Well I didn't get a code to download the theme, but the theme might not come out until it releases in the rest of EU. Hopefully it gets updated.

Both themes are up for Japan.
I need impressions of this version.
Because its low res but on a small screen does it look cleaner in person than xenoblade on hdtv? I really cant do 480p on my tv-- it looks so shitty its just not doable for me. I have Xenoblade on Wii and its just so muddy and blurry playing through Wii U. I cant. Id rather burn it.
With that said OoT 3d looks MAD crisp and sharp.
Get what I'm saying?

am assuming you are talking about an OG 3ds, and not an XL?
If you feel the 120ppi of the new 3ds screen is cleaner than 480p on your tv, for say, oot 3d, then you should be OK.
Unless you live in NA, in which case you are forced to get the New3ds XL, with a ppi of 92, in which case, it might bother you.

0 "cheesy anime cringe" (whatever that is, I don't really watch anime)
yes, lots and lots of different armor.
Game is crisp, for a 240p game.
You'll never get as much details as in the Wii version, and there are a lot of details in the scenery. Grass, trees and stuff suffers from being only rendered at 240p.

Nothing to worry about. Cutscenes are mostly jag-free (at least the characters are). Just got done with the opening bit. No complaints so far. The ideal compromise would be playing your Wii copy in Wii Mode on Wii U through Off-TV though since it's the native resolution of the GamePad. Best of both worlds.
I read the OP. I don't know why I'm supposed to take that at face value.
Super excited for this game. Never got around to it on Wii. My only issue is weather to make it my next game after Majora's Mask (which I am near the end of) or pick at some of my shorter backlog games first.
Is there any word on any kind of Strategy Guide for this game? I keep hoping Prima or someone makes a nice hard cover one for it.

Because I put that together from player impressions as opposed to pulling it out of my ass.

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
Wait, I remember hearing they added a Bestiary to the 3DS Port...but I don't see it in the OT. Did I imagine that?

That was miscommunicated. That's the model viewer. There never was a bestiary.

Looking forward to playing this when I get some stuff out of the backlog and work calms down enough to get through such a long game.
A couple of hours in and I'm finding myself enthralled with Xenoblade all over again. I do love just exploring Colony 9, finding landmarks, running away from Level 70+ enemies and chatting to the townspeople.
As an added bonus, Amazon UK seem to have sourced a Shulk amiibo and are sending it to me for tomorrow. Now I just need a Xenoblade X release date in tonight's direct and it'll really be a glorious day.

Yeah if only I could use Gamepad as a classic controller.
Having a controller in front of my gamepad is the most silly shit ive ever tried.

Was going to complain about the title, but no less than 17 instances of Reyn Time in the OP itself have placated me.
No, I have no idea why I'm sick and tired of "I'm really feeling it" but am not sick and tired of Reyn's various memes.

Fuck your email tag. I was about to ...
But yea, just doing "Reyn Time" once in the title would not have done it justice at all.
The game came out today. No one who's waiting to hear about performance is going to make a conclusion based on pre-release impressions that you don't even bother linking to.

Review thread with review impressions + first gaffer impressions is among the very very first things linked in the OP. I'm not writing a paper here^^

Amazing topic title.
How likely is it that a LE N3DSXL get announced for NA tomorrow? As I play through the Wii version, I kind of want this on a handheld because I feel there are way too much side quest and I get sidetracked easily by exploring the world like enjoying the music in Guar Plains or enjoying the view like the Ereyth(?) Sea at the lighthouse enjoying the night sky.
Playing now. Just about to enter tephra cave.
Apart from the resolution, this is EXACTLY the same as the Wii version, right down to the frame rate. Damn impressed.
However. Where the hell is the option to turn tutorials off?! Why was that option removed? I have played this game through five times already I don't need damn tutorials, jeeeeeez wtf
Eh, whatever.

Subbed. This was my GOTY when the console version released. I'm all in for a new playthrough on the n3DS!
That's because they are literally the Wii assets downscaled in Photoshop or whatever lol

Yup, was just gonna mention that here. No clue what it does, though.
Because 3DS doesn't support preloads.

Will there be a demo of this, I am not too sure on the battle mechanic. Or are there any kiosks that will have the game/demo running in the U.S. if anyone knows?

These JP voices are going to take some getting used to. Dunban sounds too young and Reyn sounds too old.

That's a bummer I was hoping on eating a taste of that portion before committing especially since it is such a time commitment of a title.
One small tip which I found to be good - the default camera is very zoomed out and makes the player model extremely pixelated. If you zoom it in about 3 notches you notice the player model is a lot better. Set it back to default and it's so zoomed out you see the low DPI screen have issues and draw a lower res looking model. I've stuck with it zoomed in 3 notches anyway.
Do NOT, out of curiosity, play 10 mins of Xenoblade 3DS then boot Dolphin and do the same. That's a bad idea (and sort of pointless).

1) no, if there are active sidequest-relevant NPCs on the map close to you, they will appear with a red "!" though
2) they're items. period. pick them up, you can sell most of them and some of them are for quests. also look at your collectopedia.
Cheers m8, side quests don't seem to be to much of an effort so far, i just need to pay more attention to things.

Nice OT! Hoping we at the mercy of NOA get a decent looking N3DS so I can play the game. (will buy regardless)

Yeah no, the download refuses to do anything. Maybe after the Direct it will be done!

Oh yeah, that game did have some of the worst 3D I've seen on a 3DS game if I remember right. The 3D effect was very weak on the normal graphics, but the text boxes stuck out a LOT which made it hard to look at with full 3D on (the only way to get any amount of depth).
I only played it for about 7 hours before realizing it just wasn't my thing though. The cliche anime characters really grated on me after a while (dude deathly afraid of being around women, little girl creepily attracted to main character, annoying+cute talking animal, etc.)
Good to hear that this game avoids that stuff, and the videos I've seen of Xenoblade make the combat system look pretty interesting too.

If you can stick with it though Tales of the abyss becomes really damn good. out of all the Tales of series it's my second favourite
