Topic: Xseed Bringing The Last Story to North America

The big question remaining is whether Operation Rainfall has been sucessful and should cease opertions today with just these few titles or should we still support Pandora's Tower despite the likelyhood of it appearing in North America being a whole lot slimmer than the other games? Honestly, despite all the draw backs pertaining to Pandora's Tower, I still want that game in my collection, but without the trouble of importing it.

I can already answer that Kytim. They are not going to stop with these two titles. They posted on their Facebook I believe that they are going to working on getting as much exposure and make sure Xenoblade and The Last Story sell well and then focus on Pandora's Tower. I'm quite excited for Pandora's Tower just because of the combat system.

Yeah, my mistake.  It only looks like an N64 game, much like Animal Crossing.

I think the Xseed side of this is likely the more interesting story. It's been a long time in coming. First they got in good with Namco Bandai with Retro Game Challenge, which enabled them to localize four Wii games and eventually Solatorobo. They used the NOE translation, which probably got them an in with Nintendo to do the same for The Last Story.

I have to say, I don't always think their taste in games to localize is spot on, but I know a lot of it is a matter of opportunity. They have to take what they can get.


If you go back and look at their history it does look much more deliberate though. They really worked with Namco Bandai a lot, and recently with NoE, as you noted, on a Namco Bandai game.


I'm happy for them. I hope this is a big success.

I mean, obviously they weren't planning several years ago to localize The Last Story, but when I talked to them back then, they said they didn't even know how to approach Nintendo (with respect to Mother 3). This was how.

I just want to note that this is great news and should be celebrated. People are just being downers just because they can. It really doesn't matter much why we are getting this. I mean can't we just not read to much into things and just play them?

This is the internet where people will complain about this news no matter what unless Reggie personally comes to their house with a free copy of The Last Story tonight, some high quality hookers and a truck full of weed.

I'd complain if I had to play 'The Last Story' in that situation.

All I can say is you assholes who took part in Op.Rain. better go out and buy it. I'm not a big fan of RPGs (though I've played many, I've only beaten one or two...I think), so don't expect me to foot the bill.
