This video, of Wii RPG Xenoblade Chronicles running in English, will be cause for both joy and consternation, depending on where you live.
For those in Europe, particularly the British Isles, joy, as you not only see the game with English text, but can hear the English voice-over work as well. And it is very English (it’s a great touch when the accents used go beyond “Imperial Officer” or “Medieval Person”).
For those in America, well, as of now you have no release date for the game. Though that may change!

Wednesday, June 29, 2011 at 9:20 PMThe accents and actors are great, it’s the dialogue that’s horrendous. I was able to make a delicious grilled cheese sandwich from the first battle scene alone.
