This is the place to discuss everything Xenoblade Chronicles related. Discuss your first impressions, strategies, Q&A or just brag about your current stats and achievements/awards. I know Japan and the PAL territories have already had this game for a good while now, but we Americans just received our copies on April 6th. So allow the discussions to commence! Side Note: Please add a, "Spoilers Alert," heading, if your post(s) contains possible spoilers. This JRPG is way too awesome to ruin the experience for somebody else. |

Good idea. My copy hasn't even shipped yet which I'm pretty bummed about. |

Thank you, @LK. They say great minds think alike. Hahaha! By the way, where/how the hell did you still find a copy of Xenoblade Chronicles. You seriously got lucky my friend. The fricken artbook is selling for $50.00 right now on Amazon. Who cares about saving $5.00 off the cost of a Classic Controller Pro, when you can save $50/full price by selling the artbook on Amazon? I'm seriously thinking about listing mine soon. lol |

I bought it off the Nintendo Official Online Store (whatever it's called). It didn't say it was sold out or anything and my purchase went through, so it should still ship. |

I'm playing it right now, I bought mine from a Gamestop on the 6th. It's been really fun so far, still trying to get used to the controls, perhaps it would be easier on a classic controller. |

The controls take some time to get used to - it plays a lot like a MMO in that regard - auto attacking and such. But the battle system keeps on expanding right up until the end, so it's never dull. |

Yeah, I actually really like the battle system, though at times I will just let a fight run through as I do something on the computer. As for controls, I using Wiimote + Nunchuck and they feel pretty natural. |

This is one reason why I ended up not getting this game. The battle system sounds very Final Fantasy XII. I didn't really like the battle system in FF XII. Also, don't like MMO style. This is also why I ended up not getting White Knight Chronicles. Edited by Pyroll7, Apr 10 2012, 07:38 PM.

Did anyone else buy this game from Nintendo's online store? Mine still hasn't shipped and it's bumming me out. By the time I get it my excitement for the game will probably be gone. |

Mmm, no sorry, I picked I'm up from Gamestop. You might try contacting someone about it to see if they are on back order. |

Sadly, I haven't opened my copy just yet. I've been fairly busy lately, and I've been trying to experience some of the few masterpieces the Wii has to offer. Which I originally missed out on. Right now, I'm playing through Super Mario Galaxy. I can't believe I waited until now to finally purchase a copy. Although, in my defense, I hadn't owned a Wii console until 2010. I couldn't resist the red 25th anniversary console. I don't think I'll be able to wait for very much longer, though. Xenoblade Chronicles hasn't left my thoughts, since I brought it home on April 6th. All of the unmatched praises I've been reading on the other gaming forums I frequent hasn't been making it any easier either.

Yeah, I was overwhelmed by temptation yesterday and decided to open Xenoblade Chronicles. This is a beast of a JRPG! It took me 4 1/2 hours just to scout Colony 9 completely, finish 7 sidequests and I only advanced the story once. I believe Colony 9 is one of the smallest areas in the game too, isn't it? |

Neither did I - and this is one of my favorite games this generation. It's a pricy title - but it's worth renting once it does become available. It's a whole lot of fun- and the story is fantastic. |

Pyroll7, please listen to this man right here, because he knows what he's talking about.
