Brand new easily, something fresh.
Personally I want to see LO2 appear and have it sell enough to have them working on a new IP later down the line.

I'm pretty sure this isn't a thing.
Think SE can manage to kill themselves without Sony.
People are weird that way. Wanting to label everything even if the closest they can come is "because a looks similar to b they both are c"
What the fuck? Above me it lives two old people(80+) and from the sound of it they have been screwing the latest effing hour! Sorry have to share this but man, kudos to them!
Verendus. He didn't said 'FF killer' I think. Just a JRPG similar to the FF style.

Oh man, if this happens I will pee my pants in front of everyone!
LO was such a great journey for me and even if it's not LO I can't wait for a next gen JRPG from the same creator if properly funded by Microsoft.

Interesting. Have many of Verendus' claims panned out?
The need to delineate East/West confuses the hell out of me.
It reminds me of the racial draft skit.

Please let it be Lost Odyssey 2, this will make me so happy about my Xbox One purchase

Jrpg's still don't sell that well when made just for the western market-
Lost Odysey came out when the Xbox 360 had a much bigger install base than the X1 right now and last I heard it didn't even manage to sell 1 Million units, partially because it being a X360 exclusive ment that it good truly poor sales in japan.
Also, JRPG might not have much competition on next gen but RPG on general do. This year alone the Witcher 3 and Dragon Age are going to be heavy hitters

The bar is really that low eh? It's called begging, my friend. Shameless begging. Kinda like what I've been doing for quite some time via twitter in hopes of getting some kind of response from Phil, and maybe he finally decided to have a little fun with the subject lol. If this somehow ends up being true, and that in turn makes me a shill, then I will wear the label like a badge of honor. Sakaguchi is my favorite developer, and so to borrow a bit from TLC, I ain't too proud to beg for another one of his amazing games.
Also, Tuesday, if this is accurate doesn't have to be this coming Tuesday, which I'm sure is part of the joke here. Microsoft's E3 press conference last year was June 10th. June 10th this year falls on... a Tuesday! So, that's what I'm quietly clinging my hopes to right now. There's no way I actually believe we're going to hear about a potential new Sakaguchi JRPG this coming Tuesday, but I would sure love to be wrong. Please, please be wrong. And, hey, Phil could have just been telling me exactly what I wanted to hear, because I've been nagging about it so much. But it's a lot better than an outright dismissal of the idea, that's for sure.
In other words...
I only own a xbox 360 now because of blue dragon and lost odyssey. There's no other reason that I purchased one, those two games are it. Sure it stung not seeing follow ups, but I was still never disappointed with my purchase, because they they were absolutely worth it in my eyes.
What would you do if it was announced to be multiplatform, and with PS4 getting exclusive content?

make sure you install the game, greatly cuts down on random battles loading time.

He made a surfing IOS game called Party Wave. I just downloaded the free version of it, terrible.

Yeah, he said a first party JRPG and a spiritual sequel to Demon's Souls in tandem with MIyazaki and From Software.
The former certainly jibes with Kotaku's article about Sony reorienting Japan Studio towards large scale development projects, making it more like Naughty Dog, Sony Santa Monica, and its other western studios.
Edit:
Forgot about the whole JRPG1 and JRPG2 distinction from verendus' post. Hm.

About that, where is he? Haven't seen him around since his DQ tease.
Anyway, on topic.
Mistwalker really oughta do something new. I personally never gave LO a chance, it was like FFXIII. It didn't hold up to my expectations and I left it somewhere...probably at the same place as my 360..wherever that is.

Sounds like a sarcastic answer with no substance behind it what-so-ever.

I love me some Mistwalker. I would be thrilled to see a sequel to Lost Odyssey or a new IP from them.

They did give up on it last gen and they may give up on it just as quickly this gen.

Despite my distaste for the hardware itself, an exclusive Sakaguchi/Mistwalker game might make me actually buy a Xbone.

Me too and I got burned. Not going to do it again.
FFXV and KH III at E3 2013.
done! is there a good OT I should dig up, or a noteworthy LTTP thread? or should I just go in raw? I literally know nothing about this game, haven't even read the back of the box.
I was disappointed too (I bought a 360 just for that game, I was REALLY hyped). It wasn't perfect, but still pretty good. You should give it a second chance.
I couldn't finish Blue Dragon though, my 360 died before I could finish it and I didn't bother buying another one. But I liked it too, even if the story and characters where a little stupid it is one of the few JRPGs this generation with good exploration.

I wouldn't care. I'll take big Sakaguchi game releases however I can get them, even PS4 or Wii-U exclusive.

Would a LO2 on XBO mean that PS4 won't have RPGs?

That game was a pure abomination it was worse then WKC.
What about The Last Story?

Hah, I love my Wii U, but that would be all kinds of worrying to me with the current state of the platform (Sakaguchi & Mistwalker wouldn't get the kind of sales they deserve). I suppose it could make sense if it were a sequel to The Last Story. Admittedly, it would be hilarious to watch a quarter of Neogaf end up banned in the aftermath of an announcement like that. It'd be like a ten-fold Bayonetta 2 announcement.
What mistake? Mistalker can't develop a game themselves. They're an extremely small studio that is more of a concept studio than a proper development studio. If it weren't for Microsoft bankrolling their games, helping to set up FeelPlus, etc. then Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon would not have existed. They're one of the few RPG centric developers that will work with Microsoft, primarily because they're so publisher reliant. Sony has a wide range of Japanese developers to choose from. There's no barrier in that regard. So why work with Mistwalker who has a history of releasing games that don't set the charts on fire, and have to drop a large sum of cash to make that happen, when Level5, Atlus, etc. are going to release RPG's exclusively on your console regardless.

I know Verendus claimed this was a thing but I don't believe it for a second to be honest (I haven't seen anything he's claimed pan out as yet in fact).
I'm not seeing the PS4 doing majorly better than Xbone in Japan, and Sony are bound to be aware of the state of that market at this point. I don't see them funding a major JRPG either when it's biggest target market are likely to take no notice.
I could believe the 'Demons Souls 2' talk as that would have a shot at real international success, but not a 'proper' JRPG.
Exactly. You really hit the nail on the head with what I was trying to say. PS4 is the bro machine now.
Surface of Me
I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
Is the console market in Japan that bad?
I was doing so well holding out on an Xbox One too. It was relatively easy too - the launch has been less than stellar. JRPG on the other hand....fuuuuuuucccckkkk.
No, the success of TitanFall, COD and BF will make it so we don't get RPGs. Market trends..*sigh*

Blue Dragon and Tales are not AAA lol. Also you do know the PS3 has gotten 4 Tales game's this gen with another coming this year while 360 has got 1.
Lol no. PS4 will walk past XB1's lifetime sales in that country in a year......and the PS4 isn't even going to be selling well. Thats how bad Xbox does in Japan.
