Forums - Gaming Discussion - Hironobu Sakaguchi/Mistwalker will announce new game June 22

Damn if he announces Lost Odyssey 2 I will have to buy an Xbox One, and I don't want an Xbox One. I only want to own a PS4/Switch/PC. Then again, it probably will be PC/Xbox One multi-plat, so I might luck out. So please announce Lost Odyssey 2 Sakaguchi! I am ready.

....hasn't he learned by now?

Didnt LO go on to sell like a million copies on 360??. Since a lot of JRPG's doesnt even come close to that id call it a success for a new IP.

I think that was when a lot of PS2 owners (whom were exposed to JRPGs in the 6th gen and 5th gen too perhaps) migrated to the 360 because of the explosion of games it got when the 360 first started.  That was also back when Sony put itself in a fiasco with the PS3's $599 price point.  The 360 had all of the momentum going in 2006 and 2007.  JRPGs were still relatively hot then and anticipated and pushed by first party developers into the front.  Not to say they aren't still hot in a way, but the 7th gen did a number on their reputation...and how people feel about FFXIII may be to blame for that as we can see the drop in ratio of 360 owners that purchased FFXIII-2 vs PS3 owners purchasing FFXIII-2 from the sales of FFXIII on both systems.

I mean it still could be Lost Odyssey 2. It's entirely possible that Lost Odyssey could be like Final Fantasy, new characters and a new setting for each new game in the series. I haven't actually played LO yet, but I've been told that it's ending didn't really facilitate a direct sequel. 

By who? They could easily make a sequel out of that ending.

 

I'd prefer it if they didn't though. Final Fantasy style would be pretty cool.

"Terra World"

This is the inception of a brand new franchise -- Terra World.

Following the success of "Terra Battle" (Terra Battle 1), I have created "Terra Battle 2" and "Terra Wars." While both share the same fundamentals as Terra Battle, they offer re-designed gameplay, and a completely new world and story.

I intend to use a similar numbering structure as my past work: the FINAL FANTASY series. Each installment of the "Terra" franchise will have its disctinct feel, unique from any other.

Yes, I have become old enough that some call me a "legend," of the industry, but I wish to try and remain an active creator. Until the day I retire, I (secretly) wish to expand the "Terra World" and create 9 experiences. (As I have created 9 installments for the Final Fantasy series.)

I will continue work on the original "Terra Battle," with updates that add story and game-play to the world. I thank you for your continued support for "Terra Battle," "Terra Battle 2" and "Terra Wars."
