EDIT: The official website for the game just went live: http://www.atlus.com/operationdarkness/ - release date set for June 24th.
So I just found out about this game today and I thought it looked pretty cool. Operation Darkness is a JRPG for the XBox 360 set in WW2. It was supposed to come out last year but was delayed and now has a vague 2007 TBA release date.
Here's the trailer. Lots of gameplay footage: http://www.success-corp.co.jp/software/xbox360/operation-darkness/download.html
From watching the trailer and guessing what the Japanese says based on my Chinese knowledge, I know that:
It takes place in an alternate reality Europe during WW2. Your goal is to assassinate Hitler. In addition to Nazi soldiers, you'll also be fighting monsters (skeletons and dragons were shown in the trailer). Vehicles like tanks and bomber planes are also useable.
Battles take place in large areas. Positioning is very important. However it doesn't look like a typical grid based Strategy/RPG.
Weapons such as sniper rifles, grenades, and rocket launchers were shown in the demo. Also some characters have the ability to use magic.
And here are some screenshots:

Wait, what?
Steam ID : rwb36, Twitter : Werezompire,
They are making video games about WW2 now...
I laughed so hard at this... Even if it wasn't meant to be a joke.
"So it starts out as this normal WW 2 strategy game, where you have your army with your footsoldiers and tanks and whatnot, fighting the nazis in some city environment. And it goes by normally for a while, and then when you've fought a bit suddenly your guys turn into fucking werewolves".
I'll tell you, my interest went from complete nil to "holy shit" in about a second.
Well it was just released on the islands. I am interested so I hope it fares well.
Dragons & Werewolves in WW2.
MUST BUY!!!
Count me in.
EDIT: The next EDF2017?
No, it doesn't look like it's real time. I think it's all turn based but I can't be sure.
OH NO! FDR AND HIS GIANT FLAMING WHEELCHAIR OF DEATH!
I don't remember the description itself, but I know the game claimed its genre was "genre."
EDIT: Oh man, I can't wait until Katchem_Ash finds this thread...
Here's Garnet Lee's TGS preview on the game.
Also from the gameplay videos (such as this one) on game trailers it looks like a pretty traditional SRPG.
He doesn't like the Xbox tho. Because the Japanese ignore it ya see.
And therein lies the source of the funny.
His confusion will be... epic.
Let 'em eat fucking pineapples!
I'll be keeping an eye out for this.
Play-Asia has this game listed as English/Japanese, but apparently only the menus are in English.

Or wait...
What the hell is that??

Didn't they give Blue Dragon something like 38/40? I wouldn't judge a game based on their review at all.

Recoilless Rifle
Early attempt at anti-tank weapons.
What took you so long, Japan?
Pretty sure it's not.
I actually think he's using a giant BAR with a barrel extension, ala typical Japanese "Giant Weapon" guys like Guts or Arngrim.

So it's not that out there that someone would find it interesting and put a jrpg around some of that stuff.
PSN: TheSuperVillain
Pretty sure it is this
It's a PTRD/PTRS, an early war Russian anti-tank rifle.
I mean in terms of release around here, and the "sleeper hit" status of it.
