Xenoblade Chronicles

Awesome Game, Shame it's not in the US

It is a true shame that this game is only available in Europe and Asia.

Thanks to some overseas contacts I was able to acquire the English version of this game.

It is not only the best RPG title for the Wii by far (that being said, I haven't played Arc Rise Fantasia yet), it might be one of the top 2 or 3 RPG's I've ever played.. and i've played a LOT of them.

I'm not fully completed with the game yet (about 2/3rds as far as i can tell), but the graphics are the best i've seen on the wii, the voice acting is mostly good, the story line is highly compelling, and the battle features are unique and interesting. It did take me a long time to get used to the battle system as it was a lot different than many of the final fantasy games. It is the most similar in nature to final fantasy XII.

Very very cool game that I look forward to playing every time I sit down.

I hope it comes to America at some point so that everyone can get a chance with this game.

I will come back to this review after I finish the game, but as of right now I think it has the potential to land as the #1 or #2 RPG i've ever played.

Currently:
#1) FF VII
#2) FF IV
#3) FF XII
#4) Chrono Trigger
#5) FF IX
#6) FF VI

I completed this Xenoblade game a few months ago.. it's now finally released in the States.

It is an excellent game and I would highly recommend playing it. It was on par with Final Fantasy XII in terms of my enjoyment of it.

FF7 is your #1 RPG?

Son, I am disappoint. ;_;

But kudos for beating me to this game. It looks like it will be a race to see who finishes first.
