EVEN MORE Xenoblade reviews? Still looking promising!

Finally, as a HD title, the Metascore would likely have been 0, as it probably wouldn't have left Japan. If it did, around 86.

You really think so?  I can't think of a single example of a similarly budgeted HD JRPG that didn't make it to the West at some point, often times much faster than Ninty brought over Xenoblade.  Rest of your post seems reasonable but this bit just seems blatantly false.

I guess if you count certain platform versions of Tales games you could make the argument, but that's about it and all those games did make it to the West in one form or another so that seems like a poor argument.

I was merely referencing the fact that only 1 previous Xeno_ title was released in the EU, where I live. I don't see why this game would be any different, were it not for the support from Nintendo. 

I don't know if they came to America, but since there's a lot of support, I'd imagine they did. But they never were released here because they never had the financial backing. I imagine if it did release without Nintendo's support, it may not have reached these shores. So I'm grateful Nintendo did release it, is all.

 

FYI, this game was Xenosaga II. Not I or III, not Baiten Kaitos Origins (although the original was released here, but many, many months late) etc.
