One of the all time highest rated Wii exclusives is right on the verge of release, and yet no one is talking about it. So watch some videos and get hyped.

I'll be replaying it in honor of the greatness that Monolith Soft produced, and so I can relive the excitement through you guys playing it for the first time!

The only problem I would have is I wouldn't have time I have an essay due next Monday and I have to search through a lot of pages I printed out just to find what I want to use for my Essay. I don't think I will properly have a lot of time until April 27th. That is my last day this semester.

Pre-paid already. I'm not watching any of those vids because I don't want to spoil anything and want my experience to be fresh.

Sounds like most (if not all) of EB Games locations in Canada are releasing it tomorrow due to reduced holiday hours on Friday. So I might be playing it tomorrow night.

I thought it was coming out today EDIT: [QUOTE="DJ_Lae"]Sounds like most (if not all) of EB Games locations in Canada are releasing it tomorrow due to reduced holiday hours on Friday. So I might be playing it tomorrow night.

I so that's why. Anyways, Pre-ordered, and pre-paid. No artbook left for them, but still, it probably would just be more of a burden when moving anyway.

I'm picking it up today in a few hours. I don't have class today so I can play most of the day, but I gotta head to campus to go to work in the evening, but at least Friday is a day off.

I'm not going to be able to play until the end of April because finals are going to kill me. >_______> At least once I start playing I won't have to worry about interruptions, but I still have to finish Tales of the Abyss first.

My GameStop said they needed 40 preorders to do midnight launch and they didn't make it. He also said the have 6 extra copies on top of preorders and he let me look through art book.

Picked mine up during my lunch break. It's going to be rough going at first, though, haven't played a Wii game in a few months and there's always a jarring hour of getting used to 480p again.

Trust me, it'll be the character faces that will take the getting used to :P The eyes painted on an eggshell criticism is pretty valid :P

Well, I have been playing a fair bit of Radiant Historia, which isn't exactly a looker itself - maybe it won't be that painful. (though it uses static sprites during conversations, not low res polygonal models)

I can't pick it up for at least a week, and I'm going to be so busy finishing up the school year that I won't have much time to play it anyway. Oh well, this just makes me that much more excited for summer.

Game's a lot of fun so far, although it's not really a looker. Still, the combat system feels fun enough (a lot like White Knight in its MMO-lite approach) and its structure seems to borrow a fair bit from western RPGs and MMOs. I also find the game's very blatant inclusion of achievements to be a satisfying sort of knock against all those Wii owners who seem to hate them.with a passion because Nintendo seems uninterested in them. They are very prominent and even include in-game pop ups a la 360/PS3. Also love the reversible cover, especially as Canada generally gets shafted with that sort of thing (morso on the PS3, less on the Wii). I quickly switched it over as the original cover is generic as hell. If I have a complaint it's that the side quests seem like they will remain horrible bland filler throughout the entire experience. They're the worst lifted bit from MMOs.

Speaking as a UK user who's played a lot of it, have fun. It's a great game, but it is also incredibly long.

Got my copy. The art book is pretty nice. Maybe it'll go for a high price in the future. :D

No not at all.

Was asking cause I never purchased a Wii motion plus yet. Was considering up picking this (also tales of abyss for 3DS, if they have it stock now....) pretty soon. Just need more positive feedback from this forum to help make up my mind...:)
