Nah. Its gonna be a US confirmed title in April. GET YOUR MONEY READY! I'm running around for this. hehehe.

6th April 2012.

A chronicle unfolds.

In English.

IN MALAYSIA.

Prices coming soon.

70 hours story mode.

70 more hours of subquests (500 of them).

JRPG, where ahve you been all my life...

Pick Xenoblade of the shelf of rocket_jet shop in BSC few days ago.

The game is superb!!

I must say that this is the deepest element JRPG that I had ever played. It's like it combines the best recipe across all MMORPG and single player RPG till date. Think the elements from RO, Lineage 2, FF, and other RPG that you had known of combined altogether in this masterpiece. The massively large scale beautiful open world is truly something to hold your breath on. If you think Adamantoise or other similar species in FFXIII is the largest monster model that you ever seen, then you will be even more amazed as you are definitely going to see even LARGER monster in Xenoblade.

One downside to this game, sadly, is the camera view. I found myself that I have to manually shift the view just to get the optimal view that I was looking for. The auto adjustment in the setting just didn't live up to my expectation. Take no heed for this weakness as it is a purely subjective matter.

In conclusion, the story is great, the entire game mechanic is impressive, and you are definitely not going to get lost even after leaving in on shelf for a year! Take my word when I say, 'Xenoblade is the JRPG that will leave you craving for more (some even develop OCD on it!), and you are definitely going to spent at least 50 hours on completing this game'.

This game is like 'monster-hunter-with-decent-story-and-autobot'

There goes 30++ hours of my life

I have heard many good stuffs about Monster Hunter but it's really a shame that I didn't get the chance to play it. But one thing that I know is Xenoblade will really thrilled any JRPG gamers, be it novice or veteran. Good for you to spent only 30 hours+, I might spent over 100!

Seriously people, u can go up to 140 hours if u wanted to. There's 500 frigging subquests!

will get this once i have some extra cash to spend. a few last title to grab before they move on to wii U.

omg Xeno chronicles D:

but the price damn..!

I know.... sigh...

some vids from me



its been a while since last I played JRPG that allows JP voiceover and english subs/menu to be together on-disc


i think i got addicted to this game already after 4 hours gameplay...but must resist..need to finish assasin creed brotherhood first...else i will never play AC brotherhood again :'(

if you used wii classic controller/wii classic controller pro, you can manualy adjust the camera view using right analog....i found myself play much more comfortable using wii classic controller than wiimote/nunchuck eventhough the controller is small

i wanna buy the last story US next, but lets hope there will be additional story line to the game since the story line won't beat Xenoblade definitely. (played JP version)

and...the last story played well on wiimote+nunchuck

For any of you who just want to enjoy the epic story for this game without having time to play, view my YouTube channel here. It took me quite some time to process the final output, so I hope you guys like it.

*I only started to upload video from Prison Tower event which is about a quarter of the story coz that's the moment when I feel the story really started to manifest.

im now at 15hours mark of theg ame, just arrive at nopon village.

now im having confusion to switch reyn witjh dunban or not

anyone have a skill investment guide on shulk, reyn and dunban?

If you want to play safe, just keep Shulk, Reyn and Sharla in your party. Switch Sharla for Dunban for faster victory.

For me I invest heavily on Back Slash, Stream Edge, Slit Edge and Air Slash . For Reyn, invest in any aggro skills. For Sharla, allocate more points on Heal Bullet, Heal Round, Cure Bullet, and Shield Round. That's what I did. Luckily investing skill points doesn't require careful planning like Etrian Odyssey, if you ever play it.

I read about Dunban's godlike evasion tanking with many agi gems buffs+not many crappy skills like reyn...which makes me wants to switch reyn out.

about shulk, did you invenst on monado buster, shield, purge or dodge (forget the real name) to the max, say..pass Lv 4 of the skill?

last game i played with careful skill investment was dragon age origins..i hate to redo my skills investment

I believe you can maximize Dunban potential in the late game after you had acquired some high quality Agi Up gems and unlocked his additional skill branch. Sure his strength is good but Reyn surpasses him in the area of HP and defence. There had been many times that I didn't get Game Over because Reyn is taking the hits for me. His aggro skills are perfect, which enable me to use Back Slash effectively.

For Shulk, I mainly invest in Buster and Enchant, but with much focus put on Enchant since I use it A LOT, even against non-Mechon enemy for its attack boost. Other skill such as shield, purge, or Speed is pretty much useless since I put Sharla on my team. If I get any vision I can just ask Sharla to heal, hence without the need for Shield. Purge is useful against Telethia only, which you rarely encounter until much late game. So it would be wise to invest only if you really think it is necessary. If you want to invest your AP, it is better to invest in normal arts instead of Monado arts since the cooldown for Monado is long and you need to wait until the Talent gauge is maxed out. In other words, you use normal arts much frequently than Monado arts.

well..my buster and shield already at lv 4
i didn't up enchant yet, maybe later will

i just bought back salsh, slit edge, stream edge and air slash book.

the skill in yellow color (4got name) and physical arts, is it important? i always use physical arts to get aggro away from me and then back slash
