No Dutch store is selling it yet. I guess they're all being good boys and selling it on the 19th, sigh.

Guess their employees couldn't resist the greatness and are now playing your copy and will sent it over when they're done with it.

So annoying having it preordered in-store after seeing all of these early dispatches.

First impressions are;
+Good cinematics, presentation is good, nice opening menu and stuff
+Characters look less fugly in motion, which is good
+Awesome music
+Great looking environments
+Reminds me a lot of FFXII (battle system, loot, boss mobs, quests etc)
+The (english) voice acting is well done, but I don't know if it really fits yet, maybe it's a grower
-I couldn't find an option to turn off the battle voices, so there's a shit load of yelling and banter throughout all of the combat, really could do without that
-The camera is kinda iffy to control, hold the c button and then press the directional buttons to rotate it, only it doesn't respond very well. It's nice we can zoom in/out though
Basically I can't wait to dive in later

Did NOE ever release any English screenshots in the end, I forgot. So the Monado screenshots are the most easily accessed for the press.Marrshu said:
I recall someone saying earlier the sound settings had a setting for voice but that was global (so cutscenes etc).BlazingDarkness said:
But yeah voices in combat...I seem to remember Baten Kaitos would always have voices in combat even if you turned voices off so maybe its just a Monolith problem in general (can't figure out right control).

Bah, I hate you all. Ordered from Amazon when their price dropped (I like Amazon, so sue me) as I don't want the collector's edition, and now Game have dropped their price and shipped out incredibly early
Oh well, I don't have the time to play this before the weekend anyway. Am moving house on Saturday and have all of next week off (plus it's a Bank Holiday Monday the following week!) so hopefully I'll be able to get some juicy playtime in with this.

The third Let's Play video is online: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbnARvrmYBY
I only skimmed through it, so I'm not sure what it's exactly about. I saw some of the crafting, though.

I...I didn't even know there was crafting in this game
there are going to be five months of non-stop playing between this, Skyrim and SS

FUUUUUU I completely forgot about this game's release. My brother is the one holding the Wii and I JUST left his place on Saturday (should have taken it with me). Meaning I won't get to play Xenoblade for months. I need to go somewhere and cry my eyes out.
MicH said:AWWW YEEAH!
GAME has shipped my collector's edition! Finally! (Also: haven't gotten the email yet, only the status log on the website says it).
Let the waiting begin
