This page needs more Reyn time.
Anyone remembers which monsters drop jagged tails? I had a dozen or two, but sold them because my inventory was full (and it didn't seem rare, judging by the amount of those things I had), and now I need three and can't remember where I got them. 
Also, how exactly am I supposed to climb Hollow Bone in the mountains to reach the den? Can't find anything to climb there...

I managed to get the last copy left in my nearest GAME today and it happened to come with the controller.
Can't wait to give this a go tomorrow.

I also love how some quests give you bad reputation even though you did nothing wrong. There's a quest early on whereSennorin said:Lol, played another 4 hours just doing sidequest in colony 9. So good. I really like how you get to know all these npcs and how their relationships keep getting connected.
But holy shit, some douchebag soldier sent me to kill a single baby Arma. wtf
you help to develop a new curry recipe. While the curry ends up being incredible, it's too much work to mass produce, so it won't get sold -> customers disappointed, you are in it and therefore lose reputation. Even though (or because) you did your job and the result was awesome.
There are also some multiple choice quests where the seemingly evil choice is actually the right choice. Great stuff. Only thing I don't like is that in fetch quests with several options, whichever condition you fulfill first counts. And you usually already have the items for the "bad" outcome (which, funnily enough, is actually the "correct" solution in some cases).

Needless to say it's definitely my favourite RPG this gen, and I don't think I'm even half way through

CCP.
Feels more natural with that. Wiimote you have to hold a button down to rotate the camera.

CCP is superior. The wiimote just doesn't have buttons that fall naturally to hand. The 2 button being especially awkward if you want to trade with people.

So I reached
today. Wow. That place is pretty. I loved the short intro to it, though, perfect use of the "Wait, what?" style of cuts.
Wait, what was that second one again? The way there through
was pretty creepy. You know something bad is going to go down in that area later. It has "difficult boss fight" written all over it.
Speaking of
. Uh, how does she work? Tried taking her into battle and... I don't get it. The enemies died, but she don't really mesh with any of the others as far as I can tell. I hope she gets a Topple attack, or that Shulk gets one soon. Break -> Topple -> Daze is good.
Also overall experience with the game so far is good, it has a soothing feel to it. Soothing isn't the right word, I think, but the game just flows slowly along, even when you're fighting. Just calm playing along. I think it's the music.
A funny little touch is an achievement I "earned": "Terminal Velocity". Yup, there's one for falling to your death. I... got knocked off a high cliff by a bird.

I ordered mine near the beginning of this month and it was shipped this morning...but it didn't release until Friday. I saw a few other people ordered from them yesterday and it also shipped this morning...so my bet is that they'll just despatch it the day after order now that it is out.

Well. I'm use to playing this way since the PS2 jRPG's days. If you think the Wiimote feels more natural, more power to you.
My copy arrived in the mail today! I'm in the US, in the Chicago area for location reference. My Wii has been modded for quite some time so it's all ready to go! I even have an external HDD so I think I'm going to set my Wii up to do Configurable USB loader and play it off the HDD. It's probably a wise choice judging by how massive this game appears to be and how much time I'm likely going to be spending with it. My Wii's disc drive is still in excellent shape, but I'd rather be safe and play via HDD than be sorry and have the disc drive give out now. The original modding part was ridiculously easy, setting it up to run off the HDD shouldn't be a problem.
On the last page I saw a few people on the East Coast still waiting for it and I'm downright shocked I got mine before any of you! I figured East Coasters would have it by Friday, Saturday at the latest. So RPGCrazied and DMPrince should have theirs by tomorrow I'd think, I'd be really surprised if it doesn't get there until Wednesday.
But wanted to post and let everyone know that people in the US ARE starting to get their packages in, but it appears to be arriving gradually depending on the area you're in. Here's hoping most of the US importers will have their copies by the end of the week!

Melia is the only character that has an instant topple attack that works on nearly any enemies including bosses. Its why she's the cheesiest character and bestMcNum said:
in terms of using her, she's an ether powerhouse with crazy aoe dealing spells. Use in conjunction with her sleep spell as well.

12 hours in... Holy shit I need to sleep after playing all last night, but my body craves Xenoblade more than sleep right now.

wiimote for me. Just had a baby, easier to cradle her in one arm holding the nunchunk and mote in the other hand. Can't get the proper position with the CC. Don't have the pro, but I assume it's similar. Also, trying it with the CC. I don't like the fact I can't choose my next talent while moving. It's one or the other.
For the combat bits I think the wiimote is better.
For the inventory stuff, probably the cc.

I picked up a classic controller pro today, only because the camera was down-right annoying to deal with. The Wiimote is still very good though.

So I think I've done all the time limited Bionis Leg quests, now to get on
. I can already tell I'm going to completely lose myself in it and forget about the main story for a good long while.

Someone from North Texas got his copy today. That's about where I am. Of course we got it from different sites, but ASDA and Zavvi have the same type shipping. The free one. I should get it tomorrow. We shall see though.

Hey there! I ordered from Game, and they shipped it last Tuesday..said 4-6 business days so they were well within that and I'm very pleased with Game with it being my first importing experience from them
I am in the South Suburbs, so I am truly surprised you didn't get yours today too! I knew there was a fellow Chicagoan waiting on their copy as well but could not remember your screen name for the life of me! I would say definitely tomorrow for you, with being in the same area and everything
RPGCrazied said:
I sure hope you do! You have been super excited for this game so there's NO way you're going to dislike it. From everything I'm reading it's the best game we will have played in years. I have been waiting for an excellent JRPG for a long time as well. My JRPG days go back to the Super NES days. and while I loved some of the JRPGs this gen like Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon there definitely hasn't been many good old fashioned JRPGs this gen, that's for sure. So I'm grateful NOE went through with the localization.
