The current issue of the german print magazine MAN!AC has a very interesting interview with Reiko Kodama, R&D Producer at Sega. They mainly talk abou the past times and how she became a game designer for Sega, but there are two questions I'll try to translate.
She says about Phantasy Star:
And about Skies of Arcadia 2:
Sorry if old or incomprehensible. or both
She says about Phantasy Star:
MAN!AC: The "Phantasy Star"-Saga ends with the fourth title, "Phantasy Star Online" opens its own strand. Have you ever thought about going back to the roots with new games?
Kodama: Indeed I did. Right after Phantasy Star 4 the developers and I thought about a fifth chapter. To be honest we still talk about it regulary even today. I love the characters and the worlds - I would really be pleased about such a project.
And about Skies of Arcadia 2:
MAN!AC: There were rumors about a sequel (to Skies of Arcadia) or a "Gaiden" episode. Can you tell us something about that?
We had plans, but the other team members are currently working on other projects such as "Sakura Taisen" - this means SoA2 is currently on hold. Anyway I would be very glad about a new episode with the sky pirates.
