Yes, his name is call True Fantasy Live Online. This one is published and developed by Microsoft, that's mean "exclusively" on Xbox. Check out the product profile of the game. Yeah, some MMORPGs fans are very happy to have this one :cool:.

NOOOOOOOOOOO. Say it isn't so. I haven't read much about it yet, but I was glad to see MS making an exclusive MMORPG for the Xbox. Now you say it is cel shaded??? Personally I hate cel shaded games.

It isn't cel-shaded from what I've seen.

I just saw some screen shots and it looks cel-shaded to me. However, they have done a very good job with it.

I just hope we dont get any of those big ass 3d crap-looking ones like DAOC or EQ...Ultima Online is the way to be!

I think they're going for an animated style without cel shading. I saw a picture of a giant tortoise that looked pretty bump mapped to me.

Star Wars Galaxies is suppose to be on Xbox. It is the Star Wars version of Everquest.

Haven't looked into this one yet either, but I'd take cel shaded over anime anyday.

Yeah, I was wrong. I got a closer look at one of the screenshots of the turtle creature and it's cel shaded. I was thrown by the fact that the characters lack a hard black line.

Actually, come to think of it, a cel shaded MMORPG is downright genius. One of the things that are consistently asked in games like this is "how big can battles be?" The response is usually akin to, "Not too big; you can only push the hardware so far." But Cel Shading doesn't really put the same strain on the hardware, does it? That allows for more characters onscreen at a time.
Unless I'm totally wrong about that. In which case, feel free to correct me.:confused:

From what I've read of different developer interviews, cel-shaded graphics are no easier on hardware than any other kind of graphics. I can't provide any links, though...my bad.

I claim little knowledge of graphics programming, but I would assume that since cel shading is on characters with polygons, its gonna be no different there. With the textures, in a conventional graphics system you just have the textures that can be high res and the shadow below. in a cel shaded game you have the shadow below. However on the character if something is blocking a light source it calculates the area behind that and makes it a different color. (See JSRF) So I would assume that a cel shaded game and a conventional game would still be the same, but since were talking about the xbox does it really matter? ;)
