And americans shouldn't import.. sales would rise in Europe because of this.. NOA see the sales in EU and releases it in the US were no one will buy it cause they already imported it.. best thing to do is sit back, whine like a little baby and look how awesome we Europeans are while playing this game..


Could you set up a webcam feed? I want to bask in your awesomeness while I wait for NoA to not release it.

Sure.. but remember.. you have to pay for the good stuff!

I object to the graphics score, but also the sound one as well. To me the soundtrack sounds amazing.

9 is bad?

I am satisfied on my part. That is if it's coming in NA. Otherwise I hope it fails :)

Just found out that my copy of Xenoblade is on the way! Thehut.com shipped mine out 4 days early.

Don't hope the game fails. It's not like Monolith Soft has control over this issue. Hope Nintendo fails!

Yeah, because NoE totally deserves to get punished for releasing this game. >_> I'm sorry, but unless you're a Monolith Soft hater or something I fail to see the logic here. If Xenoblade fails it will only hurt Nintendo of Europe, you know those guys that are responsible for this game getting out of Japan at all. The guys that do deserve to fail [NoA] won't take any harm at all. Heck, it would only make their decision more valid, and that's not what we want, is it?

Closing Comments
Xenoblade Chronicles is the best Japanese RPG of this generation. The fact that it looks like it's from the last generation is its only drawback, but its technical limitations are offset by imaginative artistic direction, innovative and compelling combat, and thoughtful design. It's a throwback to the glory days of the genre, proof that there are always new ways to tell a story. If you've ever felt neglected by the lack of in-depth gaming epics on the Wii, you owe it to yourself to buy this.

Rating Description
out of 10 Click here for ratings guide
8.5 Presentation
Beautiful design makes up for Xenoblade's graphical shortcomings – but it's disappointing that the dialogue isn't lip-synced.
7.0 Graphics
This is the best that the Wii can do, but it's not really up to modern standards. The artistic direction makes up for a lack of technical grunt.
8.5 Sound
A super, varied score with generally excellent localised voice acting. After 35 hours or so you'll have heard one or two of the battle themes a few too many times, though.
9.0 Gameplay
A fantastic battle system and literally hundreds of optional quests make this a more exciting experience minute-to-minute than most other games in its genre. There's repetition, but it doesn't grate.
9.0 Lasting Appeal
There's so much of Xenoblade Chronicles that you can't even tell when the end is in sight. A true epic.
9.0
OVERALL
Amazing

Operation :Import will commence shortly!...you will be in it!

My sentiments exactly.

Who said it's bad?

Well this sucks.

How you can you justify the best RPG of the last 5 years not being here? :(



Leatherhat on July 6th, 2012 3pm. Vita sales:"3 mil for COD 2 mil for AC. Maybe more. "  thehusbo on July 6th, 2012 5pm. Vita sales:"5 mil for COD 2.2 mil for AC."

Well, what do you want? Us to hope that a meteor falls in NoA's office?
