More On: Enchanted Arms
In a not so surprising move Ubi announced this week that they will be porting their RPG Enchanted Arms to the PS3.  The previously exclusive to the Xbox 360 game will get some SIXAXIS support and a few other tweaks but it doesn't look like PS3 owners will be getting anything that 360 didn't. 
UBISOFT ANNOUNCES ENCHANTED ARMS(TM) FOR THE PLAYSTATION®3 SYSTEM

Fantasy Role-Playing Adventure Coming March 2007 


SAN FRANCISCO – January 11, 2007 – Today Ubisoft, one of the world's largest video game publishers, announced that Enchanted Arms(TM) is being developed for the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system and will be available in stores this March. Enchanted Arms is being created by development studio FromSoftware in Japan and is one of the first true next-generation Japanese role-playing games (RPG) arriving on the PLAYSTATION 3 system. The adventure takes place in a fantasy world filled with beautiful cinematic graphics and vibrant characters. It includes more than 50 hours of gameplay and is the only next-gen RPG with the fast-action SpeedTactics Battle System, which enables the player to move his or her characters and use distance-dependent attacks while in battle.

In Enchanted Arms, players will embark on an epic RPG adventure and escape to a fantasy world filled with unique and bizarre creatures. Taking the role of Atsuma, enchanter-in-training, players will transform from a naïve student into the most powerful savior in a war 1,000 years in the making. In an immersive, deep storyline filled with increasingly difficult challenges, players will meet new allies and master Atsuma's special fighting and magic abilities.
