We sure love Xbox Live Marketplace. Today we have a new trailer for Infinite Undiscovery, a new RPG from Sqare Enix. Unfortunately, the trailer is somewhat old, though we seem to have missed it, so it might be new to you if you never leave the comfy confines of X3F (and really, you shouldn't). The game centers around a world that worships its moon. Of course, something awful is happening to the moon -- it's careening towards the planet -- so the world is suffering as well. Given that, we're guessing the goal of the game is to right whatever is wrong with the moon. The game features real time environments in which the game's action takes place. This counts for both environmental interactions and combat, which is definitely intriguing to those losing interest in the traditional Japanese RPG formula. Go download the trailer if you so desire, or feel free to watch it embedded above.
It's really great to see more RPG's on the 360, but honestly, Squeenix has really been letting me down lately. FFXI was an MMO, FFXII was an MMO without the online part, this just looks kind of bleh.
I'll reserve judgement until I can see more, but honestly what kind of a name is infinite UNdiscovery?
I don't know, I think FFXII was more a combination of things. It's really nothing like an MMO when you get down to it, aside from enemies actually being on screen. I liked the game, though... It is worth noting that SE has arguably done more interesting non-FF things the past several years, though.
I honestly think this looks great so far and unlike the FF games, this is being developed by Tri-Ace. They're known for Valkyrie Profile, Star Ocean and Radiata Stories. All of which I think have offered something decent (particularly Radiata and VP).
IU is looking great.
I've been covering Infinite Undiscovery since it was announced on my RPG site, here is a direct link to the Infinite Undiscovery section: http://rpg360.blogspot.com/search/label/infinite%20undiscovery
I'm never viewing a gamevideos embeded video again. So X3F you need to find a decent source for the video. I'd rather have no video and have rickets than deal with game videos.
By the way, stupid fucking name for a game. I can't imagine how one would undiscover something and even more boggling is how a discovery would be reversed. Why the need to add the word infinite infront of it? To cause even more confusion and hatred of a title I know nothing about? I'm not buying this game already.
Square seems to have no limit for setting and scenery design, so why havent they mustered up a semi original character design since the super nintendo? At some point the FF's became hard to distinguish since all the characters look the damn same. And i won't even get into their lazy ass story and character development. Come on Square, impress me again

Naming a game Infinite Undiscovery makes it unsoldability.

I think this is just the japanese name. When it gets translated it will have something that suits our tastes more.
Like "Biohazard" is called "Resident Evil" etc.

The game is looking pretty top notch. I expect a Name change most definitely.

Is this going to come out before FFXIII comes out for the PS3? Could it be that the first Next-Gen JRPG from Square-Enix comes out for the 360? :D
