Xenoblade and The Last Story are both trademarked in NA so that's the biggest sign of localization

Another Wii RPG that will not sell that well in Japan and will not make cost effective sense to localize outside the country. Many of the same "innovative gameplay" and "awesome looking game" have been tossed around with with Xenoblade, 130k after 7 or 8 weeks I pretty sure The Last Story will follow the same line.

In Japan these days, unless you are a Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, Persona, Monster Hunter or another big name RPG franchise, 130k are actually respectable numbers.

That's what I thought. Actually, a bit over that, like 250.000 copies.

Nintendo is to blame because anything less than 3M worldwide is a failure.

Ah, so the game uses a 'Pointer,' not the pointer. At least that's cleared up.

And it's cute that they wrote the tanking skill into the story. Sounds like an MSORPG (Massive Single-player Offline Role Playing Game).
