| FinalEvangelion said: I think Mistwalker at this point has received the same fate as other MS 1st/2nd party devs and publishers with MS. Ensemble and Mistwalker were probably my favorite two devs under the MS banner. MistWalker is probably solidly with Nintendo now. |
I personally think Microsoft sees little need to keep Mistwalker around. They formed their relationship with Mistwalker specifically to give the 360 an advantage in Japan, but they didn't really do much. Square Enix and Namco have come along to pick up the slack, and Tales of Vesperia and Star Ocean 4 have done far more for the 360 in Japan than either of Mistwalker's titles.
I think we might see a Lost Odyssey 2 at TGS, but if we don't, I'd consider their relationship to be over for the time being.
