Namco has via Japanese Watch released a bunch of images from their upcoming RPG/board game Culdcept Saga. The characters look really great, while the environments maybe needs some improvements.
Loakum @Driftwood Awesome! I’m loving it! It does show a much crisper picture and the frame rate looks good! I was playing Stella Blade and Dragonball Soarkling Blast! :) (4 Days ago)

Tri-Ace (the makers of Star Ocean) are making a game for 360.
Namco are supopsed to making a new Tales of game for 360.
Hudson are supposed to be making a new JRPG for the 360.
Square Enix are supposed to making a Final Fantasy 13 spin off for 360. (although I wouldn't hold your breathe on this one)
There is a pretty strong line up of JRPG titles coming to the 360 over the next 2 years.
Problem is people expect too much from JRPG's in terms of graphics it's never been their strong point, but if people decide not to get a game on it's looks they will miss out on some really good games, and stop any chance of continued Japanese support for the 360.
Gameplay
Let's just say from the outset that Culdcept is without a doubt the single greatest board game ever created for the console and PC medium. It's worlds better than any of those terrific Sierra ports of popular Parker Brothers tabletop games and most assuredly superior to titles created specifically for television sets (including but not limited to Catan, Hikaru no Go, and others). What makes Culdcept so particularly enthralling, though, is its immense ease of playability and difficulty to master. Play the game only a few times and you'll already have the tools necessary to take on tougher and more advanced players be they human or computer; play it for months, however, and you still won't be good enough to beat intermediate opponents each and every time out. Now that's replayability.
So dedicated and loyal is the game's fan base, that art books, strategy guides, and DVDs are sold and traded on the secondary market with as much brutality as Panzer Dragoon Saga and Suikoden II are on over here (luckily without the price hikes). Some player's obsessions have been so extreme, for instance, that one runner-up in a regional Culdcept tournament a few years back actually drew a revolver and shot almost a dozen people after losing a critical round in the finals. When's the last time you remember something like that happening in a friendly contest of Yu-Gi-Oh?

They take this VERY serious in japan and based on what they say the game is incredible. This game isn't too much about the graphics its all about the gameplay and alot of people really do think its the best board game ever created for a console or pc so i'm all over it.

But the amount of FPS and racing games are massive, i just wish xbox360 pumped out more action/adventure or RPG titles.. i know it's because FPS and Racing are the best for xbox live..it's the waiting i can't stand.
When a reporter asked Peter Moore about this he said that he was surprised that SE didn't announce anything for 360 because he was under the impression that they were working on siomething, maybe SE have had a change of heart, I wouldn't be over surprised to see something announced at TGS though.
The english version of Far East of Eden should be out toward the end of this year also.
