"This is a brand new project that will offer something different from Monolithsoft's usual brand image. It is a new challenge they are tackling. They are looking for programmers and battle planners for the action portion of the game, specifically people who have experience in action games and able to handle responsive combat.

This is definitely a fantasy action RPG."

and

"Taken from the website. They are recruiting "action game staff" in particular, and the individual recruitment pages for the action part programmers and action part battle planners specify desired action game experience and responsiveness and enemy AI as things they want to emphasize. For the battle planners, they are also looking for those with an interest in medieval fantasy and understanding of western entertainment trends."

Really hope something comes out of this art and job listings, sounds like it could be really neat

There are what appears to be a dragon and a statue of an angel in the concept art ...

Could we have a christian inspired theme for the game at hand ?

Edit: There's also what appears to be a symbol of Flamel's Crest on the back of the knight in armor's cape ... (Could this knight possibly be from an alchemist's organization ? What relevance does alchemy have in the game itself anyway ?) 

Far out, these guys aren't messing around these days, already onto their next project. Hopefully like XB2 they piggyback this on the XCX engine to speed things along.

While I liked the Xenoblade games a lot, action games are more my cup of tea than RPGs, who I'd be super keen for a full blown action title for Monolith.

I'm digging the concept art a lot.

If they get the right people, I think we'll be in for quite the treat.

Color me interested as well. It's nice to see them trying something different. Hopefully something really cool comes out of this.

That looks really interesting. I'm looking forward to seeing more about this.

Im glad this looks original. If im being honest, the combat in Xenoblade turned me off.

Get ready to befriend that dragon.

lol, watch it be Ravenblade risen from the dead.

I remember the last time MonolithSoft released concept art... can't remember what that ended up being or how long it took to come to fruition, but I feel like it was forever.
