I guess USGAF will just be getting the game when EUGAF has it beaten.

You need to create a Club Nintendo account and then register the game.
After that a link to download the soundtrack appears in the Treasure's menu of your account.

YES! Not quite sure where the gender mix-up came from.
And just out of interest, what level are your characters?
CruxisMana said:
After defeating that boss, all of them are now on level 19/20. So far I think I am always slighty overleveled but not enough to make the fights easy. Exactly how I like them. I keep forgetting to activate the Monado aura attack against Mechons though and only Shulk does damage then ^^
What level are your guys on?

Just played the first three hours or so and am not exaggerating when I say I'm completely blown away so far. Can find very little, of anything, to fault at this early stage. Hoping this level of quality keeps up throughout the entire game.

maybe you ;P Day 5. Surely it's on the truck in transit to my house right? :ORPGCrazied said:I guess USGAF will just be getting the game when EUGAF has it beaten.
Quests really are scarily addictive. It kind of sucks because I'm massively overlevelled as a result of trying to fill out the encyclopedia and do every quest I can find. Beat the boss everyone's talking about in the plains, haven't moved on... but I'm L25 already. By the time I even arrived in the plains most of the enemies there were the black 'too low level for you' with the odd blue one. Wish you could up the difficulty or something, I don't want to start skipping content because I enjoy finding it but almost everything is really easy at this point.Peff said:

How about we both get it today? That sounds better.Sadist said:Okay, someone help me out. How does topple work on a mechon?
I'm fighting that Level 10 Mechon with the face and I just can't seem to topple damage it. I'm lost
You need to cast "Break" on it - use Splash Edge if Shulk has it. Then have Reyn cast Wild Down to Topple it. Break wears off relatively quickly (can be upgraded through Arts menu), so you have to be quick. You can also perform a Chain Attack if available, then calmly set up your Topple.

This thread and that Edge review have convinced me. If NoA doesn't announce it by the time I'm done with the deluge of games that are coming in November, I'll import it.
This sounds like everything I want and more. I can't wait.

I had the same problem. Using a Chain Attack to topple him is a requirement of the battle, so the bar fills quickly. Use Splash Edge and Wild Down to topple him then
the battle should automatically end.
Nintendo apologizes for the preorder bonus confusion.

small heart attack this morning. Went to check the status of my order with 365games.co.uk and in the order status saw "processing refund". Sent them an email to find out what's going on and reiterate my desire to purchase this game. Now waiting for a response.
Very confusing as I got an email from them earlier this week letting me know that I was in North America but purchasing a PAL game and that they were giving me till the end of the week to respond or they would ship the game out on the 22nd.
So...if 365games falls through, what other sites do other gaffers recommend to purchase the game from?

Well mailman just delivered and no Xenoblade from GAME.
They do run on Saturdays, but I'm not expecting to see it until next week sometime. Sorry friends! Maybe someone will have some luck today in America, but I'm pretty close to the Atlantic, so don't get your hopes up everyone.

All of their orders to the US have been put on hold for the weekend to allow people to cancel their order since "US Wii's can't play PAL games".
The 'processing refund' status just means it's on hold. If you just leave the order standing, it should ship at the start of next week.

Phew. Thanks for the info. I appreciate it. Can't wait to dig into this game.

I think the game is a little too easy for my taste. It may just be that I essentially make it too easy since I'm pretty thoroughgoing when working on my quest log -- so I'm certainly well prepared for the mainquest -- but I'm little disappointed that not even some subquests have presented me with a bigger challenge at this point.

Hey, sorry, I know there are all sorts of links to homebrew stuff in here, but I remember a specific post made by a mod/admin a few days ago that was just a series of clear steps for what to do from start to finish to make this happen. I paged back through everything but couldn't find it, anyone know where it was?
Many of the quests can be quite difficult. Like the guy in the camp on the leg field who sends you to check out an ether deposit thatslaughterking said:
results in an ambush of like 8 bat enemies, resulting in quite a difficult (imo, anyway) battle
Plus many of the quests to kill unique monsters can be fairly difficult/rewarding.
But yes, if you do all of the quests, you will most likely put yourself in a position where the main story of the game won't pose a huge challenge.

Fuck this, www.redcoon.de told me they haven't received the game and expecting it at the end of next week. Trying to cancel, will go to a shop after work! Won't buy there again.

I've been wondering. Does this have progressive scan? I mean there have been a few PAL releases that for some reason were locked at 50hz, such as MadWorld (Which I imported from the US for this very reason)
Edit: Sorry if my Search-Fu sucks and this question has already been asked, btw!

I'll tell you what the box says : 50Hz/60Hz Modes Supported, EDTV/HDTV CompatibleEasy_D said:
Conclude what you want with that.
On the box it says EDTV-compatible
Anyway, played for two hours. The first time I talked to the merchant in colony 9, I got experience points and levelled up! Then again when I warped for the first time. I am pleasantly surprised you get EP for more than just fighting.
So far, I am gobsmacked. Really loving it and the Voice Acting is a nice change of pace from the American norm.

True, that was the most difficult quest so far and gave me some trouble, but it was still rather managable I think.Aeana said:
I guess I would just like to have for some borderline impossible quests. Something where I have to prepare myself extra carefully or even have to go back to later in the game.
To add to the responses already received, around the same time your order's status changed, you should have received an email explaining the situation. I missed mine only to find it two days later in my spam box.green_focus said:
Despite the email saying that I didn't need to write back if I wanted to proceed with the order, I did respond, stressing that I did not want my order cancelled. I got a reply back confirming that my order would ship on Monday, and just now received another email confirming that my game has shipped within the past 24 hours! Woo!
Its not perfect, but its pretty good.

boy, someone would have to be REALLY stupid to admit to piracy, even if it was the first half of a sentence that ended with "i've already purchased the game and it's in the mail".
good thing there's no one like that in this thread.
