Square Enix has updated the official Project Sylpheed page with new images and infos. In this update we get 6 ships, 2 new characters and a few images from two concurrent factions.
I actually really want this game to do well, because its the first and probably the only original Square Enix game we'll get... what does or doesn't get ported over from the PS3 probably depends on the success of their other "test" franchises, to see if there is an audience within the X360 consumer base. Or maybe I'm totally off, who knows.
It's a test i think, squarenix is seeing if it's worth it to release a high profile game for the console. Right of now, xbox360 is doing worse than the xbox in japan..so making a power game like FF with huge production costs, CG scenes, musical score and expense might not guarentee a return in profit.
This is good though..it's a start, atleast they are showing their support and if the xbox360 becomes more popular in japan..we would see a FF or vagrant story 2 (wouldn't that be awesome?)
I'm tired of Square using the X360 as a test machine for low risk titles. At one time the Japanese claimed that the installed base of a console determined their development support. Well, they can shove that excuse somewhere else, because the X360 is the fastest selling console in history. The same goes for Konami (MGS4). They'll probably port it over to the X360 once they stop milking the cow for the PS3. By that time, no one will care. Just the same as nobody cared about Final FantasyXI. It was a pure insult. When the developers realize that they're losing money on exclusive titles to the PS3's ridiculous price, let's see where Final Fantasy XIII sits then. Just look at that useless low rez cgi. I'm a huge fan of Robotech and it's clear that this title is inspired by the series. Look at the captain, the girls' uniforms and the space fleet.

Square Enyx need to take a much more global view like capcom are doing with dead rising and lost planet
a wel developed title could sell very well outside of japan, after all even by sonys figure the asian market is the smallest when compared to US and Europe
This game is the predessor to one of my favorite shooter series Silpheed, which came out on the Sega CD. Gamearts was a big supporter of the sega back in those days and made qood qualty games (Luner, Luner2, Popful Mail). So I am hoping the game good and has good sale so they can make a Luner game for the 360 and that would rock.
