Did they even hint at who is going to publish this game? Or is he just gonna stand on a street corner offering USB sticks with the game on it.

If they are even considering new platforms.. I'm ok with PS360 dual platform. Nothing against Wii/DS/PSP/iPhone except for my love of full HD home theater experience RPGs.

It is my belief that this big project is going to be for a *new* platform not released yet, or at least details not announced yet. That would explain why he hasn't been able to announce the game yet, though he wants to and it has a name and everything.
If, for example, it's for "Wii HD", he can't officially announce it until the "Wii HD" is announced. He said he may be able to announce the game in the spring, that's when GDC is, and Nintendo for one likes to announce things there (and I'm sure Nintendo would love to have a high profile RPG as a launch title for a new console). Of course, it could also be some other system - Natal would fit, as Microsoft hasn't really been forthcoming about many details yet, they are waiting to make a big splash all at once. They've announced a bunch of developers "pledging support" for Natal, but not actually listed games.

Sakaguchi said:I went to the first surfing of the New Year. The swell onshore was very moderate. It felt really good. Or should I say it felt like I was detoxing with the power of the ocean from the alcohol and the fat I consumed during the holiday season.
I saw the same turtle popped her head out to the surface for me.
I whispered Happy New Year" to her; I wonder if she heard me..?
Today is what we call, the first work day of the New Year.
I still have unsettled adjustment on the last dungeon dialogue and the directions of the ending scene. I didnt think I had that much adjustments, however this being the last dungeon, my requests has become slightly excessive. I will email you guys by tomorrow. Im sorry guys, I may have many requests (^^;
To the right, it is an idiotic picture of me over the year crossing.
I released my stress out so much that I have gone back to work on the 2nd, and Im calmly progressing quite well.
(Really, Im not lying (^^

After only a few gems for the last few years, the RPG scene sure is picking up
Someone on 2ch found AQ Interactive job ad from last year which mentions how Feel+ will be working on another big RPG for MS in the future...so probably not the one Sakaguchi is working now...

Does anyone remember when this picture was uploaded on Mistwalkers website?
A few things I've noticed: First of all, the blue box with the two red LEDs right next to the monitor is an IS Nitro Capture device, part of a DS devkit. And therefore not all that surprising. The left half of the image is more interesting: There's obviously a sensor bar on the TV, and the white cable visible on the desk should be a Wiimote. Even more interesting is the black thing on the desk. It's partially hidden behind the chair, so I can't tell for sure, but it definitely reminds me of a Wii NDEV (the actual Wii devkit, not the green debug unit we've seen on one of the other photos).

He says he got the Avatar game for research purpose. I'm guessing his game is really involving a lot of vegetation. Wasn't that what the game was supposed to be about? Humans going back to Earth after having left it for a long time, and nature had taken over? I forget where I read this.
Edit: Or maybe it's for that game of which we saw some art, with all the monsters and the vegetation.

I really hope it's a not a DS or Wii game, i can't stand both of those devices (and yes i own them both, actually two DS and 1 Wii) But i want his next game to be on a true HD console, preferably the 360.
I remember him saying somewhere that, Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon were his paying tribute to the older games, but this new game hes working on will differentiate itself from those games in terms of their tech and will try to accomplish something completely brand new.
I would love his next game to truly push the envelope. Blue Dragon is still one of the most beautiful games this generation, i would love for Artoon to do a true sequel or to even use that engine to create another game

I don't really care what it's on, so long as it's interesting and different from other JRPGs.

It's normal that they would have dev kits for every system in the studio.
Is it? The debug unit wasn't all that surprising, but an actual devkit? And it's all set up and sitting on the table. And the even more important question in that case is: where's the 360 devkit? Or the controller? All I see is a sensor bar, a Wiimote, and something that looks like a Wii devkit...Ether_Snake said:

Yeah, though it was suspicious that one time they went out of their way to photoshop out the Wii debug unit from a picture.Ether_Snake said:

Now that's definitely a possibility. I can see Nintendo being anal enough to force Mistwalker to remove the unit from the picture, even if they weren't working on a game at all.Peff said:
Hey if Monster Hunter Tri and FFCC: The Crystal Bearers can look that good, a Wii title should be no problem at all in the graphics department.
However, I do hope its another traditional style turn based RPG with a spin on the battle system and a real overworld/ Uematsu soundtrack.

Yeah, but Rare's made a few games for DS/GBA including MS properties like Banjo & Viva Pinata. It's never really been made clear who owns what, but I'd guess that MS at least have 'right of refusal' to more BD games.

Nay, its made pretty clear. Even the DS Blue Dragon games will have a copyright notice for Microsoft on them. And of course here's the actual copyright listings:APZonerunner said:

It's Microsoft's IP alright.

I guess it's obvious his next game will be a Wii game now? :lol I think meltdowns will ensue.

That's what I'm thinking. Just hope Nintendo gives it a marketing push...
Given Sakaguchi's comments the game should be impressive looking.

Having the creator of Final Fantasy back creating an original IP that would be set to be THE RPG when it comes to Nintendo? I really, really don't think Nintendo would screw something that big up. It would be a monumental thing, in my eyes bigger than even having FFXV on the Wii.
