    Hurrah!

    With this, Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey it seems that strangely the 360 is the best place for japanese RPGs. Square Enix can shove off with their sub standard tosh they keep throwing out these days.

    Gonna set up a Jap account so I can see Eternal Sonata. it looks gorgeous from the trailers I've seen! Happy days!

    EDIT: It's called 'Trusty Bell' in Japan, just in case anyone had trouble finding it (like i did!)

    Double Edit: Wow. Wow. Wow. Whoever the artist is on this game, he/she is incredible! Can't wait for this game!

    Aha! I saw the cover of that in the Japanese charts and thought it looked like the oddest game cover Id ever seen, and was wondering why Id never heard of it. Must also start a Japanese account to check this baby out. You need another hotmail account right?
    Oh and agree with Retr0 - it is extremely odd that at the moment the 360 - the most Western of all consoles - is the place to go for for the more obscure Japanese exports. The fact that stuff like this, Blue Dragon and even EDF are appearing is a terrific trend.

    YOu don't need a hotmail account, any e-mail account will do.
    Do it, it's so worth it!

    Demo as I understand it.
    *goes off to set up Japanese account*
    EDIT: What the hell? How did I reply in the past? *confusion*

    I'm scared.

    No it's a full demo, you even have a boss fight at the end.

    Boy the Japanese servers are vastly superior. Took around 20 mins to download the 500+MB demo - that would take at least an hour on European Live.
    Yet to play though.. will give it a whirl tonight.

    EDIT: Played through it there and have to say it is the nicest looking Xbox game Ive played, artisitically anyway. Didn't defeat the hog so have to give it another go, but good demo. The game world felt a bit small and linear, but hey, its only a demo. Such things cannot be judged until one plays the real thing.
