Operation Rainfall are gods among fans. It's because of their efforts that I (and countless other RPG fans here in the US) can play this game come April.
This is the first time i've seen a good RPG game be released in Europe before America... Anyways I feel sorry for them... They never played Chrono Cross...
@R4LPH0M0N Right, at first I was surprised to hear Fiora say "all out" instead of the usual "owl out"... nothing against american, but nice to hear british english for a change.
Well, as an european I remember not being stopped by a minor thing like the lack of a proper version for Chrono Trigger back then. I can remember the ac adaptor for my american snes overheating like hell. Of course I had bought the whole thing just to play the damn squaresoft games in their 60hz goodness.
Xenoblade... So glad that this game came out in Europe too. Now if only had Wii to play it.. Ah well, at least it came out, so that I have hope to play it!
But seriously, I do hope that one day they will realise how the RPG community is big in both America and Europe, so that we shall always get those unique and amazing games.
Or maybe they are jewels just because they are not that accessable...
I know nothing about this game... but I would love a game where you actually have to manually climb up such colossal beings and then enter a dungeon inside them. By this I mean somewhat like Shadow of the Colossus... but a lot harder (SOTC you just had to hold the button to grab and then move forward, and you'd eventually get there). Basically a game where you have to make all the jumps yourself by using the physics of the game. Professional SOTC players do this with shortcuts.
@JackOfSpades93 I was aware that it was an RPG, I was simply pointing out an idea for a game which I would like. I was not under the impression that Xenoblade was like that.
@yagamijase The World is all water except for 2 extremely big giants who "died" in a fight. You live in one of them (the place where the sword is in the pic--->bionis), the giant you can see is another place where somebody lives--->mekonis.
Think about the giants as 2 big continents not "giants".
I really didn't like this game at first, but the battle system starts getting addictive (and hectic) and the story is getting deeper over time, the music is amazing, i think the only track I dislike is the main battle theme (yhea not so good of course)
It is completely unacceptable for Nintendo not to release this in the west. This is a high-quality game with very good reviews and potential, so I will be completely baffled if we don't get a confirmation of it coming to the west this year. But Nintendo of America still puts this game on their release schedule, so until they stop doing that, I'll continue to have hope that they're localizing it.
A superb arrangement, definitely can feel a bit of Baten Kaitos in there. Such a shame that this will probably never see the light of day outside of Japan. And I really don't understand that they're wiling to release Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World overseas but NOT Tales of Graces, a far superior game. Also, I thought Tales games sold relatively well in the US? Eh, I don't know. Anger.
The heck? First there's a Xenogears, a Xenosaga, and now a Xenoblade? Xenogears seems like it might be great but I can't say I was too into Xenosaga. Some parts were very nice but it was just way too weird and disturbing...
I know. I just thought the whole Xeno thing was interesting. I mean, what does Xeno even mean anyway? It's like how the term Ragnarok is quite common in some RPGs.
@AkumaUchitoru I believe "Xeno" refers to the other worldly. For example, Xenophobia is a fear of unknown or otherworldly beings. Similarly, Xenobiology is the study of otherworldly lifeforms.
Ragnarok is basically the end of Midgard (earth), when souls fight for Odin in Norse Mythology.
Yeah, I've heard of Ragnarok. So... that's what Xeno means? Interesting. So... you think their all similar at least because they might all be sci-fi?
I think I'm more interested of otherworldly things then scared of them. It's kind of sad that this is the only planet, at least in the solar system that have life on it. If we die, everything is dead as far as we know. D:
Even if we couldn't escape, it would be nice to know that life could still live on.
I'm loving this track. This just reminds me of Tales of Graces for some reason. (Which I'll have you know has been announced for NA. Well the F version.)
Definitely. I live in Iceland and I can consider myself lucky if more than one or two great Wii titles are released here without me writing some comments mentioning them on their FB account. Quite pitiful, really.
@sinituuke that's why i gave it my best to learn english and now i can play theire games ! and next i will learn japanese and play theire RPGs ! who said that we can't learn anything from video games ? i learned english and french in it ! (it's not perfect but it's better than nothing and at least i can play any game i want :3 )
Beat this game playing new game plus , this music here is the in the zone i chilled in the most , heard this game is not coming to usa fan translations please come out.
Call me xenophobic, but that blade looks so different that I am judging it in a bad way. I mean, why the circle thing on the hilt, or is that part of the blade now? Why is it hollow in so many places? Is it half transformer? That sword doesn't even look sharp.
It still is labeled to come out in the to the rest of the world. So...where is this masterpiece? Also, definetely grabbed this track for my listeniong pleasure(at the time I could only select 10 songs). I'm guessing Beyond The Sky would be up at some point though...some of Mitsuda's best work, his one contribution to this game, and up there as one of my favorite songs of all time (right at #2).
It's as if they feel were undeserving for some of them. :( You know some things are around the world... probably even in Japan. Some people are just heartless. It's like they wouldn't understand the beauty of some games, like Mother 3 which is also Japan-only. That's just a crazy theory. I of course have no idea why they would do this. :(
If I could choose one Japanese Wii game to come out here in the west, this would be it, even over The Last Story. I've heard tons of great things about it and the music is something else. ACE+ never disapoints.
is this game for any other system besides wii??
