Serenata Blues While it might not be FFXIII or SO4, 360 now has an exclusive Square RPG made by Tri-Ace. Something called Infinite UnDiscovery.
Unfortunately this means that the poor game is going to bomb in Japan. Even FFXI, which is really popular in Japan, bombed on 360. People actually pick up the PS2 version and PC versions over the 360 version. It'll probably bomb over here, too, since 90% of 360 owners don't look twice at anything that doesn't have guns or football in it. BURN! Stereotypes FTW!

Blue Dragon, Oblivion.... I heard Enchanted Arms or whatever was alright. Haven't looked too much into Eternal Sonata reviews/previews yet... but it looks good.

Add that to the incredible art direction and intriguing storyline and you've got yourself what should be a system seller. Something tells me the majority of the 360 user base will ignore it, though. Too colorful. Too bright. Too happy. About half of all 360 owners bought one for either Gears or Halo, so they're not going to go ga-ga over a traditional anime RPG.

I was really going through RPG withdraw before I got BD. I needed my fix and hooked my PS2 back up. xD
Anime RPG's have never been my favorite type, but BD is really good. It's fun. I'm looking forward to playing Sonata. For the battles and the game play. Despite being an RPG..... its story really doesn't set the world on fire. Graphics.... eh.... been there, done that.
I do agree with you about it being ignored/underrated. The 360 is a RPG killer.

HistoryWak Arvis_Jaggamar Ace Paladin Serenata Blues The stereotype only fits because there haven't been enough games to cater to that particular style of audience. Hell Eternal Sonata had that Only for Xbox 360 tag and yet ESRB has rated it for PS3 and 360. This game will probably either disappear thanks to Microsoft publishing, or go multiplat because Square says so.

Considering where your loyalties lie, I am not surprised. But I agree. It's too bad that it's the violent games that tend to sell. gonk @Ace: IMO Eternal Sonata is much much better than Blue Dragon. Have you played the demo? If not, prepare to be surprised.

If ES is better than BD, I'm excited then. biggrin
Sadly, I haven't played the demo. I moved my 360 when I moved rooms, so my 360 isn't in the same room as my router. I'm going to need one of those wireless-router-for-the-360.
$100 right in the a**. Amirite? Amirite?

True. xD
Well... you're better off. All you need is a wireless router.
I need to buy an adapter just so my 360 can run off my router. Unlike the 360, the Wii has Wifi.

Yeah, Nintendo and Sony both showed alot of foresight including standard wi-fi in their respective consoles. Want people to use your online functions? Make it as easy as possible on them. Not that M$ is ever going to have a lack of people using XBL.
