Exoprimal Story Trailer (think I hit a media cap)

Sword & Fairy 7

Will update, as I continue through the show with trailers when they are uploaded.

Edit: Partnership with Kojipro & From Software and various other Japanese Devs mentioned.

 

[Bernd Lauert]

My Japanese game loving heart is pleased, but Phil is still only maybe half way there and needs to do more. Good thing I have a Switch so it's fine.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Excited for Wo Long and Eiyunden.

Didn't have time to watch the show, so thanks for the effort of putting this up, OP.

 

[CosmicComet]

Phil needs to do more but bless his heart I know at least he actually cares.

I dont think Jimbo has ever picked up a controller in his life.

 

[intheinbetween]

Well it was said they have partnership with several japanese studios and they mentioned Fromsoft and Kojipro

 

[Kagey K]

 

[Lasha]

This is a great list of games. GGST is an especially good get with crossplay coming soon.

 

[anthony2690]

Can anyone find the blazblue and guilty gear strive trailer?

 

[adamsapple]

More japanese games, and importantly more JRPG's are coming to Xbox under Phil's leadership than ever before.

So yeah, I agree. The trips are definitely paying off.

 

[intheinbetween]

Can anyone find the blazblue and guilty gear strive trailer?

Arcsys segment:

 

[Orbital2060]

Damn, Wo Long looking real good

 

[anthony2690]

Arcsys segment:

I'm genuinely mega happy to see arc system works fighters return to Xbox!

 

[Orbital2060]

Wo Long; camera and movement looks great to play with

A touch of Sekiro in main character and setting. Same but different.gif

 

[KingT731]

Paying off in what way? Late ports on GP? Sequels not coming to Xbox after launching on GP?

 

[DenchDeckard]

Great work Xbox! Really fleshing out game pass and constantly improving Japanese support.

GG Phil!

Wo long looks insane!

 

[Pallas]

Paying off in what way? Late ports on GP? Sequels not coming to Xbox after launching on GP?

Mainly exclusive games going multi platform. Thus probably wouldn’t be happening without Xbox working on their relations and partnerships with Japanese and/or other Asian studios.

 

[Winter John]

This is sickening. It's the great Final Fantasy betrayal all over again. We might as well just give Phil the PSVR 2 and let him put that on Gamepass

 

[Nankatsu]

Still no Final Fantasy VII Remake though.

 

[Vasto]

All Game Pass.

 

[anthony2690]

That's sqaure enix, who are weird as hell with Xbox in general.

But it's paying off as we are getting games we never thought we would see on Xbox and more Japanese games in general.

I never thought I'd see blazblue cross tag battle, Yakuza series, guilty gear strive, persona series, ni no kuni and various other ips on Xbox.

I'm really looking forward to replaying ni no kuni later today

It's something myself and others are pretty excited about.

It's a big step forward in the right direction.

They were already on PC/Switch though.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

The danganronpas are expected now, they seem to stagger the releases so people can look forward to the next release; it's almost episodic in that way.

 

[Fredrik]

I feel like it’s too little and too late but maybe that’s just me

 

[adamsapple]

The danganronpas are expected now, they seem to stagger the releases so people can look forward to the next release; it's almost episodic in that way.

Releasing all 3 in the same drop would have been a massive overkill.

 

[Calverz]

What he really needs to do is get a timed exclusivity on final fantasy 9 remake.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

It's cool but most of it has been out on other platforms. I'm mainly interested in new stuff.

Not what I would call impressive but they're not comatose.

I can't say it's just SE though. I've seen the Achievements on Xbox and it was like .58% finished the game (completed with 1 character). And there's achievements for playing for 10 hours and that was at 12.8% massively lower than the steam version but I give it some slack bc GP...the engagement for some games just isn't there.

Also I have an active PC GP sub just fyi.

 

[Chukhopops]

I mean at this point we have games from Atlus, Spike Chunsoft, Cyberconnect, Koei Tecmo, Arc System Works, Sega.

All that’s missing is NIS, Gust and SE, two of which I can certainly live without.

Compare that to last gen and the progress made is tremendous. We are still far from full parity but that’s quite the achievement already.

Don't forget marvelous, they are releasing no more heroes 3, loop 8 and more on Xbox

 

[RoboFu]

Meh.. call me when he gets a final fantasy or dragon quest day one on Xbox.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Since Phil been putting in work in Japan Sony has lost Yakuza, Persona and Dragon quest to name a few high profile exclusives....and they've all come to gamepass when released.

Shits huge

 

[ZehDon]

Game Pass paying for itself. Keen to give Ni No Kuni a spin; looks terrific!

Fantastic stuff for fans of Japanese games on the platform.

 

[SSfox]

Oh boy, the crazy me thinking they're gonna announce new KI...

 

[deriks]

Square is going with Crisis Core remake for the Xbox, but not the VII remake

 

[adamsapple]

Also Square Enix is a terrible decision making company.

 

[STARSBarry]

Please if you have Gamepass give Fuga a go and try to go in blind if you are able. Great game.

 

[Mr Moose]

I hope you like annoying Welsh gnomes.
I love that game, and the other one.

Lost? Those games are still on PS. Sega and their divisions in particular have been asking if people wanted those games as multiplatform for nearly 6 years. MS paying just sped up the process

 

[Petopia]

These are games that exist on other platforms.

Don't you mean you guys cap for jp games now that you didn't want to get another console to play them on?

 

[Pallas]

They were already on PC/Switch though.

I don’t see Xbox in your post, that was the entire point I was making to your first comment.

 

[Lognor]

These are games that exist on other platforms.

But not xbox. That's the point...

But yeah, Phil doing great work. Xbox hitting on all cylinders this gen. Great time to be an xbox owner!

 

[Pallas]

Still no Final Fantasy VII Remake though.

Phil hasn’t made enough trips to Japan yet to fight that boss. He might need to rent a apartment in Japan.

 

[yazenov]

I mean, most of these games are old and have been out on other platforms for years already. Its like the Japanese publishers are throwing scraps at the Xbox and showing the bear minimum of "support"

 

[anthony2690]

 

[DenchDeckard]

Don't you mean you guys cap for jp games now that you didn't want to get another console to play them on?

I own every console and have played Japanese rpgs for like 30 years. I used to import consoles in the UK to play them. It's amazing that Microsoft have got these games. Simple as...and on gamepass.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Lost? Those games are still on PS. Sega and their divisions in particular have been asking if people wanted those games as multiplatform for nearly 6 years. MS paying just sped up the process

They lost them as ot no longer makes sense to be exclusive and Microsoft xbox players get to enjoy amazing games. All good.

 

[Lognor]

The bear minimum? You know there isn't a "port to xbox" button that magically develops the game, right? It still takes time to port a game. Phil doing great work getting these deals done. And on game pass!! Best deal in gaming just got better

 

[KingT731]

I don’t see Xbox in your post, that was the entire point I was making to your first comment.

Meaning they aren't exclusive to 1 platform....they just weren't on Xbox so saying "Mainly exclusive games going multi platform." is still wrong
