Also lol @ you guys who played this without the classic controller. Makes it so much easier to control.
The nunchuck/remote combo is CUMBERSOME.

Nope, you are wrong. With wiimote nunchuck control, I can pick my arts and move at the same time.

But that's the only thing. And I don't think moving while using arts makes much difference. The camera control with the 2nd stick on the classic pad is much better. I also don't like stretching my hand down the remote 1 & 2 buttons for the map or the inventory or whatever they put down there.

Fuck yes. I'm worried about XCX control s for this reason.

? You're worried that it will control like any other game of its kind for the past 20 years?

I don't see why you guys need to move and choose arts. I can do it pretty quickly without this method plus have normal controls otherwise.

Geez, wouldn't a touchscreen allow you to move and choose arts?

Fuckin' giant's treasure chests FTW!!



Is that the huge giant sidequest?  I was aiming to clear that but failed because my affinity in the noppon village area wasn't high enough.  Spent hours raising it by a star only to be told i needed To raise It even higher.  At that point I caved in and gave up.

What a shame, it was really interesting to learn what happened to the giants!

If so I'll look it up.  I gave absolute no time to go back to that game.

No, on Prison Island from the arena you can go back to the main hall's 2nd floor where there's a few rooms with treasure chests that have sweet gear in them.

Yes, I hope.

Why wouldn't I want to move and use arts at the same time?

I used it alot to avoid attacks, either backing off or moving left and right to avoid hits.

Well ladies....time for IGA to get all celebratory and shit because another VG PRESSER has just added XENOBLADE to the finished pile!

The end is totally badass....GG I suggest you get back to it, there's really not much more to go after the part you got to. Love how they wrap up the story at the end, and I'm kind of curious as to what they plan on carrying over to the sequel if anything other than the style. I finished at level 80, with a playtime of 97 hours and 10 minutes.

I actually think the only negative about the game is that it drags on a bit TOO long. Also, I'd like to see them clean up the side quests and the menu systems in the sequel. 9.0 Rating from me!

XENOBLADE IS DONE!!!

Do me a favor if you could: I'm going to be playing this on the New 3DS next month. Try to keep those spoilers hidden, please? Thanks!
