Yes i agree. i also think that Wada is fully aware of the mixed reception of FF13 both in Japan and overseas, and he will now hedge his bets on PDD4 to revive the series. which is why i think it would have to be coming sooner rather than later.
imo FF13-2 looks to be a step in the right direction with more gameplay options. FF13-2 has more RPG elements returning. but i dont think its the step in the right direction in terms of tone. i think what we need now is more of the realisim and belivability we had with FF12.
not to mention that while FF12 also recieved a mixed reception, however the critical reception of the game was extremely high.
theres no telling what feats PDD4 could acheive with the FF Tactics team leading them while at the same time responding to the criticisims of FF12. which i thought was a good game, but was not perfect.
anyway we will see - its possible that Sqaure want to wait until FF13-2 is released before annoucing it.
