I'm reading about it and it's apparently fairly similar in style to Dragon Age. Open world, loads of quests etc, so I may put it off until I've actually finished Dragon Age

But coming from PS4/PC it's quite confusing to see games on sale so rarely for the 3DS, so there may not actually be much benefit in waiting

It would be awesome on the vc, we could play it using the gamepad!

Think of Final Fantasy XII with a MUCH MUCH larger and more detailed semi open-world, better combat/customization (each character is very unique combat-wise), and a better overall story. Add in some town-building elements, and an affinity chart (where your actions through side-quests affect how people feel about you and each-other.) Now you're thinking of Xenoblade Chronicles. 

Thinking about it, it is really amazing how a a big game like this can be made portable. The 3DS just got much more attractive..

88 is a bit higher than I expected, that's good!

If ur a fan of JRPGs and never played the Wii version you owe it to yourself to buy this.  If you can't get your hands on the Wii version, I got lucky and some guy traded his into EBGames not knowing how valuable it is.

Good score, but really sucks that it's only for the new 3DS. Lost alot of potential sales.

Im going to buy it to never open it and to tell my grand-grand-children about it and one day when I am 120years old and die they will sell it and be trillionaires (would be like being a millionaire today because of inflation)

I'm not buying because I'm not sure when I'd get around to playing it. I have the Wii version and will replay that sometime. I'd probably pick up The Last Story 3D if that happens, due to the shorter running time. I also only had to pay £18 for a Limited Edition on Wii so wouldn't feel too bad about double dipping.

I know right? Caught me by surprise that the EU release was so imminent too.
