Special Wrap-Up: Operation Rainfall Edition

It’s been quite the week for us at Operation Rainfall. I mean, Pandora’s Tower was announced for a North American localization thanks to XSEED! In light of this wonderful news, the Operation Rainfall Retro Commercial Research Team (in other words, me) will be doing something a bit different with this week’s wrap-up. To celebrate how far we’ve come, here are commercials from Xenoblade Chronicles, The Last Story, and Pandora’s Tower.
