INFINITE UNDISCOVERY | SQUARE ENIX

Square-Enix/Tri-Ace, September 2 in US and Japan. Xbox 360 exclusive.

I guess to play it up a little bit... the game is said to contain 10 years worth of ideas Yoshiharu Gotanda, the man who created the original Tales of Phantasia and later co-founded the Tri-Ace studio. I had no idea this game was so close to completion, since Squenix appears to have been giving much more exposure to The Last Remnant, its multiplatform (and still TBA-release) title.

Trailer (HD also available)

Something interesting. The dialogue (as well as Last Remnant's trailers, for that matter) is all in English, while the menus are all in Japanese. Both InfinUndi and Last Remnant were earmarked as titles aimed at the west from the very beginning. This leads me to believe that, at least in terms of spoken language, English will be the original voice track for all releases (despite the lip-sync). Which means that there may not be any Japanese voice tracks, for those of us who usually prefer such things. The excuse that most of us use for putting things in Japanese is to 'hear it in its original language, as it was intended' yadda yadda, so it looks like this time...English is the original language.

That does look interesting. I know I'll be turning off the voice-overs announcing the attacks and special moves as I was already tired of them by the end of the trailer.

Voice acting being lame + Me no having Xbox 360 = me not giving a damn

I'll admit the scenery and story looked quite interesting though. And what the hell was up with the lip synching? It was terrible.

Since the text was in Japanese in that video I'm guessing that they did the English voice-overs without updating the FMVs to sync with the English dialogue.

^Yeah, but are they gonna correct that or not?

It sends out the wrong vibes for a game when its like that.

The game has a nice look to it but the gameplay looks very shoddy, like it should belong on the PS2. I guess I was just expecting more from this generation of consoles. And the trailer to this game makes me cringe, why so serious?

I've actually heard more about this game than Last Remnant. And I like the sound of the plot better. You're not the main hero. I've always wanted a game like that xD But yeah. I've been craving JRPGs lately. I gave away my PS2 for an electric guitar last year. And all I have is a 360 so my pickings are slim. But apparently I just have to wait through the summer. I can survive on the DS RPGs until then. Might splurge on a PSP in a month or so to get me by. But I am looking forward to this game

[Ouch!]

More quality RPGs on the Xbox 360 is always a good thing in my book.
