70-100 hours...nice! :)

[hay]

And it looks fantastic! Damn, I need Wii.

[King Kazma]

This game looks calm and beautiful but at the same time looks action-packed, but I sure hope there's a great storyline, without that, it'd be just another game... Which I hope is not.

[pcz]

the japanese box art looks brilliant

[beardpapa]

You guys should check out the article on SanCon about this game. It looks like crap.

[akashifire]

The cutscenes may look crap, but the in game screens are pretty nice.

[Mahr]

I should probably stop following games in Japan that don't have stateside releases officially announced. We can't even get Bamco to do the right thing and release a game like Tales of Graces in the West. In the words of the bard, @#$%ing thing sucks.

[Baka-akaB]

it's a nintendo titles , of course it will be there

[Mahr]

"it's a nintendo titles"

That's what worries me.

So were Captain Rainbow, Fatal Frame IV, and Another Code R. Nintendo of America managed to dodge all of them.

Earthbound and Mother 3 were both Nintendo titles, and a lot of people are *still* waiting for an actual western release that's never going to come.

Heck, Disaster: Day of Crisis (Monolith Soft's last game), was a Nintendo title, shown at E3, actually localized for an English speaking audience, officially announced for a North American release, and it *still* managed to not come here.

So, hope for a PS3-360 version, or will never bother, i have enough RPGs that look and play amazingly well on both PS3 and 360 to consider buying a game that will look like 5 years old

When did i say WW graphics are bad ?

They are 100x better than both Zelda TP and than ANY Wii game

As i hve said before, Wii harwdare is far inferior to GC one, it shows more and more
Probably spec wise is better, but GC has far more beatifull games, thus i guess is far harder (or imposible) to master like GC

WW is also one fo the few low resolution games that actually look good to great on my 32'' HDTV, Zelda TP in constrast look TERRIBLE, some of the worst visuals i have seen on a HDTV ever

The bad news is that Zenoblades look worst than all those games

[akashifire]

You have no taste if you think Wind Waker graphics are bad. All your other points have no credibility.

[SpoonyRedMage]

Well it's not going to PS3 or 360 because it's a Nintendo game so why don't you f*ck off and stop trolling every article about it you sad twat.

[Omega6]

lol lab, please stop. Your a waste of a soul.

[Meryl]

ignore this troll he also thinks x360 graphic are better than ps3's, xenoblade looks mighty fine for a Wii title and graphics are not everything, as I learnt with FF XIII, story > graphics, xenoblade will probably have a better story than FF XIII's lol

[SuperStrokey1123]

Hey labby, Fable doesnt have the nicest trees. Just saying

[CherryLu-Chan]

Some really cracking games coming out on the Wii this year and this is another i'm really looking forward to.

[bangoskank]

... but would be even cooler if it was coming out for the PS3 or 360.
The concept art is amazing and makes one yearn to see it realized on a more advanced platform than the Wii.

[Gr81]

Because we all know that graphics are the most important thing in an rpg. How did you enjoy the letdown that was FFXIII? Sure there are no towns with a population greater the 5 but the game sure looked great!

[pcz]

So typical how on the net if you say anything mildly negative or not popular opinion you are instantly labelled a troll or flamer. How about about you just have a different opinion?

Now, lets get this straight, this game looks ugly. Take off your fanboy goggles and look again, it is not even 'nice.' True, it might be a awesome game, but stop saying the graphics are beautiful when they aren't, its embarrassing.

Labwarrior is right about twilight princess' graphics on a lcd tv- they suck big time. This xenoblade game looks even worse.

[bangoskank]

Nah... I didn't even bother with FFXIII and I've been an FF fan for almost 20yrs. Gameplay is key. Looking at the Xenoblade artwork I imagined an epic battle taking place in which the protagonist is on foot while enormous gears fight around him; maybe add some Shadow of the Colossus type gameplay. I'm thinking more about scale rather than pretty visuals.

[Gr81]

I can get with that.

[playerone]

Remember that monolith soft is nintendo owned. You should expect this to have nintendo first party quality. While the graphics looks a bit unpolished (who someone has already pointed out), i'm excepting the finished product to look better. Lets wait until we see the actual gameplay first!

Otherwise this looks to be a beautiful game :)

[na-no-nai]

look beautiful. anticipating it

[fatstarr]

i want to see some gameplay vids.

[AWBrawler]

it seems full of Otaku goodness, and mysteries a plenty. The vague detail and tight lip about it, only make s me want it more. Same goes for Last Story
