I understand why games like Fatal Frame 4, Disaster: Day of Crisis,Trace Memory R, Takt of Magic, and Zangeki No Reginleiv haven't made it to the US (though that last one may still make it). Some because they were buggy and wouldn't be fixed, some because of quality (in the eyes of NOA), and some because sales expectations would have been VERY (VERY) low, as in a few thousands at best.
Xenoblade is in none of these categories though. Based on both what I see and player impressions of anyone who has played it, this is a different ball game in the quality department. And while it probably won't be a super seller, i am certain Xenoblade will sell more than all the above named games would have sold together - more than enough to justify bringing it over to the US. So I am certain that Xenoblade will be localized. If such a game is NOT localized, it will make me question whether I should get the next Nintendo home console.
