* NoExportForYou: The case of this game is quite possibly the strangest and most bemoaned instance of this trope in video games since the fate of the ''VideoGame/EarthBound'' franchise. In an odd reversal of precedent (said oddity didn't pass without notice), Nintendo of Europe released the game in their territories, while Nintendo of America has spent two years ignoring it before quietly dropping it from their upcoming release calender. It's particularly strange in that obviously there's an English localization that's being actively sold elsewhere in the world.
** In response came [[http://oprainfall.blogspot.com/ Operation Rainfall]], a movement not unlike the (unsuccessful) ones which have been after ''VideoGame/EarthBound'' for years. Their goal is to demonstrate support for the game (and [[PandorasTower two]] [[VideoGame/TheLastStory others]]) to show Nintendo of America that there IS interest in the games in a time of dearth of good Wii games, with the aim of getting the games released in the United States. Results have been mixed; while in the early days of the movement Nintendo of America decided to declare their lack of plans for the games on their Twitter and Facebook pages (with much anticipatory fanfare), Reggie Fils-Aime has since gone on record saying they're watching how they sell in Europe and Australia and make a decision from there. Either way, it's far from over.
** Speaking of, now it's been released in Australia, usually the king of NoExportForYou. Nintendo of America has NO excuse now.
** '''''Finally''''' averted, but it took long enough: it's scheduled for a limited April 2012 release in [=GameStop=] and Nintendo stores.

* Speaking of which, here's a fun fact: The [[Magazine/{{Edge}} Edge Magazine]] gave the game a special award for having the best localisation of 2011. Although they specifically refered to the British English translation and its {{Woolseyism}}, the other four languages were just as great. They sure had to be happy in the Nintendo of Europe localisation department.

Shout outs are not trivia


* ShoutOut:
** The Eryth Sea seems to be a [[IncrediblyLamePun Cross]] [[VideoGame/ChronoCross between Terra Tower and Chronopolis]].
** The scene when [[spoiler:the High Entia are turned into Telethia for merging again with Zanza]] is almost identical to the scene in ''VideoGame/{{Xenogears}}'' when [[spoiler:almost the whole human kind is turned into Wels and go back to Deus]].
*** A similar scene occurs [[spoiler:at the end of Xenosaga III, only this time with humanity reverting to Gnosis]].
** If you do the Getting to Know Dorothy quest with Melia in your party, you'll hear the line "[[WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfZelda Excuse me, Princess!]]"
** There's a cutscene with HumongousMecha flying around and throwing lances which may remind you of [[EndOfEvangelion something...]]
*** The ending-sequence also contains {{Shout Out}}s to ''End Of Evangelion''. [[spoiler: Specifically, the head of Bionis in the distance is a reference to Giant!Rei's head.]]
** One of the mechons (basically a robot) is called Xord. [[PowerRangers That said, pronounce the x in Xord the same way as the x in Xenoblade.]]
** [[spoiler: Fiora’s mechanization and resurrection is very similar to that of the Masked Man’s from ''VideoGame/MOTHER3''.]]
*** [[spoiler: In addition, when she is inside of the face unit, her head resembles the visor that KOS-MOS from ''VideoGame/{{Xenosaga}}'' sometimes wears.]]
** Dickson's blade is like a splicing of the Buster sword from ''FinalFantasyVII'' and the Gunblade from ''FinalFantasyVIII''.
** Riki's fire-based Art is called [[WebAnimation/HomestarRunner Burninate.]]
** You can tell it was dubbed in England: Shulk and Reyn's gem-crafting "To me!"/"To you!" banter is a blatant reference to the Chuckle Brothers!
** Accepting a sidequest from a certain High Entia female will earn you a encouragement along the lines of, "Defeat that monster--[[ZeroWing for great justice!]]" and then [[IAlwaysWantedToSayThat her admitting that she always wanted to say that.]]
** The game gives you an achievement for filling all of a character's upgrade slots with gems. The name of said achievement? [[{{WesternAnimation/Jem}} "Truly outrageous"]].
** The achievement for performing your first trade? [[FullmetalAlchemist "Equivalent Exchange"]].
** The [[spoiler:Mechonis Core]] seems to have a few {{Shout Out}}s to ReturnOfTheJedi. First we have Junks manoeuvring through the exhaust pipe while being chased by Mechon, a la the Millenium Falcon being chased by TIE fighters (one of the Mechon even crashes as a TIE fighter does). Then there's Shulk screaming on the floor while being shocked by blue lightning, and finally, [[spoiler:the BigBad trying to convince Shulk to kill someone he really wants to but knows he shouldn't. With a LaserBlade, no less.]]
