That's good news for sure. However I believe they need to start showing it rather than talking about it.

What you and snesboy said, but I know for sure that it looks like microsoft abandoned the eastern demographic core (the demographic that I strongly fall under), since it doesn't look like any JRPG is coming to them, and Ace Combat is now becoming westernized. 

Can you blame them? The sales in Japan are abysmal. And most JRPGs, FFXIII excluded struggle to break a million. Besides didn't they have a contract of sorts for 3 exclusive JRPGs from some developer, but I think all 3 of those are out now. Not much Japanese love left!

That's Mistwalker you're thinking of, and no, only two games have released so far. There was a third game in development that got scrapped (though I'm not sure if it's published by AQ Interactive or Microsoft themselves).

Yeah that's the ones, and yeah I heard that they scrapped the last game, just wasn't too sure if they've already made two or three games. 

I think it was published by Microsoft, not sure if that was the one, but I think Lost Odyssey had the usual "Microsoft" entry screen that you get on the exclusives, the whole green and white background thingy with MICROSOFT appearing in the middle.
