Thank you RMC for posting this. If anyone has any constructive criticism I'm all ears. Too long? Too harsh on NOA? Not harsh enough on NOA? Please let me know, and thanks for watching.

23 minutes?

Eh, not sure I can handle that.
Edit: ZEH-NO-BLADE? Isn't it ZAY-NO-BLADE?

@SaberSmasher lots of whining, but good review. I don't see why there is so much hate toward NoA with xenoblade. They did bring the game over expecting to sell poorly.

I've always pronounced it ZEE-NO-BLADE, though ONM and Greg from RFN say ZEH-NO-BLADE. I guess that's a British thing? I dunno LOL.

EDIT: I don't like this guy. To be frank, he sounds kind of like an arrogant douche-bag. Kinda hard to watch. Sorry :/

....this guy's jokes are... pretty awful, Like... really awful. Fair points, but yeah. His jokes suck.

Also, this guy really needs to be more concise. Spending two and a half minutes on the boxart isn't good video content. And using tired phrases like "it's not a game, it's an experience" is just... I... it... GAH! STOP IT! BAD!

I agree with the points made here. I have all 3 systems and out of the 3 systems I feel the most shafted with the Wii as far as getting Japanese titles. On PS3 the system is region free, on 360 the only import I want is Monster Hunter Frontier, but on Wii however there's a ton of games that haven't came here and we're not sure they will come here. Even more so, unlike last generation, I can't get a freeloader and import titles and because the system is region locked, in order to play imported games without buying a console from that respected region I have to mod my Wii... which is risky for me as I have gotten quite a few games out of the Wii Shop and if my system messes up, I'll have to kiss them goodbye.

Good review btw. Pretty accurate.

@SaberSmasher

a)NoA didn't publish the game, I think...XSEED did.

b) As I'm given to understand, the year in the copyrights claim is always behind by one.Unless the year is close to end, the year shown in the copyrights claim is a number behind.

EDIT: a) is wrong. Nintendo published it.

@Battlestriker123
I'm English and I pronounce it "Zee"

Still, Zeh is preferable to Zay

Why make such a long review with so much crap? I couldn't even finish watching it. It just gets annoying so I really did skip to the review part FAST. I didn't watch the entire part of that, but from what I gather we agree on very much. It is an amazing RPG. It's an amazing game actually. Actually it got me back into RPGs (I kinda quit after FF8) AND it's very original. It is an experience for sure. Great music and I really like the VA too (the British one). Of course they had to cut corners since the Wii couldn't handle the entire world with better GFX. But the design of the levels make up for it with ease. A great game... But next time stop whining and make shorter review, OK? ;)
