Title: New details on Infinite Undiscovery: Square-Enix/MS co-production
Post by: Mr. Gundam on September 12, 2007, 02:10:41 AM: Tri-Ace developed, SE/MS co-production. Glad to hear that the game didn't suffer a similar fate to True Fantasy Online.

This also probably confirms Star Ocean 4 being on the PS3, since you'd think MS would've announced it today if they had it.

Then when IU bombs, mostly because of its mediocre quality, they'll just pat themselves on the shoulders for not realeasing FF on the 360 because they "proved" that 360 gamers don't buy Japanese games.

So after IU, the Square-Enix guy comes back out for another surprise announcement... they show off Last Remnant. It's cool that the 360 is getting two offline SE titles, but we already knew about both of them.

I didn't say they'd sell 360's in Japan, but compared to the original Xbox, it's pretty impressive.

That's not saying much.
Xbox got FF11.
