The first cover is gorgeous.

I like the fourth one.

Lithium · « **Reply #328 on:** February 07, 2012, 01:05:13 AM »

first one for sure

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #329 on:** February 07, 2012, 01:07:48 AM »

I think the fourth is the best.

ejamer · « **Reply #330 on:** February 07, 2012, 09:14:46 AM »

Tough choice since they all look good, but I prefer option #3. It's the least spoiler-ish and just a sweet looking cover for the game.

Interesting to note that the European choice for an alternative cover isn't even an option here.

Fatty The Hutt · « **Reply #331 on:** February 07, 2012, 01:06:34 PM »

Fourth one, definitely.

xcwarrior · « **Reply #332 on:** February 15, 2012, 07:45:09 AM »

I prefer the first one, but has anyone else noticed that the Nintendo store says they won't ship this game until the end of April, even though it's coming at Gamestop on April 6?

Interesting note:

The April 2nd release date for North America might not correct. Looking at the preorder page on the Nintendo online store (either Canada or US), you see this note prominently displayed:

"We expect to begin by the end of April 2012. A confirmation email will be sent when your order ships."

They don't specify what will begin by the end of April, but if it's not talking about shipping dates then I don't know what the message is there for. Maybe GameStop gets the game early, maybe this message is just giving Nintendo a buffer in case anything goes wrong between now and then.

Yep. Someone noticed.

I think the Nintendo store was just being cautious about the release date and will ship at the same time as GameStop gets the game. There was an announcement or email or something suggesting that was the case at least, and the release date was already changed slightly from what was originally planned.

Yeah, that notice, along with them charging both tax and shipping, are the reasons I have opted to pre-order from GameStop w/store pickup instead.

I'm kind of miffed about GameStop. Was planning to do a "Trade 2" deal to preorder Xenoblade a couple weeks back, but their available deals changed and Xenoblade isn't available that way now. Not sure if I want to actually pay for the game again (since I already imported) so am waiting and hoping that another trade opportunity comes up between now and release. The good news is that there is plenty of time for a deal to be offered... hopefully the value of games I was going to trade doesn't bottom out in that time.

I'll still be ordering with nintendo instead of gamestop/eb. Mainly because im scrambling to finish my backlog before it comes out so it'll buy me some extra time haha.

So I am checking OPRainfall's Facebook page right now and I came across something it seems that Nintendo Power will be covering Xenoblade Chronicles in their March issue. I really have to get another subscription again soon but I'll pick up the issue if I see it on news stands. My sis has a camera and I can upload it to my photobucket account so yeah.

Just upload your sis to photobucket, no one cares about RPGs.

Too bad there is no soundtrack. An artbook is cool and all, but the music in Xenoblade is fantastic. Maybe a Club Nintendo reward down the road if we are really lucky?

Here is the thing with preorder bonuses unless you do one of those "super duper include everything and the kitchen sink" preorder bonuses then not everyone is going to be happy with the bonuses since everyone is going to have different choices. I would imagine that the artbook was the most popular choice so that's what they went with.

Someone got the pictures posted up on Facebook first so these are those pictures. I'll link them and put them in the thread here.
I think I know the guy that uploaded the pictures online.

I guess I will start dropping these tidbits of the day here that OPRainfall has been posting on their site for a long while. So here goes.

☆ Xenoblade Chronicles Tidbit of the Day #35 ☆╮

Live Quests. On very rare occasions in Xenoblade, you might stumble upon a live occurring quest while exploring the world. What this means is that if you are at the right place, at the right time, in the right conditions, you might trigger a quest. It will pop up and tell you the details and has to do with a situation occurring close by such as you have to save somebody being attacked by a monster. These appear to be quite rare but none the less, are a nice touch.

Dasmos · « **Reply #347 on:** February 27, 2012, 02:07:43 AM »

Fortunately the game has been out in English speaking countries for a while now. So all of these tidbits have will also have been known about for a while.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #348 on:** February 28, 2012, 05:01:35 AM »

I guess so.

For those in Canada that may want to switch preorders from Nintendo to Gamestop or if you have one with Gamestop and you are in that country Canada is also offering the artbook as well.

Just tweeted by @gamestopcanada
@ImDaveSchofield @ytchung Yes, we will be offering the Art Book with pre-orders of Xenoblade Chronicles
