I heard that LO was co-owned by Mistwalker and Sakaguchi is not into franchising IPs.


Still, it's obvious that MS will have to make the first step. Developing a next gen jrpg is a heavy task and the only publisher that has proven to be ready to do it is SE right now. Look at Monolith Soft, it's taking them ages to create something as impressive as XCX and they are working with a quite weak hardware considering today's standards. I may be wrong, but I think that japanese developers just do not want to take the risk with big budget projects when mobile games sell so well in Japan, unless they're supported by big companies like Sony, MS and Nintendo, which is a shame since Japan is full of talented people.

JRPGs are the main reason I bought the PS4 so I am covered but would still like to see the Xbox One get something.

I see, let's hope Phil Spencer likes jrpgs too, he looks like the kind of guy that would support a game if he's interested in it ;)
