This recently got a release date (June 14th), and a nice 720p trailer is now avaliable on the Japanese Live network (it's more or less the same as the one shown at TGS, but the higher quality makes it worth watching again). I uploaded a compressed version of it to the archive page for those without Japanese Live accounts.

Game looks great -- hope it turns out better than Blue Dragon.

You didn't like Blue Dragon? Why?
(just asking, never played it; hell I don't even have a 360)

looks very nice indeed

In short, it's extremely easy and extremely linear, like most modern JRPGs. There are a couple more reasons but I'll leave those for the review.

Truaty Bell will almost certainly also be extremely linear, but I am at least hoping it will be tougher and shorter.

When is it coming to the US? I wasn't looking forward to Eternal Sonata more than I was Blue Dragon... but Blue Dragon hasn't been US localized yet, so I haven't tried it out yet.
