I can't wait to play this

Spoiler

in North America, please.

 

[Oxx]

I've only just checked-out the updated NOE Last Story page.

Pretty comprehensive. I'm guessing that the music streaming is the same as the soundtrack in the LE.

Correct, it says so in the media section.

 

[Oxx]

Track 1 sounds like something out of Layton. Liking Track 3 as well.

 

[Winnie the Pimp]

will the regular EU edition for this be a limited print run or am i good waiting another 2-3 months before i buy this? just wondering as i kinda already blew my gaming budget for this month really

 

[Jubern]

Seeing how Xenoblade is still relatively easy to find online, I don't see why The Last Story would be any different.

just wanna make sure, you never know with these niche games, for instance Tales of games, you check a couple months later and you can't even find em new anymore

 

[kunonabi]

7 minutes of a video review from German Gamepro. You can hear some more of the English VA.

The Japanese version doesn't run nearly this smoothly, so I'm guessing they've fixed a good number of the framerate issues that the Japanese release had.



Correct, no local multiplayer at all.



Singleplayer bosses with completely different attacks/attack patterns. They feel completely different.

Man a fixed framerate would be awesome. The multiplayer sounds even better than I anticipated. I NEED this game.

Very well done mini-site.
And, oh men: I'm loving the soundtrack. I'm really loving it...even more than Xeno OST...

 

[Azure Phoenix]

Sorry guys, but I'm a little confused.
Will the LE have both normal plastic-white case and steelbox?

Yes.

Will the LE have also the reversal card cover we voted for in the official site poll?

Nobody knows, however considering how little NOE care about ruining the LE cover outside of Germany with a useless USK logo I'm willing to bet they'll go for the cheapest option. It's fair to assume the inside of the steelbook will feature that artwork though.

 

[Aostia]

Yes.

Well: thank you for the reply. I would really love to have a very nice LE for this game

 

[Pyrokai]

I think I'm leaning standard edition because I just hate that giant USK sticker plastered everywhere. WHY is it so huge?

 

[Choppasmith]

So, as a guy in the US, if I want to preorder this (LE) Bad boy, which online retailer is the best to go with? I've never imported a game from Europe before.

 

[exhume]

Wheres the cheapest place to order the Limited Edition version from online at the moment? I'm an Aussie, and don't mind importing from the UK too.

This is the cheapest option I've found, though if you happen to live in Melbourne and like brick & mortar shops, there's this place too.

Edit for extra info: ozgameshop had stock issues with Xenoblade, just so you know, though they did eventually get it back in stock. Dungeon Crawl have great customer service but their price is considerably higher.

 

[M-PG71C]

I was going to order from ASDA like I did for Xenoblade, but it doesn't have it listed. So where else can I get it pre-ordered and shipped to the U.S.?

Thanks! Oh, and while the LE would be nice, reliability on actually getting it is better so its all good.

 

[kunonabi]

amazon.de also works. I'm paying like 80 for the LE with shipping. Not the cheapest but they accepted my credit card without any guff so they got my money.

Just saw the Gooch tweeting this:

[Carlisle]

^^^ Awesome marketing by NoE! The Vita team should take notes.

Just preordered mine at Game.co.uk. After the exchange rate it came to $55 USD, shipped. Non LE, but they do have the LE as well.

 

[Extra Sauce]

Today I finished Xenoblade and now I'm really excited about The Last Story.

But it's coming out withing days of Mass Effect 3. That's gonna be a problem.

The event will probably be pretty limited. Japanese videogames creators are insanely popular here and because of the usually shitty organisation, it's a mess every time any one comes. And it's pretty much always done by Fnac. Figures.
I remember the FFXIII launch on the Champs-Elysees: Midnight opening around the same period two years ago (which means fucking freezing, though not as bad as this year), hundreds of people waiting for Kitase and Kamikokuryo, and then around 00h20 the store's douchebags decided signing time was over...
Around MGS3 launch a few years ago, they also left hundreds of people waiting in the cold for a signing session with Kojima, only to cancel. Too much people IIRC.

This time, in a similar fashion to other events like Kojima visit around MGS4 launch, we're going to have to pick up an "invitation" when the shop opens at 10AM to be able to go to the Q&A (and signing session) at 6PM. Which means I'll probably need to get there by 7 or 8AM to even have a chance. Good lord.

 

[ShellyDeKiller]

Whoa, that's pretty cool.

 

[APZonerunner]

Sakaguchi's giving a talk and some press interviews this Thursday in London too. I'll be there. Looking forward to meeting him. Have the full English copy of the game but haven't yet had time to dig into it. Tomorrow, I hope.

I didn't realize he was going to be giving a BAFTA talk, the Spirit Within section should be interesting, its a pity its sold out.

Its times like these I wish I worked in the industry.

European Trailer #2 (only with Italian subs/text so far)

Will new thread this once the UK trailer comes out.

 

[Mlatador]

*sigh* couldn't stand it anymore... pre-ordered!

 

[RPGamer92]

Announce a US release already NOA >_<

 

[Kjellson]

This game is released two days after my birthday. I hope I'll find it at a reasonable price.

 

[ctrayne]

Gooch looks badass with that mustache/soul patch combo.

 

[Zornica]

Only 10 more days untill this comes out. will there be an OT?

 

[Takuan]

Didn't know they optimized the game and altered the boss content. I applaud them for putting in the work. The LE is about 70 before shipping from zavvi.com, and their international shipping rates are dirt cheap. Are they at all reliable?

 

[thefro]

Yes, I signed up to make it. Should go up on the 16th (7 days before release in Australia on the 23rd)

First ten minutes of English gameplay (the person playing is flat-out awful, lol)

i never had problems with zavvi

Where did you hear that they altered the boss content?

 

[Lord Ghirahim]

Any cool bonuses if you register it on Club Nintendo? No?

 

[Oxx]

It's around this time when I start to fret over whether or not I am patient enough for free delivery.

well...alright. looks okay, I guess. different, certainly.

 

[Enlightened]

I'm just pondering what the chances are of NoA releasing a limited edition. If not, I'm importing. I just want to make sure I get the extra contents because they're so drool-worthy. I can still pick up an NA copy of the game once/if it arrives. Seeing how much I love Mistwalker games, chances are, I'm going to love this one as well. Excited. Yep.

 

[Throwaway123456789]

Hooray! But I'm still playing Xenoblade

 

[Oxx]

Is there an OT yet? I looked 8 pages back, but I don't think I can search on the web app.

6 days to go.

Not yet, I don't think. I believe thefro claimed it. I am getting anxious as well.

 

[Oxx]

The LE is under £30 @ Cool Shop.

 

[x3r0123]

is it me or the sku/link for the limited edition at game.co doesnt exist anymore?

 

[Torraz]

Hooray! But I'm still playing Xenoblade

Can you confirm / deny if there is the possibility to play with the jap. dub and subs?

 

[ShellyDeKiller]

Never used them. Are they to be trusted?

Should be up today, still finishing it up

Any suggestions for the thread subtitle? Already used "The Gooch's Final (?) Fantasy" for the Japanese OT, so that's out.

EDIT.. up now

The Last Story |OT|


If you absolutely have to have a subtitle use The Wii's last hurrah or something.

Made a couple of orders with them in the past and had no problems.
