Xenoblade is finally out!

[ZenErik]

You're probably right. I'll consider it next week. I told myself I would only buy one game a week from now on, and I just ordered the special edition European release of Arcana Heart 3 earlier today. 1/3 the price of the Japanese release and has the same 144 page art book? Count me in.

I don't know how low the production run is guys. Don't forget it's being published BY NINTENDO THEMSELVES. The store I bought it from had like 3 copies of the collector's edition (that's how many they carry for big time games like COD as well).

Also I repeat, no reason to ask somebody to send it to you. This site is amazingly cheap and ships to the US with only 5€ shipping costs (at least it used to. I used to pay 1.15€ P&P per item, but now they made it free for me as well, so who knows how much it is for you guys).

And by the way the game is AMAZING




SPOILER

I was amazed at the quality of the story. It plays to some cliches (the ones we know and love), but then it also mixes things up. I am right after the part Fiora dies, and FFS when I saw her I said "love interest and healer" and well....she was a damage dealer (a girl damage dealer? whaaaaaaaaaa?) and instead of being the love interest she is the ony who dies. Meanwhile when Dunbar joined I was telling to myself "dead man walking" and turns out it wasn't him who died. I loved that plot twist which flipped on its head the usual "twist" of JRPGs


AND OF SPOILERS




BTW love the British cast. It's a breath of fresh air compared to the always American voice cast (no offense guys. It's just that variety gives off a better taste, does it not?)

Any other links on where to buy from? Considering Zavvi, but it says it will "ship within a month". Wouldn't mind getting it a little more quickly.

Just started playing the ISO I downloaded and it's great so far. Definitely want to make a purchase.

loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool. The most it has ever taken me to get something shipped is about a week, but perhaps they are having supply issues with the game? If yes, FUCK YEAH cult hit

EDIT

Well there is also shopto.net

http://www.shopto.net/WII/VIDEO%20GAMES ... rrency=EUR

(but I've never bought anything from there)

There is also play.com

But it doesn't say anything on its site about delivering outside the EU but you can look around (basically try ordering it and see if they accept your address as delivery address).

Great news . You guys will get the best JRPG of the last (at least) 7 years .

BTW, might I ask why are you glad you didn't import? You'd still have gotten the game 9 months earlier than when you will get it.

A Gamestop or Nintendo direct exclusive? Really? Boo.

There's the Nintendo of America not far from me in Times Square if you want me to pick it up for you.

Also, I just noticed the non-scrooge Scrooge in your avatar.
