    I wouldn't worry too much. I think Nintendo thought this game would bomb but demand has far outstripped supply with some stores not being able to meet pre-order demand. Nintendo will definitely reprint it but it looks like they've been caught with their pants down.

    I'm just under 20 hours into the game, and in Makna Forest at the moment. Really enjoying it so far. Some great moments (
    last Xord fight was great
    ). Some of the story is a bit all over the place, and the constant talking from my party members can get annoying at times, but overall it's really good.

    2 things that really bug me though. Terrible map, with an equally bad journal. And every bloody time i take a side quest i get a brief convo between the party members about how great we are. There's like a million sidequests!

    I'm over 40 hours into it and still haven't reached Makna Forest.

    I'd have liked it if the game had a beastiery.

    Didn't take too long iirc. The 1st time all you need to do is survive a minute. The 2nd, i just kept whacking at him and he went down pretty easily. Not too sure how long it took though.

    Damn, and i thought i was taking my time. Might spend some time
    rebuilding Colony 6
    but finding some of the items is bloody impossible.

    And yeah, a bestiary would be very handy

    I'm about 37 hours in and level 48 now. A couple of things that are annoying / confusing me.

    When you collect an item that is supposed to be for a certain person, is there any way of seeing who's it for afterwards? Or tell you where this person might be?

    Also, do the shops that sell the power book add ons all sell the same books or are each of them dotted around the place selling different ones? If so, any way of finding out where they are etc?

    For hard fights, I'm usually having to revert back to Reyn and Sharla in the party, these are the most balanced but for blasting through normal mobs, Dunban and Melia are the best. Just can't get into using Riki at all. :rolleyes:

    I've got side-quest fatigue at the moment. There are a stupidly amount of them in most area's. I think i'll just do the Colony 6 quests, and then any other that i happen across. Will never clear the game otherwise.

    This is just simply the best game i have played in years :)

    Level 38 (about 20 hours in i think), and just completed the Tomb.

    I have mainly stuck to the primary story as I am dying to know "what happens next" :).. but I will definately be heading back to do many of the side quests.

    I've always loved monolith soft games and this game doesn't disappoint. There's so much to explore,see,a lot of variety and the maps are huge. Graphics aren't the greatest but the environments are done so well that it doesn't matter. Music is awesome, kinda reminds me of wild arms in some parts.

    lol I had the same issue.. Every boss has been pretty easily beatable.. but those guys were a pain in the behind.. To save time on levelling I
    Pulled them to the ramp, killed one, then when I was in difficulty, ported out.. healed up then ported back in.. managed to kill the other 3 easily enough then.

    Played a ton of it this weekend, and still loving it. I kind of got sick of side quests yesterday afternoon, and just blew through the last few zones. I'll go back and do some sidequests in a bit, but i'm just enjoying the story too much at the moment. Currently lvl53, and about 35 hours in.
    Just got through Valek Mountains and Sword Valley. Hated Valek. It looks great, but i hate snow levels. I'll go back when i've a few extra levels and see what i've missed. Sword Valley is cool though. Always prefer fighting Mechon to random wolves and ****. In Galihad(or whatever it's calleds) fortress now. The story is really bloody good. Dying to find out what happens.

    Any word on a new production run for this game yet?

    I went into Game on Saturday to see if they had stock in. It was back on the regular shelves (and the "Coming Soon" stickers were taken off the boxes) so I thought great - about time. Took it to the register and the guy said sorry - still no stock.

    Take it off the bloody shelves then! (Or put the coming soon/out of stock stickers back on the box). Jesus....

    Played about 2 hours last night. I'm impressed so far. wiimote and nunchuck is an awful way to play it though. I'm gonna have to get a lend of a classic controller before I play any more.

    Not sure how it was yesterday, but there are now only copies through 3rd parties who are charging a £20 premium on top of Amazon's price.

    It has been 'Shipping in 1-2 weeks' on play.com for a while now (i.e. out of stock and we haven't a clue when it's coming back) and shopto have it on preorder status.a

    Ah it'll turn up eventually. Hopefully. I've been looking for Klonoa for the Wii for a long time now (it seems to have gotten one or two small runs around launch and none since). I hope this isn't going the same way...

    It's cheap enough on ebay. Try the ebay.fr and ebay.de sites or just get the american version.
