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.

The whole video is just about gem crafting.

Some choice quotes;

Sharla: I could really do with a shower right now.

Basically gem crafting! So robust! I can get lost in just doing that.

 

[donkey show]

Yay! Game just sent the delivery e-mail to me just now. Two days and the CE is mine!

Plus my wife just texted me our new Panny plasma just got to our flat. So hype!

 

[RPGCrazied]

I wonder where mine is. Surely on a plane by now. Should be like 3pm in EUland.

 

[CruxisMana]

It is 2:41pm, so it should have been travelling for a good few hours now.

I'm trying to convince my friend at GAME to steal my copy when he's at work tomorrow.

 

[Fritz]

Well, the book Amazon sent me yesterday didn't include Xenoblade. :|

I should order pron or some kinky sex toy, that should distract them.

Should be on a plane for like 16hours, right? Never flown overseas, don't know the exact distance. lol

8 hours for the east coast, 12ish for the west coast. Though that does depend on whether it stops along the way.

 

[LiK]

Shipped

I'm in Texas, so I guess the maximum amount of time.

probably still in the city driving around to london before taking off tomorrow.

 

[RPGCrazied]

No! We are thinking positive, remember? Aren't you American? You should be on my side. :lol

missing its plane because it had to hunt down some tacky Kate and Will memorabilia.

 

[PixyJunket]

I just placed my order. Despite despising every Monolith game I've ever played. Sigh.

Did you play Baten Kaitos Origins by any chance?

 

[CruxisMana]

Got looted en-route to the airport.

 

[PixyJunket]

Did you play Baten Kaitos Origins by any chance?

Nope. I think I played the first one and it was way too slow and plodding for my tastes.

[Reveirg]

CE edition shipped!

I think it's weird everyone mentions Baten Kaitos Origins, yet I've never really enjoyed that game... I tried playing the first 2 hours but couldn't get into it. Very slow game, but I should probably try again.

On the other hand, I really enjoyed the first BK, the 3 Xenosagas, and I'm currently playing Disaster and enjoying it!

Just got the email, CE otw!

 

[RPGCrazied]

Origins is better in every way than the first BK. I say give it another try.

 

[Zafir]

I own BK origins, imported it last year, but since I haven't completed the first one I haven't touched it yet. (Yes I do realise it's a prequel, but still)

 

[Fritz]

Yeah, you guys should probably give it another try. I always thought it was way faster than the first one and actually to have one of the fastest rpg battle systems I know of.

 

[FatCat]

My copy from theHut has been shipped, should arrive in two weeks (which is fine because I have exams before then). Can't wait to get sucked in.

 

[Big Papa Husker]

Woo! I reordered off Game after my card was declined the first time and I just got an email that it has shipped. Anyone know if we get the posters that were detailed in the Nintendo press release?

 

[Anasui Kishibe]

shipped from shopto



boooooyaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

No, in store only.

 

[Neon_Icarus]

True.

This is a bit off topic, but it would be nice to hear an opinion from someone who played through Origins, but has no experience with the first one. I always feel like recommending Origins to people, but it's hard to say if playing through the first game affects critically on how much you get out of Origins.

I don't feel like telling people they should sit through a merely "good" game in order to play another.

I don't feel like telling people they should sit through a merely "good" game in order to play another.

From what I remember, there's a big quest in Origins that involves having a save file from EWatLO. Plus, it's not like the first one is a bad game, it's just kind of uninspired and plodding.

Regardless, it looks like they learned a lot of lessons from their earlier RPGs for Xenoblade.

 

[Zafir]

Well, I wouldn't be able to do that big quest anyway, PAL copy of the original game, hah. Suppose I could find a NTSC save somewhere.

Finally got the shipping email from GAME, and I am now in my house like this:

 

[AkimbO_Arcana]

Picked up my copy at my local games store an hour ago. I am looking at the title screen right now! I'm so happy, I have tears in my eyes...

The sad thing is, that I have a movie date with my girlfriend tonight

 

[Mudo]

ShopTo copy is enroute to the U.S , got email this morning!!

 

[GasProblem]

What local game store, where? D:

 

[iAmMaximus]

Just pulled the plug and decided to import from ASDA. This wait is going to kill me!

 

[AkimbO_Arcana]

What local game store, where? D:

2nd Reality - Hamburg, Germany

The Limited Edition only if you preordered it. The standard version you can just walk by and pick it up as I did

Edit: The game looks way better in motion than I was expecting from everything I've seen so far on youtube.

 

[Neon_Icarus]

From what I remember, there's a big quest in Origins that involves having a save file from EWatLO. Plus, it's not like the first one is a bad game, it's just kind of uninspired and plodding.

Huh, I did not know this. Which quest was this?

The first one is definitely not a bad game. I did enjoy it for the most part, though I wouldn't recommend it by itself to everyone.

 

[NeededSleep]

yay my EU version shipped! now to wait like 2 weeks or something!
oh but it will be glorious! <3 NOE .... NOA can rot

 

[bobbychalkers]

365games needs to hurry up and ship my copy.

 

[SecretMoblin]

I think (I'm too lazy to check) that it's called the "Heartflask" side quest... I know you get it from that guy in the Nihal Desert in the secret cave. I remember it taking a long time but not being very difficult at all.

 

[Twilight Princess]

i hate you guys =( i don't want to mod my wii ;_;

 

[Zafir]

i hate you guys =( i don't want to mod my wii ;_;

But, it's so eaaasssy to do?

 

[Clever Pun]

no kidding!

 

[Aeana]

i hate you guys =( i don't want to mod my wii ;_;

There are no downsides or risks.

 

[RPGCrazied]

There are no downsides or risks.

And it takes like 10mins to do.

 

[SecretMoblin]

i hate you guys =( i don't want to mod my wii ;_;

I was extremely wary about doing it, too. I just installed everything a two days ago. But I followed Clipper's guide and it works wonderfully. Plus, now that I've ripped my Wii games to a hard drive, they load faster.

If your only goal is to play an import copy of a game (like me), then it's safe, as long as you follow the directions carefully. If you have any questions, you should ask Clipper on this thread. Otherwise use the guide:

I've reached Central Mine with my characters at level 18. Every little encounter is as stressful as a boss battle.
