It is disappointing but as others have stated it was not an MS backed title like BD and Lost Odyssey. Given the fact that BD is still the best selling 360 title in Japan, I seriously doubt MS would sever their relationship with Mistwalker. BD is their biggest hit in Japan and Lost Odyssey is the only JRPG that has sold well in the West this generation.

@DMJ

Lost Odyssey is the best turn based JRPG of this generation by far. It is far better than a good deal of SE's efforts. I'd take Lost Odyssey over just about every Final Fantasy released after VI, with only IX and X coming close to it. If Lost Odyssey had the been titled Final Fantasy, I guarantee you it would have been scored higher in reviews.

 

I will agree with this lost odyssey is the best jrpg so far this generation. I must say i strongly disagree with the rest though. Lost odyssey has nothing on ff7,8,9,10.

Hopefully they'll announce their next project for Microsoft now.

Lost Odyssey is not the only JRPG which sold well in the West. Fire Emblem sold very well, ToS 2 sells well.

Or perhaps you meant for XB360. Of course, you meant at least for home consoles, as for handhelds, tons of JRPG have done far better.

 



I just laughed AQ destruction translated to mistwalker destruction somehow! Keep up the good work people.



 

Meh, Sakaguchi cant make a decent game anymore so as I said......meh. He was stuck in the past and due to that the Mistwalker games did not have immense appeal. He was a good dev in the 90's but he simply could not eveolve his skills unlike Kitase and Nomura.

This is why SE are so important in the JRPG industry, there devs are just too good. WKC is said to be rubbish by Japanese gamers, LO, BD, IU and TLR were also rubbish. TOV and Yalkyria Chronicles were the 2 best JRPG of this gen and I cann YC a JRPG because it was made in Japan. -_-

2 good games in 3 years.......parrrrrrrrrrthetic

I think I should go around and make sure every 360 exclusive list has this one disbarred.

I am pretty sure WarDevil for PS3 is Vaporware at this point too. Sad........was really looking forward to that one :(

This was never on the 360 exclusive list since it had no date.

 



Prediction made on 11/1/2008:

Q4 2008: 27M xbox LTD, 20M PS3 LTD . 2009 sales: 11M xbox,  9M PS3

Don't really care, to be honest. The description made that possible:

"This Xbox 360 game is a joint project between Mistwalker and Cavia. The theme of Cry On is tears, both of sadness and joy. Players will take control of main character Sally in this action adventure, working through scenarios that promise an emotional response.

Cry On takes place in a world where people live amongst giant sand creatures. Sally is in the company of one of them, a creature named Bogle, and fights alongside it. Although normally tiny, Bogle can transform into a giant beast to fight. He'll do so when Sally is in danger. The game promises to give players the perspective not just of Sally, but of Bogle as well. The game will play out with portions from both characters' perspectives."

via IGN.

I really don't care for saddness in a video game; that and I don't care for an adventure with giant sand people. 



GOTY Contestants this year: Dead Space 2, Dark Souls, Tales of Graces f. Everything else can suck it.

"The theme of Cry On is tears, both of sadness and joy."

It was a success, then. I experienced joy when it was announced, and sadness and tears when it was canceled.

Damn you and your incessant surfing, Hironobu!



mistwalker will still be making games this gen, because blue dragon2 and lost odyssey 2 will be made and released sometime in the next 3 years.

Have they in any way confirmed or even mentioned Lost Odyssey 2? I've heard nothing about it, but it would be interesting to see where it could go after the end of the first game.

But yeah, Mistwalker will continue on. They just revealed that new Blue Dragon game. Which looks pretty sweet, I might add!
