Video Games! Xenoblade Chronicles

I check out Xenoblade, the RPG everybody is talking about for the Nintendo Wii. Not available in North American territories until April, this is the PAL/European version, so expect British English and all that nonsense.

You were having problems with Dunban not using his topple. The reason for this is that the NPCs spam their abilities randomly. Dunban's topple has a 20+second long cooldown which means that if he spammed it before you used your break, he cannot use it. The only solution is to play as Dunban and react to breaks yourself or use it in combination with your break in a team combination.

@doozer667 Yeah it's pretty annoying, though it's not really random spamming -- Reyn topples 90% of the time after I use break.

I commented without watching the video, so I apologize. I tried to eliminate the comment after watching the video, but way too late, my bad. Don't worry, no more comments from now on.

@fouluz lol, no biggie man I was just rubbed the wrong way because I actually enjoy British English and speak/write in that manner often. anti-clockwise, spilt/spelt, u's in words.

@fouluz You sound pretty defensive on this topic, and this comment itself is ignorant. Did you watch the video? Me saying how much I love British English throughout it? Perhaps you don't need to comment on further videos of mine. Thanks.

@AhGweeV2 I'd expect no less, that game is overwhelmingly huge. I wouldn't say it's the best game this decade...unless you mean literally 2010-2011. FFXII battle system is superior in my eyes.

You mention not wanting to play other characters. I highly recommend trying to because some of the characters like riki and dunban are really really fun to play as. The only problem is that if youre facing mechon you'll likely have no choice but to use and control Shulk for his debuff against mechon.

@lordofultima So British English is nonsense. I don't see if you play sarcasm here, but that sentence just sounds ignorant and, as you americans say, hick.

Just one thing more. If a game is released sooner in Europe than USA, and then arrives at USA, it will have a 99% chances that they won't bother adapting British English into American English, since, you know, it's the same language and you should understand it.

Glad to see you enjoyed the game. Though I'd say you will most likely be spending over 100 hours on this game. Music, story, game play. Definitely the best game I've played this decade.
