Fair enough ^^ 

I just finished the story today :P I havnt been of VGC for a few days cos i was playing through the game almost flat out XD The basic premise of the story was basic enough but the actually way its presented it fantastic. My wary was that as it was such a vast choice in how you play the game and explore that the story may have been slightly lacking compared to many jrpg's i was however problem wrong :P In all it will take you anywhere between 40 - 70 hours to finish through the game once. Some scenes in the game literally made me go O_O


lol...I was expecting more but OK. Did you play Xenosaga? If you did how do you like Xenoblade's story compared to that?


Lol sorry im kinda tired XD it almost 3am :P and i havnt ever played Xenosaga before (THE SHAME!)


This game's story is nothing like Xenosaga. It's not as rushed or clichce.

I can understand how you may have felt that Xenosaga was rushed, but how was it that cliche? It had some cliches, sure, but it had alot of originality too it.

I already guessed every direction the saga was heading in each step of the way when I played them...... I might just be too Asian or something. Just play Xenoblade when it comes out here, it's a better game anyways.

For some reason, I find that REALLY hard to believe.


Well, the last game I had trouble really doing that with was FF6, that game was just, like wtf I can't guess it at all, I mean I know I kill the bad guy at the end but holy fuck. Xenoblade's story is a little more mature as so it's harder to guess, it's not the usual ummm, I don't know how to even explain it tbh, just a thing.


be prepared for quite alot of plot twists you wont see coming ^^


shhhh...! don't give them too much info!

Thank so much for posting your review, I really appreciate it! :D

My hype was going down on this one after months and months of zero info on the game - - I hate Nintendo >:( - - but you've totally got me hyped back up.

I know eveybody's thinking the same thing but I really wish we could get SOME info every now and then, i'm not asking for much, just a confirmation that it's coming - - - I'm not gonna allow myself to get 100% hyped until i know it's coming for sure :(

Thanks Chibi, a good and informative review.  Even more impressive considering that it is your first.  I'm hoping it gets localised as well

Are you going to do a review for Ninokuni now that it has been released as well?

Thanx alot :D

Im kind of mixed about NiNoKuni at the moment. Considering how many jrpg's there are currently for me to reveiw im considering leaving NiNoKuni until its PS3 release based on the considerable amount of hype surrounding the game. but ill think about it ^^

When I do get a Wii, this is one of the must haves for the console.  Looking forward to it.

Xenoblade's story is more mature then FF6's story huh. Would you say it has a better story then FF6?  Also, how are the villans in Xenoblade? Are they well developed with likeable personalites and good back stories?
