Uh no, I do not expect PS4 to be super hot in Japan, but it will still likely have a sizeable margin. The Japanese games (like JRPGs) will come over time. NIS, Falcolm, etc. have confirmed to have PS4 projects in development, just that RPGs don't just finish very quickly (takes a while).
MS usually does their conference Monday morning the day before E3 starts.
Heh good luck with that.. expect only some niche JRPG's and Square Enix Final Fantasy esque games this gen. Both will be multiplatform.
Please be excited.
So for 2014 ps4 wont have much jrpgs
The appeal of JRPGs has retracted a lot since the golden days. Without strong numbers in Japan for X1, the one market where a good RPG can still do good numbers, I wonder if Mistwalker have something a little different than a traditional RPG in the oven. What ever it is.
Please be patient.

Lost Odyssey did far better in the west than in Japan.
I hope it's a traditional RPG.
Verendus only said the ps4 jrpg was in early stages of planning and it would take a while to reveal.
and from what i've seen hes a pretty reliable insider
One could say "JRPGs" are a niche. But hey let's pretend NIS, Bandai, TK, Falcom and the likes are just deserving of "niche" status.

Just put in a request to gamestop to pick up Lost Odyssey at a store because of this thread, so good job renewing interest in a six year old game Phil Spencer.
If Sakaguchi makes another RPG for Microsoft or Nintendo, I doubt it's going to be turn-based.
I expect it will be an evolved version of the battle system for The Last Story (obviously if it would be a Microsoft title it'd be fairly different, but still along those same action/strategy lines)
If he makes an iOS RPG I think it will be turn-based.

It had quite a bit of advertisement put behind it, and given the game budget, doesn't surprise me Microsoft didn't feel like continuing the partnership.

I haven't played that one yet.

No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
Considering the companies involved with that do not exist anymore its going to be a bit hard to say that it would "live on" in any sort of way or form depending on how rights to things were broken up with the designs and such.
Had Cavia and AQ Interactive involved. Both which do not exist anymore. AQ was the pub and Cavia was part of the production. Mistwalker is the only one from those three still left standing.
Dat way he said:
''Thuesday...''
That because he's salty but he know there will be a Wii U TLS2 announcement coming and he spoiled everyone before Nintendo dropped the bomb.
Such clever humor.
Lost Odyssey 2 would get me so near buying a X1. D:
I would definitely consider buying a used Xbox One for the Sakaguchi game. On the other hand, though, why would he make another game for MS?? LO sold poorly for Sakaguchi standards and no matter how much moneyhatting MS offers, I'm sure he made a loss making that game. If it's multi-platform, then at least he can recoup some losses. I hope LO2 is multi-platform. The man has alot of ideas though, so I hope he comes out with a new IP

MS funded the development of that game. Sakaguchi got paid for his efforts. LO wouldn't exist if MS didn't bankroll him. He'd be lucky to get another opportunity like this considering how neither Sony or Nintendo seem to be interested in his stuff.

If true, mistwalker miss out on my cash once again.
You know what I'm talking about, AAA console JRPG's are getting rarer by the year. And NIS & TK RPG's are pretty niche in the west yeah.
Is it? For the XB1 it maybe is but after a few years I can see a PS4 AAA JRPG doing "okay" numbers WW.

So has anyone asked Phil on Twitter? I really want this to be true, but I swear if he's leading us on....

Blue Dragon is absolutely AAA. That was a fantastic game, beginning to end. I couldn't disagree with you more there. And Tales of Vesperia also struck me as an AAA rpg release. It was damn good.

Don't care what platform it's for, I want more RPGs out of Sakaguchi/Mistwalker.

Guess we will have to wait and see what will happen. I don't really think we will see anything on XBone from mistwalker, but then again Last Odyssey 2 would be really cool.

If it's LO2 I hope the loading times will be better.

Drunk or just clueless?
Anyway, given all the teases Phil Spencer throws out there, I'll believe it when I see it. Personally I think he just says what people want him to say, regardless of whether there's something in the works.

Same here. I did get to play Mass Effect 1 and 2 at launch though. Even though those games released on PS3 a year later.
90%? Why are you pulling statistics out of thin air? You have no idea who is buying the Xbox One.

I hope it's not exclusive to the Xbox.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Gooch setting himself up to fail in Japan again is just dumb stuff. He must really hate Sony or just really need that Microsoft money. (if this has any weight at all)
Also love how Senjutsu has MS peeps on speed-twitter-dial.

It probably is, which would be bizarre considering it'll probably have a very weak presence in Japan. Maybe it's not a traditional RPG?
BTW, has Mistwalker ever made a game for a Sony platform? I don't recall him ever doing so.
It's a shame that his games are confined to platforms. But at least MSFT will give enough of a fuck to localize it.

Japanese developed games are more important for the rest of the world than Japan. MS need Japanese devs more than selling their game box there.

To put it bluntly no. AAA means budget. Stuff like FF is a AAA JRPG. Lol at Tales being AAA.
I agree. I mean the game's plot was sort of weak at the end, and some of the mechanics were tired. But the premise, short stories, and music were beautiful. Nobuo Uematsu is basically the closest living composer that resembles Tchaikovsky.
