Took quite some time until I understood what you were saying

Website up.
So the limited edition does not include the reversible cover?

You can't really reverse the cover of a steelbook.
The game disc is not in the steelbook but in a plastic game case which fits inside the steelbook, if I see it correctly.

The soundtrack is awesome.
What the heck has Xenoblade to do with Last Story? Both games are completely different.

Nah, you can't fit a regular Amaray plastic case inside a steelbook.
Didn't know that, the Wii games usually don't have steelbooks so I never bought one
But I assume that there'll be a normal case too as the package is quite thick and the LE video shows a normal, "multi-national" game case too, whereas the standard edition is only for single markets. (I hope you get what I mean, otherwise I'll take pictures)
Edit: Yes, a normal game case is included. The cover in the LE says "Not for resale".

You're taking pictures of what exactly? Do you have the game already?
Including two game cases seems a little nonsensical, though, but I guess it's cool if you're OCD and don't want a steelbook sticking out.

Just from the video, but then I found some official pictures.

Is this game designed for used with the Classic Controller pro?
I prefer the Wiimote/Nunchuk, but it works equally well with either.
There are no motion controls at all.

Hail, peons, for I have come as ambassador from the great and bountiful Blueberry Butt Explosion
I played through the entire game with the CC Pro. It works well. It might piss you off a little bit that almost every action is mapped to one button, though.
Like rape to the ears.... Dear god. >.>
It's not that bad!? But I also think that Starfox Adventures has some of the most charming voice acting.

That's ear rape? That's amazing compared to all the crap we've had over the years. You should hear the Radiant Dawn dub by NOA.

You have to hear to THERIUS Voice Sample 2!
Dat british dub, so good
Syrenne's voice especially is god awful. I cringe just thinking about that shit. Can I assume you guys are from outside the UK?
Yes.
Voice-acting sounds fine to me... Syrenne is supposed to be like that. She's even more over the top in the Japanese version, as you can see below
Someone put all the new vids in English on the site on Youtube.
It also looks like they changed the lipsyncing to match the VA, at least in the closeups

They probably would've announced it by now. As they didn't even bother to include a 50 hz mode, they probably don't want some additional costs caused by a dual layer disc either.
Really like the scope of the city.

The dual covers are kinda pointless, aren't they. NoA did this right for Xeno, by putting the game logo on the back of the DVD case, while our optional covers make the games look like some kind of bootleg in the shelf, lol.
edit: dam, I usually can't stand these typical brown-greyish games currently, but I really love the looks of the city in this game and one dungeon that I've already played at an event last year. I wouldn't have minded if the characters were slightly less anime-looking, but I'll take that over hobbits and elves any day.
Quite a bit to do... I believe there's around 30 sidequests in the city, plus all the shops and the Battle Arena. There are also a couple chapters that take place in locations in the city.
No, the only time you get to pick characters is for the Battle Arena and when you revisit dungeons. You have set parties dictated by the storyline going on.

Just found out it features an (online) multiplayer. An odd thing to have for this game.
The multiplayer co-op bosses are fun as hell. I probably ran those more than I played the main game. Some damn epic fights and you get to keep the gear you get for your single player game. I only wish it had more bosses or the ability to add more.
Every time someone links to that damn site I click on it and get stuck listening to the music.
Looking forward to this very much.
BTW: can people who play the game on a hacked Wii also play online?
I assume there`ll be enough Europeans for me to play with, but I am just curious.

Homebrew is usually no problem.
I had no problems playing online against Japanese players with my Japanese copy of the game on my homebrewed American Wii.
Beyond the co-op which is great, the "Deathmatch" is pretty fun as well. There's 10 different maps and you can play a team game or free for all. You can play as any of your party members, plus probably a dozen enemies/bosses so there's several different "classes" to choose from, essentially. You can pick up items that drop on the map to give you an advantage (also rare items drop on the map that you can use in single player). The points you get double in the last minute of the match so I had a lot of matches where people made epic comebacks.
The mix of elements feels pretty fresh compared to anything else I've played. Melee attacks, arrows (you can pick up fire arrows, poison arrows, etc on the map), magic spells. You can block all those attacks as well.
There's also a ranking system ala Call of Duty where you level up the more you play in deathmatch/co-op, although it doesn't give you any advantage over the other players.
First I've heard of this game. Screens look good, digging the setting and style. The VA sounds good to me, since I love all manners of English accents.
JOY!
Are these unique bosses or rehashes of singleplayer bosses?

Sakaguchi uploaded a pic of the steelbook on his facebook account.
I don't really like steelbooks but this one looks pretty nice.
I so want the CE now
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.

No split-screen, right?

If they really fixed some of the framerate issues, I am even more impressed with their localisation.
Anyway, just watched the video review. They are spoilering quite a bit in the beginning about Lisa, etc, but it might be those are early revelations. When it started getting too much, I skipped ahead a couple mins, only to be told the tactic for three different bosses. They are as bad as gametrailers!
Nevertheless, the game looks great and they are recommending it highly. I cannot wait. Till then, I will also have finished Dragon Quest IV DS, so my body is ready.
EDIT:
Thank you both. Now I can start convincing American friends of mine to import the game. (And have the more likely option of playing against fellow gaffers from around the world)

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
That's some of the nicest quality Wii capture. How did they do it? The first scene in the tavern with the character close ups at a glance looked almost like it was CG from the game (with the window at its normal size obviously, the jaggies become evident enlarged) whereas in previous videos it was obvious that part was in game with horrible IQ. Good to see it run smooth-ish too
Edit: or is that part actually CG? Not as jagged as the rest footage even when enlarged... I like the English VA.

That tavern scene is CG. Yes the capture quality is really good in that video.
