During a press conference that was held today in Japan Square Enix announced their plans to support Xbox 360 with at least one exclusive, and two timed exclusives for Microsoft's current generation platform.

Star Ocean 4: The Last Hope (Xbox's last hope in Japan?) will be a Xbox 360 exclusive. It will probably only be timed exclusive though as they already have Infinite Undiscovery.

The Last Remnant which was supposed to come out for both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 at the same time will be released on the Microsoft console this winter while the PlayStation 3 date is to be announced later.

So how much did Microsoft pay? No one knows but the games will probably have trouble selling more than 100,000 copies in Japan like pretty much all the other JRPGs that have been released exclusively for the Xbox 360.

@kweh: Yeah but it you look at the official site for SO4 then it says "For Xbox 360" and they dont mention the PS3. I still think that its going to be a timed exclusive

Wait, it says ONE is going to be an exclusive and that the other two will only be timed exclusives...And the assumption is that Infinite Undiscovery will be the exclusive...but wouldn't it be fairly easy and likely that Infinite Undiscovery would also come out for PC?? Could this mean that it is, in fact, Star Ocean V that will be the exclusive?!? Or perhaps the unknown third title...? Hmmmm...>_>

they need to just stop with so many action rpg's.I know that people like a little change but come on,Also making games exclusive for the 360?first off japan pretty much hates the 360,and second everybody already owns a ps2 or ps3.Third just let your former creator of final fantasy,that left and went to mistwalker handle the 360 rpg's? At least his are turn based.
