There was no need for MS to have Mistwalker anymore. Aside from Lost Odyssey, they didn't have a hit, and MS has SE and Namco under their thumb (read: checkbook), so it's no reason for Microsoft to pay for crappy JRPGs, when they can pay for good ones.

Mistwalker was this over-hyped company that delivered two 360 JRPGs that were okay, and 'good', but nothing astoundingly good like the upcoming SO4 or FFXIII, and then they tried to do the DS route, but found little success. And given how much MS has been trimming the fat off of their studios, it was bound to happen.

Goodbye Cry On, whatever you were.

So how much did you play of Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey?

Last I checked, the majority of VGCers put Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey near the top of the JRPG list for the X360. Blue Dragon has done something no other IP has done in Japan, and Lost Odyssey has done something no other JRPG has done in the West. Both are great titles.

At any rate, this is very dissapointing, but I guess AQ is to blame for this....Maybe if the game showed merit another studio (feel plus?) could pick it up. I hope MW still makes a 360 title or two, as both of their entries are great JRPGs. Lets hope that the new title Sakaguchi talked about a few months ago will be announced in short order.

 



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
