Square Enix have opened a new studio called Tokyo RPG Factory to focus on making a new JRPG Title for consoles.

It is called Project Setsuna. Planned for global release 2016

Teaser

// Mod Edit:

This is the same studio we've known about for a while:

I don't think there's really much mystery to this. We've known about this studio for a while now.

It's a new studio funded by Square Enix Holdings (which means it's a separate company from Square Enix proper), for the explicit purpose of developing JRPGs for consoles. They were hiring a lot of staff, so it's more of a start up than an existing development team from Square Enix. They're working on new IPs, and it looks like they're using Unity.

Is this a throwback to bad '90s translations or something?
EDIT: Ah, you fixed it. Very good.

 

[YianGaruga]

Square Enix saving JRPGs

[Trojita]

PROJECT SETSUNA

 

[Icyflamez96]

Is it chibi is it turned based is it action i must know

 

[nrvalleytime]

Grabbed a concept art of Project Setsuna (spelling?).

Brain fart.

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

Likely see more at TGS.

 

[chadskin]

RPG Factory. Flattering company name lol.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

"It's a brand that says Japan and role playing games and tells people exactly what we're all about.
Now let's go inside and check out the studio..."

 

[Lionheart]

New IP, no side story or whatever, console project, thank god! Looking good too.

 

[Stumpokapow]

STOP YELLING YOU ARE AN ADULT

 

[Morrigan Stark]

Grabbed a screenshot of Project Sensuna (spelling?).

I think that's just concept art.

I legit thought it was a Chrono Trigger game because of that clock in the picture. Then he said it was a completely new IP

Tell me that doesn't look like a clock on the left side.

 

[Xord]

SE had vision!

 

[Lakitu]

This guy looks so bored.

 

[Femto.]

Why announce something that has a placeholder title and nothing to show for?

So dumb, I hate when companies do this.

 

[crooked spin]

Thought it might be Chrono for a sec... still, looks promising.

 

[Phamit]

Looks like it is finished by 90%

 

[Tenebrous]

Concept art looks really nice.

 

[nrvalleytime]

I think that's just concept art.

Brain fart. Yep, concept art.

 

[JawzPause]

I was thinking all SE needed was a new IP and they delivered. Impressive E3 for SE indeed

 

[Nirolak]

I think this is that Unity using studio they were hiring for.

 

[Blobbers]

Let's just call them ToRFa.

 

[Morrigan Stark]

This guy looks so bored.

Wonder why they insist on going on the stage if they're just going to robotically read from a teleprompter. This is beyond embarrassing.

 

[Red_taiyaki]

Looks promising, but will need to actually see the game before we can judge it. I mean, all we've seen is concept art after all......

 

[Fou-Lu]

Wish they had more to show, but sounds promising. I love that they made a new studio solely for JRPGs.

 

[KiraXD]

I think this is that Unity using studio they were hiring for.

oh damn i hope not.

 

[aceface]

edit: wrong thread

 

[Guymelef]

 

[darthbob]

Setsuna you say?

SE confirmed for developing a new Gundam game.

 

[Sendou]

Let's see them deliver on that bold premise!

.

I think their poor little site is getting hammered enough already.

 

[gamergirly]

What system? Maybe NX?

 

[KiraXD]

are you kidding?

id like to see you go up and speak japanese at a conference.

English isnt his first language... he did amazing.

 

[nrvalleytime]

This makes me happy. If good old days means Dragon Quest, then I'm happy.

They're even playing that music in the background. AHHH.

 

[nelsonroyale]

Hmmm...not much to go by so hmmm Wait and see

 

[QuiteWhittle]

This guy looks so bored.

He looked nervous to me.

 

[Gambit 1138]

I'm excited. Though not sure how in the world he can say its a 2016 title when all they have is some vague concept art.

 

[Mister Zimbu]

Square Enix bombshell - "We're making an RPG"

 

[bananafactory]

What system? Maybe NX?

I would guess PS4, this sounds like one of the games Verendus was talking about

 

[Pooya]

I'd guess these guys will be making old school type of JRPG and small cool projects.

 

[Soriku]

THERE ARE TOO MANY FUCKING GAMES GAF.

FUCK.

 

[Inuhanyou]

Let's see them deliver on that bold premise!



I think their poor little site is getting hammered enough already.

Let's hope its not the same fate as Imageepoch

 

[Kevinroc]

I'm interested. Need some more information about this specific game.

 

[Kresnik258]

RPG Factory. Hmm. I'm sure they're full of good ideas.

Like an Idea Factory, or something.

Seriously though, that's what the name made me think of.

 

[BumRush]

I'd kill for HD sprite-based graphics...

 

[harSon]

What system? Maybe NX?

If it's coming to console(s), I'm going to assume PS4 and XB1.

 

[KiraXD]

He looked nervous to me.

yeah nervous... hes speaking an entirely different language than his natural one... i dont get people bagging on him for that...

 

[Cocoa]

Looks beautiful, but will need to see more. I believe in you, Tokyo RPG Factory.

 

[Elfstruck]

Good lord, we are announcing a new IP with concept arts.

 

[Natiko]

Thought it might be Chrono for a sec... still, looks promising.

Same here. Still curious to see what this turns out to be.
