The Last Story vs Xenoblade vs Arc Rise Fantasia

[KentaRawr!]

We have one for two big Wii platformers, so let's do it for three big Wii RPGs. :p

If you had to choose one of these three games to get, which would you choose? For comparison, here's a trailer for each game.

The Last Story (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDJ5eMkHkj4)

or

Xenoblade (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wETapcIo9s&feature=related)

or

Arc Rise Fantasia (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_aHuBWjf30)

Of the three games you listed, i'm choosing Arc Rise Fantasia because of how similar it resembles the Tales of games. :) Though, I think it has an unfair advantage over the other two because it's already been released in Japan and has a release date of July 20, 2010 in the US, meanwhile the other two are yet to be determined.

Xenoblade, mostly cause I know Monolith Soft is good for it and between the three it looks the most interesting (the world is the corpse of a two dueling gods? Hell yeah!) and despite the director's promise of making the game more... well focused on the game than the cutscenes *cough*Xenosaga*cough* I still feel it will have a pretty rocking plot since its mostly the Saga Eps. 1 writers.

Last Story is the other title I'm excited for cause its been coming along nicely and reading Sakeguchi's blog, you can tell Mistwalker put a lot of love into this game. I'm liking the blend of stealth elements and what appears to be the ability to move around the environment in battle. Its got an action RPG feel but luckily it seems to be missing the whole "juggling aspect" that's overused in the genre (and even just RPGs in general).

Arc Rise Fantasia doesn't appeal to me as much as the other two but still looks pretty good, even if the character designs do look like Code Geass with a fantasy twist. Though I can't tell if its an action game or turn based. It feels more reminiscent of the Super Taisen games.

Arc Rise Fantasia doesn't appeal to me as much as the other two but still looks pretty good, even if the character designs do look like Eureka Seven/Overman King Gainer with a fantasy twist.

Fixed for accuracy (Arc's artist is the same as those anime).

Arc's localization has already gotten some heat from people who were looking forward to the game at some point ('Baten Kaitos'-bad voice acting (but not 'Chaos Wars'-bad) seen in trailers (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2f8yEoGPyQ8), etc) and the company publishing it in the US already has a reputation for keeping spelling errors and stuff. E3 previews have said that you can turn off the voices though, so that might fix that 'major' problem.

I will be getting all three.

The Last Story looks like it will be pretty awesome. The more revealed the more I like it.

Xenoblade also has high hopes in my eyes.

Arc Rise Fantasia... while many people are complaining about the localization, the core gameplay will be the same, and I hear that it's really quite good.

If I had to choose 1... which is kinda funny cause they will be released at very different times.... I'd need to see more about Xenoblade and The Last Story. But since I've been starting to enjoy action games as well as RPG's, the mix of the two being my favorite... well I'm leaning towards The Last Story being my choice, with the trailer.
