Someone help... I got this for christmas (Even though I asked for the last story), And I'm not sure if I should play it on my Wii U or not... My grandma said she bought this instead of TLS because the guy at gamestop said this was better, but I'm not sure... Should I play this?

They're both different types of RPG's. This one is a blast and so is TLS. I'd say play it. It's lots of fun and is very long. Main story is probably 40 hours minimum if you are a speed demon.

try it, TheDreamingHawk, and if you don't like it, trade it in against TLS.

All right... I'll give it a shot next week when I have time. I just don't wanna start a game with bad music or with a 120 hour story or anything. Hoping it's as great as Ys and PMD

Xenoblade has excellent music, but if you're looking for a short game, it's not gonna be for you. my file was just shy of 100 hours when i beat the game, and i don't think i did but half of the sidequest-y stuff.

TLS is a little on the more sane side of gameplay time just saying. They are both great games and I enjoyed playing both. Xeno is definitely worth giving a chance.

@TheDreamingHawk I'd hold onto Xenoblade. It's worth more now and you could also pick up The Last Story later. One Major difference that deserves mentioning is Xenoblade is much harder than The Last Story. You'll find yourself grinding a lot and wasting loads of time trying to figure out the crafting system of the game in order to topple(get it?) bosses.

True dat.

Also true. I stopped doing all the side quests in Makna Forest because it had been 35 hours and I felt like I hadn't moved anywhere with the main story. When I hit 80hrs I just wanted the game to be over already. Too much of a good thing.

Well I had been looking at the local used copy at my Gamestop for some time and I went in a few days ago because I was next to it and held the game in my hands. Of course at the time I was short on money and knew I would be able to get it this weekend. I go in today and you know what they had sold it :(
So now this puts me in a rough position. There is a single new copy 30 miles away from where I live, but I have no clue when I'll get the chance to go up there seeing as I'm awkwardly in the permit phase of driving so I still have to rely on my parents to go places. To make matters worse there are a total of 4 copies in Gamestop's registry in the State right now. Xenoblade was something I just wanted to own to experience, but I didn't know how much I would like it. The question is though how high of a priority is getting a copy of it?...

About as high as getting a video game can be a priority.

If I can't get a copy from a Gamestop is it worth paying for a stupid overpriced copy on Ebay/Amazon?

I would say yes but just wait a bit longer and see if you can get it again from GameStop.

As in a used copy? I really doubt the possibility of that. Isn't the initial print of the game done so new copies aren't being made anymore, so used is my only hope and they're getting harder and harder to find :(

Yeah used. As annoying as it might be you can call on a daily basis and see if they have a copy. I would say it shouldn't take more then a month to get one that way! If you have to play it that bad and it is a great game then fork over the extra money or just sit back and wait a bit longer. Check other places as well. I'm not sure if Best Buy would have it used or not but you could also try them to see if they would even buy it back.

Waiting longer could cause the price to go up. But I'd suggest not going above $60 online, odds are you can find a deal. :)

I'd say that a game with THIS much content is worth the money.

Yeah I doubt that of the three sites I can find the game on the cheapest is Gamestop which I'm going to hold out on until the end of the month. At which point if I can't have any luck then I turn to Amazon and Ebay and they aren't going to offer very many deals on the game...

@TBD: I know which is the frustrating part. I know of a copy that happens to exist along a route that my Grandparents will travel at some point this month, so that's where my last hope lies. It's in a fairly remote location actually so I'm crossing my fingers on getting the game.

I bought this game a couple of months ago, but just got around to playing it the other day and all I can say is "OMG, why did I wait so long to play this game?" Granted, I'm only about 10 hours in right now, but I have been absolutely engrossed every minute so far. The story, while nothing revolutionary thus far, is just done so well that it really grips you. And the gameplay is absolutely addicting. I generally don't like games that take 40+ hours to beat, so I don't know if I'll stick this one out to the end, but if all 80+ hours are as good as the first 10 then I might be able to do it. It's a great game. Anybody who is still sitting on the fence and unsure about this game would be doing themselves a huge favor by just giving in and playing this game.

EDIT: spelling
