Very intresting even tho graphic is lacking but hey im not graphic horny :P
If these rpgs deliver then i won't have a reason for buying the ps3!
The trees look fairly realistic to me--I like the style.

I tought these images were released even before E3 ? But yeah on the visual side it could use some work but people who have played the earlier Culdcept games seem to make a strong point that graphics are definetly not the most important part in the series.
I hoped this was a normal turn based JRPG, I know disegea is a hit and all, and that could be a reason why the board style approach..but xbox360 needs more JRPGS!! enchanted arm isn't enough!! come on microsoft!! i can't play fps shooters and oblivion all the time!

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.
I don't understand the gist of the game- but the Art Direction (style) sucks. The graphics are craptacular. I mean- If you want realistic 'plastic' looking models- then go for it with stunning reality. If you want 'water color' looking style... then go for it. This looks like PS2 graphics with NO bump mapping, NO complex models... they're barbaric. This sort of game actually being released looks BAD for the 360.

All I know looking at this game is that once again the japanese companies that stood along playstation all of these years are jst playing with Xbox360 and that can only harm the console... Blah, Blah, Blah, ...japanese games is like haveing NONE!
To say that fans of Culdcept take the game very seriously would be an understatement of large proportions; and while we can never condone the more violent acts of its disappointed protagonists we can certainly understand why they're so dedicated in the first place -- as Culdcept is incredibly fun, deceptively deep, and always entertaining.
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.
You mean us fans are DREAMING that Square-Enix are even considering making a FF13 spin off... we all know it's not happening otherwise they would of said something at their E3 conference... Chances of it happening are super low we're talking less then 5%.....
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.
Cry on is also one of the top JRPGs that is coming.. and the FF13 spin off is FF versus or something i believe, i thought that was a ps3 exclusive..but anyway i know those games will come out over the next 2 years.. it's just that Enchant arms is being released towards the end of August, and it would take another long time for another one. I tried my best to enjoy Oblivion, the art direction menu screen and old knights like tale just was hard to like
The english version of Far East of Eden should be out toward the end of this year also.
I hope this is a good game, there is a fine line between fun and boredom with card based games.
Tis true. This game visually looks like garbage, but it could be damned fun. The first was supposed to be really good, so lets hope it stays that way or gets better.
