantasy VII? o_o

[betoxexexe]

@boontohumanity I did think the same!

[JimmyNichols278]

where is controller required from Xenoblade chronicles? 

[Alyzabeth1990]

Tintin's voice actor sounds gay here

[rockhuerta]

Epic. Can't wait for spring!

[AncientRune]

Go to Neogaf now NA release just may have been confirmed

[XXtheJUMPoffXX]

The English is good, so why isn't this game released in the States?

[OdinsLoaf]

@XXtheJUMPoffXX march!

[xtremethomas]

This looks kind of like Final Fantasy

[OdinsLoaf]

@xtremethomas and monster hunter :)

[cronosferatu]

I hacked my wii for this game... Fuck you NoA!

[kazukimaka]

wooh just got this and played for two hours-one of the best games I've played.

[Nintariz]

If this game was released during the SNES days, Nintendo would have put it on the cover of Nintendo Power and released it worldwide. Why? Because back then they actually catered to GAMERS...and not your little sister.

Pathetic.

[MrTervehattara]

What's even more awesome is that the japanese voice actor for reggie or mumkhmar is none other than Norio fucking Wakamoto.

[theshonen8899]

That last minute with the zooming out was horrifyingly beautiful.

[Masta200]

There is one word ro describe this video... "EPIC!"

I have to admit, my wii is unused because of the xbox 360, ps3 and my PC.

Perhaps I should dust off my wii and give this a shot.

[AltairEgo1]

I wish people would stop pretending that Nintendo's localization policies aren't archaic. Chrono Trigger was over 16 years ago. What happened to Europe was unfortunate, but it's the 21st century now. It's that much more ridiculous in this day and age.

[retroman48]

Tried to get into this game, It seems JRPG'S just don't do it for me anymore... Thanks Bethesda!

[Cantido]

@retroman48 I'll buy your copy...

[Whaaaaaaattt]

Holy shit this thing looks like a piece of shit.

[NovemberCrystal]

@Whaaaaaaattt Ever played the game? The writing is amazing and the enviroments are amazing. You dont sound like you played the, so please stop embarrassing yourselves because you sound like an asshole. Bye :)

[Whaaaaaaattt]

@NovemberCrystal Come back when you know English, "embarrassing yourselves".

[LuisAceituno92]

@Whaaaaaaattt picking on the spelling is so mature, instantly makes your (non-existent) arguments valid

[ameerrafyrozelly]

in my comic the enemy city are XENOZIA diallon tarunia and the heroes city are bolania nagaille xenotopia x_x

[allikohcysp]

I remember complaining online about having to import games from America and Americans would tell me to stfu and accept it. LOL my my how the tables have turned. Suffer bitches. Loving this game which makes it even sweeeeeter

[Lonetsukasa]

4:50 Engaging the most Awesome Battle Theme Music, EVER!!

[perfekx]

the beginning and also the end of this game :D



[tealwolfen]

I fill so unloved by NoA, Pal give there fans Xenoblade while i got another workout game.

[DragonNexus]

@tealwolfen

Now you know how we've felt countless times over the years.

[2ruenuub55]

Its just the same as monster hunter tri. And monster hunter is waaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy better than this

[Diggaloss]

@2ruenuub55

How can u compare this to monster hunter? Kinda stupid

[2ruenuub55]

@Diggaloss bro, monster hunter tri is like exactly the same as this. Anyway are u trying to say this is good?

[Diggaloss]

@2ruenuub55

Xenoblade is a fantastic game, so is Monster hunter Tri which ive been playing alot. But from my opinion they are not the same

[2ruenuub55]

@Diggaloss what's different bout them?

[MachineLaw]

@2ruenuub55 Let me see:

This game has an actual story.

The gameplay is totally different, in monster hunter you need to fight while constantly adjusting the camera and your style of fighting is based on the weapon you are carrying.

Here you attack automatically and use abilities called arts to increase damage, you are constantly with a team of three on single player, while on monster hunter you are a solitary hunter except online.

Many other things that doesn't fit here. Both are excellent.

[2ruenuub55]

@MachineLaw guess I didn't think of that.

[khfanlizzie]

At first I thought I wouldn't like the British voice acting, but from what I saw here, it actually sounds fine and suits the game very well. Now we've just got to get them to bring the game to NA...

[1sayanbakshi]

Are you guys going to the eurogamer expo in earls court London?

[lawnceWOO]

well.. layne did indeed bring me here

[juggernaught6408]

figures, the one game im actually interested in getting (havent bought a wii game for years) won't even be released.

[AtaraxiaMedia]

Nice, I got an ad for Xenoblade at the beginning. xD

[JTX1000]

@AtaraxiaMedia Hey me too! That was actually the last straw that made me want to go out and get it, the trailer was epic

[nubbinnoob]

ah, i loved the voice acting

[ACEOFGODS2]

I'm American.

I have the game.

Suck it.

[mysticphoenix1987]

Note to America: STOP BITCHING with this Operation Rainfall bullshit and just import it off U.K, we had to import games and consoles from your country for over a decade (eg Chrono Cross .etc) so why can't you?

[davem1992ftw]

getting this tomorrow :3

sorry America :D or am I :P

[mtlsapu]

I miss the late 80s and early 90s.... Graphics weren't as good, gameplay was more important, and Nintendo released good RPGs in the US.

[Awesom3Gamer]

Actually, I shouldn't blame NOA. The market is way too oversaturated with FPS like Call of Duty to notice actual good games.

I should blame lack of taste for good games in American Gamers.

[theshonen8899]

@Awesom3Gamer Same. The sad truth is that even if NoA localized Xenoblade, it wouldn't get good sales. I'm not saying NoA is okay, I still think they're being annoying by not localizing a game already localized in Europe. But still, it's hard to blame them too much when no one cares about JRPGs anymore.

[Awesom3Gamer]

@theshonen8899 Also, look at how another RPG went to the DS Published by NOE there but a different Publisher in NOA : Sotarobo! and then now the OR titles. And seeing there being good reviews and great sales in Europe, Reggie DID say they were keeping an eye on Europe and Australia, and then find the verdict then

[MrTervehattara]

@Awesom3Gamer true

[Awesom3Gamer]

NOA hates us.

[ZaDOSmiKa]

Can't wait to receive my copy soon! ^_^

[BlazeAlchemist991]

As amazing as this game is, the voice acting isn't exactly great, hopefully there will be an option with original Japanese voices with English subs.

[Mewrulez99]

I found me a cool game! What's the age rating?

[pokebreeder125]

@Mewrulez99 12

[TheDarkHadoken]

i h8 the voicework, hope they let u use the original language and english subs and i will be happy

[TheDarkHadoken]

finally can't wait to understand this game,i beat the japanese version twice last year and barely had a clue to wtf was going on,now i will understand as i watch the tight ass cutscenes before you travel to the 2nd god and the cutscenes at the end.THANKGOD I SOFTMODDED MY WII!!!!! :)

[jackleTmantle]

For the people who want to know there is no plans to release this in the US so far.

read straight from the official nintendo magazine

[geezeers]

How epic was that!

[Sabbalab92]

These 10 minute alone should be enough to convince Noa to localize this game.

[Nintenjoey]

00:19 Reshiram and Zekrom!!

[Halo4e32011XBOX720]

If this comes out in the US I'm there Day 1!

[94mav98]

Looks like Final Fantasy XII, but with an actual story lol!

[gamefreak10]

When I was watched Xenoblade's intro before Pokemon Gen V reveal, I thought those titans look like Palkia. lol

Now, I just realised they look like Zekrom and Reshiram WITH SWORDS! xD

But which are those titans Bionis and Mechonis respectively?

[DeathG4n]

Will there be an option for japanese va?

[gamefreak10]

@DeathG4n Yes.

[zeraju]

aw i want to play this game

someone tell me the best way to get my wii to play right on my hdtv (besides get an older tv) coz i aint very tech-savvy

[yaoilovertash]

@zeraju

I had the same problem on my HD tv. The wii looked really grainy on my tv. I found out there's component cable for the wii that was specifically made so you can get 480p display on your wii for HDTVs. I ended up buying one on ebay for about 4.00 which included expedited shipping and it's supposed to allow you to get the best picture for the wii.

[royvanderschilden]

The voice acting is quite good, much better than I expected. And I love the British accents! I usually like Japanese voices too but the girls in JRPG's have damn annoying voices though. >_<

[huynherexpress]

Must... have... NOA!

[clouds5]

Yay only 2 weeks till the release in europe :)) So the combat system reminds me alot of something like a MMORPG^^ looks cool. Finally something to put some life into my wii again!

[RayLedgend]

@clouds5 XD! Interestingly enough, that's been my issue with the combat system. It doesn't look very good to me. Even if this came to US, I'd pass on this game.

[gizelbelcoot]

now do last story ...

[joshofstl]

Dang.

[midnightsukotto]

Reshiram vs Zekrom! :P

[MMLynk]

I love the english accents <3

[nintygamer23]

While this game looks great, the atrocious lip-sync, crappy dialogue and poor voices look like they'll ruin the game for me. Can you change back to the original Japanese settings?

[LukeLowell]

@nintygamer23 Yes,the european release has dual audio option.Personally,i will choose japanase audio without thinking it

[AquaticMeeps]

@nintygamer23 The voice acting really isn't bad though. Maybe you're just put off by the accents, because the acting itself is actually very good.

[midnightsukotto]

@nintygamer23 Apparently it has dual voice acting

[UtsusuZero]

2 dislikes were from nintondo316 and wiilover07.

[IxisNaugus]

I've gotta admit the voice acting is better than I expected. It's not perfect, but it could be a hell of a lot worse. Can't wait to play this, already have it pre-ordered.

[NovemberCrystal]

@IxisNaugus I expected the same, but some of the voice actors are quite decent. Nether the less i cant wait for this game. I think im gonna stock on some soda and some chips and dissapear for a few weeks.

[IxisNaugus]

@NovemberCrystal I hear you man. I'll also have to prepare myself for the countless hours that'll be burned on this game. You hear all the time nowadays about Wii's collecting dust and going unused, and I admit for a long time now I've been paying much more attention to my X360 and DS consoles. But I'll say right now that the moment the limited edition of Xenoblade drops on my doorstep I'll have no intention of even turning on any other console besides the Wii for at least the next few weeks.

[jimmyhldswrth]

Wow. absolutely fucking wow. This game is going to go down in RPG history.

[Mystemo]

I love the voices, more games should use British voice actors (just not the Siren games again for God's sake)

[Sckarton]

this what we want NoA (please release this to american people)

[zebroKZ]

whats the name of the song at 5:40?

[gbhoang]

@zebroKZ One Who Gets in Our Way.

[noomuss]

Wanna play

[angelicbeing2001]

holy shit this is freaking amazinng as hell

[Alyzabeth1990]

HEY!!! FORGET ABOUT MODDING YOUR WIIS. iF YOU HAVE A PRETTY DECENT PC, DOWNLOAD THE DOLPHIN EMULATOR AND PLAY IT ON YOUR PC. THE GAME RUNS PERFECTLY ON AN EMULATOR

[sirmel11]

I'm not too keen on the UK voice actors. It might sound cool for them because of the voices but I'd like American voices better or even a Subbed version.

[78RustyNail]

@sirmel11 We have had to put up with American accents in games for years. It's about time we had some decent British voice acting. The game also has the original Japanese language and subtitles. Shame you won't be getting it though.

[sirmel11]

@78RustyNail It's cool. Wii already has enough good games in the US. I wasn't excited for this anyway. I just wanted to check it out.

[UtsusuZero]

1 dislike was from Reggie.

[Awesom3Gamer]

@UtsusuZero the other 3 were from NoA employees busy playing Nintendogs and cats on 3DS to notice any other good games.

[bc1391]

So glad I imported it.

[Jbwoy4life]

really sucks that the US isn't getting this lol, the game looks great

[Mijeme123g]

This is stupid The Xeno series debuted on playstation they better make a move version or something

[UtsusuZero]

@Mijeme123g Thats impossible, the company who created this game Monolift Soft, i'ts owned by Nintendo. So you will never be able to see this game in another platform.

You see, there is a good reason having all the consoles.

[Blogkingdom]

@Mijeme123g I admit it did but the director died half way through development and the game (then called Monado) was renamed Xenoblade in honour of him as he worked on the Xeno series and this is a pseudo sequel anyway.

[ZaBlueCup]

@Blogkingdom Um, what? They renamed it Xenoblade in honor of him finally being able to release a finished product, unlike that of Xenogears and Xenosaga which were both rushed or had their budget cut by Square and Namco.

Tetsuya Takahashi is still alive.

[nintendude1229]

If this is coming to America then imagine how many people will finally shut up on the nintendo facebook page

[aleekun]

Ninty, just shut up and take my money.

[TheAPERSONNCC]

Why does that opening scene remind me so much of Pokemon Black and white?

[UtsusuZero]

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!­!!

Thanks NoE! Thanks for bringing this game so much!

I live in America, but if thats mean support this awesome game and you guys of NoE, you can take my money! I'll import it, thats a sure thing!

Learn of these guys NoA!!!

[nnndddnnnddd]

@UtsusuZero do you have a PAL console and if not how do you circumvent the updates (ones on disc) that render modchips and isohacks ineffective... because ive never been able to play the latest batch of title for this.

[UtsusuZero]

@nnndddnnnddd

I have a modded Wii for this kind of games(I dont support piracy, just clearings things).

Hmmm, you mean those updates like the Smash Brawl one right? Does this game has one of this updates?

[nnndddnnnddd]

@UtsusuZero i mean just reliably playing region free games. and i think this title might have one of those updates though im not entirely certain... i just recall reading there was and so i plan on waiting to be certain before importing (and then looking for a mod thatt'll support it if true).

its reprehensibly disrespectful NoA wont localize the game when everyone else is ;( bunch of assholes.

[UtsusuZero]

@nnndddnnnddd Nah, don`t worry about that update dude, I don't think Xenoblade Chronicles will have one, because the Wii U is coming soon, so, whats the point of Nintendo loose time with that kind of stuff?

You should be worried if this game is dual layer, nothing else, I heard that dual layer games have problems with a modded Wii. It would be a shame that you import this game for nothing :/

Srry for my english hehe.

[iamnotaplatypus]

Wow this looks amazing!.

[Highstar25]

AWWWWWW YEAH. This is the best time to be in the UK!

[Alyzabeth1990]

Nice! No German guy talking

[ZaBlueCup]

3:41 - His body isn't ready, and neither is mine. That wait for my copy to ship to the states is going to be absolutely brutal.

Nintendo of Europe deserves my money, which is why, as my first import from Europe, I'm getting the LE edition with the red Classic Controller.

[MASTERU2DAY]

So Nintendo decided to let North America buy Xenoblade Chronicles....sweet!

[domdom87]

@MASTERU2DAY what are you on about? its only being released in europe and australia (outside of japan).

[officialnintendomag]

@MASTERU2DAY This is the UK version.

[NetConsole]

@officialnintendomag You mean that it is the EUROPEAN version right? Because you know that this game is being sold in pretty much all places in europe right? Not just the UK.

[officialnintendomag]

@NetConsole No, we mean the version UK gamers will play. Each country's version is packaged differently, this is from the exact version UK gamers will get.

[SANDVlCH]

@officialnintendomag will it even be pubished in the us at all?

just asking, im british.

[yaoilovertash]

@officialnintendomag

Thank you for the info. I really want to import this game and it appears the best place to get the game for me right now are UK locations so at least I know what to expect from the intro.

[sirmel11]

@MASTERU2DAY lololololololololololololololo­lolol troll.

[Hanaakarii]

@MASTERU2DAY Unfortunately...no :'(

[MetalShadowChaos]

DO WANT
