For people who don't know about the game here's a general synopsis:
This Xbox 360 game is a joint project between Mistwalker and Cavia. The theme of Cry On is tears, both of sadness and joy. Players will take control of main character Sally in this action adventure, working through scenarios that promise an emotional response.

Cry On takes place in a world where people live amongst giant sand creatures. Sally is in the company of one of them, a creature named Bogle, and fights alongside it. Although normally tiny, Bogle can transform into a giant beast to fight. He'll do so when Sally is in danger. The game promises to give players the perspective not just of Sally, but of Bogle as well. The game will play out with portions from both characters' perspectives.

Cry On features former Final Fantasy mastermind Hironobu Sakaguchi as producer and scenario writer, with composing partner Nobuo Uematsu's music.

I have a feeling that Mistwalker's days with Microsoft are slowly becoming numbered and maybe there will be a decline of JRPGs on the 360. I wonder if Mistwalker will jump ship to Nintendo, Sony or be a multi-platform developer under AQI's care.

Edit: My mistake AQI is publishing and funding Cry On MS doesn't have anything to do with this game.

In Japan ages ago, Nintendo published it the game bombed.

Sigh.Great! I was waiting for that to come to the states.I guess it won't now.

Ha, I remember a supposed leak from the ERSB that listed the game coming to America. While A.S.H looked interesting, I wasn't that blown away from what I saw.

 Christmas Day in Japan, AQ Interactive has announced the cancellation of Cry On for Xbox 360. First revealed in 2005, Cry On was to be developed by Mistwalker and Cavia as the third in Hironobu Sakaguchi's triumvirate of Xbox 360 titles. Cry On was to be an action RPG featuring a Nobuo Uematsu soundtrack, with character designs by Kimihiko Fujisaka. No screen shots were ever shown.

When asked about the cancellation, AQI responded, "AQI decided to cancel the project after analyzing the current market environment and forecasts for the future. We deeply apologize for troubling those who were awaiting its release."
