I guess. But when did gametrailers start covering EU only games?

RPGCazied's feelings and situation reminds me exactly of this old Calvin and Hobbes strip where Calvin orders a Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs Beanie and is going insane waiting for it. Singlehandedly my fav C & H adventure of them all. Apologies for the size of the strip. It was kinda tough to find.

Same place as you, Day 11. Don't get your expectations so high. I mean I did, and look what its doing to me.
Sometimes I like to think the gaming media is having fun sticking it to Nintendo of America with all the coverage the game is getting. It deserves it simply for being a great game and that is the real reason. Though one can hope and dream. Here is a great game, getting great reviews, and is 1st party yet NoA refuses to localize it. I like to think NoA is a butt of a lot of jokes and cause of a lot of laughter at NoE and other gaming media offices.

Prison Island
HOLY SHIT.
Story (massive spoilers for above location):
Some big twists here! The story has a lot of different aspects now. So Metal Face is Mumkhar and Silver Face is Fiora. In that case who was Xord? I remember someone mentioning a reference to him in Colony 6 quite a few pages ago but I haven't seen the reference in person. I'd love to know what the Faces/Bionis Order and Alvis/Zazza are working towards...
Late game (?) spoiler regarding
Silver Face
that Fiora becomes a playable character again later in the game. The person who posted Dolphin screenshots before the games release was playing as her

Oh I'm trying. After I get it this game will be old news. I'll be one of the few poor saps working their way through the game. It'll be like a ghost town. :lol

At least when he gets the game he won't have to suffer the disappointment Calvin goes through when he finally gets his package.

X was probably someone from colony 6, since sharla seems to know the name xord. It is never mentioned again in the main story though. I suspect there might be a story about him in the side quests.

Ah.
I hope there's an opportunity to find out more about him. He's been my favourite antagonist so far.

I usually play JRPG's primarily for the story, so I'm easily drawn in.
A big plot twist was overdue as well.

K...loving this.
I can't help but think I want british voice overs for all my RPGs...(maybe even all my games...)
Only thing I'm not loving are the controls.
Has anyone tried playing this with the Monster Hunter Tri controller? (I'm at work and I just had the idea to use it...maybe?)

He's not actually at spiral valley, I found him near a mountain north from there. He's very small so easy to miss but I think he's with some of those big cow-things (aknu?).Kjellson said:

Ah anyway.... a quick slice down the celophane, pop open the box...smell the new game smell...turn on the wii... boot up the hombrew channel.....gecko....
I WANT MY MOTHAFUCKING GAME COTDAMMIT OR I'MA CHOKA BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You mean the classic controller pro?bigdaddygamebot said:
I've been using it from the start and it does the job perfectly.
Normally I'm someone who will always go for motion controls if the game was supposed to play with it, like in Mario Kart Wii.
But in this instance I'm perfectly content with the classic controller pro and haven't even thought about using the wiimote+nunchuck combo.
No, he's notTwilight Princess said:
from Colony 6. Xord is actually the father of an NPC (I think Dorothy? Could be wrong) in Colony 9. When you talk to her, she mentions how her father named Xord was a blacksmith and loved to swing his hammer around. He was also killed (or not!) in the big battle with the Mechon.
Curiously enough, she talked about this before it's revealed that the masked Mechon have the souls of Homs. Actually, I haven't even reached the part in the game yet where that's explained; I've only arrived in Alcamoth (I'm just speculating, since it seems rather obvious from the premonitions and that bit of dialogue).

When Xenoblade was first announced, given the name and that it was for the Wii, I thought it was probably going to be a spinoff like Dragon Quest Swords where you actually do this. So glad it turned out to not be the case.
And of course it makes me angry that this guy has the game and I don't

I do not recommend to swing your Wii like a sword.

Downloaded it without any hiccups. I used a download manager though, maybe that helped? If it had crashed I could've easily resumed the download. Didn't need though.
I use Free Download Manager.
You can, but that limits you to travelling between landmarks in your current area. The menu -> Area Maps method lets you travel between areas without teleporting to the start of the area, move back to the previous one, repeat that most new players end up doing before they realise.Ulthwe said:
