Buy Xenoblade Chronicles!!!!!!! NOW!!!!!!!!
I was going to put up a review of this game once I'd 100% it but 50 hours in I realise it would have been a very one-note review. So I'll simply say this: this is one of (if not) the greatest RPGs I have played on any console.
It does all the simple things right gameplay-wise from (the obligatory) fetch quests not requiring a return to the task-setting NPC to the feeling of accomplishment upon finally taking down a monster that was too strong for you at the game's opening 20/30 or 40 hours later.
It is an absolute disaster that this game didn't get a release in North America as it will along with Skyward Sword (I'm sure) go down as one of the greatest games on the Wii that being released at the end of the console's life-cycle was able to make complete use of the console's capabilities.
