I don't think he was serious.
Over the past day or so he's had a surprisingly... upbeat(?) attitude about the whole thing. If anyone deserves the game ASAP, it's him.
"Nomal pace" is a pretty vague expression in the case of Xenoblade. But, yeah, I think I entered Makna at roughly the same time.Ledsen said:
It's my least favorite area so far, somehow I don't feel like I can be bothered to explore that area. The village is super-awesome, though

Some have, some haven't. Depends on who you ordered through. I believe GAME has been the most prompt. Apparently people who ordered through Zavvi are doomed (glad I researched my purchase first). Expecting mine between Saturday and Tuesday since it didn't come today, as I've been following shipment arrivals for GAME across a few forums. People are getting them now.
RPGCrazied: Don't worry, I'm sure you'll get yours before |OT2| starts up. We're only 1/3 of the way there.

Didn't Nintendo invent achievements with Super Smash Bros. Melee?
Lol, another 2,5 hours played. Exploring the
-area was addicting. And in one sidequest something really cool happened:

Such a great game.
You know, I´ve been pretty let down by the Wii U´s current reveal, but...the thought of a Monolithsoft-game on Wii U makes me hyped for Nintendo´s new console.

I had to kill the leader of some group of monsters who damaged the aether windmill, and when I entered their hideout, one of the smaller monsters ran away to call the big ones. Had to retreat

Was talking about the hut group which includes Zavvi.Alrus said:
That sounds about right for amazon. I usually get my stuff from them easily within a week as well.
I'm not saying it always takes 4 weeks with those other 2 shops.
Usually it's around 2 weeks. Can be a bit less sometimes, but that seems to be the exception. Usually it's longer.
And yes, I've had several games take up till 4 weeks before they have reached me.
Last example was OOT which took exactly 1 month from the time they stated it was shipped, and I had preordered the game several months in advance. :-/

Look around you. 90% of people haven't received theirs from a variety of retailers, there's no point in singling out one shop when they are giving the exact same service as the others.

Really? I've seen so much discussion already about the game I thought most got it. Granted I've only been skimming as I've been trying to avoid any inadvertent spoilers. Sorry to grumble then.

Most of them live in Europe. Majority of importers don't have it yet.
Mostly Europeans. There's more of us around than you'd think! Some Americans have started getting it in recent days, at least. Then there's a couple of us who own the Japanese version joining in.RurouniZel said:Really? I've seen so much discussion already about the game I thought most got it.

Alright just put in an order for Xenoblade and Inazuma Eleven from The Hut. Got 4 pounds off with the code 4bank so it should end up being about $82... not too bad! Gotta read up on the steps on how to mod my Wii now.. never done this sort of thing.
Wow, both games are "usually dispatched within a month." Yikes!

Played 3 hours ( couldn't because of work ) this game is impressive dammit . the quest wher eyou have to go back to the quester can be annoying if you don't know where and when they appear and teh sheer maount of people can make this annoying to look at the graphics ( that is well done iMO ).
Very pleased by this game...

What is ether for? I see it on stuff like armor parts but I don't remember what it represents.
Also, in the second phase of this boss fight, are you supposed to attack
I got my ass kicked 2 times in a row so I may have to level up 1-2 times before trying to fight it again. Also, who do you guys mainly play as out of the 3 available characters at this point in the game?
Also, in the second phase of this boss fight, are you supposed to attack
the mechon tentacle spider boss's main body or do you have to get rid of its tentacles first? It's the first big boss you fight with Sharla after saving Juju in Colony 6.
Chanser said:
Thanks. I figured it may be this game's version of magic, but I still don't know how what it does. Is it just related to buffs and debuffs and/or does it have anything to do with the cool down period of waiting to reuse attacks ?
But which of those party members do you generally use as the party leader? I mean, who do you manually control most of the time ? I've basically stuck with Shulk but I wonder if I switch to someone else, if Shulk will be able to use his monado vision power automatically while being controlled as an AI party.

Well there's a quick help : level up a bit. I'm just after him, and stopped to tidy up some sidequets and the like, I was Lv69 when I fought him. Or if you really don't want to, maybe Agility gems would get you within the margins to actually land hits. In that case, you may need strong gems.

So, that's what agility does
I'll give it a try later today, life won't let me play Xenoblade 24/7.

Still nothing in the mailbox here, to be frank it's kind of annoying me since I wanted to spend a good part of my week-end playing it...well, I'll survive!
Can't wait to try it myself, people seems to really like it, which make this whole waiting process so intense. D:

Yeah when you fight enemies that are 6 levels above yours, you get a penalty of 120 agility...so if your team members don't have more than that, you'll be in the negatives and land no hits. The more you have then, the more chances you have to actually hit.Lord Ghirahim said:So, that's what agility does
I'll give it a try later today, life won't let me play Xenoblade 24/7.
Besides, you're doing something between 50 and 75% of the damage you would do at the same level, and you also have a penalty to guarding and ether resistance.
Ledsen said:
It's the point that I began to burn out with exploring everything. It's a big world, and I was doing all the side quests. Then they added an area where I had to back track and find alternative paths to areas and well, I didn't feel like exploring that much.
Also, wanted to get on with the story. =)

Activating "lightning" gives you an ether up bonus, "fire" an attack up bonus, "water" a regeneration bonus as long as you keep them summoned.Cwarrior said:
You then use your talent art to use your stocked summons (the last one summoned will be used up first) and unleash an effect. Lightning and Fire to attack your enemy, Water to heal yourself.
Do this a few times and you'll enter a state of elemental discharge that'll give you access for a limited time to some other spells, plus giving your unleashed effect a critical bonus while it's active.

Just used Sharla as main leader, found her to be fun. Ether affects all of the ether skills, but I don't think it affects the cooldown timer. I'm sure someone more knowledgeable can correct me if I'm wrong.
Regarding Monado, I had to go up to Shulk to enable his Monado powers after the visions.

After leveling up 2 times to level 21, I went back and beat that boss in Colony 6. The battle went more smoothly and quicker after using Sharla as party leader, upgrading weaponry and armor as well as some arts. Still, the boss put up a decent fight.
The voice acting is amusing in a kind of goofy sort of way. Although, the constant victory battle one-liners gets pretty annoying and repetitive.If just one character eventually says "Ello Gov-nuh" and then I would have no complaints at all.
I still don't have a clue on how to use that talent arts skill tree icon. Apparently, you can somehow "borrow" another party member's skills based on their affinity.

As long as you don't have any problems in the game, it's totally okayMistle said:
Trying to use other party members is pretty fun, though, all of them have a pretty diverse "feel" to them.It has, however, an affnity advantage if you play not only as Shulk. Most of the affinity stuff is between the party leader and the party. Which means that in the end everyone will love Shulk, but they aren't going to like each other very much.
Hiltz said:
The amount of skills you can "borrow" is dependant on your relationship to the other characters. The better the relationship, the more skills you can potentially borrow.
However, you also have to pay for those skills. In the progress of the game you get Affinity Coins, and every skill requires a certain amount of those coins. It's not a final decision, though. You can revert your decisions anytime and you get the coins back. You can't do anything wrong.

Sharla as a party member, because an old quest wants me to raise the affinity between them
