Support NeoGAF

[reriel]

For now, we know there are 3 jrpg in development for xbox 360 : Lost Odyssey/Blue Dragon of mistwalker, and eNCHANT Arm of from software.
I wonder if we see others jrpg on the japan xbox summit (25 july).
What's the more probably ? atlus, gaia, namco o maybe square enix ? rumors ?

 

[Nightbringer]

I believe that the number of jrpg will be directly relationed with the number of sales that the Mistwalker games will sell in Japan.

Yeah hopefully some other japanese third party developers also have some RPG projects for Xbox 360. Heck, be it RPG or any other type of games, I want to see a better japanese support for Xbox 360

You forgot FF11 and that other yet unamed project by SquareEnix.

True Fantasy Live Online (MGS/Level 5)

I thought level 5 was going to be a PS3 only.

Personally, I think Microsoft Japan should try and court the underdog RPG publishers. Getting stuff from companies like Falcom, Game Arts and Red would go a long way towards establishing Xbox 360 as the "hardcore machine". They're never going to have a PlayStation beating machine in Japan so they should shoot for the secondary hardcore niche (like PC Engine or Saturn).

Er, where was this said?

 

[Straightballin]

Maruyama talks about the importance of JRPGs for 360 in this interview, but he indicates we won't see many for awhile.

We don't need Japan. Jrpgs rarely break the top 10 sales charts in the US anyway...

Neither do western RPGs for that matter.

I've thought that they were overextending themselves on that front too, but it's all for the best I'd gather

^^^

I think Obsidian will be a breakout hit

 

[BioFan]

Rumored
-new title (Capcom) MMORPG

I want to see a next gen Monster Hunter MMO...

Not even KOTOR, Jade Empire. Morrowind and Fable?
