A little history lesson on why Operation Rainfall even began

"History

On June 23, 2011, Mathieu Minel, at the time the marketing manager of Nintendo France, said that Nintendo of Europe wished to display Xenoblade at E3 2011, but that Nintendo of America (NOA) denied them since they had no plans to localize the game. 11 days later, Minel had departed from Nintendo. As a response, numerous role-playing game fans from the IGN message boards started a campaign titled "Operation Rainfall" with the intention of pressuring or persuading NOA to release Xenoblade, as well as two other high-quality RPGs that were left out of E3, namely The Last Story and Pandora's Tower."

 

Essemtially the entire thing started because of Xenoblade (or Monodo).

Rainfall has nothing to do with his point as he's right I followed Xenodblade while it was still Monado from the first trailer, the very first trailer for Monado was back in 2009 and it didn't have any hype at that point it went under the radar and when the game was brought up by those who noticed it many people just brushed it aside. It's only when NOE began localizing it after the release in Japan where any hype began to build.

It has everything. He (and you) are saying there was no hype for the first trailer, yet Operation Rainfall happened because the game wasn't getting localized.  That's a bit contradictory. If people didn't care, they wouldn't have got on board the way they have and it all kicked off with Xenoblade not getting localized. Hell it even made #1 best seller on amazon at one point without a localization date (Xenoblade Chronicles, not Pandora's Tower or The Last Story). That doesn't show "no interest".
