Nah, but seriously, I hope they stick to JRPG's from now on. I didn't like the Xenosaga games, but what I've played of Xenoblade has been masterful so far. (And to answer your question, wikipedia (however unreliable) points to them helping with Skyward Sword development) In terms of JRPG's on the Wii-U's gamepad, I'd like to see a return to more turn based combat. The kind of thing where you decide your moves as you go along on the gamepad and then watch them take place on the big screen. I reckon that could work pretty well. Looking up a monster's weak point on it sounds fine and all, but it sounds more like a gimmick than a revolution in the genre. |
We know they are working on at least two games at the moment, however I suspect there is a third. One is Project X Zone (ie NamcoxCapcomxSEGA). The other is unannounced, but I believe it to be Baten Kaitos 3. We saw this image of the game on their website:
That image strongly reminds me of Baten Kaitos' pre-rendered world maps, such as:
For this reason I believe they are making a Baten Kaitos 3. They have officially announced there are working on a WiiU game ( http://www.siliconera.com/2011/06/24/xenoblade-developer-monolith-soft-working-on-wii-u-title/ ), yet we don't know whether this is the same game that the top image is from. If not, a third game is in the works and what I assume is Baten Kaitos 3 is probably for the 3DS.
Myself, I personally what to see a new open world, real time RPG from Monolith Soft, in many ways a spiritual successor to Xenoblade Chronicles.
