Must be. With the 360 selling badly in Japan for two years now, there's no reason why Japanese publishers keep on releasing these exclusive games if it weren't for the MS money hats. Yes, there's an audience for JRPGs in the west but it would make more sense for a Japanese publisher or developer right now to make a game like Infinite Undiscovery a multi-platform title or even a PS3 exclusive if they want to have a hit in Japan.
It's really strange how MS is doing better getting support for these kind of games than Sony. The 360 currently is a better platform for RPGS than both the Wii and PS3..
The scenarios to Radiata Stories and Valkyrie Profile 2 were also outsourced already so we will have to see if that's actually an improvement.
Microsoft most likely finances the whole development as the game was announced as a Microsoft "product" right after VP2 was released. Square-Enix most likely just joined the deal since it gives Microsoft better reputation, audience and publicity for the final product, and Square-Enix likely gets the permission to tell tri-Ace to reuse the same resources for SO3 which would otherwise have been exclusively Microsoft owned.
The game staff known through Famitsu were on the Japanese Wikipedia for ages already. I didn't know anyone missed them (most were likely focussed on the odd title anyway though).

SO3 is awesome but story is really not the reason why I love it.
story is so bad :x
it seems to me tri-Ace/MS deal this gen was like Atlus/MS deal last gen, where the developer (in this gen tri-Ace) used the money to fund their new engine. so will IU be another SMT NINE? ;o

I think MS is still the publisher for the game but they are co publishing it now. SE name on it will help it sell in japan. at least thats what i think
Starting to lean into my WANT pile. Even though it had a bland story with a twist that nearly killed my enthusiasm for the game, Star Ocean is still one of my favorite action RPGs in terms of battle mechanics. Hearing that they contracted out to some respectable writers goes a long way towards quashing my expectation that they would wrap another lame-ass boy-hero anime story around a fun battle system.
Still hate the title though.
