I think that the playstation experience could be the right place for this, it's only the question if the game is ready to show, but let's hope so...

I dont know. PSX strikes me as far too fan orientated to make a major JRPG announcement. imo, making that announcement on a more world stage would be better to solidfy the JRPF presence of the PS4.
But as longa s teh game exists thats what counts haha

What make you think, that it could be LoD? Give he a hint...?

Verendus said it's Sony second attempt at making a JRPG like Final Fantasy, the first and only was LoD.
Also he talked about two JRPGs that time, and he said the other was a new IP, but he didn't said this one was.
I may be wrong, but it was screaming LoD to me.
Another thing, he said it was starting that year, and 2012 was when LoD finally came to the US PSN, it performed really well and was the only PS1 game to be nominated to dispute PSN classic of the year (against San Andreas and Persona 3 FES). The news was delivered to the PS Blog by Shuhei himself, it was one of his really rare posts there.
Also, last year Cerny said he would love another LoD, and also that it was his favorite game from the 90s, and his was very influential at Sony by that time (with PS4 launch he even got a game, Knack), Shu is LoD producer, it was really a suitable envyronment to talks about LoD to happen, and even more after FF7R announcement.
I may be reading too much into it, sure, I'm ver inclined in doing so because of my love about the game and over a decade of waiting and trying to find any hope or hint about it, but there it is, my explanation :P

What exactly did he say about GT? Just that GT Sport would not be there? Cause that doesnt mean the next GT is not there, could just mean that its not called GT Sport as speculated. I think it would be a stupid move not to have it at PGW... its a far better venue than PSX for that sort of announcement.
I dont really see this JRPG being LoD2. Nor do I think Sony is pursing the IP anymore. Its just too old, and it doesnt really have the legacy to back up most people actually caring about a sequel. Cerny liking LoD and Shuhei being the producer doesnt really mean much I feel. LoD2 was in development and it was cancelled. If it wasnt made for PS2 or PS2 I cant see it being made for PS4.
A sequel would be cool but after all these years they are better off with something new, or with LoD2 using a subtitle instead of number and being its own game only semi-related to the first.

"Don't board the hype train if it's headed to Paris..."
That's what the GT guy said, pretty clear imo.
Also I could see a JRPG being announced at PSX, I actually think it's more of a thing that would fit in at an event for the fans (while it's still going to be watched by tons of people), a lot of whom, at least online, like JRPGs. Depending on how good it looks a JRPG might just be swallowed whole on a stage like E3. Honestly PSX is a pretty good stage for almost any Sony first party game to be revealed, imo.
But I do agree on the game not being anything Legend of Dragoon, I know BraLod would love it but I just don't see it happening.
