Good thing the gamepad is the ideal way to play it... it even has a built-in break-time since I'll have to recharge that shitty battery.

Now I'm just at the mercy of UPS who has been delivering stuff at like 7:30pm lately.

I'm so tempted to buy that official more powerful battery for the Wii U pad.

 

[llehuty]

They're probably talking about the normal version (imo)
But some Micromania and Fnac are already selling the CE.

Huh, so the collectors edition is out one week before the game? Weird.

 

[Letep]

Can this be played entirely on the game pad if preferred?

Skell fan fiction oh my god Lin is too much haha.

Yes it can.

to be fair. it's officially tomorrow which game OT follows. cause some people got it early doesn't mean OT should go up early ;P

[silva1991]

I don't think that I'll enjoy the story of this one, but I'll buy it anyways. literally the one game i'm interested in this month.

I was thinking about that gif as well lol.

 

[chadboban]

Skell fan fiction oh my god Lin is too much haha.

I saw that scene in a stream. lol.

"Oh yeah work it baby!"

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

lol they call them Skells in the western version?

What, doll was too "girly" or something? Do they even know their audience?

 

[foxuzamaki]

$40!?! Jesus Christ Nintendo.

Batteries aren't cheap

 

[cloudyy]

It was harder and more expensive for me to get the regular edition than the limited edition... WTF NoE.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Could someone PM TheMoon about the OT?

 

[Diablos54]

Loving the fashion gear setting already!

 

[Freeman76]

How much of a 'thing' is the online aspect? I cant seem to find much concrete information, to be fair I haven't searched the far corners of the net but wondered if anyone who is playing it can give me a bit of info please?

Tbh skell sounds a lot cooler and makes a lot of sense. Exo-skeleton!

 

[footfunghi]

guyze quiggg i have guestions:

can i choose japanese voices?
can i already buy and preload it from the e-shop in eu?
and how much moneta?

 

[Nightbird]

Little Off-topic!
I know this sounds weird, but is there something like a Powerbank that works with the WiiU?

I've been wondering for a while since the Console doesn't consume much power.

That's a no. And a no.

It's not much of a thing at all. Servers aren't up yet, though.

There's some actual info on it.

 

[Munter]

So, I bought the original game as it was cheap the other day. Haven't started it properly yet (did first intro bit). Is it worth me completing that first before buying the new one?

 

[Seth]

Anyone pre order the special edition from amazon? Says mine will ship tomorrow and arrive next tuesday... I have 2 day shipping and have always gotten games on release day. Not sure why this is delayed.

 

[footfunghi]

That's a no. And a no.

this cant be happening....

Spoiler

now i hate you

The two are not connected story-wise whatsoever from what I can tell. The closest thing I've seen is Lyn's hairclips are tiny monados.

Xenoblade Chronicles for the Wii/3DS is a decent game in it's own right, however. So... it's up to you, I guess? One is a more structured JRPG with open world elements while this one is more about exploration and finding crazy stuff.

I don't know, play either one but playing this one, then going back to Chronicles might be result in you suffering "graphics shock".

Hey, I'm as bummed out as you are! Especially about no preload, I could be playing the game in 6 hours but nooooooooo

 

[Phloxy]

So has it been answered if it runs faster as a digital download or as a disc with the data packs installed?

 

[GwyndolinCinder]

4 hours in seems the tutorial just finished

More or less exactly the same, apparently

Now that you are done with your homework, you can go play in the yard.
