When Microsoft will keep their act together?

If you want information about why Microsoft needs to keep their act together, then you're in the right place to know about why Microsoft needs help. When the very first original Xbox was released, Microsoft has RPGs so far. The project is Fable, a WRPG as an Xbox-exclusive. So far, Microsoft has more WRPGs, than JRPGs.

After the JRPGs are released on the original Xbox, the series from Japanese companies that did RPGs are dead, until then. The very first Fable is only for the original Xbox. It's a WRPG, but it's a Microsoft exclusive. I'm personally not too keen on WRPGs, but there might be some I might pick up.

When the Xbox 360 was first released, the folks from Japan have supported Microsoft so far. After that happened, Microsoft lost money in a failure way. That may be a heckhole and stupid. When Tales of Vesperia was released for the Xbox 360 in 2008, Namco Bandai has a "slump" that causes Microsoft to lose their act and let the Tales of series to die. Because of that situation, Namco Bandai, the Tales of team will never support Microsoft again. It was sad, but it happens. There's also a PS3 version, but never releases to the west.

Regardless, the Tales of team is not the only one who never want to support Microsoft. There's also other companies that'll never support the manufacturer. The Record of Agarest War series were made by Idea Factory and Compile Heart. They were the two companies that sadly stopped supporting. So far, two games of the series aren't exclusive, but the third game of the series is basically a Sony-exclusive since the two companies stopped supporting the Xbox 360.

There's also another JRPG that is done by Namco Bandai, but not the Tales of team. That game is called "MagnaCarta2." I remember playing it. I haven't gotten that far because the game is too buggy. The screen sometimes goes black after switching characters. When I tried to restart it, it's still there! It HAD to bug out because the team who made MagnaCarta2 went off the charts. I recall someone playing it, and someone didn't encountered any glitches. Maybe it wasn't the company that went off the charts, they forgot to patch it in, or my TV is faulty...

Also, there are RPGs that are exclusively for the Xbox 360 from Mistwalker, like Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey. They have the western appeal with a little Japanese touch. As far as I know, the act of Microsoft was paid off with Mistwalker, which is basically a Japanese company.

When the Final Fantasy series continue, Square-Enix starts supporting Microsoft for Final Fantasy XIII, the first game for the Xbox 360 and PS3. FFXIII actually has a western appeal that is an RPG game. Square-Enix has a green light on the XIII saga. In the beginning of February this year, Lightning Returns releases to the US. I didn't get that far because of the real-time system, which is stupid. I wish I didn't get my hopes up for it.

In November 22, 2013, the Xbox One releases in a high demand status. So far this year, the Japanese comanies that did RPGs still didn't have any Xbox One games because of that situation. That really upset fans, even me. That makes me sad that we aren't getting any Tales of series for the Xbox One.

However, there's a Japanese game that is an action/adventure game, the Warriors series. They say that the Warriors series are big in Japan, not in the west. Well, there's a little bit of a western appeal. I'm not into the Warriors series much, but little did I know, but the Warriors series doesn't seem to affect Microsoft at all because action/adventure games are between the west and Japan.

Now, Microsoft needs to keep their act together after they lost money by letting the Japanese companies support them. So if this happens, they need to keep their act together to avoid losing money. That's what really upsets anyone who didn't understand the support. Because over the years, Microsoft kept their act together in the past. If the Japanese companies claim to stop supporting Microsoft, then the act is not together.

I'm not saying that Microsoft should know what mess they are in. Also, I'm not saying that they are in trouble because they didn't keep their act together. The reason why they need to keep their act together was because every time the Japanese companies support Microsoft, the manufacturer will lose money. That's not how they kept their act together. So basically, that will never happen again.
