Minor thing:

I hope they rename Elza at some point. Or at least in our localization.

Cause you know... it's a female name.

Also: now that I watched the thing:

1. The town seems really cool. I hope it's as vast and complex as Sakaguchi promised. Cool architecture as well.

2. The music reminds of something. Who's the composer again? I have a guess.

3. Oh boy! Full customization/dressing up! That's gonna be fun. Will clothes affect stats and gameplay somehow?

4. HOLY [tornado fang] IS THAT GANONDORF?

VirusChris · **Reply #127 on:** January 12, 2011, 11:31:58 PM

This is looking really good now! I have to get it!

And at the end... is that Ganondorf? What's he doing there? Was he getting tired of getting his butt handed to him by a kid in green clothes?

2: Nobou Uematsu

3. Don't worry, as far as other info has said, each piece of equipment do affects stats, but there is an option (for aethestics reasons of course) where you can put certain parts of 1 equipment (given that it's equipped) invisible and others are visible and the stats won't be affected. You can make ALL of one character's clothing invisble and keep the stats. So expect Birthday Suit Runs

!!! (although, I think it varies from equipment to equipment how many parts of 1 can be altered around). Not sure about cutscenes, aside from changing around stuff for hilarity reasons.

4. Look alike, he does. Hrm.

update: Character Index of The Last Story has been updated w/ two new characters

Ganond-I mean, Zangurg

Tasha

Screw this [parasitic bomb].

VirusChris · **Reply #130 on:** January 13, 2011, 05:09:24 PM

^Seriously, why!? I was so looking forward to buying and playing this game!

I would import if I could but I don't have a hacked Wii... you just got to hate the region lock on systems, what's the point of playing the game you like from a different country if the system to play it locks it out.

Tis a sad day indeed.

What. The. [tornado fang].

Edit: Thinking about it differently, they haven't explicitly denied plans of bringing it over. They just have nothing to say for the here and now, which I guess is par for the course. Still for all, this would be a dumb as [tornado fang]ing [parasitic bomb] maneuver for a game with this pedigree and enthusiasm behind it on all sides if it holds through. I was bummed out with Graces (albeit more Namco's fault there), and Xenoblade's name alone makes me shed a single manly tear, but if Last Story doesn't get a west release, I don't know about anyone else, but I'd rage like no other.

Solar · **Reply #132 on:** January 13, 2011, 08:54:53 PM

You mean you guys were actually expecting it to be different? When was the last time NoA localized anything interesting that Nintendo itself didn't make?

Start with the idea that it won't come out here, so that if it doesn't your heart won't be crushed as badly, and if it does your joy will be greater.

VixyNyan · **Reply #133 on:** January 13, 2011, 09:06:09 PM

I'll get this game anyway. ^^;

Jericho · **Reply #134 on:** January 13, 2011, 09:08:26 PM

@tai - Honestly, I'm like that with a lot of releases, but this one seems(ed?) to be the one that could break the "curse" due to pedigree and hype. I'll stay optimistic but guarded from this point forward though.

@Vix - I'm totally taking Japanese now.

I understand that, but since Xenoblade, which was [tornado fang]ing announced first at E3 is not even showing any sign of getting localized, I've had absolutely 0 hope for this game. As usual lets hope I'm wrong and we can all play this thing online together without having to learn yet another language.

The Drunken Dishwasher · **Reply #136 on:** January 14, 2011, 12:55:44 AM

That news from that site sounds like an overreaction to a simple response from an email by Nintendo.

This makes me sound like i'm in denial, but...that's how it feels to me. Just take it w/ a grain of salt. Last Story isn't out yet in Japan. (not until the 27th anyways)

Somewhere in the back of my head though, I think Nintendo wants to save Last Story, Xenoblade (and dare I also say Dragon Quest X) as announcements for E3'11.
but I think that's just my miracle hope hoping.

It's also curious how Mistwalker's twitter page posts bits of game info in english, but twitter might have an auto-translation system, so I dunno.

The Blind Archer · **Reply #137 on:** January 14, 2011, 07:01:35 AM

Can't say I'm surprised. The only Wii games that sell en mass on this side of thia side of the Pacific are Nintendo's triple-A franchises and minigame compilations.

For the time being, interest lost. I ain't gonna bother with it unless a proper localization's done.

VixyNyan · **Reply #138 on:** April 08, 2011, 02:16:27 AM

Localization confirmed~?

Ohohoho

That would be fan-frickin-tastic.

Here's hoping.

Hope well invested!

I shall preorder!

Acid · **Reply #141 on:** February 12, 2012, 06:33:36 PM

Oh yeah, this game had some sort of online-play feature.

So I hope to see some of you online.

Posted on: 10-12-2011, 16:32:29

Not even two weeks to the euro release!

Also apparently all characters were renamed.

Erza is now Zael,

Quark is now Dagran

for example.

See here

The Drunken Dishwasher · **Reply #142 on:** February 13, 2012, 01:07:47 AM

Sadly so...some changes are odd but others, like Syrenne replacing Seiren is not too bad.

It is odd nonetheless.

That reminds me, one dude/dudette compiled the voice clips from the UK site into one vid

Syrenne gets a scottish accent of sorts.

The Last Story is being published in North America…by Xseed. Nintendo of America just announced the game during their Nintendo Direct presentation.

Surprised? Maybe this isn’t as much of a surprise as you think. Xseed is owned by Marvelous AQL. AQ Interactive, before they merged with Marvelous, owned Artoon, the developer that worked on The Last Story with Nintendo and Mistwalker. Artoon was later absorbed into the company.

The Last Story will be published in North America later this year. Europe gets it on February 24th.

On a related note, Xenoblade's NA release has been confirmed as April 6th.

The Drunken Dishwasher · **Reply #144 on:** February 23, 2012, 07:03:09 PM

Aw geez and my EU preorder just shipped too.

Still, I am VERY happy for the ones that waited for a NA release

added:

I swear the humor in this game is just glorious~
