Typical JRPG's don't sell anymore though....a PS3 exclusive JRPG in this day and age would fail. I think the genre died long time ago on the PS2 or PSX. Final Fantasy is the only JRPG that sells now.
yea this post!! Mistwalker isn't worth it IMO...all they made were a Dragon Quest clone and a FF clone.
The original makers of Arc The Lad 1 and 2 (maybe 3) G-Craft was absorbed into Square if I'm not mistaken (since they made Front Mission games also). I do not think Media Vision has the staff/high end programmers for an HD graphic engine either.
I can tell you why we haven't really easily.
-Rogue Galaxy was created to be the NEXT big RPG to rival Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy. That was the goal of Level 5/SCEJ. It didn't exactly do well.
-Wild Arms sold well on PS1, continued seeing its sales go down on PS2 and XF sold really bad.
-Legaia 2 did not sell good compared to 1.
-PoPoLoCrois sales declined on PS2 and the ports on PSP barely sold.
-The newer Arc The Lad games on PS2 developed by Cattle Call bombed.
-Dark Cloud 2 did not sell anywhere near as much as the first one.
-Pretty much every new JRPG SCEJ published for PS2 all bombed (Okage The Shadow King, Dual Hearts, Tsunganai(sp), etc.).
-Pretty much every new JRPG SCEJ published for PSP bombed (Coded Soul, Brave Story, Monster Kingdom: Jewel Summoner, Blade Dancer, Jeanne D'Arc, etc.)
After getting burned out many types making a JRPG, this is why SCEJ does not make many of them internally. And don't forget that while WKC sold decently on PS3, its sequel sold worse and the PSP version really sold bad.
Believe me, I like the genre but I understand why they are cautious, since many of them require a higher budget and lots of staff.
Legend of Dragoon team is pretty much all gone working elsewhere around Japan.
Mistwalker would never work for Sony.
