That was beautiful. It looks like FFXII, but with a much bigger world to explore.

So there IS a chance it'll get localized for the states?

Thanks neo. Sounds like this might be the closest book to the Xenogears Perfect Works and Xenosaga Ep1 Materials Collection we get for this game. Though at that price I don't expect anything as elaborate. Will grab it though, thinking back XB is probably my goty for 2010.

Rhis Field Map Exploration (14 mins) thing is so amazing... Mindblowed. Beatiful landscapes, exploration... Damn... it's so beautiful it hurts.

Seriously, this. The game had dropped under the radar since there were no mentions of it coming to America, but after seeing that video... It'd just be shameful for it not to come over. D:

Also, holy crap, that artbook is gorgeous looking. Do want.

This is my #1 anticipated Wii game. When we can get forgettable crap like Arc Rise Fantasia but not Xenoblade, the world is an unjust place indeed.

I am really interested in this game, but I don't think I have the time to properly enjoy it anymore. I really wish I did, it does look amazing.
 
Does anyone know the exact reason NOA is resistant to these games? Is it because they feel that the cost to market it will be too high? They have so much free calendar space.
 
Sorry to bump a relatively old thread, but my wife just brought this back from Japan and I put in a good hour today. Holy shit, it's absolutely amazing. I can't believe how modern and polished this feels. It's like they took a ton of awesome stuff from MMORPGs and made a great single player RPG out of it.

I'm extremely impressed by the game, and after reading some JP reviews of it, it looks like I will be playing it for a very long time since I love to do side quests and optional content.

Is anyone else playing this right now?

New news, new thread!

This is the |OT|!

I really wish I bought this at release. I made sure to make my wife pick it up new. That's one more sale at least...
 
If this doesn't get announced by xmas, start worrying. ;/ I'm fearing the same fate just like ToG.

We still have Last Story, right? RIGHT?

Line Attack Heroes is there too, so it doesn't really say anything.

Line Attack Heroes turned in a WiiWare title, they didn't mention WiiWare titles in that list?
I'm on work so can't display the whole screen to see it in detail =P

Does anyone know where to order this? Wanted to get this from cdjapan, but its just listed but not even preorderable (even though it comes out in a week?).

Sorry for all you waiters, this bump has nothing to do with localization :lol .
 
Stupid bumps, why can't you just accept that we will nev....

BELIEVE!

Anyway, it's hard to believe this hasn't been localized. This seems like a big budget AAA game that would be marketed heavily, not something that would be left behind in Japan.

Hard to believe that we're still stuck in the mid 90's when it comes to JRPG localization. At least Sony has done away with region locks.

Honestly the American's had more imitative in the mid to late 90's to localize RPG's because I remember being able to play them all, it more or less feels like a total step backwards from the 90s compared to all the RPG's I was able to play new back in the day.

Also it's ridiculous no one addresses the problems and it's sad because no one even bothers to ask. I mean given I've seen emails go back and forth but when was the last time someone like a Kotaku or IGN fought for getting answers from Reggie, Namco or whomever about localization attempts. Demand seems to have completely taken a 180.

That would imply that gaming journalism was actually a form of journalism.

Novel idea eh? Makes me wish I could take stab at it once in a while and maybe actually be one of the only news outlets whom anyone in our industry trusts. Alas, I'm terrible with languages and I would spend hours critiquing a single 500 word paragraph.
