Ha, I beat this game back in November because I got sick of waiting for the localization team Jim :P
Still need to pre-order this from Nintendo. I'd rather hand my money straight to them instead of partaking in a GameStop exclusive
I've been really enjoying acting like a smug git over us Brits getting it ages ago, what the hell am I supposed to do once April 6 goes by?
Hmm, but XSEED is bringing The last Story to America, not Nintendo.
Also, you can buy Xenoblade from Nintendo's official website.

Oh man, these rpg's are so outdated though, can get way better experiences on current gen consoles and pc
MANIFEST YOURSELF!
82 hours in (and it still looks like I have a little ways to go), it's the best RPG I've played since FFVII. Incredible soundtrack, great characters, gorgeous scenery, and a perfect blend of JRPG and MMoRPG elements. My sole complaint is that the game is awfully easy if you're doing every quest and exploring every area, as the the experience given for both is very generous. But on the flipside it means there is no need for grinding.
Seriously, buy it. The first few hours are a little slow, but it picks up in a big way by the time you get out of the starting area.

Well, Mattchew, setting aside the fact that the Wii is from the current generation, I would like to fix that statement for you. "Oh man, these rpg's are so not-Skyrim though, can get way different experiences on OTHER current gen consoles and pc." Final Fanatasy VI and Chrono Trigger are "outdated" but I'd love to get more games like them. Whereas I just can't get excited about Skyrim because I'm kind of burnt-out on the standard Western RPG and everything I've seen of the game looks so damn generic. Don't be a bandwagoner and don't be too narrow with your views. RPGs (and games in general) are not interchangeable entities. There is no one RPG and "outdated" really isn't a term that applies to the enjoyability or playworthiness (that's my term, I just invented it and I want royalties if any of yall decide to use it) of a game. Just because Skyrim or Final Fantasy XII-II-i-x-V-2-& exist, doesn't invalidate all other games.

Games are more than graphics. An overwhelming majority of RPG fans have clamored that Xenoblade is the best JRPG to hit in nearly a decade and well worth the price of a Wii alone.
I'd rather play a phenomenal standard-definition Wii game with amazing gameplay, great characters, a great story, beautiful music, interesting combat, loads of variety, and a memorable setting than most of the HD-era mediocre, bland RPGs on "superior" systems.

Woohoo!!! Great to see the Wii get some amazing games during its final year before its next generation.
Love the box art. Classy.

Anyone who wants to fully support this game's release should be preordering and purchasing at Gamestop, regardless of any issues with the chain. It sends a message to Nintendo that you are willing to purchase a niche game at retail, and I think that's more important than your usual litany of Gamestop complaints.
We shouldn't have had to make this much effort to get a quality game released in the first place. But if this is how things are going to be for future games, I don't want to have to rely on extremely limited print runs direct from Nintendo's online store.

Outdated in graphics, perhaps, but Xenoblade is massive in scope and ambition and has great art direction, brilliant music, engaging combat, fast travel and a great story. If you don't like the Wii, that's fine, but if you have a Wii and enjoy it, it's a great game. I believe Last Story will be as well.

Agreed with everything. I'm not fond of gamestop but I knew I "had" to pre order from them. There's also the fact that if the game isn't selling with gamestop then gamestop won't want to carry the game (usual business practice), and that's bad for everybody.

Fuck yeah, the box art that I wanted won! Yay! ...I've already got my Xenoblade pre-order, and it's only a little over a month away! <3
Gamestop could lick mah nuts, but RPGs like this (I hear the music's amazing too) are a must have for me.
don't let the localization hype take your eyes away from the actual game. it is VERY good! this is coming from an experienced jrpg gamer.
i wasn't very much interested in this game before actually playing it (the last story looked more appealing back then) but after playing the first few hours, i knew the game was special. :)
