Such a gorgeous game. Got the demo unknowing of the English language present in the build. I will play it in Japanese next as I'm sure the voice overs are much better.

Can't wait for its retail release! I pray it is region free as Europe has no mention of a release yet (crazy)!

Hey Major,

It appears this game has the NTSC content in with the NTSC-J content which would indicate the US release of the game is not too far off from the Marketplace. I hope to see this released to the US and other English speaking regions as soon as possible because this game would be a great boon to those who favor Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles and Final Fantasy and Fable's gametype.

This is no sit there and watch your characters work RPG. You must be active with your button presses, move to your target and be prepared to defend yourself at all times. That and the characters are great.

Actually this game reminds me a lot of Final Fantasy 12 without all the unnecessary CG.

I finally got it! I just tried downloading it and instead of deleting the incomplete file every time it didn't work, I downloaded it again and kept doing that until the % got high enough and finally finished.

The update restricts you from making out of region accounts, really, well gee, I just made a nice new US one to complement my Japanese one.

Not had any problems so far....but then I haven't been downloading movies....although I did get the Die Hard 4 and Transformers trailers.

Guys,

The update just restricted video downloads. And the ability to make out of region accounts on the console... still doesnt stop you from making a japanese account using xbox.co.jp....

Odd. I was able to get the Tenchu demo with a japanese account, but when I try to get Trusty Bell, it eventually says can't download demo or there was a problem downloading it and I should try again later. It got up to 25% at the highest so far. Stupid thing. I want to play this now.

The update was more to restrict non-US accounts from accessing the Video Marketplace. As I understand it if MSoft were allowing people to pay for video downloads of which they didn't own the distribution rights to for that territory (even if the customer lied about where they were from) there'd be hell to pay. Until the Video Marketplace is available in Japan I doubt there'll be any account restrictions there.
