Ahhhh gotcha. Well, luckily the 2 day shipping is free, so I can't complain. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Manged to get it applied a few hours later. Nice!

Since I don't really know the story of the game yet, I can't comment on how detrimental their design decision was. I think silent protagonists and customizable characters can be done while still being the main character in the story, but it's interesting how their story changed to fit in a blank slate. I can't really say if I prefer it this way or not until I beat the game.
I mean, personally, I really like customizing my character. I spent over an hour in character creators before (seriously I'm hooked on Blade and Soul). I just hope the story doesn't suffer because of it, and I would have liked to be the main character as well.
I mean that's just a huge tattoo. It's nice, but I can't really change how a preset face looks, can I? I can't make the eyes bigger or raise the eyebrows or any of that, right?
Gifs from the trailer. Tried to keep them to areas most of us who've kept up with trailers have seen already.
Most interested in exploring this one.

I know what you mean, I just like the kookiness.
I didn't even know there was character customization so I'll take it but it's not going to be even close to games like Fallout 4.

I might have just had a orgasm from those gifs
You know, I think that one mention on IGN about a lack of set-pieces or memorable locations feels really silly after watching this.

Yeah, I did something similar and found the same result:
for clarity this is default male face with Haircut #2.
This one is great.
Yeah that one really stood out. The giant flying thing in the distance along with the giant crystal spike and the aurora borealis just make it magical.
Also I can't believe I never noticed how the reveal trailer guy and the default make avatar are basically the same aside from hair colour (and hair shininess that they added). It does make me wonder who the black haired player character we saw in all the early trailers was supposed to be.
I will probably just go with default everything and leave his name as Cross
Customizing a character adds nothing to me
I really loved shulk, so I was bumped out too about the customizable character. However, I've heard chuggaconroy say that he had the same feel but that it works rather well. He says the blank character, and the story are better than he expected. And so, I hope they can pull off both, give the customizable character to those that care, and still give us a great story that is not hold back because of it
For reference, I love Zelda and Link is a silent protagonist, his facial expressions is done really well to convey something (chugga DID mention to keep his face visible or you will lose some of that).I also think fire emblem awakening did a great job at a customizable character
We will see I guess
Regardless, I cannot wait for this
Nintendo Life uploaded a vid showing battles playing as characters other than the avatar. So there's some battles with Lin, Elma and L. Pretty much spoiler free.

So I'm thinking we're going to get a Survival Guide detailing online either late in December/early January or just bunched in next month with FrontierNav and companies. Personally I want them to go over everything so I hope it's not the latter.
If we don't get online details and you're eager to get into all that, I noticed a write-up that details quite a bit over on the Xenoblade subreddit.

Have you tried sipping on ginger ale/ginger tablets for motion sickness? It helps my friend with hers.

That gif just made me realize the implications of no fall damage.

One of these days, I'd love to see the other characters in this game. Seems like all the promo stuff pretends like there's far fewer playable party members than there are.
Noooooo >.<I love that feeling so much. Close your eyes when you are gona juymp from a really tall cliff
that helps? Didn't know that. Looks like I'll need to buy some when I play this

Ginger helps settle an upset stomach. Another option are ginger hard candies, you can just pop one when you start feeling nauseous, and hopefully it'll help.
Make sure it's real ginger though, not just ginger flavoring.

Welp just saw the commercial for this on Adult Swim, seems to be fitting the same time slots they had for Bayonetta 2 and Hyrule Warriors.
Learn something new everyday
I was thinking of going back and playing XC but I was worried it'd burn me out. Gonna have to rely on Tales of Zestiria to get me through the next week
Ok, thank you.
I was playing Xenoblade all summer but stopped in August because of a trip. Then MGSV released, and it wasn't until this week that I 100%'d that game, so I realized I had to finish what I started with XC so I sat down and finished the last bit.

Please, tell us your experience
Filled with wonder and exploration.
This June-July I spent days just playing the game non stop. Generally really enjoyed the game, my only complaints is that enemies and bosses are unreasonably hard 3/4 levels lower than yourself. I found myself having to grind a bit for levels when I hit the 70's.
10/10 in my books.
Oh for like 60% of the game I was Shulk, Reyn, and Sharla. Then went to Tank n' Spank with Shulk, Reyn, and Dunban for 30% of the game. The other 10% involved Melia and Riki. Hardly ever used Seven.

Awesome, the crazy thing about that is the experts usually are taking down monsters like 20+ levels above them because they know how the game works in and out, you can especially see this with the super bosses(go to the mechonis hand if you ever play the game again, or if you still have a save file before the point of no return but after
the mechonis is destroyed and meyneth dies)

Don't worry, you'll be playing the game for a 4th of your life.
Oh I'm no stranger to seeing Super Bosses around, I saved my completed save to a new slot, so I still have my original save as well to mess around in.
But man I struggled a bit at that final fight until I found out the right team, had Shulk, Dunban (with a million agility up gems to take aggro and dodge hits), and Sharla to heal and basically everything was smooth sailing for that long fight. Seriously 600,000HP takes forever to burn through.
My team gets crushed so fast without her, and the

This might be a dumb question but does anyone know how well the game/tutorials explain the battle system? That's always my problem with JRPGs unless they're pokemon-basic.

I think it depends on how late you pre order games. I ordered Tomb Raider on the release week and it would have cost me money to get it on release day. I opted for the free shipping which came a few days later.
I think 2 weeks or earlier you should get free shipping on release day.
Officers, promote this man.

The data packs exist because the game as is literally fills the entire wii u disc. In other words, with the data packs, it's too big to fit on the disc. So no. That said, from what I've heard the game is still very playable without, you'll just get worse pop in and slightly longer load times (which only really matters when fast traveling)
I was refering to the Wii U Console + Game special pack. This one. It says preinstalled in the title (what would suggest a digital copy), but it show the game is included physicaly. Now, what is true? Or is the physical game with the data packs preinstalled?

Not to be confused with the Prone, they are just asscaves.
