Lock if old. Seems like Mistalker artist, Yasuhito Watanabe, may have unintentionally leaked art for their next game on his creator page.

Watanabes newly posted creator page has a photo of him and his monitors. One screen shows a grassy hill and a partially colored character. Perhaps, this incomplete drawing is work for the mysterious game Mistwalker is rushing to complete.

Link and creator page

I'm sure the more observant posters could find a few things worth noting about the image.

Dude please don't direct link images which can't be direct linked.....

My bad.

Oh good, Mistwalker concept art. Lets put it on the stack shall we.

Why is Mistwalker rushing to complete this? Is there some Mistwalker news I'm missing?

They're obviously rushing so we can actually get the game before either:

a) Mistwalker has to close their doors
b) the game gets canned by the publisher

yay mistwalker.

He is the abusive one in the relationship. But he's the one who always votes for Mistwalker to be mayor and shit like that.

That's bullshit. I'm not the one who designed Blue Dragon Plus.

Amir0x · Oct 28, 2009

Well I really wanted Cry On. At least conceptually it sounded the most interesting, instead of "I wanna be Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy!" But they canceled that so... not sure I should even anticipate this considering how Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey turned out :/

Perfect Blue · Oct 28, 2009

Cool if true. Any news if this is a 360 title?

ixix · Oct 28, 2009

Can you really call it a "leak" if it's sitting in plain view on Mistwalker's official website?

For that matter, how can you possibly call that "unintentional"?

Nope

Edit: They even mention the "leak" art on there twitter page :x

Jonnyram · Oct 28, 2009

I don't see how this was unintentional at all.
For starters, it doesn't show jack shit - a field and an incomplete character. WOW!

With an iron fist and a scornful tongue.
EDIT: Nvm misread your post lol.

APZonerunner · Oct 28, 2009

I wouldn't even call it news when you can't even glean any information on the unannounced game from the image.

batbeg · Oct 28, 2009

We're on code orange here, people! Mistwalker possibly accidentally posted a piece of art which may or may not be relevant to something in the past or future!

Yeah, everyone's calling it a "leak". Weird.

Well as soon as there's an official press release about it I'm sure they'll all start calling it "news."

You would think they'd check Silliconcera before checking gaf when it comes to game news, but knowing them, I really don't know :/

LocoMrPollock · Oct 28, 2009

Did that DS game they worked on ever come out? Can't remember the name, but it wasn't the Blue Dragon one.

EDIT: It was ASH, guess it never made it stateside.

speedpop · Oct 28, 2009

Let me know if one of their creations ever gets a 40/40 from Famitsu. I'm not going to play their games till then.

No time to complete a drawing? They must be rushing, even if it's been years.

They're bleeding money as it is. No way can they afford that. Besides, doesn't Square control Famitsu to some extent? I don't think Wada would be willing to let his predecessor get a perfect score.

Nirolak · Dec 21, 2009

A new blog posting went up: http://www.mistwalkercorp.com/jp/column/pg154.html

Google translate seems to say an announcement is coming in the Spring, but I want to confirm that with someone who can actually read Japanese first.

A news story about an announcement that an announcement will be made some time in the next several months. Is this really what we've come to?

And a picture of a picture that may or may not be a picture of some concept art for what might or might not be a game.
