For a long time, Microsoft and Mistwalker's first collaborative RPG, Blue Dragon, has reigned as king of the hill for the Japanese Xbox 360. It was turn-based, cute, had Akira Toriyama designed characters, and was full of poo. How do you hope to top that?Well, Square Enix and tri-Ace's sci-fi action-RPG, Star Ocean: The Last Hope, has gone ahead and done just that, breaking past Blue Dragon's sales and barrelling headlong into the most popular 360 game in the country.
Interestingly enough, the top 6 Xbox 360 games in Japan all happen to be JRPGs:
1. Star Ocean 4: The Last Hope - tri-Ace, Square Enix
2. Blue Dragon - Mistwalker, Artoon, Microsoft
3. Tales of Vesperia - Namco Bandai
4. The Last Remnant - Square Enix
5. Infinite Undiscovery - tri-Ace, Microsoft, Square Enix
6. Lost Odyssey - Mistwalker, feelplus, Microsoft
Will upcoming titles like Magna Carta II and End of Eternity rank in? Will a new game arise to challenge SO4's newly acquired title? I guess we'll find out.
