First thing that comes to mind.
If he's trolling, then it's impressive. LO2 would be incredible.

Would be non-news for most, but a megaton for GAF.

Hey. It's a new era for Xbox.

I have zero interest in getting an Xbox One, none whatsoever, however were they to bring an exclusive Sakaguchi RPG and a Phantom Dust-related project to the console then I would buy one in a heartbeat.

Even if he did, I seriously doubt he would regarding this - something that hardcore fans (pretty much the ones that would follow him on twitter) would obviously want. It would just create bad marketing for Microsoft.
True. It's not entirely impossible either - considering there's a very good chance a Platinum exclusive is coming for Xbox One (via the leaks) and now this. I still think announcing both in the same magazine is unlikely.

Even though I wouldn't play it, it would be nice to see him get work again. Too bad that's another game that won't be remotely successful and then the cycle continues 
Microsoft has said they have Jrpgs in the works for Xbox one.

Even if this does not help MS in the long run, it hurts Sony in the short run. I think that logic did work to some extent last gen with the plethora of moneyhats thrown at Japanese devs. Sony missed out on a shit-ton of J-RPGs, in some cases permanently.
That's my way of saying this news does not surprise me.

I bet it's called Concluding Legend or Terminal Anecdote or something.

Yeah, he doesn't have a history of trolling, but I can see being a downer about this. I'm a Shenmue fan myself, so I get the constant rollercoaster of emotion when it comes to games you want.
I sadly have to say, i seriously hope not. I bought a 360 for the JRPGs(What a weird thing to say), but after a while everything just stopped and it all went to the PS3.
Xbox one doesn't have to advantage like the 360 had though and i don't expect it to have a JRPG bubble. Meaning most fans will just move to the PS4 directly and just skip it.

Xbox one has the games.

This possibility seems most likely.

For some reason, at least during the last generation, Sakaguchi just refused to work with Sony. He apparently has a grudge or something. Not sure if it's still there though. This is also something that I vaguely remember, so I could be wrong but I seem to remember Sakaguchi not really liking Sony back then.
Yep. I have practically no doubts that a Sakaguchi game is probably coming to Xbox One now - of course we have no clue whether or not it's exclusive (and I don't really care as long as I get a new Sakaguchi game on a platform I own).

Goddamit, the one game that could get me to buy an X1. He better not be lying. If MS is reading this, I WILL buy your console if you announce a new Sakaguichi JRPG. I'll buy it right now even. Lost Odyssey is still one of my favorites of last gen.

Any quotes? I definitely remember them saying Japanese developers, but not JRPG specifically.
I did actually, two only game i ever bought on 360
was Lost Odyssey that successful on 360 ?
I amnot trying to be anti-xbox or anything but its really not a JRPG platform IIRC.
And that hurt those companies in the long run as well, its awesome that sakaguchi is making console games again, but being exclusive is the worst kind of news for him and his company
Sony doesn't need to invest too much in first party JRPGs because they end up getting a bunch of third party exclusive ones anyways from japanese devs.
He goes wherever people will publish his games.

It was a near-million seller and also considered a half-bomba.

No, I won't fall for this again. Last gen I bought a 360 because Microsoft was moneyhatting Sakaguchi and then Microsoft dumped him after Lost Odyssey. Atleast there was a good Tales game on the 360.

If this is true, I'm highly skeptical of it being next Tuesday. It's a strange timing.
It's more likely than not a Tueday sometime this year, but not next Tuesday. Dates realistically should've been locked down for any events they're planning.
New generation new approach.
for a RPG thats kind of a full on bomba

With Blue Dragon, Tales and Lost Odyssey plus ports of FFXIII 360 ironically had the most AAA RPGs last gen.
