If potential sales were an issue they should have went multiplat, rather than throw away all the time and effort that's been put into the game thus far.

I think the lack of trailers, gameplay footage, and screenshots indicate that the game was never that far in development.

I'm really surprised at just how poorly they've fared on the DS. Away: Shuffle Dungeon's sales make me cringe every time.

Glad to hear the anime's doing well. I hope to get a chance to see it someday.

I thought Mistwalker was owned by Microsoft.

Not owned by, no. Micro$oft just helped them get $tarted up, and Mistwalker agreed to make (two, I think) games for the 360.

Sorry, I used a poor choice or words.  I know it's alive, but the point is, they did it to themselves.  They released a really kiddy looking game with a poor story and a game that actually had too much story.  That's not really a good choice of words either though.  They chose kind of a poor way to tell the story.  If it was at least voice acted it would have been better in lost odessey.

There was no more story in Lost Odyssey than the typical Final Fantasy game

JRPG's can be successful on Xbox 360 but they are not using the full potential of it.

many developers make a Xbox 360 game to later release teh PS3 version with more stuff and this is WRONG

Hopefully Mistwalker will just start making Wii or PS3 games rather than folding... most likely Wii, I'm thinking, if their Japanese publisher wants to make any money in the short term -- maybe PS3 if they've got deep enough pockets for the long haul.

I think Star Ocean The Last Hope is going to be a good indicator of how a non-FF JRPG can fare on the 360
