The person who made this game (Noogy) was also working on a feature-length animated film a while ago, incidentally also called "Elysian Tail".
I'm not sure why he stopped working on it, but I believe this game is the answer. Those of you on the fence: give this game a shot, if not for the gameplay, the gorgeous art and support toward a courageous and dedicated game designer.

My body is ready
So were Castle Crashers and Alan Wake for their 360 releases. It took about two years for each of those to come out on other things, but it's possible. We'll just have to see what happens.
Alan Wake didn't come out on PS3. Only on Windows. I'm not sure if Castle Crashers was published by Microsoft, but we'll see.
Hot damn. Let's do this.
Let's do this!
All threads have this shit now. I don't know if it's because there's not as many exclusives as their used to be or what, but if the game's only coming out on PS3, someone will say 'man, i know why, but i wish it would show up somewhere else', if it's only showing up on the consoles, 'man, i'd love to see this on steam' or if it's on pc/consoles 'i'd love a vita version' and so on
It seems way too close to port begging.

I thought actually specifically addressing the issue in the OP would be enough, but apparently not :lol

Been craving this game since I first laid eyes on it. Reminds me of Muramassa which is a great thing.

Yeah I'll be picking this up day one as well. The animation alone is so impressive and inspiring. It's really motivating to know that pretty much one person made this.

Looks great, want this on Steam/PSN too!
MS is the publisher...

Looks amazing. I've been following this game for a while and glad to see it is finally getting released. I'll have to dust off the 360 for this.

Day 1. I dont even remember how many years I have been waiting for this game.

Hoping this does well for Noogy. I want to see him succeed -- and maybe even make another game if he wants!
I think MS more or less funded this game with that indie fund that Noogy won. I wouldn't expect to see it anywhere else.

Congratulations Dean! May you enjoy success and lots of hours of rest.
Ahhh, the Dust shall settle soon!
This is just another great part of what's been a great XBLA year, overall. It's really impressive to see what Dust has grown into, considering the bar of XBLA games was a bit lower, when we first learned of this game. The fact it could be in development so long, and still seem so unique and relevant, is quite impressive!
This and Hybrid will be the only 2 SOA games I REALLY care about this year, and it's been a long wait, haha. But I'll actually stop playing Persona 4: Arena, to give this game the time and love it deserves!

Whoa I can't believe it, I was on love with this game when I first saw the trailer and now it looks like I can finally play it! 
And the OT is nice as well, good job! One question though, is the 15th a worldwide release or am I screwed for being in the EU?

Whooo thanks for confirming I can get this!
I was a bit worried as Wikipedia had it listed as NA but I learned to take everything there with a load of salt. So yeah no matter how much it is, day 1!edgardavids

But are there towns?
I love how the attacks toss the enemies around like they're being buffeted by winds.
I'd like to point out that Castle Crashers, Braid, Monday Night Combat, LIMBO, and Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet were all published by Microsoft for Summer of Arcade events and all got releases on other platforms, so "published by Microsoft" does not mean "contractually exclusive forever".

We see at least 1 town in the Play XBLA Twitch Stream. With fully voiced locals and everything!

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Haven't turned on my 360 in months and haven't bought an XBLA game in even longer... but this will change that. Game looks so, so good... both visually and in terms of gameplay.
HD towns. Well, at least 1.
The game was made with XNA so I don't know about about a PS3 version.
Yea, at one point release exclusivity was probably part of agreements, but I wouldn't be surprised if things have changed as the market for downloadable games has gotten more competitive. In any case, this game has been in development as an XBLA game for years now and I'll be getting it day one.

Can't wait to play this. Been following for a long time.
Read up on how this game was made, and you'll see it's pretty unlikely it will be ported anytime soon.
And none of those games actually had Microsoft Game Studios before the title. There is a difference. The only other platform Microsoft Game Studio titles have hit have been Windows/Steam. Now I have no idea if this game has it before the title but I was just correcting what you said.

Nice OT.
Day one! Summer of Arcade will be saved.

Don't you have a 360? so why don't you just buy the game and stop the port begging?
Game is 720p @ 60fps confirmed by Noogy on the XBLA thread.
BTW very good work on the OP and of course the game is day one, can't wait to finally play the game.

This looks hand drawn but it's 2.5D, right? It looks amazing. The animation is so smooth.
Beautiful.
