I found out about this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Rainfall earlier today. For those who dont know, apparently there is a campaign underway to attempt to persuade Nintendo of America to bring Xenoblade and two other Wii RPG's to the US. From what I was reading, they have already convinced the Japanese publisher so here's hoping Nintendo of American pulls their heads out and brings these games over cuz the RPG market in this country has been crap this year
I might get it, but I'm still waiting for Tales of Graces.
I remember hearing about this some years ago in a gaming mag... Xenoblade is supposed to be the next "Xeno" game from the guys behind Xenogears (!!!) and Xenosaga (wtfiswrongwithyou). I'll reserve my judgment when I get my hands on it--jrpgs have been in the shitter for a while
Lets encourage pirating by region locking our consoles and restricting a games release to a major country. :/
(Im mad its not here in the states.)
A friend of mine recently imported this, and I got to play it and and also watched him.
It *might* be my favorite RPG this gen. And I've played some damn good RPGs. Seamless open world, fantastic music, awesome characters, great artstyle, fun battle/leveing system and then some.
I will reserve final judgement until I get my own copy and play through it though, since I only got to play a few hours and it can be a 100ish hour game if you want to do everything like sidequests and full exploration and whatever. Almost every UK import store is back ordered so I prolly won't get it til close to October. Stupid NoA. This game should be lauded and they are sitting on it when it's already translated to English.
Edit: And anyone who REALLY wants to play it, modding a Wii takes about 15 min and a 2g gig SD card with an internet connection. I will never advocate piracy but if NoA wants to deny you this gem then f*ck em, you are paying for a copy this way and still get to play in English. Again though, most import stores are backordered so it might be a while...
