Probably GAME. I wouldn't do Zavvi or thehut group though. I guess you get wait you pay for, cheap free shipping will take close to a month to receive it.

I'm about to start deus ex. It will be a great game but I dunno if it would be as good as the best RPG of all time.

It's fun, but not taking Xenoblade off my mind. Once I get Xenoblade, Deus Ex will go into a pile I'll probably not play for a long time.

35 hours. Location:
Story/Location Boss Battle:
I did have a complete blank moment on the boss though.
Valak Mountains.
Definitely the worst region of the game so far. Hard to navigate even with the map, annoying to walk back up because of the incline messing with the camera and seemingly random landmark placement. Considering there's a boss battle at the Great Glacier why not make it a landmark, instead of a miss-able, tiny little spire to the side? Luckily it's the shortest area yet, although I did enjoy the views and the transition to night was nice as well.
Story/Location Boss Battle:
Finally Mumkhar reveals himself, despite the fact that it's been obvious for at least the last 10 hours, but the reveal of the new Mechon Egil made up for that. Having never played a Takahashi game before I'm enjoying that the story now is nothing like the standard affair I thought the game could have verged into, with the Mechon actually being Hom's in Mech suits/Telethia/Assassins/Giants/Plotting/Ether instead of just evil Cockney robots trying to take over the world.
I did have a complete blank moment on the boss though.
I ploughed through the area and reached Mumkhar at level 44 (he's level 48) and got slaughtered with Shulk just hitting a load of 1's. So I spend a good hour or 2 doing some sidequests in the Mountains and repairing the Makna Forest bridge. So just before I come off I decide to give Mumkhar another go at level 46 and proceed to be slaughtered for half the battle. Only then did I remember that the Monado had been unlocked so that it can hurt the Faced Mechon, so a simple Monado Enchant and the rest was insanely easy. I felt like such an idiot for not having remembered that sooner...

Is it a must to use a classic controller or will the wii mote suffice?

but you won't receive packages (unless you paid extra for special shipping) especially in your area that's why saturday don't count.RPGCrazied said:

CC has better camera control but you lose the ability to (easily) move and select different attacks.
Wiimote+nunchuck has awkward camera control but you can move around and select attacks at the same time.
I went for the Wiimote+nunchuck just because I don't have a CCPro.

Side quest help needed:
I went exploring and beat a unique monster, then afterwards I got given a quest to defeat the beast but obviously it's no longer there because I killed it before taking on the quest. Did I break the game?

It's really hard to pick any real flaws in this game.
Gem customization is maybe one of them. It takes too long to do a proper armor comparison because you have to take out the gems first and then re-equip them again which can be a bit annoying. Also it takes too long to check what the invividual gems do (Press + multiple times).

I know, but that's only useful if you know that you want to switch to a specific piece of equipment. When checking random loot it doesn't help too much.

Reyn, might not be the best choice, but I don't think I could live without 'NOW IT'S REYN TIME!'. I'll stick with that team as well.

Hold onto them until you run out of inventory space then sort them by cost and sell the least valuable/most common* ones first to free up a few pages. They others might be worth keeping round for trade fodder. Its not like you have much need for money (and if you do quests you'll be knee deep in it) as the only goods worth buying in shops are skill manuals (and rarely equipment but loot you find is nearly always better or will be within 10 minutes of starting an area).

I had hours of my morning and afternoon whisked away from me in the blink of an eye today. I decided I was going to do some sidequests and I ended up getting tons from Frontier village, before I realised it I must have spent 2 hours in the jungle alone looking into every nook and cranny (and trying to get 8 of those freaking hode planks).
The point is I haven't had such a lengthy non interrupted gaming session in years, this game is just that good.

In which area can I find an Empress Beetle?
And regarding a sidequest in Colony 9's military district:
. I think I spent roughly 10 hours in that area before moving on.
And regarding a sidequest in Colony 9's military district:
Is it possible to collect the sword after you already collected the shield? And where can the sword be found?
I don't think that's true. There are tons of quests inApenheul said:

The Nopon at the end of Satorl Marsh (in front of those huge statues you had to climb) has the sword.
