Currently sitting, watching the ever-changing title screen and listening to the spectacular score...

 

It's... beautiful. :')

 

*Shakes fist*

 

Damn you! :p

 

I have to wait till Friday to pick it up. At least I can pass the time safe in the knowledge that we'll have The Last Story and Pandora's Tower to play next year as well so that lessens the burden of the wait.

My order with Amazon is just saying "soon to be dispatched" or soemthing like that. Knowing them, I'll get my dispatched email confirmation the morning the game turns up like the last time I ordered a game there.

 

Not that my brother has given me my Wii back despite my asking... and he's gone away too for the night so even if it did somehow turn up tomorrow, I'll struggle to play it until the evening at best.

Despite already having the game, I'm getting surprisingly impatient waiting for my special edition to arrive. Didn't come with the regular post today. A couple of hours ago, a Royal Mail van pulled up outside my house, a postman got out, stood there for a few seconds, then got back in the van and drove off. FUUUUUUUUU.

Anyway, 9/10 from Edge. Must be something in the water.

You know you're playing something special when you find yourself nearly five hours in and you still haven't gone to the first place you've been told to go because you've become distracted by the sheer beauty of the surrounding land along with the astonishing wealth of sidequests. :heh:

 

Currently level 9 and I've taken on a load of quests to thin out numbers of various wildlife, met my match against a lvl 9 Stone Crabble... twas a formiddable foe, almost defeated it but alas it would seem I am not yet strong enough.

:(

 

In other areas I've made great progress though, I've found all of the random items scattered around Colony 9 - which is absolutely mahoooosive! - and yeah... I'm just really, really enjoying this game atm. ^^

 

 

I'll probably get on with the main story later after work... maybe. :wink:

Stock shortages!

 

Received: 1 hour ago

 

Dear Valued Customer,

 

Due to the unexpected late demand for 'Xenoblade Chronicles' the publisher has experienced great stock shortages of this title.

 

All pre orders on our system upto Sunday 14th August were processed in normal fashion and were dispatched in time for release date. Unfortunately due to the stock shortages pre orders placed with ShopTo this week will face a slight delay in shipping. We expect your pre order now to be processed Monday 22nd or Tuesday 23rd August. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

 

 

Regards,

 

ShopTo

 

The world is MASSIVE. I've spent a good 10 minutes just running around collecting blue orbs.

But US gamers they will hate us, cause Europeans will have so much fun

After all, there's only one more sleep til Xenoblade

 

After all, there's only one more sleep til Xenoblade Releases

 

 

I know there's two more verses I could have worked on but the baby just woke up so I had to stop there...

 

Could probably do better if I had more info on the game but I put myself on a spoiler blackout on the game so actually know next to nothing :D

I tell you whats great, the fact that when you die in battle you start at your nearest landmark. This is a nice halfway point between old RPG's making you start at your last save and Final Fantasy XIII's system where you started right at the start of the battle.

 

I haven't progressed the story at all as i'm having too much fun fighting monsters and doing random quests for people. I have died a few times after trying to take on powerful monsters by myself. :D

 

Loving it.
