I didn't even know the game was out, not that I was excited to see by its announcement.

Modified Ura-nage, Torture Rack

Wait, you have it? But I hear there weren't planning for a American release. (and I was sad and angry because of that)

Looks fun, but..............why do all but one enemy die in ONE hit  ^*

? Worse, even a simple arrow kills in one hit...

Also, too much sword users and too little polearm/spear users.

I like the female sounding voice though,I hope it's dual audio if it ever gets an english release.

That's a Wii game? I'm impressed. All those people saying that [insert Wii exclusive here] would look much better on a PS 360 may have to nitpick this time. It's like Twilight Princess was just a warmup.

Not going to comment on any other aspect of the game at all because I was watching a muted video.

I'm sure you've noticed how people tend exagerrate how bad/good graphics are nowadays...

Look at the shitstorm that ensued all over the Alan Wake community after someone blown up an ingame picture by 1000x and located a polygon.

So to the TC...do the enemies all die so fast in the game? Almost every shot from an arrow (often the weakest form of attack in RP Gs) kills enemies in one hit, and most don't last more than 1 hit from a melee attack too.

And do you get to use anything polearm or spear-ish later in the game?

"Every opinion that isn't mine is subjected to Your Mileage May Vary."

... Details please.

You got some dirt on you. Here's some more!

Looking at a trailer for this one, I REALLY want to play it.

But noooooo. No American release, and sure as hell no European release.

Is it just me, or does the guy playing the game roll alot? I mean, yeah, I'm not playing the game, and I'd probably suck and die during the first battle, but still, that's a whole lot of rolling.

Plus he took out his own friends with a bomb.

Alright people, we need to get this game over here. I'm sick of Rpg heroes all being girly-men, or having redonkulous hair, but this still looks good. Start the usual noise. Petitions, loud demands, sacrifices and all that.

There will not be another Last Story, just like there was never a sequel to Final Fantasy.

One Strip! One Strip!

I'll settle for just getting Last Story to the US.

So between this and Xenoblade, which do you guys think is more interesting?

One Strip! One Strip!

Uh, I watched the video, I didn't see any enemies die in one sword hit. I think it went too far in the opposite direction. The only reason I think it could have looked like that is the player ran away after every successful slash while the allies finished what he started. The one hit arrow kills were head shots, and since when are arrows believed to be a "weak" weapon. Arrows are only marginally more survivable than bullets, and should be more deadly than close combat weapons at range, or at least equal.

Anyway, the video really hasn't made me interested in the rest of the game. Too few happenings, too little appeal from combat and no idea what anyone is babbling about.

Modified Ura-nage, Torture Rack

^ I meant arrows are weak by RPG standards.

The only time they ever do damage is in Diablo2...and in that case, Blizzard overcompensated and made them into the Game-Breaker of Game-Breaker s...fuck amazons.

Well all the battles ended way too fast anyways. I'm hoping that's only a 1 hour tutorial.

Something tells me I'll still get it though...it's either this or Monado.

Look at how far we've come! =D

Also, some of the comments here are kinda Hilarious in Hindsight upon reading them! Three or four months ago I was seriously considering hacking my Wii in case I needed to import this game. XD

Also, I think this game has some sexy sexy music! "Bonds" is my favorite! =D

Fantastic Supreme Überkaiser Emperor Folt of The Infinity and Beyond" ... "The First"!

I was looking through the character sheet...is it just me or does that Zangurg guy look a lot like Ganondorf?

Welcome to th:|

You are not alone! I think so too.

Fantastic Supreme Überkaiser Emperor Folt of The Infinity and Beyond" ... "The First"!

European release date announced! It's February 24, guys! Sooner than I expected and I'm really looking forward to a second round of amazing British voice acting!

Awesome! Really hope the dub will be as good as Xenoblade Chronicles as well!

Here's hoping Nintendo actually allows it to come to the US, too.

• prepares to buy a copy of Xenoblade Chronicles just to encourage that outcome*
