These Japanese games are really wearing on me. I guess its great for those who like them, but they all look the same.

How about the European market. It is bigger than Japan, I don't know why there is all the concern over Japan, and why MS is catering, and smooching up to them so much.

Maybe I'm just too old. I don't get the anime, pokemon thing either.

Give me my Ubisoft games.

This is not RPG, it's basically card game with monopoly-like boards.

I wish more Japanese developers would use real-time lighting and shadowing system. Using just textures and polygons makes this game look very similar to Dragon Quest VIII and Rogue Galaxy.

Yep, and if the PS2 version is anything to go on it's a completely badass game.

Has anyone seen the ps2 Culdcept? It looked like a ps1 game. I think this game looks great considering that.

Because Japanese games do extremely well in Europe..

Mixing Cell shaded graphics and HDR lighting would look messy and unconvincing, Cell shaded graphics are supposed to look like comics/cartoons which have flat shaded textures and over exagerated lighting.

I don't like the board style gameplay but the battle grounds look fairly good.

People should realise that Japan like their anime style graphics, and even though the 360 is capable of next gen shader features doesn't mean they have to be used in all games.

Alot of Japanese developers are so far behind. I remember the times when a video game wasn't developed in Japan, it would be considered as mediocre. Now it's just the opposite. The game seriously looks flat.

I'm not talking about HDR. Just real-time lighting and shadowing in general. It would make the cell-shading look closer to CG cell-shading.

Yup you gota love appleseed ..

I should image it would take a lot of art resources to pull that off in a game though..

And yea i see what you mean by the Rogue Galaxy pics..

You have the PS2 to blame here whilst the west was getting it's hand dirty with programmable shaders, Japanese dev's were still using vector based graphics engines, it will be a while before japanese dev's catch up.

Will be interesting to see how much better Frame City is looking now, if at all ...

Well,basically dev just came from ps2 graphic engines that they dev,and what they do is that they upgrade their own engine a bit,but thats all.
Companies as square-enix doesnt,and thats why ff7 tech demo looks like it does.

I hate it when people trash i game they nevered played and THE reason MS wants the 360 to do great in Japan is that if it does great over there more 3rd party companys will bring there games over overseas to the USA and etc. Look at the xbox it didnt have alot of japan support ( thank god for temco ) MS doesnt want to repeat it with the 360 so be happy when any game from japan hits the 360 mainly RPGs
