Anyone else find some of the text really hard to read in this game? For example the HP stats etc and some of the tutorial tips. Not sure if it is the font and size or that SD fuzz the wii sometimes gets on an LCD but I am finding this game is very much a lean forwards on the couch kind of experience.

I have a nice big(ish) TV so it's not hard to read at all. It's HD too and the game looks great

Cue component vs composite thread.

Mass Effect 2 was the same way. Some of the text in that game was hard for me to read.

How big is your TV?

Some LCD TVs make a lot of Wii visuals really bad, whether you've got composite or component. I borrowed a fairly cheap LCD recently when I was between TVs and my Wii games looked like shit. Xenoblade DOES have lots of little text. Annoying!

Are you using component or composite cables? And how big is your TV?

Most likely your tv isn't big enough.  If you have a tube tv. then that's your problem right there.   Flat screen tv's are the norm nowadays and it seems most companies are making their games for bigger tv. sets.

If you're actually stuck using that little yellow RCA cable to get your visuals and cannnot switch to something better, I feel quite sorry, but even with Xenoblade through RGB Scart on a CRT, solid non-bleeding beautiful colours, it had a fuzzy look to it by design that I could see getting in the way :|

I played Xenoblade on a small CRT with a scart cable, it was perfectly fine.

Well, that's pretty much the best way to play Wii games. Pure RGB signal on a crisp CRT.

I'm playing on this weird widescreen CRT with component cables- the game looks like garbage, but that's only because it's, ya know, a Wii game. The text seems fine.

I got the game on Tuesday, but have yet to really play it. I started it and some of the text is horrible. I've never had this problem on the Wii before, but I just can't play it the way it is. I do have a shit TV that has no component inputs. I play my Xbox and PS3 through my computer monitor(VGA for Xbox, HDMI for PS3). I have ordered this Wii to HDMI adapter thing, so I can hook the Wii up the same as I do my PS3. That should allow me to set the Wii to 480p instead of 480i, and hopefully will fix my problem with the text.
