Doesn't Mistwalker basically do concept and art stuff then basically pass that along to various devs, such as the case with Artoon, and Blue Dragon?

Not quite. They do overall design on the titles. It's not like Artoon is getting set loose on Blue Dragon with just a five-page summary and a "go wild!" Mistwalker are basically having their own employees and contractors serve as the top tier managers and oversight and basically use the other companies to provide the low-level programmers and texture artists and whatnot.

So now that the game is shown to be looking and sounding great wen get the "exclusivity" pissing contest between the fanboys. Seriously, some of you are sad and have already ruined this thread.

they like a big pile of Executive Producers it seems

I need to see more of this game before i get too excited. also, to those confused about the "not dying" thing, my best guess is it will have system similar to Prey :/

- Since the main character cannot die either there will not be a possibility of game over.


Haha what.

Ever played Planescape: Torment? You couldn't die in that game either (outside of a few key encounters). It worked very well has a plot device and a puzzle device. There were some puzzles that REQUIRED you to kill yourself. Trust me, that shouldn't be a problem with the game.

that makes it just like dragon quest (if your party dies you're just found revived at the last save spot with half your gold gone). this is something that all RPGs need to have.

Man I really hope that demo drops on XBLM. Hope some more scans turn up soon as well. I've been pretty excited about this game since I heard the story concept.

And we certainly can't have that on the killbox now can we?
Click to expand...

No, I'm sure lots of people will love this game, and I was kinda excited for it too, but now that I know the combat system is turn-based, i'm very much turned off.

Meh. Looks just like a FF game.

Well wouldn't that just be....

PERFECT!

If a game like this does well on the 360, Square would probably start doing more development for the system as well.

I'm not too thrilled about that either but this game is first and foremost for Japan.

Come on, give us some realtime action and ditch the turn-based crap. Everytime I see a title that looks cool it ends up being turn-based. Not only is it boring to me, but it also tells me something about the company... "Hey guys, instead of wasting time creating good ai, fighting mechanics, blocking/dodging techiques, physics, or having to worry about any collision detection issues... lets just make it turn-based so we can use pre-recorded fighting animations over and over again during battle!! YAY!!"

I remember reading that Sakaguchi was involved with FF I - VI and after that he became more of an executive producer. Not sure about the rest.

Agreed. But i'm willing to wait until they reveal the whole shebang before I write it off.

The main programmer (or is he director now?) on this game was main programmer on FFIX, and also worked on FFVII.
He also worked on Magatama, but everyone would rather forget about this game :p

Great point but at least we were able to see lots of movies of Dead Rising before release.
Click to expand...
Well, we started getting a lot of Dead Rising stuff around E3, 3 months before release. We had already seen the game before that of course so it's not exactly the same as Blue Dragon.
Sakaguchi simply ordered a complete media blackout until he was totally satisfied with the game. Maybe Artoon's development method is different from Feel Plus, and they didn't have any completely polished stuff to show before that.
Edit: Woha, vspectra in here. Someone to finally post stuff from xboxyde :D

WTF is that supposed to mean?

There's one thing that confuses me about this game.
If the main character cannot die, why the hell does he have HP in that game shot? :D
Looks awesome though. Very FF-like.
