    The game I really want to see localised is Night of Sacrifice, but I'm not holding my breath :(

    I'll believe a Wii Dragon Quest when I see it on the shelf and not a day earlier. Bethesda is 'working' on a Wii RPG too, you know.

    MS or Sony would be hyping the utter shit out of this game due to pedigree alone. Due to such poor consumer awareness, it'll probably move medicore numbers if it ever does get localized, and then ninty and everyone else will scratch their heads and wonder what happened.


    morons...

    They might hype it

    But I doubt it would do any good anyways

    Especially when people are like "Yep, these guys gave us Blue Dragon for fuck's sake, and Lost Odyssey."

    This looks... fucking slick. The presentation is beyond top notch. No wonder Nintendo is hyping it to hell and back in Japan. If this doesn't come out in the US someone had better translate it and make a bootloader like they did for Fatal Frame (I wonder if that actually works though... I haven't wanted to import a game that might be useless).

    Nintendo’s told VG247 it has “no plans” currently to bring The Last Story to western audiences.

    “We have no plans at present,” a rep told us when asked if it was bring brought west at some point this year.

    The publisher’s comment comes as two new videos of the game appeared online, including a five-minute long trailer.

    The movie details some the Mistwalker RPG’s finer story plot details, albeit in Japanese, as well as showing off gameplay action and the world of Ruli Island.

    A 15-second TV ad has also appeared alongside it. Get that below with the trailer.

    The Last Story releases on January 27 in Japan for Wii.

    :(

    So, do freeloaders work well? This and xenoblade may be the impetus to actually get me to import.

    This is the first game in a while that has garnered a minimum of interest. Which has not happened with a wii game for a while. It looks cool.

    My only complaint is that "The Last Story" sounds the same as "Final Fantasy"

    Not sure if it means anything, however I have found a store that is accepting preorders for The last story, when I asked about a release date I was told that they were expecting it to come out by the end of the year.

    Of course this is just what I heard from a retailer, so a grain of salt is in order.

    I've played the European version, if that counts. And my thoughts are that it's OK, it's got some likeable characters and the battle system is reasonbly fun, but Xenoblade Chronicles and Pandora's Tower are superior games.

    This cracks me up.

    Anyway, I had totally forgotten I had this preordered on Amazon. Ugh, right between Darksiders 2 and Fall of Cybertron. This might have to wait so I can put the time it deserves into it.

    Sorry to bump the thread, but what's the deal with this game? Isn't it supposed to come out today? Not a single store has it and any online retailer I check either shows a different release date (Amazon) or none at all (EBGames).

    I played some of this on holiday vacation, I am curious if some of the stuff you find changes the plot. I need to read the manual.

    I finally finished this. Seriously, this had probably my favorite video game love story of all time, and the ending was pretty tragic and made me sad.

    One of the most well told stories of the generation. See Square, this is how it's done.

    I did all the chapters, including the optional ones. The final boss took me a few tries to finally beat...but I did it.

    Seyrenne and Reyn would make the most awesome babies of all time!

    But but, Sharla would have him drawn and quartered for that!

    ;-)

    Alright and in this next scene all the animals have AIDS.

    I got a little excited when I saw your ship.

    That's true, and I do love Sharla and Reyn together. It's fun watching him be stupid and her picking on him for it.

    Although Seyrenne could so totally take her. :P

    Wow. That sucks, I guess nobody ended up playing this? I just started a bit ago after getting it for Secret Santa and I'm liking it a lot so far.

    In fact, I just got a set of dragon armor and thought, "Huh, looks neat. Reminds me of Legend of Dragoon armor kinda." Then I pumped it up to +6 immediately and holy shit what the hell did I just do.

    It's XSEED's most successful game, so enough people played it. Not huge numbers, but enough.

    Well that's good. Though I kind of meant more on this forum since it looks like there's been next to no discussion of it.

    We actually had a few people play the import in the other thread. Myself included. Hell, I managed to accidentally order the super duper edition twice, so I have an extra floating around her unopened.

    Ah, I see. This was the first one that came up. I'll have to check out that one too, thanks.
