There's a fuckload of stuff in the game, starting from the UI... So yeah, it might as well
All right, classic hot guy will do for me, lol
It's like Squall just stepped out of the shower.

When I saw that in the gamexplain review, I knew that I would love this character.

Well, for the first time in an RPG with a character creation I went with a female...
She doesn't seem like a badass at all, I hope she'll be fine.

TheMoon(who is making it), could still be sleeping or working at this hour.
Alot of people have been having that experience, me included. Talking to support does nothing. All I could do is bump up the shipping to 1 Day so that it arrives Monday. I did talk to one support person who said there is a chance it would come Saturday with 1 day shipping.

It has gotten commercials, for instance if you watch toonami with us then you will see commercials, which is the audience you want to see xenoblade commercials, they also showed a lot of fire emblem awakening commercials on toonami which led to its success.

I'm sort of torn on getting this. I always planned to, but now I'm having second thoughts. Never finished the first because I only have it for N3DS, and it's way too large of a game to play on a handheld. I'm afraid this will be another gigantic game I'll never finish, but I think it's still worth playing.
I do have a $25 Amazon gift card, so maybe I should give it a shot. I know next to nothing about it because I've been avoiding spoilers. I am excited about the online co-op, but I'm not sure how big of a role it plays in the game.

BB finally shipped *sniffles*
Wait until he turn into Sephiroth, later, lol.
By the way, yes you can make a Shulk like character, I saw a similar haircut
Online coop is just a small part in this game. More like a little assistance than an actual part of the storyline. It still is SP on its core.

Wow 26 hours quicker than Mario & Luigi Dream Team Bros
or Final Fantasy XIII
Without knowing your connection speed this is a pointless question to ask. Also nobody can predict if speed will be affected by server load on Nintendo's end either. Best case scenario it is as fast as your connection goes, worse case scenario is is slower. In my case it would be about 2 hours but if you're one of the godly connections in Finland you could get it done within an hour. If you're on a rural UK connection it could be 24 hours...

Looks great! Tempted to go female myself, though I also rarely do.

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.
I feel like if Xenoblade Chronicles never came out in North America, X would have gotten better reviews smh. Like, 90+ on Metacritic.

So just how much can you do with the character creator?

24 hours until I can play, I'm picking the game up on my lunch break, and heading straight home from the office.
I've got the house for myself the entire weekend and I will literally do nothing other than play this game.

This is the official Amazon FedX Chronicles Review thread now.
I 100% think it's worth playing even if you don't think you'll finish it. The game itself represents the idea that a JRPG can still be this huge, ambitious title that wants to eat up a lot of your time but isn't going to necessarily waste much of it. I don't like calling things important, but I do think XBX represents a pretty big thing for JRPGs in general.
It's, in some ways, a return to form to the sprawling epics that a lot of us grew up with as opposed to the smaller, niche titles that are the main way to get your JRPG fix these days.
Why do you say this? Why does it particularly matter, even? The game is getting the sort of reviews that would, hopefully, get people to pick it up. They've been overwhelmingly positive but not suckling at the game's teat. That's good, I think!

I've played like 4+hours and so far I've found lin super funny, was not expecting that.
Lyn would have been awful if not for her voice actress, I think. She super sells it and it makes it hilarious.

Completely agree!

You can change quite a few things but there's not a huge variety among them, some hair styles are also locked behing a specific face, for example. You can still play around with a few things but there's nothing like molding the face (apart from choosing from a few base ones) and not a lot of options in the end.
Or playing the game and forgot about the OT (¬‿¬)

Not if I can help it, and yes I should literally learn to use the word figuratively

wait...is this out today?!!
This is pretty much how it went with Laura Bailey in Persona 4 too, I feel like Rise could have been a super annoying character but Laura sold it really well.

It was, but there was DLC that added new stuff, and let you use that option immediately. As the DLC is included in this release, the option exists immediately (which is fantastic).

i do have enough speed to dl it within minutes, so i was rather curious if there is some kind of cap or problems on Nintendos side. I never downloaded anything that big from Nintendo servers before and i know horrible stories from friends about their lame ps4 and x1 speeds even though their steam and torrents speeds indicate that there is nothing wrong with their connections per se. im from germany btw with 1&1 isp
