In further evidence of the extinction of 3rd party exclusives, Compile Heart's prequel to the steamy SRPG that could, Agarest Senki Zero, has been confirmed to be getting an enhanced Xbox 360 port sometime this year.Agarest Senki - recently released in North America as Record of Agarest War - is a typical Japanese SRPG with a twist: the girl that the player chooses to romantically pursue will change the next generation's hero.
Zero returns to this system - which they call 'Soul Breed' - as well as introduce new functionality to the game, including interactive costume changing, and changes to girls' appearances as their feelings for the hero grow.
The Xbox 360 port will reportedly have new costumes and costume changing modes, new CG scenes, and a gallery mode for different event scenes.
Agarest Senki Zero: Dawn of War will be available for Xbox 360 on July 29, 2010 in Japan.

sadly i think the battle system and overall look of this game sucks.
then again i've never liked srpg's either, but that's just part of the problem.
i wonder how they go about choosing which games to localize ? i mean honestly.
for instance the game mimana for psp is just terrible yet it made it overseas, just boggles the mind.
an yet a fairly good (visually aswell look it up if u don't believe me) psp rpg like rezel cross never did.
it's a damn shame.
Why SRPGs still get made is a bit baffling to me as well, as I've only ever enjoyed 1 in my entire life.
Why some games make it over here and others don't is usually due to publishing relationships. Rezel Cross, for instance, was published by Sony in Japan, who are often very picky about which of their games get localized. Compile Heart/Idea Factory, on the other hand, are probably thrilled to let anyone who wants to localize their stuff.
yea man i guess, it just sucks.
i mean mimana is very sub-par, that's my main point.
oh well lol.
