Do you guys mind using spoilers or staying in topic? There's people out there (like me), who haven't played Xenoblade or FF X (I own both and haven't touched them). And you're not even chatting about developing the fourth episode of Xenosaga... And you basically spoiled the inevitable and predictable endings of both games, but they were spoiled anyway!!!

Anyway, my pick would be a collab between tri-ace and tri-crescendo. Ace has Star Ocean under their belt, I'm currently playing The Last Hope, and the whole Sci-Fi thing is very well done. It also deals with themes kind of similar to religion, and all of that mature stuff.

Crescendo.. Eternal Sonata, Baten Kaitos, and FRAGILE DREAMS for gods sake!!! They know how to handle emotional and deep stories related to mature themes, plus Fragile has to be the most beautiful game ever made.

I say Tri-Ace and Tri-Crescendo WITH Yuki Kajiura helping soundtrack wise, and bang you have a masterpiece.

This would be another team I could see doing a very good job. Would the cost outweigh the profits by getting two dev teams together?

There were other summoners already making the pilgramage to bannish Sin.

And non of them were powerful enough.

It was never said that no one else was powerful enough. 

Then why didn't one of the other summoners get the job done?

The tales team could do a good job depending imo. Some of their plots are great some aren't but I still think they have it in them Tales of symphonia and abyss are prime example that they can build good lore and characters. Tri ace is sketchy sometimes they are awesome other times their so so as hell I still love their work and could see them making a xeno game as well. Square enix could def make a new good one if they really tried there's some talented people over there.

Naughty Dog. Just for the lulz.



I'm now filled with determination.

Tri Ace are so-so at times, but so is Namco Bandai and I believe out of the two Tri Ace has a lot more experience with scifi games. As far as Square-Enix, I don't think would be able to handle the story at all. I won't even get into how neutered their class systems and character customizations have been over last gens console Final Fantasies with the exception of XIV (and even still XIV had to be released twice).

Well, we're being delusional with the Xbox One exclusive and 2.5 million copies sold... Why wouldn't Tri-Ace and Tri-Crescendo work together again in this scenario?

There really isn't any developer like Monolith Soft. Platinum and Konami together could make something that would make something that might work.

Platinum and Konami? That's a strange combination.
