I'm alternating between New Super Mario Bros Wii (collecting the star coins) and Shadow Hearts (got it from Ebay recently and am playing through it for the first time).

Terraria is a wonderful time sink.
That and about ten games from the Humble Indie Bundle. God bless you indie developers!

This is a pretty fast moving thread considering it is about a JRPG on Wii that wont come out in North America.

I'm a slow gamer and tend to take things one at a time, so I'm just biding my time.

Is there any way to change the order in which characters chain-attack?

I'm trying to finish up Muramasa: The Demon Blade and my replay of the Warcraft 3 campaign. Made a good dent in Muramasa today so I should have stuff finished up by the time Xenoblade gets here.

I've spent about 300 hours with that game (about 80 or so with friends). It's the only thing keeping my Wii consistently plugged in, as I go back to it several times a week. It depresses me to no end that it sold terribly.
<3 Treasure.

Morrowind, just to compare the graphics and environments with XenobladeReveirg said:
No, seriously, I'm actually playing it. But with mods, so comparisons would be pretty unfair.

I'm replaying Shadow Hearts 3 while I'm waiting. I've been skipping most of the cutscenes because honestly, the game's story is pretty bad, but it has a good battle system and lots of sidequests to keep me busy.

Is there an option to turn the voices off?

Haha, could you imagine the uproar? Metacritic and GameRankings would take it as a 0/10!slaughterking said:Don't give it a score and let the review text speak for itself.
I gave Disaster: Day of Crisis 9/10, and he really didn't like that game...so perhaps he and I have differing tastes.Franchuzas87 said:Obviously a 10, we need to prove that Reggie is wrong!
On Wii, yes. Fragile would be next in the genre on Wii for me. Not played Sakura Wars, though. Definitely leaning more towards a 10 at the moment. Dished one out for Dragon Quest IX, which shocked a few people, but I don't think 10 for Xeno would be quite as surprising.Corleth the Fey said:

I read somewhere the options menu has sliders for music, voice overs and battle voices. So I think you can. I might turn those off too. The constant rambling during a fight seems annoying.

Okay thanks! I'll probably turn off voice overs and battle voices, I'm probably one of the few people on GAF that think VA a lot of the time brings down the overall experience, even if the quality itself is good, such as with Atlus localizations, I'd just rather read the textRPGCrazied said:

I see. Is there a time limit to chain-attacks? I think there was one instance where my third character didn't get a turn because I spent too long picking the first two moves.

Ugh... I didn't like that game neither. Serious pace issues in my opinion. Still interesting, but I think Monolith should keep doing what they do best: RPGs.jesusraz said:
By the way, when can we read the review?
Lord Ghirahim said:
sounds more like he was stunned or lying on the ground or something like that. - if he is not "connected" to your main hero (blue line), he wont be part of the chain attack.
if your characters like each other enough, its possible to keep the chain going indefinitely. i got a 10+ chain once.

You can change the time at will as well.
NPC's move depending on the time and some monsters will only appear during certain hours of the day.

What I saw of the import, pretty fast. Under 10 mins gooes into evening if I remember correctly.

Shadow Hearts is the first game I've played in the series. I've heard the third one is aimed at a younger audience...
I really like the game, though the voice acting is terrible and the graphics have (obviously) aged alot. It really feels like a lost PSX-era RPG with the pre-rendered bacgrounds and all. The unique setting is the thing I like the most. I'm surprised they portrayed the Japanese occupation of Manchuria as negatively as they did.

Damn, that last line about lovingly combining elements from both Japanese and Western RPGs sounds almost sad considering the game did not get a North American release.
But he did say that they didn't try to emulate Western RPGs since that wouldn't play to their strength as developers.

You haven't played FFXII yet? Man, I wish I could play that again for the first time. That game was great.

The game does everything to give you an awesome feeling of freedom though, so I somewhat doubt that anyone actually "rushed through it".

All I want is a long, large-scale, big budgeted JPRG for the Wii. Just one. ;A;
