I cannot express how happy I am. This came just when I lost all hope.

Everyone, watch this, and be amazed (locale spoilers):

Xenoblade Field Exploration

Linkhero1 · (03-31-2011, 07:53 AM)

Hope they announce it for NA soon. I'm not into RPGs but this game has intrigued me.

Dambrosi · (03-31-2011, 07:53 AM)

See? When in doubt, trust NoE to deliver eventually. Next up - The Last story and Night Of Sacrifice!

Fantastic. I think I wanted to play this even more than the last story...
Makes me hopeful for the future of my poor starved Wii, and also for the future translations on 3ds (since us imports are no longer a possibility)

No way this won't be coming to NA. It's been on the release list for ages.

Other random stats:

On amazon.co.jp Star ranking is:

5 - 207 people
4 - 46
3 - 20
2 - 13
1 - 7

Famous Japanese ranking user review site gives it a 90, making it the highest ranking wii game that has a fair number of reviews.

You mean everyone don't watch this now that the game's coming, unless you want all areas spoiled before then.

I'm glad its not called Monado Chronicles.

Alextended · (03-31-2011, 08:00 AM)

If this made it then I'm sure The Last Story will be coming here also. Thank you Nintendo, I never doubted you (ok, maybe a little)!

cosmicblizzard · (03-31-2011, 08:01 AM)

Awesome. Didn't like how the battle system looked like FF12, but the story and exploration might be worth it alone. Hope an NA announcement will follow.

Electivirus · (03-31-2011, 08:02 AM)

The soundtrack alone has me excited for this. Sooooo good.

speedpop · (03-31-2011, 08:02 AM)

I can play this on my modded Wii if NOA decides to be assholes and not put it out here, right?

NOA can delay Zelda and give me this, this I want much more

Rush2thestart · (03-31-2011, 08:04 AM)

Its too bad the Wii market is so dead in Europe that this will bomb epicly and give Nintendo reason not to localize these types of titles anymore.

Still, at least this is getting localized. Personally, Im not happy until NA is confirmed.

Monoliths last game, Disaster, did come to Europe but not NA. So I'm not exactly jumping with joy at this point.

You guys got Excite Bots and Glory of Heracles!

Bear · (03-31-2011, 08:09 AM)

Oh fuck yeah. If this doesn't make it to NA I will definitely import it. I'm just happy to get an official translation, and it has dual language support too.

Kenka · (03-31-2011, 08:09 AM)

Also, lol @ Reggie.

zlatko · (03-31-2011, 08:09 AM)

I forget, but can you USA Wii's play European versions of games or are they region locked ?

Xenoblade, The Last Story, and the new Zelda would be the reason I'd get a Wii again to play all 3.

Also Disaster, Inazuma Eleven.

But yeah, will import even so. I just need more confirmations!

slaughterking · (03-31-2011, 08:11 AM)

Hm, I don't believe it yet. >.>

Kilrogg · (03-31-2011, 08:11 AM)

Quick question to people who played it: how long does it take to go from point A to point B in the game? My big gripe about many 3D games is that the worlds are too big and the characters too slow, and the world of Xenoblade looks so huge that I'm really worried about that. Do you quickly get fast stuff like vehicles, mounts and teleportation spells?

Wii is region-locked. Only way to play it would be to install homebrew on your Wii, but then again it might be announced for NA soon. If I recall correctly, didn't Reggie say something about games being announced before E3?

Endless Ocean and Sin and Punishment 2 both came out in Europe first but both came to America. This will too, it's already on the release list. Nintendo aren't going to spend that kind of dough on voiceovers and text translation only to release it in Europe. That only happened once with Disaster, and that was because of the hurricanes in the US more than anything else.

CharlesSurge · (03-31-2011, 08:17 AM)

Hooray! Now let's see if NoA can come up with a way to muck this up.

BocoDragon · (03-31-2011, 08:17 AM)

Getting deju vu of the time European magazines announced Mother 3 localization for PAL....

Well, I would be extremely surprised if the Scandinavian PR head for Nintendo would do that.
