I really see Monolith doing great things, Xenoblade could have been better on some fronts, if they build up from that and can constantly create really good JRPGs, I'd be a really happy person. Mist Walker also has good design docs in general since we all know who runs the show there, it's just too bad that Lost Odyssey had some missing links still and The Last Story had to be toned down due to the Wii hardware level.

I see high potential in those 2 companies because their games actually get better, whereas other companies tend to play more one the safe side these days.

If only they can release more quality games in a shorter period of time...granted it´s no easy task, but it´s definitely possible, Squaresoft did it (look at that very small list on my previous post), RARE did it.

Not with current hardware levels, they'd have to go back to making stick figures for that to happen lol.

Well, as long as it´s not only one game every 5 years....before Xenoblade, what did Monolith release on the Wii?

Disaster: Day of Crisis. A game that convinced them to stick to making RPGs.

For the Wii, yes.  But they also made Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean and Baten Kaitos: Origins on GC and Soma Bringer on 3DS.  And let's not forget their XenoSaga series on PS2.

These guys have a solid RPG pedigree.   I don't know if I'd say they are on the same level as SquareSoft back in the day but I think they are probably as close as anyone else  can be at the moment.
