Speculation: Is "The Last Story" an FF game that Sakaguchi can call his own

But seriously, I trust that with Nintendo at the helm, it will be an effective RPG. I don't think FF9 sold as much as its predecessors, but regardless of that, Ninty will take "Gooch"'s form and make it appeal to a wider demographic somehow. Not by "casualizing" it, but giving themes or a presentation that more people will accept.

Nintendo stated before they wanted an RPG to compete with an FF, so this might/is* be it. Xenoblade is a different beast altogether. They really want to revitalize the Japanese market. Dropping two RPGs with years of dev time is a surefire way of doing it.

Just when I thought they were lazy LOL, they announce two titles in genres which require some of the most work of any games.

Highly doubt thats even possible

Oh really?.......

You don't think Nintendo developed RPG could surpass 2 million in Japan? Monster Hunter 3 passed 1 million, but that was Capcom.

ah, young padawan you do understimate the team from Kyoto. If they could drop a bomb like Pokemon, what's to say they can't make another hit. You do realize Square Enix only manges to create an FF with about $60-100 million, and as a company is horribly mismanaged. The you have Nintendo, with a workforce smaller than EA and so thrifty that they won't even PAY ATTENTION.

I like those odds.
