I'm all for censorship and cuts that wind up weeaboos and Loli lovers.
Still on the fence about this as I'm not sure about the combat. Though looking at what Merlin said above I'll probably go for it and give it a shot. Shame I won't be able to play it until Christmas though as I go away on the 3rd.
I agree on that first point, I personally don't know what exactly is being censored in Xenoblade, but if it's anything like BD, then it's unnecessary. That game didn't exactly have skimpy outfits like most Japanese anime BS, rather there was one outfit that looked like bands, exposing a bit of skin where the bands didn't wrap at the sides. Trust me, it's not anything off-putting, I for one loath pointless pervy nonsense (thus I generally hate anime as a whole, despite the good ones like Full Metal Alchemist).
As for Xenoblade WiiU not being as good as previous games? Meh, at least I saved £20 on the collector's edition. I barely play most of my games anyway. For example, I haven't touched Pikmin 3 since release. I'll give it a go, but in the worst case scenario... at least that's more time to play Just Cause 3.
Oh and here's some rare news for Nintendo. For upcoming Black Friday, game.co.uk have got some crazy deals for Bayonetta 2, just £16 for the normal game or £25 for the special edition (the same but includes Bayonetta 1). Thing is... I'm not interested in those spectacle fighter type games, I tried God of WAr on PS3 and it wasn't my jam. But I'm sure other folks might be interested. I'll post this info in the deals thread too.
