The Xbox 360's focus on RPGs doesn't seem to be letting up anytime soon. To continue to push the genre and generate hype for the games, Japan's Xbox.com has recently started an RPG Portal Site featuring upcoming and previous Xbox 360 RPGs, most of which are exclusive titles (excluding Last Remnant, Trusty Bell, and Oblivion, which are all timed exclusives).Titled "Hajimeyou! RPG" (an expansion of their Japanese catch phrase "Hajimeyou! Xbox 360," which is literally something like "Let's Begin! Xbox 360," but is just their Japanization of the English catch phrase "Jump In"), the site currently features brief descriptions and trailers for Tales of Vesperia, Infinite Undiscovery, The Last Remnant, Star Ocean 4: The Last Hope, Fable II, and Mass Effect. Already released titles are also featured, including Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, Final Fantasy XI, Trusty Bell: Chopin no Yume, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and Fable (wtf? Fable isn't a 360 game).
Though they could surely make the page as large as the like, there are at least two obvious spots left open. Could two new RPGs be on the verge of being announced?
Either way, this shows a continued interest in expanding the Xbox 360's lineup to include a heavy focus on RPGs. Good news for us. ;)
Check out the site here. (It has pretty pictures, even if you can't read Japanese.)
