True Fantasy Live Online - Still Xbox's Killer MMO App?

Thanks to XBN for its in-depth preview of Level 5's Japanese-developed Xbox MMORPG, True Fantasy Live Online, the long-in-development Microsoft funded title which is finally "hitting Xbox Live in early summer 2004." The piece points out that Level 5's RPG portfolio "...is stunningly impressive; in addition to Microsoft's Fantasy, the studio is developing the Dark Cloud series for Sony and Dragon Quest VIII for Square Enix", before speaking to chief game designer Akihiro Hino, who "believes it's possible to play and enjoy a noncombat character without fighting for the entirety of a lifeline in Fantasy", and the article ends by boldly claiming: "Fantasy already has more environments, enemies, vehicles, items, skills, classes, monsters, pets, and foods than any console RPG to date." Are you remotely, significantly, or excessively excited about this Xbox Live exclusive title?

XBOX aka: PC games for dummies

OK first question, Why would anyone buy an X-box when virtually every title for it is out for the PC? And half of the "new" titles coming out for the X-Box are three year old PC titles? Ok to the subject at hand, am I excited about this titles coming out for X-box? Actually... no. I will however be excited when it's released for PC and I am however quite excited about "Fable" because even though it says "X-box exclusive" I can't see them not releasing this extremely over-hyped RPG on the much more common PC.
