Square reveals new Infinite Undiscovery screens photo

While you may be less than enthused about the name of Square's upcoming Xbox 360 exclusive RPG Infinite Undiscovery, you may find a few new screens will do more to whet your appetite for a trip away from the Final Fantasy RPG universe. These screens were debuted at the recent Japan-only Xbox 360 RPG Premiere event, which also yielded new info on Tales of Vesperia and Star Ocean: The Last Hope.

Not too shabby news when it comes to RPG fans who have been waiting for news of more of their favorite genre on the 360! Head to the gallery to see the rest of the new screens, which will hopefully hold you until the release in North America on 9/2. I have to admit, I'm looking forward to all of these titles. What say you -- eyeing a certain one, all of them, or planning on passing?

The name IS slightly retarded but the game still looks pretty amazing. Looking forward to finally figuring out what the battle system is like.

This is really a 1 - 2 - 3 Punch for Sony right now: Infinite Undiscovery, Tales of Vesperia Special Edition xbox and Star Ocean for the 360 announced.

Final Fantasy 13 needs to sell better than GTA IV and Halo 3 combined to save the PS3 in japan. If the new FF bombs then they pretty much can call it a day in Japan.

Looks pretty. It'd be nice to have some gameplay or story details though- the lack of information with such a close date is a little disconcerting.

@pd771: Am I joking to think FF has been crap on FF8 X X-2 and 12? No those really suck. If you look at 12 then 13 might don't have record breaking sales, the kind of sales that made Sony a competitor in the first place back on FF7. The kind of sales that greatly helped the PS2 as well with X.

And right now they need a homerun hit badly. Doing just ok or great is not nearly enough for 13, it has to be record shattering. Im not sure it will be.

I kind of want all these games to be mediocre like Blue Dragon so I don't have to buy a 360 in addition to my PS3. PS2 is still so good for RPGs, I'm not sure what Sony is doing with the PS3.

I'm looking forward to Star Ocean mostly, but I'm kind of disappointed that it's going to be on the 360.

Wait, I thought Japan HATED XBOX360, what's with all these JRPG's? There's more here than on the PS3!!

@Misanthrope

In all honesty, it would take the divine intervention of Raptor Jesus, Xenu, and the Flying Spaghetti Monster combined to get the Xbox 360 to overtake the PS3 in Japan. It's just not going to happen.

I'm not sure about IU to be honest... the vids on XBL look OK, but better then LO? i dunno... guess we'll have to wait for the dtoid-review to find out :-D

I'm interested in seeing how IU does compared to FFXIII. If IU sells better than FFXIII, would Squeenix change their newly found focus on established IPs to working on breaking new ground?

The PS3 may be outselling the 360 by a large margin in Japan; but it's still selling there much slower than everywhere else.

That's why JPRG devs are focusing more on mainstream appeal JRPGs now & why they're releasing on the 360. Japan loves its handhelds; the home console just isn't as popular there as it used to be.

lets see how well PS3 sells after tomorrow :)

360 may get some JRPG love now, but I think tis a tad too late. More Jrpg players are on the PS than 360.

This whole thing confuses me, I thought most JRPGs just followed Final Fantasy wherever it went, especially when it's being done by Square-Enix. But it looks like I'm going to have to get a 360 to satisfy my JRPG needs. Especially Tri-Ace JRPGs, where I can easily spend over 100+ hours without getting the feeling that the game is too long.

I think M$ shelled out some mad cash to get all these RPGs on their console.

The PS3 doesn't have any relevant JRPgs to speak of.

That are out already, of course.

Wow. Those graphics look like FFXII with a little more detail. Then again most ngen games don't look that much better than a few last gen and Wii games.

Even if FF13 is out its still ONE game. It has to outdo Lost Odyssey, Tales of Vesperia, That new Star Ocean, Infinite Undiscovery, Eternal Sonata.

Now the Japanese console gamers can be as racist as they want but what are their going to do where there is at least 5 - 6 JRPGs out on the 360 vs 1 on the FF13?

They will have to forget their pride and side will bill gates.

Misanthrope: Eternal Sonata is (or will be?) on PS3. And there are other RPGs on PS3 besides FF13. I don't remember the names (I'm not a JRPG fan) but there's one tactical RPG out not long ago, another 2D one and White Knight Story off the top of my head.

JRPGs need a design enema....

Seriously, flush and start anew.It looks like every other JRPG in existence.
