memory, exactly.
Even if people want to say a 8.0 is underwhelming for SO4, it's still a big improvement from IU, which was the same engine.
It's not as big of an improvement as....Eternal Sonata to Tales of Vesperia, but ES>ToV's improvements were entirely focused around better gameplay, storytelling and the 'intangibles' that an engine really doesn't change. Of course, it also had an extra 6 months of development time that SO4 didn't get after IU launched....Maybe that's part of the issue?
At any rate, I think that it'd be dumb to not re-use the IU/SO4 engine for a few more games, and MS should be privy to ask that of Tri-Ace and the Square Enix team. If you have the engine already there for an RPG, you should be able to drastically reduce costs.
So we should get:
Valkyrie Profile 3
Radiata Stories 2
Or a new IP.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
