Yeah, but a limitation of the console, also makes it a limitation of the game as well, since they decided to put it on the Wii in the first place. 7 is perhaps a bit harsh, but I can see the reasoning. It's not like it affected the overall score much anyway.

I can understand IGN but Xenoblade has HUGE landscapes with nearly zero loading times. I mean, obviously the game would look hundreds of time better in a HD console but is not limited at all by the Wii hardware...

My order shipped from ASDA, now I just have to wait 10-15 days for it to make it overseas.

That's what my wait time says too. :( Though maybe it'll get here faster and they just put that so you don't go crazy if its a few days late.

Yeah. My UPS is pretty slow, and I normally don't get packages until late in the evening, like 8pm sometimes.

Maybe its FedEx! I doubt it though.

Does anyone have it?

Does it run on USA consoles?

Why would it not have English text? This is the European release.

And it runs on US consoles if you hack them.

For some reason I had it in my head that Xenoblade was coming out tomorrow, like most releases in NA. But I guess Europeans do things differently...

Damn it.

Do you already own a Classic Controller Pro? If not, don't regret buying it. It's the best controller for Xenoblade.

Wow, I've got to say, my first experience with ordering a game from Europe/GAME has been miles better than ordering from any Canadian website...

My usual experience with ordering from Amazon.ca/Best Buy/Future Shop involves a considerable feeling of 'getting lucky' if the game ships out within 2 days after its release date (this includes games where the release date isn't simply the 'shipping' date), never mind when I actually get the game.

But it'll look so pretty when it arrives in its fancy box with a snazzy red controller.

I agree, but I blame the weak US dollar. ($90!! ARGH!!)

Yeah, I actually do need one of those. I guess it's not all that bad, then.

About the 1,5h battles in the game (as mentioned by the review). I honestly cannot remember a part like that. I think the longest it took me was maybe 15-20min. I suppose if youre heavily underleveld it might increase the length, but also the chance to even be able to win the match at all.

Yaay, I pre-ordered the LE at a local game store just for the posters (already have a CCpro), turns out I just won the game + the 3 posters on XGN (a Dutch gamesite). Talk about luck :p

To be honest, I've never quite understood why you guys *don't* release on Fridays. It's payday, and a logical leadin to the weekend. It makes so much sense!

It'd be hilarious if the game came with a required firmware patch.

(Not that that'd actually cause problems if you were careful, but the complaining would go through the roof)

"15/08/2011 Your order is currently being picked and packed.
15/08/2011 Your credit/ debit card has been authorised and your order is now being released for packing.
Funds will not be debited until your order is shipped."

YEAH.

Any idea if "USA & Rest of the World Royal Mail 4 to 6 business days".. is actually accurate?

With a bit of luck, it could get here by FRIDAY.

Who remembers when this game (along with TLS) was nothing more than a webpage of the title screen and awesome title track? That was nearly 2 years ago! I can't believe within a few days this game will finally be mine. <3

EDIT: Well... I guess before that, it was at E3 under Monado. But like NOA, I choose not to remember that!

Yeah, I agree. I've always thought Tuesday was an odd day. But then again maybe that's because we're used to it?

Eitherway, I'm playing trauma team at the moment. A damn shame it wasn't released over here. That and Crystal Chronicles Crystal Bearers should keep me going till Xenoblade arrives.

The dispatch notification doesn't usually come till the end of the day UK time, so you could be waiting a while before it updates. :p

Considering I'm getting the game for $45 with international shipping, I'm not complaining.

That's cheaper than I could get an NA version of the game.

Heads up. My bank denied the transaction from GAME for some reason. If you are using a US debit card, check your order ASAP. I was able to reorder the special edition right away using my credit card and it went through this time.

Oh, I remember that too! I remember that thread on GAF. I also recall leaving that webpage open with its music playing for a long time... Does anyone remember which song that way, by the way? Was it just the main theme?

Yes! My GAME.UK order has been processed and it looks like it's about to be shipped! I've been able to keep Xenoblade "outta mind" for awhile to be honest, had other stuff going on and some other games to occupy my time. Just now am I starting to get excited!

Yeah, it sounds exaggerated. By the you realize you are having a hard time with a boss, you'll usually get thrashed. Being underleveled also means you'll miss more often with regular attacks and arts. All I remember is redoing 2-3 of the boss fights 6-7 times before I defeated them.
