I think Xenoblade is the strongest attempt at an RPG on the Wii to date. It will be interesting to see how Japan responds to this outing.
There aren't enough RPGs on consoles to be saying "HD or GTFO."
That would be because HD makes it hard to make a traditional RPG and keep things at a practical cost to developers. That's why more of them on on PSP and DS and why we may be seeing more on Wii.
If people hadn't rushed to HD before it was practical in cost, we wouldn't be lacking in RPGs on consoles, but the mindless march forward never stops. And here we go again with 3D.

This is pretty old stuff... you could at least also mention that Famitsu reviewed the game giving it 9/9/9/9 36/40, which bodes well. As for sales, it'll probably do 100-200k, like the last Xeno game on PS2.
And Japan isn't about HD, it's about what they like, which happens to be HD efforts for now. Xenoblade might not be to their liking either as it has influences from Western RPG mechanics in the way side quests and the open world works among other things. Dragon Quest X on Wii will do as good as FFXIII if not better, because it's also a series that appeals to them in the same way. You'll see.

Also, the phrase she says is from the game's story, not just for the sexual implications which probably only sound like that when it's roughly translated.
From what Square Enix has said about all the FFVII remake requests, it's like HD is hindering rather than helping. They seemed to imply that it's more difficult now to create detailed game worlds. :/
I think I'd rather have worse graphics.

@ Nothankyou- Posting news about what other sites do with their reviews is against the philosophy of Destructoid. And I know this video is old, but it's also short, and not exactly news, so I waited until the weekend to post it.
Also, why so bitchy? And now, know-it-all-y?

That's just Square making excuses for themselves and saying stuff to make people be more wowed with what they (failed to) achieve. Though I'm sure DQ X will have actual cities to explore, being SD won't be the reason. Developers much smaller than Square have done some pretty massive and detailed environments in HD, so Square saying it would take years to make a few towns sounds dumb. See Just Cause 2 for example. The studio's borderline indie. And yes, it doesn't have much to do other than shoot and destroy, but the world design is still there. Couple a team like that with Square's scripters and writers and you'd easily get RPGs like last gen's in HD. Quest creation and scripting is done in more or less the same way after all, and most likely from different people than those who do the visuals.
@Super Drybones It's Only Bad if you expect to get in to her robotic pants :D...IS it bad that I would want the Back ground music?
My last comment was meant for pudge. I still don't see why you call me bitchy. It's getting annoying to see you repeat that.

@ Nothankyou- All those posts area over a year old. These days, Destructoid doesn't post other guy's reviews, unless something really interesting happened. Last time we all talked about it, the consensus was that other people's reviews are not really news.
I know that I don't think they are.
And I'll stop pointing out that you're being bitchy when you stop saying "the least you could have done" and "this is pretty old stuff" and other nitpicking, overly-critical stuff in my posts.

I find it funny that a poster with the username "nothankyou" is trying to defend the accusation that he's negative.
Not pickin' sides, just sayin'. I literally read that username and went "Ugh," assuming it would be a downer post and skipped it. No offense intended. Just throwing that out there.

I REALLY want Xenoblade to be good, and I am beyond excited for the soundtrack, but the sub-PS2-quality character models kinda worry me. That said, this game better be playable at PAX this year, because the battle system looks incredible.
I can't wait for this game! If someone turns up their nose at a good RPG because it's not in HD, they deserve a hungry weasel to the balls. RPG fans used to be cool people, but somewhere down the line there was an invasion of whiney, entitled bitches. Around 1997, if I remember correctly.
Some of them are much less than a year old. Here's one from March.

Perhaps your talk was after that. Oh well, I don't really care. If you have this policy now, I didn't know, so, I won't tell you you could "at least" post such things again to make a "non news" post like this have a bit more information. I'll save it for the other things you don't have a policy for.
As for mentioning it's old, you admitted it is, so I don't see the problem.

Have nothing against the game save for if it plays itself. Ever since I last saw the game play that showed the game playing itself or at least a good piece of itself I thought thats not as cool as if I could fully control each character. Game still looks amazing though I dont even care if its on the Wii, still looks amazing. Then again Im lenient on graphics to some extent. Hope they end up letting the player control every aspect of each character.
@ Nothankyou- Yeah, that post from March was more of a statistical thing about all of reviews Famitsu has printed in the past ten years, which is different than a post about one review, or even a couple of reviews, that the site has done.
It was also an excuse to make Xbox 360 kitten and Wii cat, which was fun for me.

I'm EXTREMELY pumped for this.
And I know Holmes said that Dtoid usually doesn't post other people's reviews, and that's probably a good thing. But apparently, Famitsu REALLY liked this one...

"Anyways, the real gamers out there know that HD is not necessary to have enjoyment while playing a VG."
THIS!
@Holmes and The Silent Protagonist: maybe we could be triplets.
@Pudge Controls the Weather: Well, they could remake it for the Wii then :D
*casts Nayru's Love, raises his mirror shield*
@Tron: Not HD perse, but the fans expectations of how their favorite sagas should look in PS3/X360 HD photo-realistic graphics, sometimes to the point where most work done is to maintain said graphics standards instead of gameplay development, at least that's how i see it.

obtw, the girl in the CM is none other than Watanabe Mayu. She's well known for being an otaku and known as the "cyborg idol" because of her death glares into the audience during stage performances. She was born March 26th, 1994, making her 16 years old, jsyk.
Another great example of innovation, I am glad to find it. There are so many developers working on this segment but this is one of the best innovative idea ever. Thanks for sharing it here.
