Support NeoGAF

[StuBurns]

CCP is supported yes.

Awesome, this will probably be my last Wii game, and it looks like a nice way to bow out.

 

[The Technomancer]

I'm not as excited for this as I was for Xenoblade, but I still hope it makes it to NA

 

[Vrakanox]

I've had this on pre order awhile now. Hopefully it gets here before march. /doubt.

 

[boiled goose]

FU NOA.
That is all.

 

[Criminal Upper]

Reminder

The Last Story: Limited Edition (Wii) - £29.98 @ Coolshop

..and yes, Coolshop is a reputable store, they just have not spend money on getting a good designer for their site.

Ships internationally?

 

[ReConstructDead]

Should get the LE version the 27th
A late birthday present for me, so excited!

 

[@MUWANdo]

Someone in the last thread suggested that the co-op stuff had been expanded for the PAL release - can anyone confirm/deny?

 

[RurouniZel]

Can't wait for 365Games to ship my copy next week! ^_^

 

[Wiseblade]

Great OT I really hate the all image ones that are popular now.

The game's cobet focus has me really interested and the multiplayer sounds intruiging.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Lucky EU people once again! I wanted to play this so bad before Tales of Graces F. No way I'd get it in time. Took like 2 months for my import of Xenoblade to arrive. Oh well. At least we are getting ToG F and Ni no Kuni earlier.

 

[ZombiePlatypus]

How's the story in this game?

Also, why on god's green earth is there no confirmed American release? What, NoA, are there too many Imagine Babyz-esque titles on Wii clogging up demand for entries like The Last Story?

 

[Community Forum]

Ordered to the US from HMV.com. Crossing my fingers it makes the journey across the sea safely and most importantly quickly.

 

[LiK]

Hype!

Completely forgot this releases next week.

same, lol

 

[Keyser Soze]

FU NOA.
That is all.

But you guys get Rhythm Heaven Fever long beofre us... you should not be mad!

Ships internationally?

I think they only ship UK/Ireland currently. They used to do other countries, but recently cut back. I don't think they ever did US.

A good few UK stores are cutting the price of the pack lately, so Amazon UK could pricematch soon. Worth keeping a lookout there (http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B006VVGFOW/)

The way they announced Xenoblade made it seem like they were deliberately pushing it into Q2 in order to even out the books as far as budget is concerned; maybe they're holding off on a TLS announcement for the same reason.

 

[Hours Left]

I'm really hoping Xenoblade's eventual US release will also indicate the same for this title, though in a more timely fashion.

 

[LProtag]

I already have everything on my Wii set up for importing games after Xenoblade... Hm.

 

[Zebra]

Likewise. And if we could get that limited edition version as well, that would be grand.

 

[Mejilan]

Waiting for me UK LE to ship from HMV.

If it helps you make up your mind, Xenoblade had huge stock problems for almost a month after its initial release, so it is likely the same could happen here again. If you decide to wait, then you could be stuck wanting the game when there is no stock available, and have an extra month long wait on your hands waiting for Nintendo to restock Euro shelves... or maybe they learned their lesson time, and might shove decent stock out.

 

[LProtag]

What's the word on language options? Japanese audio included or no?

 

[Ra1den]

Can't wait to play this! Glad to see it getting very good reviews also.

 

[AkimbO_Arcana]

LE will be like a golden crown on my backlog stack

 

[Torraz]

Is there dual audio?

What's the word on language options? Japanese audio included or no?

Thirded. Would also very much like to know.

Also, how is the xenoblade availability? Not sure if I want to get this on day one since I'm swamped with games at the moment.

 

[Ultratech]

Oooo...I like the OP.

And wasn't Multiplayer Co-Op referred to as Raid Mode in the JP version?

Kinda weird they changed that. Deathmatch makes sense as a replacement for Versus Mode though.

 

[Zornica]

Thirded. Would also very much like to know.

nothing has been said yet abouth the original voices... so guess they were cut this time.
It's kinda sad, but at least it's coming, right?

Yeah, too bad. I can live with dubs if they are persona 3/4/tales of vesperia quality, but far too often there is that cringeworthy element deteriorating the experience for me.

 

[zlatko]

No picture of da Gooch in the OT? What is this madness!?

 

[ReConstructDead]

Some European review mentioned that the Japanese voice acting isn't available, unfortunately.
Btw, does anyone know if the game has missable stuff?
One of the few disadvantages of getting the game early... no missable stuff list :|

 

[MadSkillzBahamut]

So how well did Xenoblade do in terms of sales overall anyway?

People that have played the game: how good is The Last Story compared to Xenoblade?

 

[Pyrrhus]

Yeah, too bad. I can live with dubs if they are persona 3/4/tales of vesperia quality, but far too often there is that cringeworthy element deteriorating the experience for me.

I wouldn't worry. The voices in Xenoblade were very good and this dub was done by the same outfit from what I've heard.

 

[Hasemo]

I've played the Japanese version and didn't know there was multiplayer. X.x

 

[tinders]

My Wii disc drive is dead, but I've still preordered.

Will need to go to a mates place to rip it to my USB.

I'm REALLY looking forward to this!

 

[Dreams-Visions]

nice thread.

 

[Supermanisdead]

watched that character trailer and the first thing i said was "yes.... no children!"

 

[The Giant]

Does anyone know how long is this game?

 

[Keyser Soze]

Does anyone know how long is this game?

30 hours was touted by the game director, Hironobu Sakaguchi, ahead of the JPN release. Although he also said the game has replayability

I don't think Amazon UK ships internationally either.

That's a pity, I got a few items from Amazon US (Blu-rays usually)... I thought it would work the other way round :/

 

[weeaboo]

Can't wait for The Last Gooch

 

[Zebra]

According to this, blu-rays are okay, but video games are not.

 

[Grape]

Thanks for the clear and thorrough explanation!

Random fans. Though, the one(s) interested usually ask for it first and then posts it 7 days before release (at least).

Basically, depends on what the thread creator wants to put on it. Could be a concise/direct to the point OT (like this one),. There are OTs that are quite big and take numerous posts, others that are shorter and a few that are more fun/joke.


****

Can't wait to hear more impressions about this in English. So far everything looks quite tight and the multiplayer looks fun.

Though, is there any way of communication online? Text chat?

 

[Franchuzas87]

Vandal (Spanish website) gives it a 9.2

One of the best Japanese RPGs of the last ten years

It has made us remember those long winter evenings glued to the console with one of the Final Fantasy of the first PlayStation, and simply re-live that feeling is priceless.

 

[ecosse_011172]

I don't think Amazon UK ships internationally either.

It does, I live in Switzerland and big from them several times a month.

 

[Mr YuYu]

Will probably buy this. Is it worth buying the LE for the artbook and the cd? The artbook looks kind of small :-/

Any word on the story? Is it any good?

 

[Necron]

Really looking forward to this. A lot of the concept art reminds me of Final Fantasy XII for some reason.

 

[Desmond]

They ship to the rest of Europe, not NA

Last I looked, the regular and limited editions were the same price on Coolshop.

The soundtrack is streamable on the NOE website, so if you like the sound of it the cd might have value. Or it might make the cd redundant.

The art is all over the net as well.

 

[thomasmahler]

Does it run on Dolphin?

 

[Westlo]

This will be the 3rd Wii game I've picked up in the last couple of years, Sakura Wars and Xenoblade being the other 2. Hopefully it's discounted in some Australian chain... looking forward to this anyway!
