I don't see the big deal about having a store exlcusive. They aren't exactly going to ship millions of copies. Would be great if 1 store had a ton of preorders so they could do a Midnight Launch. I'd fly all the way to America for a Xenoblade Midnight launch even though i've beaten the game.

ToS sold ridiculous amounts though ,still the best selling Tales game outside Japan by an absolute mile, i agree though. Vesperia was much better.
Also Xenoblade has a far better story/characters than TOS.

Fun fact: In Europe, the Gamecube had more RPGs than the PS2 until, like, 2007.
Anyway, Xenoblade is nothing like ToS. As much as I love ToS, Xenoblade is better. Actually, it's the best RPG of the generation and that's nothing to do with the fact that it's on the Wii. And while ToS was closer to a "traditional" JRPG, Xenoblade mixes elements of JRPGs, WRPGs, and MMOs. It's kind of like a love letter to the entire genre. But yeah, the only real ToS similarity is the fact that it's an RPG on a Nintendo console. In actuality, it's closer to Skyrim than ToS (though not quite like that either). -- Something something something ^Poorly disguised anti-caps sig ... Copied to Clipboard!

It's possible there could be something I like in it, but from what I have seen I know I'm not fond of the voice acting or battle system. I don't really care about quests or exploration in RPGs either. I might check it out when it price drops a bit, but I don't feel convinced I'd be satisfied buying it at release price.

Lord Ephraim 12/12/11 6:51:00 PM #34: |
The only comparisons I can think of ToS to Xenoblade is an overhyped RPG on a RPG starved Nintendo console fanbase. With one hand I can count the good RPGs on the Wii/Gamecube including ports.
Maybe I'm it that boat that thought Xenoblade was "okay". I hate MMO style combat and all the characters were one dimensional. My Wii's video card is messed up so the graphics looked like ass. -- SNARGLEBLAGH SSBB Friend Code: 1891-0824-9639 ... Copied to Clipboard!

Xenoblade is undeniably ToS syndrome. It's still the RPG of the generation though.
It's possible there could be something I like in it, but from what I have seen I know I'm not fond of the voice acting or battle system. Set the voices to Japanese. Problem solved. And the battle system is impossible to hate, regardless of whether you prefer turn-based or real-time battles. I don't really care about quests or exploration in RPGs either. Dumb complaint, since that's optional and unlike most WRPGs, Xenoblade has a great and lengthy main plot as well as all the sandbox stuff. I can't imagine anyone wouldn't want to explore a world as beautifully designed as Xenoblade's, though. -- Signature change in progress... Please wait. ... Copied to Clipboard!

It sounds pretty hard to love, though... I haven't heard much good about it, which says something considering how much B8 adores this game. Generally I feel like the highest praise is being heaped on the game by the types of people who don't care about RPG battle systems... not a good sign! I'll probably play the game when it finally comes out here, but I'm not terribly optimistic as it sounds like a mix of things (FF12, exploration) that I don't really care for, plus I really hated the most recent Xeno game (although mercifully it sounds like the two don't have much in common). High opinions here make it worth checking out, but lower opinions at some other places I'm hanging out at temper the enthusiasm. -- The RPG Duelling League: www.rpgdl.com An unparalleled source for RPG information and discussion ...
